El Time, Tijarafe Overview
El Time is located in Tijarafe, Spain. Rated 9.7 out of 10 based on 21 guest reviews.
El Time is a standout stay in Tijarafe, Spain, set on Camino Medel, 3 in La Punta–La Costa, where the pace is slower and the views feel part of the day. Guests consistently rate it highly, with a 9.7 score from 21 reviews, and many mention how comfortable the air-conditioned interior feels after time in the sun. The layout suits travellers who want privacy and flexibility: you can unwind outdoors on the terrace, cook outdoors using the BBQ facilities, or switch to indoor downtime with a non-smoking environment and practical comforts.
The appeal is as much about recovery as it is about sightseeing. After a day driving the island roads, the hot tub/Jacuzzi is a frequent highlight, while the swimming pool gives you an easy option for a quick reset without leaving the property. For lighter entertainment, there’s table tennis on-site, which works well when the weather turns or when families want something simple between meals.
In terms of location, Tijarafe is a natural base for exploring the north-west of La Palma. You’re within reach of Mirador de La Tosca (around 9 km), Playa de Puerto Espíndola (about 14 km), and higher viewpoints near Roque de los Muchachos (roughly 26 km), making it practical for both coastal breaks and mountain air. Free parking helps if you’re road-tripping, and children are welcome, which makes El Time a strong fit for families and groups who prefer self-directed days. Couples also like the quiet, with the terrace and hot tub creating a calm rhythm that doesn’t depend on restaurant schedules.

Should You Book El Time?
Worth booking if you want a high-comfort base in Tijarafe with standout guest satisfaction. The 9.7/10 rating from 21 reviews and the combination of air conditioning, pool, and hot tub/Jacuzzi make it a strong value-for-comfort choice.
Best For
- Couples seeking a calm, scenic stay in the Tijarafe area, where slower pacing and views are a big part of the appeal
- Travelers who prioritize comfort in warm weather, since air conditioning is specifically noted as a welcome relief
- Guests who like relaxing on-site with amenities like a swimming pool, terrace, and hot tub/Jacuzzi
- Active sightseers who want a base for day trips to viewpoints and attractions such as Mirador de La Tosca, Cueva de los Verdes, and Roque de los Muchachos
Not Ideal For
- Guests who need very late check-in, since check-in is only available until 08:00 PM
- Travelers expecting fully walkable dining options right outside the door, since the nearby restaurants listed are local and may require short drives
- Solo travelers or groups who want guaranteed on-site parking, since parking is free but described as offsite/discounted rates rather than explicitly on the property
What to Expect
Check in is straightforward within the 01:00 PM to 08:00 PM window, and once you’re settled the stay feels designed for downtime. The Tijarafe area is slower and view-led, so mornings and evenings tend to feel unhurried rather than rushed. After exploring nearby viewpoints and day-trip spots like Mirador de La Tosca or Cueva de los Verdes, guests consistently highlight how comfortable the air-conditioned interior feels. Reviews also point to a relaxing rhythm with pool and terrace time, plus the option to unwind in the hot tub/Jacuzzi.
