Parador de La Gomera

The hotel is an excellent converted old Spanish monastery/farmhouse and retains lots of beautiful old features - in many ways feels like you're staying in a castle! Secluded location with a quiet pool overlooking San Sebastian harbour and beach. Perfect place for a couple's getaway if you make the trip to La Gomera. All staff are super friendly and happy to help you enjoy your time in La Gomera - though you almost don't even want to leave the hotel!

Absolutely loved this oasis. Great staff, great views, loved the garden, restaurant was fantastic.

The hotel location gives it fantastic views over San Sebastian but it is a long way out of the town and no facilities close by. Guests without transport have no alternative but to use all the hotel's facilities. Having said that the room overlooking the sea view was very comfortable and the dinner at night was delicious if a little expensive. We left early morning before breakfast so cannot offer any opinion. The hotel is quite old with an open plan design which in January/February means that the ambience can be cold. Overall it was an expensive dinner bed and breakfast at over 300 euros.

Beautiful hotel. Great buffet breakfast. Set high on a Hill top overlooking the harbor. Lovely gardens and very helpful staff.

We had a wonderful 3 nights at the parador, it was beautiful, very calm and restful. Staff were friendly and made our stay comfortable , the swimming pool was fabulous and was fairly quiete during our stay, there are many areas where you can sit peacefully and away from others if that is what you are looking for

As other guests have mentioned, the hotels position high above San Sebastian could be a problem for those not wanting to walk the steep hills above the town. The staff although attentive, needed prompting to provide information concerning the hotel's amenities and the islands attractions. The hotel itself provided a calm and restful environment, which was enhanced by the tasteful decoration, courtyards and beautiful sub tropical gardens with wonderful views. The Standard Double we booked was larger than we had expected and the furnishings, bed and bedding were more than adequate. The bath screen however, was a little tired but overall the hotel and room was very good indeed.

The hotel could be a fabulous gem of a place , its perched on top of a cliff overlooking the bay and has a stunning garden. This is a large and under used property with big public rooms and it felt a little like staying in a museum. But it's let down by the limited number of staff on duty at any one time and the quality of the service they provided, irritating during check in, in the hotel bar and service in the restaurant. Internet was free but only available within short range of reception. Food at breakfast was very good but the evening meal could be best described as adequate.

We loved the atmosphere of the Parador - relaxed, quiet, understated - wonderful shady gardens and inner courtyards with wonderful old trees - especially the Dragon Tree. We hired a car for a couple of days and toured the island - San Sebastan is a good place to begin a tour. The town has a good night time feel with locals enjoying the evenings. The harbour which can be watched from the terrace of the Parador is fascinating. We would go back again.

Parador slightly dated. Beautiful, peaceful setting. Very well maintained pool. Staff extremely helpful.

We stayed on a B&B basis. On the one night we did eat in the hotel, I found the choice limited and the prices high. Our bedroom was spacious. The bathroom had seen better days. The hotel advertises that it provides a hairdryer in every room, but it took 36 hours from me reporting that there wasn't one in our room for one to be provided which I thought was a very slow response time.
