Excellent Hotel, 3rd Visit
10/10

“Pros The hotel overall has a clean nice feel to it, very spacious if you like big hotels. Attractive grounds and in the best location of Costa Adeje on the seafront. Main pool area at front facing sea, the other further back into the hotel and heated, still outside. Lots of available beds and very comfortable. Staff are great. Very friendly and helpful. Food is excellent, lots of choice available and I’m quite fussy. The gymnasium is probably the best I’ve ever been to in a hotel. The only machine they could do with is a preacher bench but that’s just me being picky. There’s an inside and outside gym area which is quite unique. Evening entertainment was good. Particularly Clarence Stanley, look out for him, he was amazing! Cons Not many to be honest. The drinks are a bit pricey compared to prices outside hotel area, bars, restaurants etc, but I guess that’s to be expected. They’re not tight with the measures so there’s that. Aircon wasn’t that great but I believe restrictions have been added to prevent hotels dropping the temperature too low so not sure if this was the reason.”

Third visit at this amazing hotel

“We’ve just returned from our third stay, and once again, this hotel has completely exceeded expectations. I travelled with my husband, our 3-year-old son, and my in-laws—and genuinely, there is something here for everyone. From the moment you arrive, the attention to detail is clear. The rooms are immaculately clean—we stayed in Daphne this time and were treated to a stunning sea view overlooking the little cove. Housekeeping is wonderfully flexible too; you can have your room serviced as often (or as little) as you like—just leave a note on the card and they’ll take care of it. Now, the food and drinks—absolutely outstanding. Having stayed in many all-inclusive resorts, I can honestly say this one goes above and beyond. No “bare minimum” here—just premium, proper drinks, an impressive selection of wines and cocktails, and thoughtful touches throughout. My son was obsessed with his daily Colada Jungle—so much so that he’s been asking for them ever since we got home! The buffet restaurant is exceptional. We don’t even bother with the à la carte options because the buffet has everything you could want—always fresh, fully stocked, and spotless regardless of when you dine. The live cooking stations are a highlight, offering three fish and three meat options cooked exactly to your liking, right in front of you. During our 10-day stay, we were lucky enough to enjoy two lobster nights and two sushi nights—easily our favourites! Service is another standout feature. There’s never a struggle to find a table, and the staff are incredibly attentive—always ensuring you have a drink, the right cutlery, and even a steady supply of those “magic wipes” (essential when your child discovers the chocolate fountain!). Poolside service is just as impressive. There’s plenty of seating options, and while the heated pool is understandably popular, it never feels crowded. The pool bar serves delicious poke bowls, which were a refreshing change from the usual fries and wings you often find elsewhere. Afternoons became a bit of a tradition for us—we’d head to the main pool at 3pm for bingo or the daily quiz. The entertainment team is phenomenal, working tirelessly from morning to night to create a fun, welcoming atmosphere. We especially loved the ping pong and French boules tournaments! What really sets them apart is their warmth—they greet you at meals, check in throughout the day, and genuinely make you feel at home. Evenings are just as lively. After the kids’ disco, there’s a different show each night in the mall, alongside live music in the lobby bar. Some evenings even feature casino nights, so there’s always something to suit every mood. This trip was a little different weather-wise—we experienced unexpected rain and wind (rare for Tenerife in March!). But even then, the hotel truly shone. They adapted brilliantly—opening indoor spaces, setting up a games room and cinema, and organising extra workshops complete with a complimentary buffet. It’s this kind of effort that really sets them apart. If I had to mention one area for improvement, it would be the kids’ club and play areas. There’s currently a lack of toys, and the outdoor 'play park' feels quite worn. The same goes for the lobby area—there are lovely ideas (train tracks, play kitchen, puzzles), but they’re incomplete or missing pieces. A refresh here would make a huge difference. That said, I can’t finish without giving special recognition to some truly exceptional staff members. Katy and Andrea from the entertainment team are simply incredible—their energy, enthusiasm, and genuine passion are infectious. They go out of their way to connect with guests and feel more like friends than staff. And finally, Aramburu in the restaurant—what an absolute gem. My son is usually very cautious around people, but she took the time every single day to gently build his trust. By the middle of the holiday, he was blowing her kisses and even winking at her—and on our final day, he gave her a hug, which is huge for him. That kind of kindness and understanding is something you can’t teach—it’s just who she is. We’re now home, battling a serious case of the holiday blues… and already planning our fourth visit—yes, it really is that good. No review can truly do this place justice—you simply have to experience it for yourself!”
Another great holiday in the Salome.

