Hotel in zona Mirador de Tanajara, Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Overall, we would give this hotel 3 stars. The lobby is beautiful, the pool areas and gardens are too. The staff are without exception very friendly and welcoming. The location, about 1-1.5 miles from the centre of Puerto de la Cruz suited us and we like walking. The main negative is that although the food at breakfast and dinner is varied and plentiful, any hot food is mostly lukewarm. There seems to be some issue with the method of keeping the food hot as it’s all a buffet system. Other hotels seem to be able to keep food hot but here it isn’t which spoils it. The lighting in the dining room is also very bright and so in the evening it feels a bit like being in a canteen, not a restaurant. Our room, facing the garden was large, clean and had everything we needed although it’s surprising how dated it was, comparing it to the lobby and bar, it needs refurbishing. In contrast to the dining room, the lighting in here was very poor, no central light existed. We did have some trouble with the lift cards, as did many others and this does need rectifying. We also had an issue with the pre-payment special offer with drinks at dinner where we were given the wrong information by two staff members which resulted in our bill being higher than expected on departure although we were given a free drink in compensation. As the hotel only appeared to be maybe a third to half full, the guy who tried to put some evening entertainment on seemed to be fighting a losing battle and it was very quiet which wouldn’t suit everyone.

Extremely clean accommodation. The apartment has everything you need. The terrace is large, which in my opinion is extremely important. The staff is very friendly. It is really an accommodation to be recommended, especially considering the ratio between the price and the services provided.

Un hotel brillante. Molto pulito ovunque e camere temperate e spaziose. Una bella vista dal nostro balcone e con colazione. La cena era sorprendente e molti cucinati freschi davanti a voi per scegliere tra e le notti tematiche. Il bar superiore del tetto è bellissimo e la zona della piscina del tetto , così pulita e confortevole, molte bevande da scegliere con snacks e dolci che vengono con esso.A poca passeggiata dal centro , molte passi ma bene dopo poche interruzioni sulla strada verso l'alto . Abbiamo visitato il bagno dell'hotel, che è stato così rilassante e una grande esperienza per il prezzo che abbiamo pagato.

Bellissimo hotel dotato di ogni confort. Le camere sono ampie, molto pulite, dotate di TV, climatizzazione, frigobar e cassaforte. Colazione, pranzo e cena a buffet con una scelta a dir poco impressionante ed un’ottima qualità. Il personale è tutto molto disponibile, cortese ed educato. Non si può pretendere di meglio.

We stayed at the Finca Salamanca for 5 nights at the end of April to beginning of May on a Half Board basis. In my view this place is a real ”find”. Located about a mile from Guimar with plenty of car parking, but in a rural location. The tranquillity hits on you straight away and the staff are all very professional, bur friendly and helpful especially in the Restaurant. In fact the meals provided are a reason to return in themselves - Breakfast is a good buffet style, but the evening meal is full Waiter Service from a full and varied menu - I have eaten at all sorts of establishments all over the world and I cannot think of any where that the food would be better than here - unbelievable - the restaurant is open to the public although not that busy - food prices are quoted on the menu giving an indication of the value of the half board. The Finca is situated in extensive and attractive grounds with large areas of avocados and views of the mountains and the sea. There is a very pleasant heated swimming pool which is spotlessly clean and well maintained as is the whole Finca and grounds. Our room was clean and comfortable containing super king bed, flat screen TV, table and chairs, settee and coffee table, etc. Large Bathroom with complimentary toiletries, Shower, wash basin, WC, etc. Outside a terrace with Sunbeds, table and chairs. There are no coffee making facilities although a kettle will be supplied free of charge from Reception and tea / coffee are available near the Reception Area all day. There is a Room Safe for which a key is provided for a charge of 3 Euros a day - maybe this should be free. It would be wise to have a hire car - although Guimar is only about a mile away the walk is either uphill or downhill in both directions. The roads in Tenerife are very busy and parking everywhere you visit is not easy especially in towns which is a down side. However I strongly advise a visit to The Finca Salamanca - you will not regret it !!
