Parador de La Gomera

Beautiful hotel with every comfort and very helpful and friendly staff. Recommend a room with a balcony and sea view but all the rooms are superb. The food is not cheap but excellent, especially the breakfasts. All in all it’s very good value with the bonus of a beautifully situated pool

Wonderful luxury for the end of a walking holiday. The bedrooms and bathrooms were modern but the furniture appeared old. (The beds were very high.) There were lots of different places to sit, both inside and outside. The gardens and most (all?) of the bedrooms overlooked the sea. The food was exceptional. Dinner was not particularly expensive. Breakfast was amazing. The staff were all very helpful.

Good sized rooms and you feel a bit like a guest of the original owner of the hunting lodge. The staff at the parador are just excellent- super friendly, correct and helpful. Very civilised and loads of small seating areas around where you can sit quietly with or without a glass of wine. Top place.

Great hotel for 2 full days of RnR after a week of walking. Rooms and pool area good. Breakfast good but bit of a scrum around the buffet. Evening bar short of staff and dinner for 6 in the restaurant was disappointing. Found better food in town. But definitely nice place to stay.

Just back from a 7 night stay in this parador. A lovely hotel with very comfortable rooms and a fantastic gardens with views over the town of San Sebastian and back to Tenerife. Very helpful staff. We did half board. Buffet breakfast were excellent. Following a late arrival we did eat in the hotel once ....it was ok, if a little expensive compared to what was on offer in town. The hotel is a 5-600 MTR walk to the town, but with a vertical gain of approx 70 MTRS. Bear this in mind if you have mobility issues.

I so wanted to rave about this exquisite parador, unfortunately we slept extremely poorly during the 7 nights of our stay! We changed rooms a few times, to no avail, until we discovered the culprit: an enormous 5G antenna, 100 meters away! San Sébastien, the capital of this gem of an island, is unfortunately plagued by 5G antennas, as well as by wind turbines perched around town, to the great displeasure of many locals. This parador is located directly above the port, which means that when relaxing by the pool, you get noise from ferries that iddle for 2 hours a few times a day, or from the eventual fiesta that goes on all night long... So, if you're looking for a real quiet place and are sensitive to EMFs, you'll be better off going to the beautiful wild north ( near Hermigua, for instance). As for the parador, it is simply exquisite, with lovely gardens and nooks everywhere to read or relaxe. The pool is huge and warm (in July). The restaurant is excellent and truly the best of this island (Menu is small but excellent : do try the Mango gaspacho with crayfish, or the Caramelized octopus). The bar courtyard is beautiful, and Antonio the barman just great! Rooms are simple, but spacious, with seaview, high ceilings ang good firm bedding. Bathrooms have been somewhat updated but still need TLC ( the large rain showerheads are higher than the glass enclosure, hence inundate the whole bathroom. And the soap dispensors, simply glued on the shower wall, keep falling off...) Common areas are exquisite and numerous. And, above all, staff is stellar, professionnal and friendly! Thank you Orlando, Antonio, and everyone! We unfortunately won't be able to come back, unless this 5G antenna is taken down, which would delight the locals as well, but is highly unlikely!

A very nice hotel in traditional style. Good food, nice staff and a wonderful location with a view over San Sebastian harbourarea and beach. The garden is a relaxing oasis. We stayed for a week with half pension. Next time we would like to stay for a fortnight.