“Another great week at The Anthelia. We decided to go all inclusive upgraded from half board as we were offered a great deal at reception and this worked well for us -you can use the other restaurants with a good percentage off the menu price - all drinks were available apart from champagne which was fine with us as we like Cava and Prosecco anyway ! A big thanks to Susie and staff on reception - Susie our room was amazing thank you - all the staff are brilliant-thanks Oscar and team in the bars (pool also) you really did look after us. The hotel location is amazing - we prefer del duque beach to fanabe and there is a really good shopping mall 5 minutes away ! We have been many times to this hotel and we will be back.”

“We just had the most fabulous holiday here. Room was great, buffet was lovely, bar was great. The pools were fab. The kids club was amazing - the staff were kind, attentive and the activities were really varied. The staff were so enthusiastic - the disco was fab and the Disney night. We recommended to a friend and they’ve booked already.”
A lovely, relaxing stay at the Anthelia

“This is a lovely hotel in a quiet area near Fanabe / El Duque with pleasant walks in either direction. There is a boutique shop within the hotel which stocks beach attire and other essentials. Our room was spotless and in a nice location overlooking a quiet pool with a distant sea view. The food selection at breakfast was very good. The grounds and garden areas of the hotel are beautiful and well kept. Staff were helpful, room servicing good and frequent. Would hope to return at some point.”
Great night at the Portofino

“The hotel location is excellent. Direct access to the promenade in a nice part of Adeje. The staff were excellent too. We booked half board so had the buffet at both breakfast and dinner. Really enjoyed the choice and quality of the food. The desserts at dinner were my highlight. I'd say that the dinner was probably the best hotel buffet I've had. Some people comment in general about buffet food being cold but we didn't find that at all. The hotel has numerous chilled water dispensers in the accommodation blocks. Excellent idea. However, why is it we are then charged for water in the restaurant when it's available free elsewhere? After the first night I took my refillable bottle in with lovely chilled water from just outside the restaurant. Common sense? The reason for not rating 5 star was the room - a duplex suite. Great that you have two toilets and two balconies however maintenance was an issue. We notified reception of three issues and only one was rectified during our week's stay. Also, it was sold as a double room but we had two single beds pushed together with single sheets and duvets. Not what we expected.”
Not worth the money

“It’s really not worth the money, the hotel is looking tired now, the carpets along the corridors are old and dirty looking, reception area and parts of the hotel look very old fashioned, the food in the restaurant was lovely but was only Lukewarm, if you are a couple or group of adults looking for a relaxing holiday, you might not get it, as there is a lot of toddlers, I love children but while relaxing all you can hear is little ones screaming, there are 4 pools, 3 of them are for children and the other pool would be ideal for an adult only pool, but no there was a lot of toddlers screaming, I wouldn’t rate this hotel as a five star, would avoid if you are looking for relaxation”
Iberostar Anthelia's staff are wonderful, mainly great food, room super, will return!

“Love the Iberostar brand having stayed at Gran Tacande many times thought I would try the Anthelia, pleased I did. Charming receptionist at midnight on 28 February after 12 hours of gruelling travel (flight redirected to Agadir for 5/6 hours ugh). Informed I had been upgraded from side sea view to double sea view and the west facing view I had requested had been so kindly fulfilled! I upgraded to All Inc from Half Board for 302 Euros and so pleased I did. Mini fridge so well stocked, as was coffee pods, red wine etc. Buffet food disappointingly COLD or lukewarm at best but cooking stations superb providing hot cooked fish/steak etc so stuck to that. Cold buffets were superb, sushi, lobster, smoked salmon, prawns etc. Salads, cheese platters, bread etc all equally sumptuous. Breakfasts fruit bar/juices bread etc super as always. STAFF were without exception WONDERFULLY helpful and kind. Room sadly cold and other guests complained of not being able to put heating on. Will book again directly as not good value through Easyjet as long transfers so 5 days out of 7 enjoyed. Great trip ... thank you Anthelia. Julie x”

