Fantastic in all respects. Beautiful property with all sorts of little nooks and crannies for sitting and enjoying the view. Pedro is gracious and helpful in all ways. My husband and I loved it, you should go as well.

This hotel is a real find if you want to avoid the crowds - there is another side to Tenerife. Set amidst a banana plantation, the grounds are fantastic with beautifully tended flower beds, lots of secluded terraces to sit and relax.............and Pedro will guide you to the many good restaurants in nearby unspoilt Garachico. The sea and mountain views are unparalleled, and better than the nearby but more expensive "El Patio". The rooms are excellently maintained, although I would try to avoid "P" and "B" unless which have no view - but their own enclosed courtyard. One point: its difficult to find. Don't rely on the website directions, but download a map from Google etc, and on the main road exit at El Guincho. And take warm clothes for the spring evenings!

I rated this property average, which is kind of misleading, as it's the average of both great and terrible features.
The great: - the property itself is absolutely gorgeous, nestled in a banana grove, overlooking the beautiful sea. Each of the buildings include a few rooms that share a common, comfortable living room (with TV, refreshments, magazines). There is also a large garden and terrace, perfect to watch the sunset. - Pedro, the owner, is a cheerful lad who makes you feel welcome. He provided plenty of good advice for eating and sightseeing.
The not so good / bad: - The room (at least my room) was so dark, even in the middle of the day I had to turn on the lights. There was only a tiny window at the back overlooking an outdoor corridor, and since the personnel often walked pass the window, the blinds were shut most of the time (by the personnel itself). The bathroom on the other hand was modern and nice. - Sound-proofing is non-existent, so be prepared to witness your neighbor's prowess :) We also shared a wall with the breakfast room; Since it only opens at 08:30 it was fine, but we wouldn't have been able to sleep in if we wanted to. - Over the top german-friendly policy: some of the information is written in german only (not even in spanish), cable TV and magazines are in german, and even weirder, the guests (all german) made us feel very unwelcome. We were stared at with pretty unfriendly looks, and most of the time didn't answer when we greeted them. Pretty heavy, but I prefer to think we were just unlucky...
The ugly: - The breakfast was one of the worst I had in a B&B ever: the spread was varied enough, but everything was of the cheapest kind: the dry industrial baguette, industrial juice, industrial jam, and worst of all in sunny Tenerife: tasteless tomatoes and disgusting (industrial, again) ham and cheese. At 86€ / night, I was expecting local, fresh produce! That was a major letdown.

What a peaceful place to relax on a comfortable sofa or sun lounger while looking over a panoramic view of the sea over the banana plantations. The gardens are beautifully kept and a joy. It's very quiet, with no road noise and several delightful seating areas, yet just a few minutes to Garachico or Icod by car, which is pretty much essential unless all you want to do is chill with a book.
The breakfast buffet was plentiful - smoked salmon one day, ham or eggs the next and a selection of cereals and fruits and fresh baguettes too, though croissants and small cakes were packaged. That said, it would have been great to have trays at breakfast, as guests can eat wherever they like and - for the best views - you have to make numerous journeys to carry everything on side plates. By the time we'd done that our tea was cold (and the jug of coffee was awful!). Also, we had to discreetly remove some heavily scented fake flowers and fragrance sticks from our room as we wanted fresh air, not chemical fragrance! These are small issues though, and owner, Pedro, is very helpful, though rarely around. But having the place to ourselves was fabulous, so we didn't mind at all.
For us the best thing about the location is a small, dark sandy beach and platform to the sea just 5 minutes' walk through the bananas on a path, which makes up for having no pool at Malpais Trece (though there is a tennis court). It was 25 degrees in mid-April and we swam and sunbathed with the locals. A really lovely property.

This small hotel is exactly what I was looking for. It is set in the middle of a banana Grove with a great view over the ocean. Pedro, the manager is really friendly and ready to help/answer any questions. Definitely get a list of restaurants that he recommends. You won't be disappointed and the suggested restaurants are also frequented by locals. The rooms were very clean and we had maid service every day. There is a good spread at breakfast as well. Finding the hotel can be a bit tricky the first time.My GPS could not find it. Just take the El Guincho exit (exit right after Icod) and then take the first road going down to the right, just past the small sign for the hotel. At the first fork in the road, go straight (left) through the green gate. A few more turns and you are there.

We have just returned from our second visit to Malpais Trece - and it has not disappointed. This is a wonderful place, situated in a peaceful position among the banana plantations and overlooking the rugged coastline. The rooms are excellent, well furnished, and the breakfasts superb. The surrounding gardens give a tropical feel to the whole property and the many terraces and verandas are well equipped with luxurious outdoor furniture. Manager Pedro really makes you feel at home and is ever ready to give advice on things to do and places to eat. He has good English so non Spanish speakers need have no worries on that score. We'll be back!

Beautiful, tranquil family run hotel, AMAZING sea views, set on a hill above banana plantations. We LOVED this place. Super charming family run small hotel (8 rooms). The 8 rooms are spread across three single storey buildings. We stayed in room 8 which had a sea view. The feel is that of a private house. Room and bathroom were great. Breakfast is super nice, and the staff are charming. We spent most of our time relaxing in the sunshine and taking in the fabulous location. We ate every night in Garachico, which is 5 min drive away... Loads of really nice restaurants there... You don't actually need to go anywhere else except Garachico, which is a really charming old village. If you want to go exploring this is a great base from which to do so. COULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE HIGHER.

Lovely hidden place with the perfect surrounding. Comfortable, small and tidy with lots of beautiful details. Good breakfast, an owner with a good Humor. Get there and enjoy a holiday far away from any touristic big hotels.

This place is gorgeous. Lots of outdoor space for sitting or sunbathing. Surrounded by banana plantations. Comfortable room with lovely ensuite shower room with toiletries and hairdryer. Safe in the room. The breakfast has plenty of choice and there is a kettle, tea and coffee freely available all the time. You ideally need a car as the town of Garachico is a good couple of kilometres away and not a pleasant route on the main road to get there if you have to walk. There is a bar that serves ok food at the top of the drive on the main road but more choice in Garachico. There is parking on site. Fully recommend if staying in the area.
