Las Olas

"I loved this hotel. It’s very quiet, clean and I had the most amazing view from my room (320). The balcony is huge (more a terrace) with sun beds and table & chairs. The room was cleaned daily and although a little dated had everything I needed. I stayed on a half board basis and in honesty it lacked. The food served was lukewarm at best and variety was limited but I found something most days. The staff here are a credit to the hotel. They are kind, professional and always willing to help. Overall I have loved my stay here and would not hesitate to return. If you are looking for a good three star accommodation in La Palma that’s relaxed, quiet, clean and friendly then this is the place for you."

"We had a lovely stay at the hotel, it has a very relaxed feel to it. Hanging out by the pool was really pleasant something I've often found a challenge in other hotels. The beach wasn't too far away, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes nearby. A 10 minute bus ride to Santa Cruz which was well worth a visit. Even the incoming and outgoing planes added excitement and didn't bother us too much. I'd been a bit worried about being so close to the airport. I loved the view and watching huge cruise ships arriving in Santa Cruz Puerto every few days. Overall a really relaxing holiday, just what we wanted and needed. Already on arrival at the airport you could sense the chilled atmosphere of the island. Food at the hotel was more on the simple side but good. We asked reception for a coffee maker and additional coat hangers when we arrived and these were delivered to our apartment within the hour. A cockerel outside our apartment loudly announced sunrise at 7.15am every day, going on for about half an hour, no sleep possible after that, it was as entertaining as it was relentless. Would definitely go back to the hotel. We had paid extra for the seaview and it was well worth it."

"Definitely not a 4 star. Misleading to say every room has a terrace or balcony and the pictures are misleading. We were given a room in the block across the road. There was no balcony and the room faced a large hill which was oppressive. There was road noise and the room needed serious work to get it up to even a three star. There was no heating or air conditioning and all the pools were freezing. We asked at reception for a room with a terrace or balcony and were told they only had one room available and that we wouldn’t like it. We viewed it and although it was in the basement and it as bad a condition as the first one, it had a terrace and was on the main site of the hotel so we took it. The hot breakfast food was cold although there was a good choice. Good points, the staff at breakfast were very friendly, there are restaurants and a supermarket within walking distance and there is a bus stop close by to Santa Cruz."