“My stay was for about three weeks in February. There is not one person working here that isn't willing to help, or that doesn't have a friendly approach towards their guests. From checkin to checkout and even after. The people working at the reception all speak proper English, and often other languages. Every single one of them receive you with a friendly attitude. Upon entry I was welcomed with a free drink and they had my bagage delivered to the room by default. Extensions of my stay were always handled without any issue. Even when the hotel was booked full, they managed to fix something and had me stay in the same room, as requested. They accepted cash and creditcard (I haven't had to try any other payment options) The food they serve is of good quality and has a wide variety in options. At breakfast there's a lot of sweets for those that like it, but also plenty of healthy options. You can dine inside or enjoy your food in an open area outside. The workers in the restaurant don't always speak English in a way that you can hold a conversation, but they all control the basics at least. They will be able to understand, and they're always on the move to keep the place clean. My room had all the basics one could need. The room itself and the beds were cleaned daily. They do a daily round by your door to ask if you want some extra towels, minibar refill, or simply to hand you some chocolates. If you're sleeping in the morning, they will come and clean it in the afternoon. At all times they will respect the 'do not disturb' sign if it's on your door. Issues can always happen in a complex as big as Anthelia is, but they were all fixed almost instantly, at all times. When I had some water leaking underneath the shower door past 23.00 they had someone mop the floor immediately and bring fresh towels as soon as I notified reception. No attitude, just service. When they notice a defect in your room during cleaning, they will proactively get maintenance to get it fixed. Another time I thought my airconditioning was broken as the controls did not work at all. They had 2 maintenance guys showing up to fix it right away. Again after 22.00. It turned out the controls to the airconditioning don't work when the doors of your balcony are open. That was a quick fix and a good laugh. Again, no attitude from either of them - just service with a smile. The TV comes with international networks: Spanish, French, English, German and Dutch from what I've seen. The TV also comes with a chromecast by default for some personal entertainment of your own choice. The live entertainment outside I'm usually not a big fan of, but from the balcony I could enjoy them trying to hype up people quite a few times. The room is very well sound isolated when you close the balcony door, so the sound really shouldn't bother you if it's not your thing. On every hallway there's free filtered water. There's a gym in the complex that's freely accessible 24/7 and is equipped with quite a lot of options actually. Not just the typical threadmill and bicycle, but also for weightlifting far beyond a few dumbells. Laundry service is completed within 24h. The only improvement I could suggest is to lower the prices on laundry for socks/underwear. It's cheaper to buy new ones than to have them washed. All in all I have my own home now on Tenerife, but if I ever need a hotel again it will surely be Iberostar Anthelia! Thank you for the good time.”

“The Portofino restaurant should be of high calibre, we booked 5No days in advance and were really looking forward to a nice evening with some nice food. The service staff were very tentative but the beef lasagna was awful, disgusting, vile, appalling, it looked okay from the outside but the first mouthful was luke warm and then in the middle was cold. The staff tried everything to stay and have another serving but it was too late. The evening was ruined so we left everything on the table and reported straight to the reception. As of writing this some nearly 24hrs later we have heard nothing from the hotel. To make things worse we ordered 1No plate of fries and literally before the mains came out we were told no chips / fries , really !!!!!!!!! 5* I don’t think so”

“Perfectly positioned hotel enjoying panoramic views. Staff could not be more welcoming and helpful. Special mention to Pherimena who word at the main pool bar.Rooms are very comfortable. Only downside is the glass doors into the shower and toilet rooms… but fine as long as you know your bedroom partner well We upgraded to all inclusive on arrival and although not big drinkers we are throughly enjoying all the meals (choice and quality is fabulous) and the range of drinks. Plenty of daytime activities and have enjoyed the evening musical entertainment and had a dance. No reserving of sunbeds here as there are loads. Main pool is heated and then there’s an even warmer smaller pool. Hoping to return next Jan. Looking to return next January.”
