Needs spa to be open longer. Hot tub by pools.

This property has the potential to be truly spectacular. We chose it for the final few days of our holiday, hoping to do some work planning and enjoy a soft landing before heading home. The setting and design are stunning—cozy beds, beautifully landscaped gardens, incredible concrete work, and thoughtfully chosen furniture and decor. However, we found the lack of privacy disappointing. The shower and toilet areas had no walls, only glass, and the lounge chairs were just a few feet from our neighbors, which felt uncomfortably close. Wi-Fi was a major challenge. It was spotty at best, which made our work-focused visit difficult and frustrating. This property is not ideal for a working vacation. While I’d read reviews mentioning limited restaurant access, it was still surprising that such a large facility with four restaurants offered so little selection, restricted hours, and an overall lack of flexibility. Rather than feeling welcomed, we frequently encountered a “no” instead of a “let’s make it work” attitude from staff. That said, the hydrotherapy circuit and spa were the highlights of our stay—both were absolutely wonderful. Overall, while there’s much to love, the experience fell short in key areas that could easily be improved

Amazing stay at Bancal! The hotel is huge, green, sustainable, the view of the Teide incredible and the service excellent (thanks to Charlie!). We ate at the buffet and the food was really good and the staff kind and professional. Overall, the quality/price is unbeatable and we really had a lovely stay.

Everything was amazing! I really love our stay here. It would be good to write in the descriptions what is included and what is not, because it is not clear. We had to pay extra for the spa, which was surprising for a spa resort. But everything else was more than wonderful - both the service and the attitude and the quality.

It’s a brand new property. Excellent staff. Ambiance is great. Should be a 5 Star property.

We were surprised that we had an issue where we had to leave very early ( 5.45am ) to catch the ferry to Tenerife and checked that we could get a takeaway breakfast as the restaurant would not be open at that time. On checking in, we mentioned our departure time and were told we would be ok getting a takeaway breakfast. However, the next day we went to the restaurant and it was closed. There was 1 staff member starting to get things prepared but she advised that they were not open until 7am. After going back to Reception to make them aware, they phoned down and got the restaurant to give us some coffee and cold pre prepared cheese and meats. This we appreciated but was not takeaway. Seems like communication in this newish Hotel not great.

A lovely new hotel in a stunning setting built to blend in with very imaginative architecture Our room was very comfortable with very good facilities The downside was that the bars had run out of tonic, our choice of wine was out of stock and even a large bottle of water was unavailable in the restaurant on the second night. This may seem nitpicking but it should not have happened The staff were all very attentive and the general facilities and pools first class

Great hotel in a good location. We had a Junior Suite and loved waking up to the view across to Mount Tiede on Tenerife. It was a very good base to explore the island which we fell in love with. A great holiday.

We had a lovely stay at the hotel, the rooms are large and balconies have a great view of El Teide. Buffet breakfast and dinner have an excellent selection of good food, and the service is generally very good with staff all very helpful and friendly. The pools were great too although it was slightly windy during our stay. The only issues were (1) we were told when we checked in that we had a free spa session, the man who checked us in double-checked and confirmed that. We booked the spa and it is an excellent experience. Unfortunately however, when we checked out we were charged for the spa session and when we explained that we'd been told on checking in that we had a free session the woman on the desk just said 'that was a mistake' and charged us the full price. This is not good enough for a 4 star hotel - if they tell you that you have a free spa session they should honour that even if it is a mistake, or at least give a discount due to their error. (2) we had a meal at the a-la carte restaurant and while the food was very good unfortunately the service was very poor: there was only two staff working front of house and they had to everything, including greeting and seating guests, making and serving drinks and serving and clearing food. This meant there was a huge delay after a while and new guests were left waiting for about 15 minutes at the entrance, while we had to wait about 30 minutes after finishing our main course before they asked if we wanted dessert.

Awesome facilities. You have to drive if you want to go to town as they don’t yet offer shuttle services ( they are working on it), but still pretty easy to get a taxi or drive your own rental car.

Es un establecimiento nuevo y decorado con muy buen gusto. La comida en desayuno y cenas está muy rica. La tranquilidad en las instalaciones es absoluta. Como aspectos a mejorar/tener en cuenta diría: - Wiffi y cobertura móvil bastante reducida. - Es una zona realmente ventosa. - Por la puerta de la terraza de nuestra habitación se colaban las rachas de viento, que generaban bastante ruido en la noche.

Magnífico hotel!!

Unterkunft war fantastisch, auch der Kaffee am Morgen war top. kann das Hotel nur empfehlen. Liegt etwas abseits und benötigt ein Mietauto.

Very nice, comfortable new hotel. Good breakfast. Location is not so good. Service is ok for a 4 star hotel (even the hotel could have been 5 star, it is not).

Nos ha encantado la estancia en este lugar. Nos ha sorprendido la ubicación, la limpieza, la arquitectura, el olor, los espacio, la exquisita atención del personal, la tranquilidad. Perfecto para desconectar.

Smukt og moderne

Hotel ziet er nieuw uit. Kamers ruim genoeg. Goed eten. Vriendelijk personeel. Prachtige verwarmde zwembaden. Mooi uitzicht op Tenerife. Ligt wel afgelegen van uitgaansmogelijkheden. Voor wandelaars prima gelegen. Shuttlebus naar San Sebastian (niet gratis). Absoluut een aanrader maar niet voor meerdere weken. Geweldige Belgische gastheer.

Das Essen könnte besser sein, aber sonst war's super im Hotel, wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

Ganz neues Hotel mit interessanter Architektur, freundlichem Service, vielen Pflanzen und sehr gutem Buffet. Schöne Pools mit Aussicht auf die Klippen. Kein Zugang zum Meer und zu weit weg zu Fuss von San Sebastian. Entweder braucht man ein Mietauto, Taxi oder bucht Ausflüge im Hotel.

Sehr moderne Anlage, hervorragendes Essen.
