Comments 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.

Information and reservations at Parador of Canadas del Teide
To be brief, it iis an excellent hotel. We had a big room, wonderful evening dinner for the one night we spent there. But best of all, the night sky is amazing with so little light pollution. We will stay again next year and bring good binoculars.
Perhaps the hotel could be better geared up for stargazers. Maybe it should offer binocular and small telescope hire?
Having visited Canadas del Teide many times during frequent stays in Tenerife we decided to spend a night in the parador this year (February) to get a better view of the stars. Unfortunately a full moon meant we didn’t see the stars as well as we hoped, but the view of the moon through binoculars was spectacular.
Any disappointment over the stars was outweighed by the joy of walking aound the Roque de Garcia at 8am, with the whole area to ourselves. Spectacular scenery, with just the birds to keep us company. Then back for a late breakfast – almost too late as most of the fruit had gone, but the waiter quickly produced a new batch for us.
A comfortable stay in a friendly hotel. We were surprised at the good range of food on the menu and had a very enjoyable evening meal. Very helpful staff, including guidance on where to see the best of the sunset – again a memorable experience seeing the sun setting into the clouds.
we stayed at the Parador for 4 nights in mid january, all we can say is: fantastic location, helpful and upermost friendly personal; still we appreciate very much the care of the desk manager (Teide) and the Bar manager(s) and other staff members who made our stay at the Canadas Parador memorable.
Our room was impeccable, clean, and big, although not with a view to the Teide; but with a view to the Alto de Guajara. (He, does not matter if you are anyway going up to the Teide and/or the Alto the Guajara). If you stay several days at this parador you might be able to inhale a bit of this unique environment
We will come back, hopefully soon
We have visited Tenerife in November and had a wonderful time. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The building is lovely, cosy, very “homey”, it’s great to sit by the huge fireplace with a bottle of vine. The room was clean and warm (at that time it was only 2C outside at night.) The food was also very good, we loved the Teide ice-cream, which looks like the mountain
. The hotel kindly let us use the telescope at night, so had an awesome time stargazing. We fell in love with the area, and will definitely go back again 
A wonderful welcome from a friendly face at reception. the Room was absolutely First Class and exceeded expectations as did the quality of the Food at Dinner and Breakfast. All in all a great stay in a unique location – wonderful.
The Parador is in a special place but there is something disfunctional about it. Service at the bar in the evenings is either non-existent or takes ages to arrive. We had a late flight and did not know if we would arrive before the restaurant closed hence snacked at the airport and wanted to top up with a snack before 10 pm but could not. Despite the best efforts of the reception staff they could not persuade anyone to serve us at the bar. On another evening it took a very long time to get anyone to serve us a drink at the bar. There is great reluctance to give guests at least a basic bar service.
After 2 weeks in Candeleria – El camino es la meta:
GRACIAS por todos in Parador de Canadas del Teide =Excellent Hotel!!
…starting at reception on arrival,room with wonderful view; location of
the hotel we visited near the hotel: Sendero 4 = Siete Canadas, Sendero
6: Portillo Montana Blanca , 1.3.; Sendero 3 + 23 < Pico Viejo 3134 m,
2.3.
Sendero 7 Alta Vista Pico Teide : in 3.270 Metern bietet die
Schutzhütte Refugio de Altavista dem müden Wanderer Schutz vor Wind und
Wetter. A GREAT Volcanic Experience!
Great location, restaurant a little too formal for me, but the staff were friendly and welcoming. Some disruption due to the ongoing building works, but didn’t affect the standard of accommodation. Disappointingly noisy at night, could hear the generator running when we had the bedroom window open. We did leave in the middle of the night when a child staying in the room next door started to scream its head off at midnight and two o’clock (for the second night in a row). However, the cafe serves the best cup of tea and Berlina on the island, so worth going back just for that!
This was our second stay at the Parador in Tenerife, so we knew what to expect. We got an upgraded room due to repairs going on, so we had the room at the top floor with unforgettable 180° views on the scenery. We had 5 days far from the noisy south with great walks in the surrounding canadas. One minus though: the cable to the top was not working, but this is only an extra reason to come back. Which we surely will do.
Hotel impressed us from all points of vew. Hospitality of personell, exellent food in a cosy restourant, comfortable rooms with great veiws. Nowere but here you can watch unbelievable starring night sky and fairytail mauntains when sundown. Place where you you feell yourself calm and free from wild world among God’s nature. We will come back next year with our children.
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.
