Parador Canadas del Teide
The interior of the Parador of Canadas del Teide recreates the feeling of a cosy high mountain home both in the communal rooms and bedrooms. The Hotel has impressive panoramic views out over the Teide.
Tasting the exquisite and original Canary Island dishes at the Hotel restaurant is a true pleasure. 
Canary puchero stew, rabbit in salmorejo tomato sauce, papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes) and mojo sauce are just a few highlights.
The island of ‘eternal spring’ with its unbeatable climate offers great contrasts and many varied landscapes in different areas. The Parador is located at Las Canadas del Teide natural crater, over 2,000 metres above sea level, and invites guests to enjoy impressive panoramic views over the Teide peak, Chaorra crater and the Montana Blanca.
Hotel great, room very spacious, the separate seating area was nice but lighting a little dim. good location and views, great to go out when the mass of visitors had left. Food very good at dinner and breakfst, very generous portions with some good local touches. Staff excellent in the resturant and front of house. Been past this many times before but our first stay, would recommend it. Mid May is a good time as the weather is very pleasant and the area not too crowded.
Wouls have appreciateded knowing that the pool was still out of order!
We stayed in March 2010 for 4 nights in this Parador. We enjoyed it very much to start some wonderful hiking trails just infront of the house. The staff was always very helpful. Food and room were okay, the view to the Teide was great of course. We will come back once a year in April, hoping the summit then will not be closed!
Arrival: We did arrive from the airport Reina Sofia, we rented a car and did drive to the Parador from the south. Unfortunately the road was blocked at the last 4 km’s because of the haevy rain the week before. So we had to take another route, the road from the north. It did cost 3 hours more to arrive at the parador. It would be nice if we had being informed through the parador-management!
The bedroom was good, the view very nice, the restaurant good, the location very very nice and particular quiet!
Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Parador and would recommend it. It is a great starting point for walking in the national park and a real treat to be in the area after the day trippers leave.
The Parador was good value for money we thought and the food was very good and the drinks portions very generous! On the down side, the room was a little on the shabby side and the pool/gym very badly kept. Having to manage with one electronic key for the room and safe was challenging, especially in the dark!
We enjoyed every day of our stay at the parador. The swimming pool and the sauna not being working at the moment doesn’t really affect you at all. We shared the experience of having European cycling professionals in the hotel , cheerful guys and their coaches , lively atmosphere .We admired there huge portions of carbon hydrides , whilst we had our three course ( a la carte) , both parties enjoyed there meal .
Most relaxing in the evening: the huge fireplace in the lounge, (there is a second huge fireplace right inside the restaurant) .
We have stayed in various paradores (although not for some time), and this one did not really compare well with others – particularly with those in historic buildings. Also, it seemed more expensive that I remember (but perhaps because of the exchange rate)
In particular, the food was not up to the sort of standard we remember at, say, Carmona. However, the service was energetic and helpful (if not sophisticated)
The room was OK, though the lighting in it was poor. We had just one room key, and this was simultaneously needed to unlock the safe and put the lighting on – and, without the lighting on, you could not see to open the safe!
The view from the room was splendid
tWe have been visiting many paradors and thought this would be the same level, but it was not the same at all . It was a lot of dust everywere, and the poolearea was a shame.
In the blanket in our bedroom there were hair from the last visitor.
The food were exellent and the hotel were cosy.
Hope for the next guests you will clean up the house.

This Parador provides guests a unique opportunity to experience truly spectacular scenery long after the day visitors have departed.
Golden years promotion provided good value and the room had excellent view of Teide.
Pre-dinner drinks with our friends by the roaring was a cosy introduction to the evening.
Dinner was O.K however seated near a window the dining room was chilly in contrast with the lounge area.
A very enjoyable stay which we would happily recommend to others.
You cannot believe you are in the Canaries when you reach this warm, friendly Parador. The front desk was very helpful to us. The parador is located in a spectacular spot and there is great bird watching in the nearby public campgrounds. We were lodged very comfortably and happily. It’s great to enjoy the “Golden Years” promotion.
This was our 2nd stay at the Parador (the last was some 4 years ago) and it was just as good the 2nd time round – perhaps better as the facilities had been greatly improved. Such a shame that this time round the evening turned cloudy so the stars weren’t at their best! Wonderful location, warm welcome, excellent service and amazing cleanliness – this must be experienced!!!
We stayed at The Parador on Mount Teide during Valentine’s Weekend, for the second time, and thoroughly enjoyed everything. We even had the bonus of being there for Star-Gazing, which we enjoyed, except that it was so cold outside! We love the Parador, and certainly hope to stay there again. Delicious food, lovely warm rooms, excellent service.
What a wonderful experience to stay at this Parador. It is in a unique position in the crater of Teide and the landscape around is amazing. We were lucky enough to be snowed in whilst there but it was a comforting place to stay. Plenty of good food, log fires and efficient and friendly service meant we would have been happy to stay a little longer.
I had a great star at the Parador on Tenerife. The staff, the food, the accomodation, everything was great. However I am an amateur astronomer and I was told that I could make use of the telescopes on site, but when I asked at reception I was told no, Sometimes on Fridays only.
