Wonderful Hiking Experience on La Gomera — traveler post in Gomera

Wonderful Hiking Experience on La Gomera

14 days of hiking on the island of La Gomera, discovering fantastic landscapes along varied trails with no major difficulties. We opted for self-guided hikes, allowing us to walk at our own pace while following our itinerary. The accommodations at each stage in the different villages of La Gomera were of high quality. It was a very enjoyable stay. Thanks to Audrey for her advice and the two hikes with her, where she explained the volcanic formation of the island and its diverse flora. If you love nature and hiking, 14 days with Audrey will be fulfilling. Don’t hesitate!

We thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful stay at Hotel Jardín Tecina from May 29 to June 1, and the experience couldn’t have been better. A special mention goes to the reception staff for their professionalism, kindness, and warmth. They were always ready to help with a smile, ensuring our stay was perfect from the very start. The restaurant and bar teams also deserve recognition for their excellent, attentive, and efficient service, making each meal and moment of relaxation even more enjoyable.

A Perfect Stay at Hotel Jardín Tecina

We had an absolutely enjoyable stay at Hotel Jardín Tecina. The entire property is beautifully maintained and stands out with its stunning location right above the sea. We were particularly impressed by the expansive gardens and breathtaking views. Our room was clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The staff was simply fantastic—always friendly, warm, attentive, and brimming with contagious positivity. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and thoroughly cared for. The food also left a great impression. Both the varied breakfast and the dinner buffet offered a wide selection and high quality. Only on weekends was the breakfast room occasionally crowded and noisy. For those seeking a quieter experience, we suggest dining earlier or later. Overall, Hotel Jardín Tecina is ideal for anyone looking for relaxation, a stunning environment, and exceptional service. We would happily return and highly recommend this hotel without hesitation.

Luxurious and Peaceful Stay with a Few Drawbacks — traveler post in Gomera

Luxurious and Peaceful Stay with a Few Drawbacks

The structure is massive yet designed with tiered rooms resembling terraces on a mountain, creating a peaceful and luxurious atmosphere. The room was spacious with a very comfortable bed, and everything was spotlessly clean. However, the open bathroom in the room lacked privacy. The soap/shampoo/conditioner system wasn't great—it took too long for minimal results. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, offering a fresh, varied, and complete selection. The pool areas were excellent—quiet with available loungers. Staff behavior was mixed, with some being friendly and welcoming while others seemed a bit arrogant. The restaurant entrance staff were very cheerful, and the cleaning staff were efficient. The location is somewhat isolated, so having a vehicle is necessary. It is a bit pricey, but worth indulging in once in a while!

Luxurious Hotel Stay Worth Every Recommendation — traveler post in Gomera

Luxurious Hotel Stay Worth Every Recommendation

A dreamlike vacation at an exceptionally luxurious hotel. The Bancal Hotel is relatively new, boasts a very luxurious design, and offers everything your heart could desire. The food is outstanding, with a wide variety of dishes available at both the breakfast and dinner buffets. Everything is delicious and prepared with care. The rooms are stunning and consistently clean. The entire property is impeccably maintained, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. We recommend the Bancal Hotel wholeheartedly and look forward to returning!

Feels Like a Five-Star Experience — traveler post in Gomera

Feels Like a Five-Star Experience

The hotel truly deserves a fifth star for the tranquility it offers, the attentive staff, the comfort of the rooms, the restaurants, the pools, leisure areas, and walking paths. It boasts various spaces beautifully decorated with exquisite taste, reflecting a strong commitment to the environment. The surrounding gardens, filled with many endemic Canarian plants, are impeccably maintained. We felt very comfortable and deeply appreciate the warm and close treatment we received. We will definitely return!

Unforgettable Experience in Garajonay — traveler post in Gomera

Unforgettable Experience in Garajonay

If you're visiting Gomera, this is an absolute must-see. You have to explore the trails to truly immerse yourself in a kind of nature that's rarely encountered. For me, the "Raso de Bruma" trail was the most spectacular. I walked it on a cloudy day, where the fog feels like a gentle mist and passing through the trees causes a moderate rainfall. The crunching trees, the lush greenery, the unique sounds, and the limited number of tourists make it an incredibly special route. We completed many other trails, but this one stood out as something truly extraordinary. The entire Garajonay is breathtaking. It’s the ultimate expression of nature; everything is well-maintained, with forest agents, firefighters, and other environmental personnel stationed everywhere to prevent disasters.

Hidden Ocean Pool: Sunset Beneath the Cliffs of Los Gigantes 🌊🌅 — traveler post in Gomera

Hidden Ocean Pool: Sunset Beneath the Cliffs of Los Gigantes 🌊🌅

Watching the sun drop behind 600-meter cliffs while floating in a calm, hidden ocean pool Tucked away in a quiet coastal corner near Los Gigantes lies Charco de Isla Cangrejo, one of Tenerife’s best-kept secrets. While most tourists head to crowded lookouts for golden hour, this natural ocean pool lets you experience sunset surrounded by raw volcanic beauty and crashing sea spray. Built into the dark basalt rock with a protective concrete wall, the pool fills naturally with tide water, creating a giant glassy mirror right at the edge of the roaring Atlantic. Floating in calm, clear water as the sky turns fiery orange behind the towering silhouette of the cliffs and the island of La Gomera is pure magic—and usually way less crowded than the main beach spots. 📍 Charco de Isla Cangrejo (Santiago del Teide), Tenerife, Spain 🇪🇸 💡 Pro-tip: Time your visit for mid-tide right before sunset! High tides can cause rough waves to crash over the wall, so always keep an eye on the ocean swell before jumping in. 🏊♂️✨ #myitinerary #thingstodo #travel #travel2026 #couplestrip #beachlife #naturalwonders #seascapes

Los Gigantes: Tenerife’s 600-Meter Wall of Rock 🌊⛰️ — traveler post in Gomera

Los Gigantes: Tenerife’s 600-Meter Wall of Rock 🌊⛰️

Nature really pulled out all the stops when shaping these colossal sea cliffs. Rising dramatically up to 600 meters straight out of the Atlantic Ocean, Acantilados de Los Gigantes on the western coast of Tenerife are nothing short of breathtaking. Ancient Guanche natives used to call them the "Wall of Hell"—and standing before these towering dark basalt walls, you can see why. While taking a boat tour to see them from the water is incredible, watching them from above hits totally different. The Mirador Archipenque gives you the ultimate panoramic view: giant cliffs plunging into deep blue waters, black sand beaches below, and the island of La Gomera sitting on the horizon. 📍 Los Gigantes & Mirador Archipenque, Tenerife, Spain 🇪🇸 💡 Pro-tip: Head up to Mirador Archipenque right before golden hour. Grab a cold drink at the lookout cafe, sit back, and watch the sun dip into the ocean behind the cliffs! 🍹🌅 #myitinerary #travel2026 #travel #couplestrip #beachlife #naturalwonders #thingstodo #familytravel #spain #tenerife

Siam Park

The price-performance ratio is very high. There are many kinds of water activities, both exciting and non-exciting. There is a self-service dining area in each small area, which is very convenient.

Torre del Conde

Torre del Conde is one of the Canary Islands’ most important example of military architecture. Its function was mainly a representation of the capital’s majestic power in the 1400s. Set in a lush subtropical park, the white and brown fort contrasts dramatically with the greenery around.
