El Cerrito

"Stayed here on the 13th March for 7 nights. What a beautiful place this is. Rooms spacious and spotless. Fully equipped with everything you need for a self-catering holiday. On checking in, we met Mirriam. What a lovely lady she couldn't do enough for us all the staff were wonderful. The apartments all have balconies and wonderful views. ElCerrito is 4km from the airport, 10 mins, and 8 euros. If you want a peaceful, beautiful relaxing holiday, this is the place for you. We will definitely return. A great big thank you to Mirriam and all the staff for helping make our holiday special x Kevin&Karen xx"

"My husband and I just returned from a wonderful holiday at the El Cerrito Apartments, in Los Cancajos,La Palma. What a fantastic place... its beautiful, it's spotless, it's in a fab location and the staff are friendly, professional and welcoming. A very special thank you to Mirriam who could not have been more friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for her and as hers was the first face we saw when we arrived we knew immediately we were in for a good stay. Our apartment was one bedroom but it was a very good size. Large living area dining space and kitchen. Large bedroom, large bed and a sea view. The balcony was huge with table and chairs and a pool view. We had such a good time we were reluctant to leave and will definitely return. It's just 4 km from the airport... a £8 taxi ride - so don't pay travel agent's airport transfer prices (£70)!! The wonderful main town of Santa Cruz La Palma is just a 6k bus ride away at £1.50 each way. We highly recommend the El Cerrito Apartments if you are lucky enough to be visiting the Isla Bonita of the Canaries."

"My partner and I spent a week at El Cerrito over Christmas. It was a last-minute choice but we really enjoyed our time there. As other reviewers have mentioned, the decor is a little old, but everything was absolutely spotless. Our apartment was far larger than we expected, and well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare basic meals, and we appreciated the extra touches, such as the blackout curtain in the bedroom. The complex is far enough from the main road for a very good night's sleep and, although we were there out of peak season, at a quiet time, we really didn't hear much noise from the other apartments. We didn't have much to do with the staff but they were always friendly and would no doubt have been happy to help, should we have needed anything. The gardens were beautiful and the pool looked clean (we didn't venture in, although it was warm enough to swim in the sea). El Cerrito is five minutes' walk from a Spar, and there are also two small local supermarkets just a little further away. There is a pharmacy nearby, and several restaurants. It's a 10 minute walk to the beach, which is very clean, with sun-loungers for hire. Bus stops for the bus to the airport or to Santa Cruz are a five minute walk away. Los Cancajos is a very easy place to have a relaxing holiday. It is very low-key and we found that El Cerrito really offered everything we needed to just kick back and recover from a busy year. The hotel is quite close to the airport (as is the case with all of the accommodation in Los Cancajos), so there is some noise from planes, but it is not a busy airport. The first flight is after 8 in the morning and the last after 9 at night, so this really wasn't a problem for us."
