Andrea Montgomery, DESTINATION EXPERT

Location

The hotel stands alongside Park Taoro above the resort of Puerto de la Cruz with sweeping views across the north west coast and the verdant valley to Mount Teide and the Tigaiga Mountains. It’s a 15 minute walk downhill into the resort, beaches, and to the Loro Parque shuttle bus.

Style and Character

Owned by the Talg family for three generations, Hotel Tigaiga is a stylish, welcoming and comfortable hotel, which works in harmony with the beauty and serenity of its surroundings. The interior décor blurs the barrier between inside and out through the extensive use of glass and the colour coordination of  furnishings, green for garden facing, blue for sea facing. There’s nothing state-of-the-art or wow about the style, it just works.

Service and Facilities

Friendly, informed and professional staff deliver exceptional service at every level of the hotel and display a genuine commitment to excellent customer service. The Tigaiga’s tour de force is its beautiful, botanic garden which has more palms than there are beds in the hotel, and where every specimen is recorded in a digital catalogue. Sun terraces and a heated swimming pool provide grandstand views, while massages and a sauna are available in a small room alongside.

Rooms

Rooms continue the theme of maximising light and reflecting nature, with a full-length window incorporating doors to the balcony; eggshell walls and curtains to reflect the light; apple green fitted carpets that extend out to the balcony in the form of AstroTurf; and behind the sliding mirror in the en-suite, a window in the partition wall so you can see the outside while you shower. Comfortable twin beds have duvets, and above them, a giant photographic print of a Tenerife landscape. Balconies have partial sea views and look out over Mount Teide or face onto Park Taoro.

Food and Drink

Breakfast and dinner are served in the conservatory style Jardín restaurant. Breakfast is buffet service with a comprehensive selection of fresh fruits and juice; cold and hot dishes, cereals, bread and pastry choices. Unusually, and delightfully, dinner is table service with a set menu including meat, fish and vegetarian choices. Food is tasty, well prepared and presented, and uses locally-sourced ingredients. The wine list is predominantly local. Alongside the garden, the Tinguaro à la carte restaurant is also open to the public.

I can’t be more grateful !

Along with me, Tigaiga clients who are already part of the history of this emblematic hotel and who from today also have their palm tree in this garden.

PS: The Talg tradition uses to put a coin every time a palm tree is planted, in an establishment where there are more palm trees than beds.

I have posted this in appreciation and today, I couldn’t stop thinking of someone who really liked plants.

Back in March, we were looking forward to celebrating the inaugural TUI GLOBAL HOTEL AWARDS with a ceremony in Berlin. Unfortunately, the decision was taken to cancel ITB Berlín 2020, and as a result we decided not to go ahead with our awards event.

Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact all of us in ways we could never have imagined. Despite these unprecedented circumstances, we re-started our TUI holidays to a range of destinations where travel restrictions were lifted, and we will continue to do so. The positive feedback we have received indicates that our customers are enjoying safe and happy holidays, and we will do our best to build on this in the weeks and months ahead.

We wrote to you in February 2020 to inform you that your hotel Hotel Tigaiga is amongst the Top 100 hotels, based on our customers feedback, and recognised as one of the most popular worldwide.

The current situation remains volatile and continues to be a challenge for all of us. However, we truly believe our customers will look to the strength of the TUI brand, and the quality hotels we offer when they choose their long-awaited holidays for the coming seasons.

It means visitors will no longer need to quarantine for 14 days on their return, changes apply to anyone arriving in the UK after 04:00 BST on Sunday, to citizens from England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

The Canary Islands are popular with winter holidaymakers, being one of the few parts of Europe warm enough for beach holidays at that time. Beyond having to fill in passenger locator forms, visitors to the Canaries currently face no restrictions to entry.

After so much doom and gloom, travel companies can suddenly see the sunshine. The Canaries are a key destination for UK airlines and tour operators.

The Canary Islands will become the first of the 17 autonomous communities in Spain to offer this kind of insurance for travellers, with among other will cover medical, quarantine and repatriation costs, if any tourist gets infected with the pandemic Coronavirus

The Tourism Ministry has clarified that one must not knowingly be aware of having Covid-19 before arrival. This is the only condition that will be followed by the ministry. A representative from Canary Islands Tourism and AXA Insurance has signed the agreement regarding the Atlantic archipelago’s latest decision.
