Parador de La Gomera

We have stayed in a few Paradores now and think that this has the most beautiful setting - overlooking the port of San Sebastián, it is a tranquil haven - classic architecture and sympathetically furnished, with a decent restaurant and lovely staff. The best place we stayed on La Gomera.

We were disappointed with service in the restaurant in particular. Mis-taken orders. Staff chatting with one another while holding a meal en route to a table. The Main dishes were just average. We enjoyed the fresh fruit at breakfast. I don’t believe that a coffee machine with decent coffee in each room ought to be too much to ask at the price level.

A wonderful heritage property. Nicely furnished. Lovely food. Lovely pool area. Comfy beds.

Just lovely - set up the mountain but worth the climb - walk down to the town which is perfect - great little bar across from the hotel and there’s just something about the hotel - it’s not the most luxurious or modern but it’s just done so nice. Will be back and the breakfast was lovely as well - highly recommended 👍👍

Nice room. Great pool. Breakfast and evening meal ok but overpriced. Very good service by excellent staff. Wi-Fi unreliable.

Disappointing.

Beautiful historic hotel with absolutely stunning views over Mount Teide on one side, and the beach / mountains on the other. The old furniture was very in-keeping with the architecture and it had been beautifully decorated for Christmas. The staff in the restaurant at breakfast and dinner were brilliant, though the same breakfast for a whole week got a bit repetitive - would have been nice to have had some more options or menu rotations. Dinner was amazing though. The food was lovely, and specials every day too. We ate there about 3 evenings and ate in town other evenings, and the hotel food was definitely some the best we ate on the whole holiday. The pool side is beautiful, and I had a massage one day, which was lovely (needs to be booked in advance). The hotel gardens were very pretty, with many different plants and cacti 🌵, and were very pleasant to stroll through. The location of the hotel right at the top of the cliff was fine for us, and a very good means of exercise to walk down to town and back up (phew! Leg muscles!) but for anyone with mobility issues, it might be a challenge. The Parador was a good base in San Sebastián to explore the rest of the island (the bus station is a 15 mins walk) and we’re glad we stayed there.

Lovely room with a view of the harbour. Extensive grounds. The hotel felt quite dark and oppressive. The restaurant served the worst food we had on the island . When we complained it was shrugged off with no acknowledgement. Very disappointed as our first stay in our parador but very much overpriced and underrated. Overpriced

The place is a bit worn down from its glory days, but still solid. The views are spectacular. Nice garden. Morning buffet 3,5 on this price range.

Wonderfull location overlooking the sea. Lovely room with a big bathroom and big bathtub. No kettle but we asked and one was brought to the room with cups & teabags. Booked a standard room but was given one with a patio door onto a small walkway and overlooking the sea and port. Nice outdoor pool. Lovely gardens and well looked after. A short walk to town and uphill on the way back! Had dinner in the restaurant which was very nice.

Just such a beautiful place, feels like Colón just passed by... Architecture and deco.... And the green is precious. For the comfort and service it's decent, nothing spectacular.

Absolutely fabulous hotel. Fabulous building and location. Great service. 🙏👍

Great views and beautiful garden. Huge bedrooms and bathrooms. Furniture a little tired and not enough power sockets in the right places for cha4ging phones and the like

A wonderful six days at La Gomera Parador. Everything we hoped for, lovely staff. A real pleasure to stay there. If you read any negative comments about the parking, just not true - was easy-peasy. Location, high up (about 70 mts) on a promontory, overlooking the port and the town was great - but the steepness did mean a 10 minute walk down the switchback hill and a 15 minute return uphill walk. Breakfast thoroughly recommended as is the swimming pool

What a fantastic Parador! Perched high on the cliffs above San Sebastian, this Parador descreetly commands a stonking view on 3 sides of the hotel, the swimming pool being on the edge. Fabulous. The staff were all lovely, attentive and efficient. The rooms were extremely clean with lots of sanitisation seals on high touch objects (remove control, clothes hangers etc). The decor of the place is really charming and tasteful. Lots of little books, crannies and Salons to loose yourself in a good book. Very romantic to boot. So don't hesitate.

No hot water in room on irst day. At enquiry àdvised NYE dinner woukd be 51 E each extra. Got there and found it was 80Euros extra each . Set menu No choices.

The only sad part was leaving...

Stunning setting, but staff generally either untrained or unhelpful. Excuses of referring problems"back to Madrid" was so frustrating. But what makes me very angry is ebookers disingenuous "free cancellation" until 00.01 on the stated day of cancellation - other buyers beware!!

First I'm grateful for the hotel for their generosity. The ferry from Tenerife to La Gomera was canceled the evening of my departure. I arrived a day late and they offered to charge a day less or stay an extra day. I stayed the extra day and had fun. The room is nice. The bathroom is renovated, so it's really clean, white and nicely equipped. The staff is very friendly both at the reception and in the restaurant/bar. Breakfast was OK, not more. The garden is beautiful and the pool really inviting. Overall it was a nice stay.

Warm friendly welcome from reception staff one of whom took us to our room and explained things about the Parador as we walked along. Lovely room with private small patio area outside overlooking the sea. Air conditioning and comfortable bed in a beautiful bedroom.
