We don't like big white hotels in resorts, offering facilities such as gyms and entertainment that we don't use. This place was perfect for us; restful and quiet amidst large, beautifully kept gardens.
The rooms had small windows but were were well lit, with a very pleasing reading light, that made reading in bed easy. You have to hire a safe key and pay a deposit on the remote control, and ask if you want a hair dryer, all of which was slightly irksome. There is no wi-fi in the rooms, only in the reception area, and no kettle etc..
The staff were all exceedingly friendly and helpful, especially in phoning the Mt Teide cable car company for us when we had a problem.
The food in the restaurant was delicious, though always served on cold plates, which on January's chilly evenings, meant the food wasn't hot for long. The menu was extensive enough to keep us busy for 6 nights trying different things, and was partially changed during the week.
There is nowhere else really to eat within walking distance, but we didn't want to anyway. A car is essential here.
Do visit the Pyramids of Guimar park nearby, if you like history, geology and botany. We nearly didn't, and were so glad we went and spent a happy two hours relaxing there on the last day.
We would be very happy to come back and stay at this hotel again.
