The travel agency La Paloma acts solely as an agent and performs a brokering service between the client and the respective provider. Viajes La Paloma S.L.U. is not the service provider; the service is provided by the owner/legal entity. When the client moves into the accommodation, a rental agreement between the client and the service provider / owner comes into effect. The team of La Viajes La Paloma S.L.U. will gladly help if problems occur. 2. If on a short-term basis an accommodation isn’t available due to force majeure, the personnel of Viajes La Paloma S.L.U. will try to offer an alternative accommodation similar in price, appointments and location. A compensation or refunding of the down payment will only be paid if accommodation isn’t available due to force majeure. 3.

| straight-from-the-shoulder words |
| Gomera is changing! Especially Valle Gran Rey has been developing more and more into an international holiday resort. Due to increasing demand, new apartment complexes and buildings are being built all the time. Tourism related infrastructure is being extended by the building of new roads. Therefore each visitor to La Gomera ought to know that busy building activity has to be reckoned with. Though we try not to accommodate you near construction sites, new construction sites may arise within days. Therefore we can not give guarantee here. As on the other Canary Islands, short-term detraction by outages of electricity or water may occur.Websurfing on La Gomera Dear guests, Many accommodations have adjusted to the trends of today and offer free WiFi! But please remember we are on a remote island. Here, you cannot expect the latest standards and the browsing speeds you might be used to at home. The average bandwidth of DSL connections is 3MB which then is distributed to all active users. The free service our accommodations offer isn’t sufficient for watching movies or downloading large files. Also there isn’t any warranty for continuous availability of the internet connection in the accommodation you rent. So please enjoy your vacations with occasional web contacts and look forward to just “log off” once in a while. |

| Many houses on La Gomera use solar technology for their hot-water supply. Since on La Gomera the sun shines on many days of the year, much conventional energy is saved by this. But on days with little sun oder cloudy skies bottlenecks in the hot-water supply can occur. |
