Banana Paradise

Banana Paradise Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Banana Paradise, you immediately get that “this is going to be good” feeling. The four-star property sits right on Camino de San Diego in La Orotava, and honestly, the setting alone is worth the trip. There’s something about the way this place nestled into the landscape that just works — it feels both polished and genuinely Canarian at the same time. The staff greets you with that perfect balance of professionalism and warmth that tells you they actually care about your stay.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s the thing about La Orotava — it’s one of those Tenerife gems that tourists often miss, but locals know it’s special. Banana Paradise capitalizes on this beautifully, giving you easy access to the historic town center while keeping you tucked away from the cruise ship crowds. The free private parking is actually a bigger deal than it sounds, especially if you’re planning to explore the island (which you absolutely should). Couples seem to get it — they’ve rated the location 9.0, and I can see why. You’re close enough to Puerto de la Cruz for beach days, but far enough up the valley to feel like you’re experiencing the real Canary Islands.

The Rooms

The accommodations here strike that sweet spot between comfort and character. My room had views that made me understand why they call this place Paradise — you’re looking out over banana plantations toward the coast, with Teide looming in the background. The decor feels thoughtfully local without being kitschy, and the beds are genuinely comfortable (not always a given in Spanish hotels, if we’re being honest). What I appreciated most was the attention to practical details — good lighting, plenty of outlets, and a bathroom that actually functions well.

Amenities & Atmosphere

The pool area becomes the heart of the hotel during the day, and it’s easy to see why guests end up spending hours there. It’s not massive, but it doesn’t need to be — the setting does all the heavy lifting. The restaurant serves solid Canarian dishes alongside international options, though I’d recommend venturing into La Orotava proper for dinner at least once. The hotel’s recent guests have been rating it 9.1 for location, and that high score reflects how well Banana Paradise positions you to experience both relaxation and exploration.

Why Guests Love It

What sets Banana Paradise apart is how it manages to feel both accessible and special. You’re not paying five-star prices, but you’re getting an experience that feels genuinely connected to Tenerife’s landscape and culture. The combination of that stellar location rating, the free parking, and the overall 8.9 guest rating tells the real story — this is a place that delivers on its promises without overselling itself. It’s particularly perfect for couples looking to explore beyond the typical resort experience while still having a comfortable, well-run base to return to each evening.

Hotels near me in Tenerife offer convenient access to natural wonders, where guests can easily reach volcanic beaches, Loro Parque, and world-renowned attractions in Spain’s largest Canary Island.

Reviews of Banana Paradise

• Monique from United States (9/10)

  The house was clean and had plenty of living and sleeping space for my family of 5 adults. The house is very private and a great location for a peaceful get away. The host sent an email everyday with suggestions for various activities and was very responsive when I had questions. I would highly recommend and would stay again.

• Jacques from France (9/10)

  Really pleasant house, very well located and quiet, in the middle of a banana plantation. Beautiful view of the ocean, the Teide …

• Pavel from Czech Republic (9/10)

  Great location, perfect quality of the place and the ocean views. The car was necessary to get there, but – to explore the island the car is needed anyway 😉

• Istvan from Ireland (9/10)

• Justina from Lithuania (9/10)

  Very nice place, very cute private house!

• Ema from Slovenia (9/10)

  We have booked this as 2 couples, and it was perfect, one bedroom downstairs, and one bedroom upstairs. The view is breathtaking and you can sleep in total silence. The security seems to be superb, but just be mindfull that other people have access to the plantation.
