Bancal Hotel & Spa

Lovely hotel. Well managed and maintained with all the facilities available. A little way out of town, so a car is recommended for at least part of your stay, particularly to enjoy the beautiful island properly. Architecturally fascinating complex with sustainable credentials, which appealed to me.

Spacious grounds, lots of pools. Delicious food! Large rooms, although I booked the most basic one. The staff is very friendly. I will definitely be back!

The Hotel is an experience in it self. The architecture is amazing and a modern take on the terracing and stone walls of la Gomera. Every detail is though trough. Good beds, clean, good service and all areas are inviting. It´s relaxing and spacious. The gym is a small, but pool area is great and no fighting over chairs.... Food is good. Recommend hiring a car and drive over the Island. Hiking is the thing here.

We are currently staying at this hotel for a week at end of March. The weather has been about 20C and sunny but windy. The swimming pools are lovely, top one is heated and fine to use temp wise as long as swimming and not very windy. Plenty of seating and bar can get drinks. Pool towels free just exchange for token. Open 10am to 6pm. Pool has views to á snowy mount Teide. Food have half board and excellent quality and variety, well worth it, friendly staff in restaurant. We found coffee fine. Drinks are extra including water. You have a chargeable mini bar in room and 1 free water on arrival which bottle is taken. Rooms are nice but very cold 16C so having to wear winter clothes to not freeze at times. Temp control in room does not help. Very thin sheets. Towels and linens only washed if put them in right placé but as long as remember it’s ok. Only bar soap so we are using our own. Shampoo, shower gel and conditioner in shower. Shower is good. Toilet and shower are just frosted glass so not great for privacy. Là Gomera is very traditional. Weather too windy for sea swimming. National park closed day we went. Went kayaking and dolphin boat trip. Ci car hired fiat 500 cabriolet useful to have car. Got our board basis wrong on arrival. Occasional barking dog but otherwise quiet. Spa good 25 euros á time, not 15 euros as on website.

This is a fabulous hotel and I highly recommend it. The rooms are large and very well appointed, and the views across to Mount Teide are great. There are extensive gardens and three pools with lots of space to chill in. The highlight is the food which is excellent. I see a few concerns in other reviews but we are here every night and the quality and presentation of the food are sensational. It is a new concept even - cordon bleu food and you can help yourself. The staff have been very charming and a special shout out to Sofia who led us in yoga and later did a garden tour.
