Having visited Canadas del Teide many times during frequent stays in Tenerife we decided to spend a night in the parador this year (February) to get a better view of the stars. Unfortunately a full moon meant we didn’t see the stars as well as we hoped, but the view of the moon through binoculars was spectacular. Any disappointment over... More

The last night of our holiday - mostly on La Gomera - was spent at this hotel. The setting is stupendous. Our room looked directly onto the peak of elTeide (Spain's highest mountain) and it was awe-inspiring early in the morning as the sunrise turned the mountain red. The ride up the mountain had been stunning as well as the... More

We have recently got back from a 9 day break in Tenerife. We stayed at the Parador for three night and should have stayed longer! This is a far cry from the tourist resorts that people immediately think of when Tenerife is mentioned. Other than the hotel there is very little here for the regular holidaymaker. The hotel is super... More

In the middle of a moon/mars-like landscape under the towering quiet volcano :..... impressive The hotel has comfortable rooms but not much activities possible except walks along posted paths. Service in the restaurant is slow. We read that all staff are state-employees. They demonstrate the zeal and service motivation that may prove this. No internet-access at all here. Television reception... More

Was really excited about staying at The Parador due to its location, and what i had read in brochures/website. It was the most expensive of the hotels we chose on the island and the only one we didn't really enjoy. It just lacked soul, once the sun went down we expected to sit by the fire as i had seen...

The setting is amazing and this makes up for a variable hotel stay experience. Very little information is given so basic things like check-in/out time, parking facilities, restaurant opening remain a secret until arrival. We visited mid-week but there were still quite a few guests staying. Check-in felt more like entering another country. The welcome wasn't very friendly and the... More

Great views from our room ( no 101). Lots of stars in the night. Food ok. I would recommend it very much because of the location. More

We stayed 4 nights in this hotel at the foot of the Teide volcano. The hotel is remote so a car is of the essence if you want to remain mobile. it is located at 2200 m altidude in the middle of the caldera of the Teide national park. The cable car that brings you to the top of the... More

Amazingly awful, unhelpful staff, extremely poor food- in that it was non-existant. I had expected poor value and high cost - but I had not expected to check that they were open and serving, therefore arrive, to only then be told no food could be served as either a bar or restaurant menu. Apparently they are full. There was the... More
