I took my fiancee for valentines day to this beautiful retreat in the hills of la gomera. The service was perfect from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. The food was impecable with a wide variety for all Try the "chicken kebabs" at lunch time in the principal restaurant!! The hotel was spotless and would definately recommend to anyone. It certainly earnt me some brownie points with the mrs for valentines day!! Great value for money.

First class hotel and service by Tour Company. Very enjoyable holiday for nifty adults who do not mind steps. Ideal for walkers as there are plenty of walks to enjoy the panoramic scenery.
Buffet style meals with plenty of choice. Tennis tournament organised for people to get to know each other. For people who enjoy a quiet, but active holiday. No nightclubs near so no danger of too much disturbing sleep.

This is my 4th visit to this superb hotel with my family including 2 small children. Staff are extremely helpful. Children are made to feel welcome. Food excellent.
Superior rooms excellent. Plenty for everyone to do. Most of all the garden setting and sea views make this a tranquil and relaxing place and just stepping out of your room makes you feel good.
I was very upset to see the bad review and cant match their description with my experience of this hotel.

There is no possible way that this hotel can get a less than perfect review. The staff are welcoming and if you have any problems there is always some one willing to help you. The rooms are cool and relaxing, the towel card system is simple and effective (and should be explained by your holiday rep when you arrive).
The food there is amazing and the manner in which the staff address you is friendly. I have holidayed there for the past 3 years and am going again this year. There is no where else in the world I would rather be, its pure heaven and when you return you feel as though you never left. You could never be bored there, those that gave the hotel a bad review obviously didn’t give the hotel and the island a chance to work its magic.
If I could, I would up and leave to be there on a permanent basis. This hotel is unable of getting a bad review which is justified.

I feel I should set the record straight since this hotel has had an undeserved poor review. We stayed for 7 nights and desperately wished we'd booked for 14. The hotel was very full while we were there, but we found the reception staff extremely helpful (although going to reception always involved a long wait). The towel system was clearly explained at check in and we were given our towel tickets then. Our superior room had a magnificent sea view, the sound of other guests was never a problem, and we didn't notice the air-conditioning either.
It was difficult to make reservations in two of the three restaurants where they were required, because the hotel only takes same-day bookings. The food in these restaurants didn't quite live up to expectations. However, we were happy with the food and service in the buffet restaurant - the trick is to avoid the busiest times, especially when families are eating.
Thomsons made it explicit that the hotel is unsuitable for people with walking difficulties, and it most definitely is - it is on so many levels that every journey involves climbing many steps, let alone the steps at both ends of the beach lift! Our main grouse was that the hotel allows guests to reserve sun loungers round the pool by leaving towels on them, and many get up before 8 a.m. to do so! We think this practice should be stopped - no body on a sun lounger, it's free for you to use!
