A stay at Banana Garden is a very pleasant experience. The hotel is in an excellent location in the main city of Santa Cruz, just 15 minutes from the airport. Nearby, along the main beach, there are free parking spots marked with white lines. Breakfasts are very tasty and fresh. The hotel's exceptional dried bananas are particularly noteworthy. The rooms are small but modern, featuring a comfortable bed and a coffee set. There is a small balcony with a beautiful view of the ocean and the sunrise. The staff is very friendly. I highly recommend the hotel ! If I return to La Palma, I will definitely choose this hotel again.

The hotel is really quirky, the room looked exactly like the pictures. It's small, but has all you need. The bed and pillows are comfy, the whole room and bathroom was super clean. The water pressure in the shower is amazing! The staff all speak perfect English, are super friendly and helpful. We had breakfast on the last day as we had to leave early for the airport, they've got a great selection of cereals, meats, cheese, fruit, croissant, juice and coffee. They also have alternative milks like oat which is great! The location is fantastic, it's in the pedestrian area which is really pretty with all the old buildings. It's close to restaurants and cafes, but not noisy at night which is good! The curtains are blackout so it's nice and dark to sleep. There's no parking onsite but we used the recommended parking from their website which is ideal, it's underground, secure and within walking distance. Can't fault anything and would definitely recommend a stay here!

The hotel is very centrally located and smells great from the moment you walk in. The staff is very welcoming, nice and helpful. The breakfast has delicious fresh baked goods. The standard rooms are comfortable and nicely done, if a bit small. The best part must be the rooftop terrace, which is alone reason to stay here.

There is no air conditioning and the room gets unbearably hot without leaving the door open. The problem is that being in the centre, there are various noises at night that constantly woke us up. It is a bit annoying that you have to ask for cheese, cold cuts etc. instead of just being able to take what you would like. If you have a car be prepared to walk a ways from your car to the hotel since there are no parking spots near the hotel.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Banana Garden. Rooms are very cozy, modern, they were cleaned daily and were equiped with everything we needed for our stay. The breakfast was also very tasty, excellent coffee, freshly baked croissants, what more could you ask for? :) The staff was great, especially Sabrina, who gave us great recommendations which helped us discover the island. The hotel is small, and everything there was high quality with attention to detail. We prolonged our stay by 2 days, because we just did not want to leave. The rooftop has panorama view of the beach, which was beautiful.

We simply loved Banana Garden for its location, the amazing staff and the cosy atmosphere. The hotel is located at -what we found- a great spot in the middle of Santa Cruz. It is close to the beach (we could see and hear the sea from our balcony), and close to bars and restaurants while not being noisy. The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable; sharing many insights and tips about the island. We generally felt very well taken care of. The hotel felt personal and comfortable due to its small scale, dedication to local products, well-prepared breakfasts, and overall kind and relaxing atmosphere. The rooftop bar with its views was a fun extra space to enjoy. Many thanks!

We liked everything about our stay. We extended our stay several times and stayed for seven nights in total.

We checked in early around 11.30 which was no problem, we were able to store our luggage at a secure room in the hotel reception. The check in was smooth,the guy was very pleasant and informative .The room No 42 was lovely with sea views and also a view of the mountains. The kitchen was well equipped with a mini bar system which is a nice touch if required. Courtesy tea,coffee,sweets and crisps were also a nice touch. The rooftop terrace has stunning views with very comfortable seating areas. The breakfast was excellent. The staff were so attentive and easy going.

Everything was perfect

The place looks recently renovated. The room was very spacious and clean. It is central in the city. Friendly staff and good breakfast. The vibes in general are nice and the terrasse at the top floor is highly recommended!

We stayed the night between Friday and Saturday and it was very loud outside (people partying/yelling, there was even an alarm that was trigged) so it was not possible to catch sleep before 2 am, but this is probably normal since it is very central. Parking is quite far away and you need to pay.

We loved everything, warm welcome, clean room, support and help with any daft questions we asked. Fantastic breakfast choices and tasty cocktail menu. Short distance to beach, you can hear waves from hotel. Roof top terrace absolute treat. Coffee was gorgeous too and I’m not really a coffee drinker. Well done.

I couldn’t stay forever.

Upon check in you o notice they are well organized and follow all the requirements established by law such as registering ID and credit card and making you sign GDPR etc… everything is correct. I highly recommend checking in online in advance because the law changed in Spain and now it’s much more complex so if you do it before arrival it will save you time!

All good, will def come back

Great location in the centre of the town and a very pleasant, thoughtfully-equipped, room - modern fittings throughout. Helpful guidance by WhatsApp on what to expect, as we were arriving late. Well placed for the ferry.

To access the room, simply press a number on the keypad so the keypad lights up and then enter your code. (The instructions are rather unclear on this.) Parking - at the moment (2/24) there are roadworks and diversions in SC, some guidance on where to go might be helpful
