 | Isla de la Gomera Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 13 |  |
Comfortable small, clean, modest 3 star hotel which I would think is like an "US 1-star hotel". It's nicely located on the seafront with catching views of the wild Atlantic Ocean, the black beach, banana fields, and the best: an AZ like landscape/rocks (backside of the hotel).
Installed signs saying "silencio" are very charateristic for that quiet island. There you can have bunches of Spanish, Germans, even Brits (in one dining room for example) and you hear no thienniest sound. But BIG silencio. No "Hey, how ya doin", "how is it goin" or any thing like that, a smallest greet with those kindest smile I'm used to when I'm stateside. But BIG silencio. Hm. However, staff & management are nice & helpful (and silent too of course).
Good food! Especially the various offers of dessert. Breakfast on the roof terrace with dawn in one's eyes, looking out over the Atlantic is most beautiful - (and silent too of course).
A lovely swimming pool & playground too is placed on the roof terrace.

 The pool, Hotel Tecina by maykal
It certainly wasn't cheap, but I imagine it has become more and more expensive as more facilities have been added.
The main attraction for me was the swimming - I had three huge pools to choose from. There were about 300 rooms, but because the hotel was so spread out, it didn't feel that big. The rooms were built like 'typical Canarian' houses, each with its own balcony or terrace, and dotted around the gardens. The gardens were also quite large, and the hotel has recently changed its name to 'Jardin Tecina'. As for sports, well there seemed to be just about every sport you can think of available: tennis, diving, table tennis, mini golf, squash (my first encounter with squash, and somehow we locked ourselves in the court for two hours, until someone eventually found us!!!), shooting, etc....
There were three restaurants, as well two bars, a snack bar, shops, an outside theatre and even the hotel's own tribe of cats! Theme: HotelComparison: more expensive than averageDirections: Playa de Santiago, the sunniest place on the island, on the south coast. The hotel was situated on a headland overlooking the small port, and connected to the town by a lift built inside the cliff.

 Hotel Tecina by maykal |
Great hotel and staff but the food is terrible. Reminded me of school dinners. Evening buffet was not freshly cooked, used only tinned vegetables and fruit and was pure stodge. Go B&B only if you must eat there as local restaurants are excellent and provide proper Gomeran food.
