Find the Cheap Guimar Hotels

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 !!

I will try to be as honest as possible with this hotel as I don't generally criticise if I can help it. We only stayed at the hotel for 3 days after a week's Marella cruise and as soon as we went in we were a little bit disappointed. Probably spoilt by the service on the cruise. The hotel is very tired and dated in places and has a lot of brown tiles. The reception area doesn't feel very welcoming and there's no feel of a 4 star hotel It just feels a bit bog standard. Decor in the rooms is very outdated. The bathroom was a mass of brown dated tiles. But it was clean. I know that a hotel star rating system works on the basis of the services it offers and not because of the decor. The main pool area was quite noisy and full of kids and felt like a Butlins holiday camp. There were split level sections which seemed nice and there were jacuzzis, so it quite a nice layout - just very busy and noisy. The dining side of things is quite a bit of hustle and bustle and can be very noisy in some parts of the restaurant area. We did find a quieter area. One negative is paper cups for drinks, rather than plastic. How can this be reasonable or even sustainable? Let's get positive. The staff are friendly and efficient. The adult only infinity pool was much more luxurious and inviting. It's a shame the rest of the hotel isn't up to the same sort of standard. During our stay we found the food was overall very enjoyable. There was a lot of choice, particularly plates of prawns, muscles, salmon, steak and lots of salad. As with most all-inclusive hotels the quality can vary and can sometimes be lukewarm, however there is a microwave if needed. Location was quiet remote, not much near the hotel. Some of the travel agents descriptions mention the black sand beaches nearby but they are a bit of a walk and have limited facilities. There's also no shops nearby so not much to do in the immediate vicinity. There is the boardwalk along the front but it's a 10 minute walk to get to it. I've been to all inclusive hotels before and they have been a better standard. If you like the value for money all inclusive aspect or are a family, then you might be quite happy but it does feel that the hotel needs a bit of a facelift in places. We did get used to the hotel but I'm probably glad we only had a few days there rather than a week.

Very good value for money. It is 20 km from the south airport. You must take bus 10 to San Isidro, then 111 to the Las Eras stop (don't forget to press the stop button ).then you calmly walk down to Las Eras. It is very small: a café on the square and two small supermarkets. The hotel is on the seaside. Very welcoming. Small rooms, but with sea view. Good mattress. , but beds a little rickety. sanitary facilities and showers in insufficient number. small swimming pool and pebble beach. very large living room kitchen where you can relax, in the fresh air and with a beautiful view of the sea. super equipped kitchen. breakfast very hearty (you can even make your own crepes). attentive staff of volunteers. free shuttle to San Isidro and El Medrano every day at 10 a.m. advice: take a short stay and if you like it, extend it!

If you like going for a walk from your hotel, then forget about this one!!! On top of a very steep hill with steep road going down and when you get down you are on a very narrow busy road with mostly no pavements and nothing nice to look at. When you want to get back up to the hotel, it's very hard work. Just don't bother. The hotel offers a shuttle service to the town centre, on weekdays, very limited on Saturdays and none on Sundays or holidays. On a good day, the last shuttle is about 5.45 back to the hotel. Then you are stuck unless you want to use taxis to and from the town. Puerto del la Cruz centre is about 3 miles down hill to the harbour. You will see it all in a couple hours!!! This area is very cloudy and about 10 degrees cooler than the other side of the island, like Los Christianos and Los Americas which are much more busier, sunnier, warmer and much more to do and see. I really recommend Puerto de La Cruz for just a day trip and no more!!! Because of the mountain range surrounding this area, all the clouds get traped over this area, which means it's much cooler, more cloudy, but more green. If you are looking for sun in Tenerife, then stay in the south of the island. The hotel itself is very dated, you have a small cooker and a sink in a corner with a few kitchen cabinets in dark wood!!! This is not shown in the room pictures!!!! The cooker is not connected, so if you want to use it, you have to hire utensils, pots and plates from the hotel and then they will turn it on!!! There is absolutely nothing in the kitchen, not even a spoon. There is no kettle or tea/coffee making facilities in the room. The hotel told us, hire a kettle for €4 a day, or upgrade your room to one with tea/coffee making facility for €48 a day!!! Reminds me of Ryan Air, the hotel is cheap, but everything is extra down to netflix!!! On the positive side, the rooms are quite large with a bedroom off the living area. Balcony is a good size too. The hotel is Affiliated to Melia, so don't expect customer service either!!! I won't be back!!!

Very successful stay at the hotel. Rooms very comfortable Service at the highest level Breakfast the best we have eaten so far in hotels, everything fresh, very good quality and beautifully served. Lunch in the hotel restaurant also good. Spa beautiful, massage good - although it lasted shorter than the purchased package, hairdresser also good. Subtracts a star for the bill at the end. I wasn't going to check, but I was thrown by an extra massage service in the spa that I didn't have. I do not know if it was done on purpose to pay more, but in a hotel like this it should not happen, especially since the signed bills did not include such a massage. Additional time unnecessarily spent at the reception. Distaste remains.

Booked a full board and food was up to expectations. However do note that drinks (alcohol, soft drinks and even water) are charged separately even under full board. The bed in the room was adequate and had a great unobstructed view of the coast.

Exceptional stay! The hotel offered impeccable service, luxurious amenities, and a prime location near major attractions. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and elegantly designed. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The breakfast buffet was a highlight with diverse options. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!
