The location

Meals are basic

the place, it’s beautiful

the breakfast

The staff at breakfast and dinner were attentive and the pool was very good. As we did not use the spa facilities its difficult to give a balanced review as it's a spa hotel.

No fault of the hotel but it's a little isolated there.

The location and the installations in the hotel were beyond our expectations. The views are truly wonderful, the pool big enough to have a proper swim and never too busy. We did not make use of the spa treatments , so can´t comment here. Rooms are spacious and well appointed for a 3* hotel. Good bathroom , shower pressure etc( this is important to us). However we did not sleep well as the room was either very hot or very cold (with aircon) or noisy with the windows open (we had room 204 with a motor running just below the window). To be fair we did not complain since the hotel was full. Breakfast was really good , especially the fruit , which was always just right for eating( often we find the fruit at hotels to be brick hard) with locally produced pineapples to die for! Evening meals not so good; choices were really healthy but the quality of meat was a bit of a disappointment and fish of the spiny varieties.

The evening meals as mentioned above with the addition that the wine list is quite limited and no white wine other than fruity. Really nothing else was less than we could have wished. We couldn´t get a sea view as the hotel was very busy. I would recommend this if you can make an early booking. Also there was very poor telephone coverage although wifi was fine.

So rural in the very heart of El Hierro.

Views

The evening menu was rather limited and didn't change for the second night

Tranquility.

Beds are too old and so is the décor. Dinner is average.
