La Palma, more than beautiful - One day was insufficient to see something of the Palm, an excellent guide, Roxi, good weather and taken full advantage, we will return, we are left wanting, but one day does not give for more than what we did that was much and taken advantage of

In two words: shocking and overwhelming - Everything around is black lava that reaches the sea. In my review is a must to go to La Palma and feel the volcano from there. You can't explain it in words, you have to live it.

Lovely holiday in La Palma - I booked a 14 night through First Choice part of the Tui Group. I flew from Manchester Airport where I was looked after extremely well . On arrival I had a transfer to the 4 star hotel Las Olas 10 to 15 minutes from the hotel. Although there was some air traffic being January there was less than at other times of the year not that I had a problem.
The hotel was rated 3 star plus which I think was right. I would recommend to pay a little extra and have a sea view room. I was fortunate to have room on the 2nd floor (English 1st floor) and I took my case up the incline to my room. I don’t think the hotel had any porters. I noticed people struggling to get their cases up the steps to the next floor. It is quite steep and might be an issue for someone with walking difficulties.
My accommodation was large with a kitchen and l had a beautiful view of the pool area and the sea. The vast majority of clients were 60 plus and I estimated around 80 % German . Pleasant outside area 2 adult pools one slightly heated and a children’s pool.
Bar and restaurant were okay. Food I found to be average and not hot. The island is fantastic and Santa Cruz the capital quite beautiful.Beaches are black sand and the first one 15 minutes walk from the hotel. Close to the hotel are a couple of supermarkets and restaurants and bars

Impressive tour with great guide - The confirmation mentioned 2 meeting points, which was very confusing and annoying. 1st point we were well in time, but no one saw a guide at that time. Then ran to other point (10 min further) no one either. Eventually 2 x have to call to contact and time passed. Had to go to 1st point again.
At lunch there was only a choice of fish or pork. No alternative without paying extra.
Furthermore fantastic and impressive tour with committed and experienced guide! Very good!

Lovely tour - Lovely tour showing Santa Cruz from high above and then around lava fields and southern part of the island. Tour had two starting points harbour and the city. Different starting time should be informed to the city. Now there was useless half an hour waiting time in the city for no reason.

The tour guide did a... - The tour guide did a great job due to the various languages on the tour, but felt it would have been a more personal tour if a smaller bus with less passengers, therefore less languages. Also, felt quite it was quite expensive.

It is difficult to evaluate an excursion that has not taken place. I'm upset because they haven't given me a refund. - It didn't happen and I'm waiting for a refund. They called me 24 hours before to reschedule, but it was not possible due to my flights.
