SAN SEBASTIÁN DE LA GOMERA, 5 December (EUROPA PRESS) –

Fred Olsen will relaunch the Hotel Jardín Tecina in La Gomera this Friday, 6 December, following a comprehensive refurbishment involving an investment of 20 million euros, as stated by the company’s general director, Andrés Marín, during an interview with Europa Press.

Marín has emphasised the reopening as a “significant milestone” for Fred Olsen and all those involved in the project, noting that this investment has enabled a “thorough enhancement of the facilities.”

“We have adjusted the number of rooms, reducing the total from 434 to 424, while increasing the number of ‘junior suite’ units to cater to rising demand from our guests,” he elaborated.

FROM 0 TO 90% OCCUPANCY IN TWO DAYS

Consequently, the hotel will welcome guests with an occupancy rate of 90%, featuring 600 arrivals on Friday, 6 December, plus 150 on Saturday and another 150 on Sunday. “We are set to shift from 0% occupancy to nearly 90% within just two days,” Marín celebrated.

The general director of Fred Olsen has highlighted that throughout the renovation, staff remained engaged, utilising this time to provide training sessions in essential areas such as customer service, new technologies, and sustainability.

Marín has underscored that enhancing quality has been a top priority of the renovation: “We have added new services to enrich our guests’ experience, such as the Pura Vida by Jardín Tecina area, exclusively for adults, and an aquatic zone ‘Laurus’ for children.”

Additionally, innovations have been made in common areas, swimming pools, meeting rooms, and dining venues, including a culinary offer featuring organic and seasonal produce from the Eco Finca Tecina.

INCREASED COMPETITION IN LA GOMERA IS “HEALTHY”

When asked about the recent launch of additional hotel projects on the island, Marín remarked that “this is beneficial for the destination, as it helps to enhance the quality of offerings and boosts the island’s visibility on the global stage,” provided that it is managed in a “balanced” way that “fosters the development of the destination without compromising its natural and cultural assets.”

Marín indicated that Fred Olsen does not intend to broaden its hotel footprint beyond the Colombian island: “Our concentration remains on La Gomera, delivering a high-quality experience that aligns with the values of the destination,” he concluded.

The CEO of Fred Olsen also noted that despite the global economic environment presenting challenges, they remain “hopeful” and are dedicated to providing “exceptional experiences for their guests,” alongside “continuing to invest in sustainability and innovation.”

DETAILS OF THE RENOVATION

The refurbishment process has spanned nearly eight months, and since it shut its doors on 8 April, a comprehensive overhaul has taken place across the hotel’s 70,000 square metres. The inauguration ceremony was held on Wednesday, 4 December, attended by Marín, the Minister of Tourism of the Cabildo de La Gomera, María Isabel Méndez; the mayor of Alajeró, Manuel Plasencia; and the Tourism Councillor of Hermigua, Sergio Chávez.

The renovation has encompassed the rooms with expansive terraces and views, common areas, new meeting and conference spaces, swimming pools, and the 10 kilometres of pathways that meander through the hotel, including the Beatriz de Bobadilla lounge, Las Viñas Buffet, and Alisios Barbecue.

“The Hotel Jardín Tecina aspires to establish itself as a leader in sustainable and high-quality tourism within the Canaries, while also contributing to the tourism development of La Gomera, positioning it as an exclusive destination for those seeking harmony between nature, sustainability, and authenticity,” Marín stated during the event.

Among the updates are smart lighting and air conditioning systems, as well as the implementation of sustainable materials and products free from single-use plastics. Moreover, 50% of the energy utilised by the hotel is sourced from its solar panels, and there has been a strong commitment to recycling and reducing water consumption.

Furthermore, there is a concerted effort to promote local consumption, prioritising the use of zero-kilometre products and produce from their Eco Finca Tecina, ensuring strict adherence to seasonality.
