Hotel El Tejar & Spa

Just finished a week here. A fabulous set up, fabulous genuine staff, incredible value , food is superb, cleanliness is super, nice early close up of public areas so no late drinking. These great people are ambassadors to the Canadian people. We shall spread the word.. Do not change anything...we love it..Ian and Sharon

Really nice hotel on a beautiful location. Great food and friendly staff. Breakfast has everything you would like. The dinner menu is delicious and has great vegetarian options. You’re high up in the mountains in no time and only a short drive to the beach. Recommend it to all!

We arrived hot and sweaty after 3 days walking the GR131, we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff. the hotel was spotless as was the spacious room. Vilaflor is a gem if you want to get away from from the hustle of Las Americas. The most amazing thing about the hotel was the delicious and well presented breakfast.

Our seven-night stay in Tenerife was unfortunately marred at times, by bad weather: Snow, low temperatures, torrential rainfall and dense mists - mainly at upper levels. The overall experience, however, was rescued by the comforts, cuisine and excellent hospitality of El Tejar hotel. The location was perfect for full exploration of the island, and excellent value for the price we paid. If we return to Tenerife we shall most definitely stay at this hotel again and recommend it for anyone who seeks a peaceful location away from crowded centres of tourism..

This is a small hotel at the lower end of Vilaflor. It has 14 rooms split between the ground floor and an upper floor. Check-in was easy enough and we were shown where our room was located, which was a decent size, a comfortable bed, and a good size bathroom, a desk plus two easy chairs. We had booked half board for our stay, and as we arrived early evening we headed straight for the restaurant. There were 8 tables set for dinner in the dining room, but it was rather chilly. There was a very good choice of starters, main courses and desserts, and the drinks prices were reasonable. We were really impressed with the choice and the quality of the food when it arrived, with all the dishes prepared from scratch by the chef. We had to wait a while as she was on her own, but that didn't matter, with some bread, wine and beer to keep us going. Breakfasts were equally as good, with everything brought to your table apart from coffee and juice, where you could help yourselves. Daily there was fruit, yoghurt, cheese & meat, rolls, toast & jam, plus a hot dish (fritata/scrambled eggs/omlette/fried egg) The breakfasts were similar but slightly different each day, and there was always more than you could eat, even for someone like myself with a good appetite. So all in all, a really good choice of accommodation in Vilaflor, and I would recommend it to anyone. There is also a comfortable lounge area close to reception, with some books to choose if you wish. As we were here in February the outdoor pool and sun loungers were not available to use, but there are some outdoor seats at the front of the hotel for when it is sunny and warm, as the front of the hotel catches the sun in the afternoon. There is also a private Spa, with a hot tub and sauna, which needs to be booked a day or two in advance, as it is popular. The cost is €30 for an hour's private session. We tried this early one evening after a long hike, along with some chilled Cava that we had pre-ordered. Throughout our stay all the staff very very courteous and professional in their service. An only very small criticism was that there was no heating turned on in the dining room, even though there were some radiators There was a small log fire which was lit at the start of dinner service each evening, but it didn't really throw out any heat, it was more for effect really. This being winter time with the outside temperature around 5-6c in early evening and morning, it would have felt that much more comfortable with a little background heating whilst having dinner, rather than having to eat dressed in your coat/jumper/scarf etc. as most people did.

This hotel is well located when you spend your day at Teide National Park. The hotel has an enjoyable spa and a great restaurant. Carlotta was extremely friendly and helpful. Excellent value for price! We were kind of disappointed by the village of Vilaflor as we were expecting something charming, but El Tejar made our stay an experience we did not regret!

Very nice staff and good sized bedroom. The breakfast was nice with good variety and choice The hotel also has a nice terrace with a very snall pool and serves dinner on request I would recommend this hotel

We are very fond of hiking in mountain areas and luckily we found el Tejar four or five years ago. Since then we always chech in for a week in January. With a healthy and nice breakfast the day in the mountain starts.

The room was very clean but there are no amenities. Zero. For a three night stay I had to ask many times for a clean dry towel. To get an ice cube took an act of god. It is a bit out of the way and the staff do the bare minimum. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Do not stay in room 12. It is next to the spa and when it is used sounds like a plane landing in your room. Good luck
