H10 Taburiente Playa, La Palma

Thankfully totally different to other Canary islands. NOT touristy NO high rises,NO loud music,NO idiots,NO restaurants trying to get you to go in. Much more laid back,quiet & relaxed. Stayed in Los Cancajos,(literally 10mins transfer to the great H10 hotel). Local bus takes you to Santa Cruz (or walk it 40mins) from there get the bus to the lovely Los Llanos. Won't suit everyone, (not a family holiday place) but we're going back to Los Cancajos again in Dec, as so fed up how commercialised & busy Tenerife had become..... really hope this doesn't happen to this lovely island

Perfect location 10 mins taxi from airport 10 mins to santa cruz. Check in and check out all good pleasant staff. Nice walkway close to the hotel which goes all the way to santa cruz Asked for a quiet room and was given one facing north of the island. Not the prettiest area but far reaching views of santa cruz. Half board, food plentiful, lots of different options and variety. Pool area spacious and never struggled to get a sunbed. Overall, excellent choice and perfect for exploring the islands.

A Truly Authentic and Wonderful Stay at H10 Taburiente Playa From the moment we arrived for our 14-night holiday, we felt a sense of calm and genuine cultural immersion at the H10 Taburiente Playa. As a UK family, we instantly appreciated being in the minority, surrounded by Spanish guests from the mainland and other Canary Islands. This created a truly authentic atmosphere that allowed us to feel like we were truly experiencing another culture, not just another tourist resort. The hotel served as a fantastic base camp for our young family to explore the stunning island of La Palma with our hire car. The staff's dedication and warmth were a consistent highlight of our trip. They are all incredibly hard-working, yet they always served with a smile, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We were particularly grateful for the exceptional service from Juan, Pedro, Daniel, David, and Yessica, who consistently went the extra mile to make our stay pleasant and memorable. Mealtime was a delight, with the delicious food and a wide variety of options. Even our picky small children were soon trying something new and delicious dailya testament to the quality and appeal of the menu. The hotel also kept us and the kids entertained with regular daytime activities, including pool foam parties and inflatable slides, which were a fun and welcome touch. Beyond the hotel, we explored some of the island's most beautiful spots. We were captivated by the breathtaking capital, Santa Cruz, and the amazing views from Mirador el Time. A day trip to the sea pools at Charco Azul was fabulous, and we found the facility at Volcán San Antonio to be an incredible way to learn about the island's volcanic history. A special and unexpected highlight for our football-mad son was the II TORNEO U19 BONITA Cantepro tournament. It was a fantastic experience to watch some amazing football and to have many of the players staying at our hotel. In all, we absolutely loved our holiday. We're already planning our return and now completely understand why La Palma is affectionately known as "Isla Bonita."

This was our very first visit to La Palma and the H10 Taburiente Playa, it did not disappoint. We appeared to be the only British couple there but the reception staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. Our room (double with sea view) was comfortable, clean, shower/bathroom perfect. Restaurant clean, friendly staff and a wide variety of food each day. Pool bar again clean and staff pleasant. Pool areas clean and had plenty of sunbeds not enough parasols though. The lobby bar was really nice and the barman was lovely and friendly, shame it was only open 8am until 12 noon. We would definitely return. Great value for money.
