This hotel is an old plantation house with modernised outbuildings. It looks great and has a fantastic position in the midst of a large banana plantation with attractive views of the mountains inland and the coast to the north and south. It has lots of facilities, tennis court, good swimming pool, lovely ornamental and crop growing gardens which you are... More

The hotel is within a fantastic historic group of buildings in a quiet location - it could be a great place! However, our first night was in a standard room (due to a mix up with our booking), which was quite small and the bed was not very comfortable. For the rest of our stay, we were in a superior...

As a family of 4, we stayed in two rooms in the main building. The bedrooms are characterful and clean with en-suites, and are adequate if not luxurious. But we don't want luxury, we want peace and quiet and something different and this the Patio delivers in many ways. The common areas are a mix of palm-shaded courtyards, grassy nooks... More

The El Patio is a nice cosy hotel in the middle of banana fields. A little bit outside of Guarachico, therefore you need absolutely a car. The rooms are good and the price service ratio is absolutely fair. They had a great cleaning staff. Unfortunately the service isn't so good. We had some special wish like a tennis teacher or... More

The hotel has a great location, beautiful garden and stunning views. We stayed in the annex building 500 m from the main hotel. The room had basic furniture but it was very clean (maid service every day) and rather spacious. The building is surrounded by a banana plantation so one can only hear the sea and banana leaves whispering in... More

We hate huge hotels and buffet meals in dining halls, so booked this place for 5 nights in October 2011. We were impressed by the location (the region is quite pretty, nearby Garachico is a gem, and getting to the valleys around Masca, or the beaches, Loro Parque and the pools in Puerto de la Cruz is easy on the...

Yes it was quite and yes the grounds are pretty but the rules reminded us of a boarding school. Towels changed every 3 days and don't leave them on the floor. No food and drink in the rooms, a shame as we had a large balcony/terrace and it would have been nice to sit here and have a glass of... More

We were not staying in the main part of the hotel, but in the annex 500 metres from the main buildings. The eight rooms in the annex were originally the banana plantation workers' accommodation. The room was fairly basic, but comfortable and clean and the maid service was good each day. The annex had a common room with kitchenette including... More

We stayed at El Patio in April 2011, booked at the last minute. It is very peaceful and the staff are helpful. They only provide dinner twice a week but the food was well cooked and tasty. The owner was very helpful in helping us to book a walking trip. The gardens are sublime. Pool could have been heated as... More
