Ghost pension?

La Gaviota was clean, nicely decorated, comfortable and very convenient for the beach, town and transport. In a 4-day stay, I never saw a member of staff after I was given my keys. On my first night, guests returning in the early hours were very noisy, and this went on for a long time. Also, someone tried my door - though probably a mistake. This becomes a problem when there's no owner/reception on-site presence. In future, as a solo traveller, I'd be happy to pay a few euros more for better security.

Vistas precioasas y buena ubicacion.

El sitio, calidad precio insuperable. Es básico pero el pueblo es muy acogedor y tiene la plaza en frente, en primera linea de mar. vistas maravillosas. Los colchones habría que cambiarlos ya que están hundidos y se sienten los muelles. Es una pequeña inversion que daria un 10 a esta pension.

C’è di meglio

Abbiamo prenotato la camera vista mare, ma da sulla piazza principale del paese che è rumorosissima, fino a notte fonda ci sono schiamazzi e la mattina presto iniziano a rimettere fuori i tavolini del bar di sotto e fanno un baccano infernale pure quelli del bar, oltre al fatto che sale l’odore di fritto fino al secondo piano. Insomma, se non si è di quelli che dormono tre ore a notte anche in vacanza meglio di no. Certo non è colpa loro ma comunque è un inferno. Visto il problema covid, non c’è reception e personale, ci hanno dato un codice per aprire la porta ma non funzionava allora abbiamo chiamato e sono venuti solo in un quarto d’ora. Alla fine tutti gli hotel del paesino sono sul lungomare.

Cerca de la playa escuchando las olas

Es una buena opción si se quiere pasar un par de dias cerca de la playa a un precio low cost. Eso también redunda en los servicios y comodidad que ofrece. Hay wifi, pero no TV ni opción a desayuno.

La Gomera Île magique

Une destination de rêve j’ai re découvert ce que les 5 sens veut dire. Le calme et des paysages a couper le soufle. Sans oublier le lever et le coucher du soleil spectaculaire!!! L’hostal très basique, propre. Prix raisonnable , wifi , pas de télé une chambre minuscule, rideaux de douche inapproprié.il sera souhaitable de mètre des parois de douche plus higuienique. Pas de prestations pdj ou autre. Nous prenions le pdj juste en bas. Prix corrects ne pas oublier d’aller prendre l’apéro au bar tout au but de la playe. Détente assuré. Heureusement le lever du soleil que ont peut apprécier depuis le lit.. est fantastique! Et cela permet d’être un peu moins regardant sur le confort.

Hotel in Strandnähe

Das Hotel liegt direkt an der Uferpromenade in unmittelbarer Umgebung zu Bars und Supermärkten. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber, auch das Bad. WiFi war überall sehr gut empfangbar. Das Zimmer war klein, was mich nicht störte, da sich das Leben eh vor dem Haus abspielte. Ich war für 3 Nächte zur Karnevalszeit dort
