We stopped here for lunch a couple of years ago and had always planned to come back for an overnight stay. COVID-19 put paid to that last year but the Hotel kept our reservation open and we finally made it this week. It is a beautiful boutique hotel in a small town at the foot to El Teide. Perfect for exploring the Teno mountains, Saintiago valley and El Teide itself. The staff were so friendly and helpful and despite having to wear masks, their smiles shone through and made you feel immediately at home. Our room was a decent size with a lovely bathroom. After a long days hiking I certainly appreciated a soak in the bath rather than a walk in shower. The breakfast buffet covers all the usual options and tevening meal menu was small but varied with interesting choices. The Friday evening Hake was a particular highlight alongside the cold cauliflower soup. The staff asked if I wanted mine warm, perhaps sensing that cold soup is not a particularly British thing, but I wanted to enjoy as the chef intended. All I can say is perhaps cold soup should become a particularly British thing. The wines were local and the size of the after dinner brandies would have won the approval of my mum. It is a great place to stay and if you want to see different aspect to this amazingly varied holiday island then please consider this place as a luxurious base camp for onward exploration

We have stayed here before but this time it was for two nights, half board. Principally for observing stars. I took my Seestar S50 telescope to capture nebulae. Paradors always have an excellent reputation and rightly so. High standards in rooms, bathrooms & toiletries! All the staff are pleasant & very helpful. The food is típico - local dishes, such as rabbit and wrinkled potatoes! Wonderful. Join their Amigos scheme & get discounts and a welcoming glass of wine. The only downside on this visit was the loss of our camera ( not their fault but it was old, why didn't someone hand it in?). And I went down with food poisoning! Qué lástima! Avoid langoustinos. The peace & tranquility is amazing here. The air is so clear (humidity is 25% do very dry), the UV is about 25% higher too. Be careful. A great place to visit.

The restaurant staff is extremely disrespectful and disgraceful to hotel guests! They embarrass you in front of other guests. I tried my best to manage well with my two little kids (8 and 6) and a 75 years old mother, but they did everything to make our holiday a very experience at the hotel! Their way of speaking and behaving (showing fingers while speaking to you all the time) is completely wrong. They have absolutely no understanding for the situation. The made a hell for us. We will NEVER go back and I will not recommend this hotel to anyone. Even my little kids noticed clearly that restaurant staff were extremely unfriendly. We have been to Spain in different parts and never, NEVER, seen behaviour like this. Shame!!! One example: My little daughter (6 years old) needed to go to the wc in the middle of our dining. I, of course, had no choice but to take her to the wc. When we came back, the restaurant staff had already taken away our food and all the plates, water and wine from our table. We thought ok, maybe they guessed that we were gone for the evening. So we took food again from the buffet and sat on a new table. They came to us and told us harshly to leave, and told us we were not allowed to eat again because we were only allowed to enter the buffet restaurant once! For heavens sake what is this kind of treatment. They embarrass you in front of other guests. DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL!!! The view from our room on the 7th floor was amazing, though. Room: 2/5 View: 5/5 Pool: 2/5 Pool bar:1/5 (dead) Food: 2/5 Friendliness: 0/5 Recommend?: No!

I believed the reviews of this hotel which was a mistake. This could be a great hotel with a fair bit of work. Making it into an aparthotel would be worthwhile. It does need updating to match 4 star expectations Good points: Views from the hotel are great. Steep walk into the town but nice to do. Courtesy bus is useful. Public transport is quick and cheap Breakfast buffet was good with a decent selection Supermarket is easy to walk to The hotel is clean and problems are rectified quickly. Bad points No soundproofing for rooms, can hear conversations from corridors, rooms above, below and to the side. Loud music was played from rooms. This was not good Terrible mattress on the bed - never come up against such a lumpy, uncomfortable mattress. Dreadful weeks sleep No drink making facilities in the room despite the kitchenette ( which is only equipped if paid for) Unusual to not have toiletry items such as shower caps, tissues, emergency toothbrushes etc in a four star hotel Room in general looked tired - very faded furniture cushions. Woodwork was shabby. Balcony railings were quite badly rusted Adult pool was unheated and icy. It was unusable because it was so cold Gym area exists but there is very little to it - quite disappointed Courtesy bus does not run on Saturday afternoons or Sundays. When it does run the timings can be as much as 20 minutes open - which was a heart stopping moment because it almost made us late for checkout and the airport transfer Given the hotels location at the top of a hill at the top of another steep hill it was surprising there was no shop to buy some essentials - large bottles of drinking water for example. Found one vending machine that did not sell much WiFi was slow - not to the speeds it was suggested to be

If you're a wheelchair user, please make sure to let the hotel know with plenty of notice. I use a wheelchair that doesn't fold and I couldn't get into my room without taking the wheels off as there's a wardrobe immediately as you enter the room. Fortunately, I am able to walk and only use my chair for longer distances.l, but for others, this could be a real issue. We stayed in that room for one night and they were happy enough to swap me into a different room in the morning. That first night was awful. There were concerning dips in the floor and the noise from being next to the ocean was so loud, plus the wind rattles the windows, it sounded like I was lost at sea. The receptionist was lovely and upgraded us to a family room, no issues, though I hope for the sake of others that there are double rooms available that are more accessible, not just family rooms. The family room was luckily on the other side, so it was totally silent. The breakfasts were quite stale and the milk for the cereal was warm so stuck with the crepes every morning. We did have dinner here one evening but unfortunately, when I got to the dessert stand, there was a cockroach crawling on the food. They were very apologetic and gave both of us a glass of wine as an apology, but then still had to pay full price on the meals. Fortunately, we did bring an extension cord as there weren't many sockets and not all of them even worked. There were no ceiling lights, just plug in lamps, which made it quite dim at night. The pool is barely heated but it takes a few seconds for your body to acclimatise. The mattress is quite firm and I found the pillows were far too high. Also beware that the hotel is on a VERY steep hill. Luckily, I can actually walk quite well in hot weather but I was definitely out of breath when I got from the bottom of the hill to the hotel. The WiFi is awful and I ended up just using my data. The zoo is well worth visiting though and it's a very short distance away. As you come into the hotel, it's got a huge lovely lobby which was lovely to sit in, so it really surprised me how poor everything else was. I have no ill intentions and the staff were lovely but I have to be honest.

Just been back again for the third year, and we’ll definitely be back next year. We love this hotel. Amazing value for money, great pool area and pool bar, we love the hot tubs. We’re always sad to say goodbye to the friendly lizards. The rooms are great, air conditioned, good soundproofing and black out blinds. All of the staff are great. We never want to go home on our last day.
