La Palma Princess

Lots of good things about the hotel - after a couple of minor issues with our room we were upgraded to a sea view room (lovely). Food can be a bit hit and miss although more hit than miss. Breakfasts have a good selection of fresh fruits, breads are ok (lots of rolls and sometimes only margarine sometimes butter) always plenty of olive oil. Themed food evenings are hmm uninspiring although I always found a plate of food I was happy with bar one evening out of 14 days. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere but is huge with over 438 rooms across 7 buildings. Pools are plentiful only one heated. Spa is very good with the hottest Turkish bath I ever had, excellent sauna and deep plunge ice pool lots of other features - a one hour session in the spa is enough imo. Massages (optional extra) available from €60 to €120. Unless you’re content to stay in the grounds there are local buses to Fuencaliente ( the nearest small town that has a Spar mini supermarket ) - I prefer to hire a car. The town Los Llanos is a 45 minute drive up the west coast and had many shops and a mini Shopping Centre. The hotel is very clean on the whole with a good room cleaning service. Give it a go it’s a beautiful island. If this has helped please like and follow and I will follow you back - have a lovely day.

Beautiful grounds, very comfortable rooms with everything you need. Extremely friendly staff everywhere. Hotel grounds very well kept, beautiful plants, if something gets broken it’s fixed in minutes! Attentive staff at the poolside. Helpful reception staff. In restaurant plenty of choices, fresh fruits, salads, cakes. Very friendly waiters. Amazing animation team kept our kids entertained but adults as well. Great Lion king performance!!! and new year’s eve. We’ve enjoyed evening concerts and bingo nights! Not to mention your pianist who made the lobby so relaxing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Great pools with beautiful views. We’ve had a great experience and would love to come back. Would recommend to hire a car for sightseeing but there is an option to hire in hotel but very limited. Well equipped gym with classes.

In a remote area of the island but a lovely hotel,well laid out ,but not for those who have mobility issues as it has lots of different levels and steep inclines. Rooms are well laid out with plenty of storage,very clean and spacious.Nice varied food choices with several restaurants available.Games room,nightly entertainment,small shop and excursion shop onsite to enhance your holiday.Staff were very friendly and efficient, but the best bit was our adults only section,which meant we never had to scramble or save sun beds or feel over crowded. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely return.

Some previous reviews are a bit misleading. Generally an excellent hotel with very attentive staff. The food is far from repetitive, the food is always varied with something for all tastes. Ok the AI drinks are acceptable, as stated they are not premium brands but ok. With regard to drinks being served in plastic glasses & paper cups. If you go to concerts, sporting events and festivals drinks are served in plastic & paper, so what’s the problem. After all we don’t want broken glass everywhere? The pool area is in the process of having cracked tiles replaced, an ongoing job as the hotel is always open. Plenty of sun loungers & space around the pools. Check in is carried out as quick as they can, given the numbers of people. The rooms are spacious & well presented. The house keeping is very good. I did agree with previous comments. Some of towels could do with being replaced. Nice bathrooms. There are steps & slopes as mentioned, saves going to the gym.

Lovely holiday. We had an amazing week. It was full of activities for everyone and the staff were great. Mickey and Jeorge were great fun and made us feel at home. |We did darts, archery, shuffle board, poker, bingo, karaoke, pool. It was full of fun. The room was clean and spacious, everything we needed, including a mini fridge and sofa. |The all inclusive drinks and food were good each day and plenty of refill stations around. I took a bottle to fill with water which was worth doing. Plastic cups round the pool for pop and beer, all self serve. We would definitely go again. |Not too much to do outside the resort on the island. The volcano tour was good and the few towns we saw have some shops and coffee shops. |Being December it was quiet, no disruption in the rooms and bars were nice.

This was our sixth visit to this beautiful hotel, this being the second time this year.||||Being returning guests, we had a lovely room. The rooms are very large typical Spanish design, nice bathroom with bath and walk in shower. Some reviews have mentioned that the rooms are dated, however, they are in my opinion, charming. Also, a very nice gesture was pool towels and dressing gowns left in the room for us and a complimentary bottle of wine, along with a lovely welcome note. ||||The hotel has stunning gardens with lovely interconnecting pools. The gardens are all kept immaculate by the friendly gardeners. ||We have visited many beautiful five star hotels abroad but La Palma Princess has the most stunning grounds, lovely flowers are everywhere.||||Our only criticism was concerning the evening entertainment schedule where a superbly talented pianist, Flávio, who was playing in the piano bar was drowned out by thundering disco music from the main entertainment room. Many people, including ourselves were extremely disappointed with the disruption.||||My husband is a saxophonist and had his small electrical saxophone with him on this visit. We have met Flávio from the entertainment team on a previous visit. As mentioned, Flávio is one of the resident pianists in the piano bar and he asked my husband to guest with him one evening, playing a number of tunes, which was very enjoyable and Flávio is a superb pianist.||||We had breakfast in El Mirador and lunch also. The restaurant is kept clean and tidy, which is difficult with all the guests. The omelettes in the morning are delicious. This restaurant is lovely overlooking the ocean. We had our evening meal in the Food Market, the food here is superb, always plenty to choose from. The main restaurant is a beautiful place and the decor is lovely. There are many different areas to dine, our favourite being the outside terrace. The staff were friendly, courteous and polite and a couple of the managers always found time to chat with us even shaking my husband’s hand on a couple of occasions.||||Compliments to the animation team as there are a number of different events that guests could take part in. This is good way to meet new people of different nationalities.||||We had a wonderful holiday and look forward to our seventh visit.||||Thanks to all the staff for making our holiday so memorable.

We have visited a number of Princess hotels throughout the Canary Islands and La Palma Princess is by far our favourite. The room are spacious, clean and well kept. Public areas and the bar areas are clean and spacious, evening entertainment is good with something for everyone. The main restaurant is well organised with a good selection of food. The Ocean bar and restaurant has a good selection of rinks and snacks. All the pools are clean and well maintained, no need to put your towels out as there are plenty of sun beds. The gardens outdoor areas are well kept, just one point if you have mobility issues there are a lot of steps.|Special mention to the animation team for the interpretation of `The Greatest Showman`, very professional show, well done to you all.|Overall a fantastic hotel and we are planning to return next year

I would have loved to give the hotel 4 stars, as some parts are really great, but I have to be honest. The hotel needs refurbishing, they are doing a bit of maintenance at the moment so hopefully there is a plan to upgrade a lot. The setting and pools are beautiful and the gardens are exceptional. The food was also very good. I liked the arrangement to queue and be seated, as a solo traveller, I never had my seat taken when I went to get more food and drink. I found the staff all to be friendly and efficient. Now, the not so good points. The whole complex needs a good deep clean, or new furniture. The sunbeds and tables are pretty old, as was the balcony furniture. There were quite a few cockroches around. The bathrooms although spacious with a separate bath and shower were decorated in a 1980's style, the products were also not of a good standard, better lighting in the bathroom was also needed. I did enjoy my time here, it's great for a relaxing break.
