The closest village is Las Indias with the town of Fuencaliente just a little further up the hill. Both centres can be easily accessed by car or the regular bus service but cannot be reached by foot safely due to the steep and winding hill. There are supermarkets at both Las Indias and Fuencaliente.
 The exterior of the hotel has a circular footpath, ideal for walking, running or jogging and provides a means to get out and about and enjoy the spectacular sea views without going too far.
From the hotel, the road to the right leads along banana plantations to the Fuencaliente lighthouse, incorporating a cove, black sand beach and volcanic area. The walk to the lighthouse takes approximately an hour and a half and there is a bus service available at certain times if you only want to walk one way.
The road to the left leads to La Zomora beach (approx 15 minute walk) where there is a simple bar / cafe located on the ocean front and an enclosed cove for swimming and sun-bathing although the path down is somewhat steep. The cafe is very basic but offers good views and a relaxing place to sit, eat and drink. You can continue walking along this road past banana plantations and volcanic areas until it ends abruptly and you will need to return the same way.

Our Reviews
We stayed at La Palma Princess through Thomson Holidays during February 2008. Find out what we saw, what we experienced and what we really thought about our stay.

The 625 room complex was constructed and opened in 2004 and is situated on the ocean in Fuencaliente, close to the southern tip of La Palma. 
The hotel has a number of restaurants and bars on site, all offering a good choice of food and drink and most with stunning views and very pleasant outside eating areas.
