El Manso, Tijarafe Overview
El Manso is a calm, family-friendly base in Tijarafe, Spain, set along Camino El Aserradero,6 where the pace slows fast once you arrive. Guests tend to describe the stay as straightforward and restful, with non-smoking rooms and a property-wide non-smoking policy that suits travelers who want cleaner air and fewer distractions. The air conditioning is a practical help for warmer days, and the hotel’s free wired internet is the kind of dependable detail that makes it easier to plan hikes or check in with family.
The outdoor setup is where El Manso really shows its character. Many visitors mention making use of the swimming pool for an afternoon reset, and the BBQ facilities are frequently cited as a simple way to keep evenings relaxed without needing to drive back out. For road-trip travelers, the free parking is a standout, and the option for discounted offsite parking can make longer stays feel less complicated.
In terms of the surrounding area, you can reach Playa de Tijarafe in about 2 km, making it easy to pair a beach morning with pool time later. Caldera de Taburiente National Park is roughly 10 km away for dramatic walking routes and viewpoints, and travelers often plan day trips there before returning for a quiet night at the hotel. Reviews also commonly note that rooms are disinfected between stays, which adds reassurance for guests traveling with children.
El Manso is best for families and couples who prefer a peaceful, car-friendly base rather than a busy town center, and who want outdoor time—pool, BBQ, and nearby nature—built into the itinerary.
