Stayed for 4 nights all inclusive.
Positives
??? Very safe. Hand sanitisers everywhere. Masks worn by staff and guests. Sun- loungers socially distanced.
??? SO CLEAN! Everywhere from the rooms, the gym, to the restaurants and pool areas are beautifully clean. The cleaning team are a real credit to this hotel.
??? Standard of food at the Barbacoa and Portefino restaurant is superb.
??? Buffet breakfast has excellent variety with lots of healthy options.
??? Staff are generally very friendly and accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble.
??? TV did not work on arrival. No hot water in shower on day 3. Both were fixed within 30 minutes of reporting.
??? Spa is 5* with superb hydrotherapy, cold water pool, sensation pool, sauna and steam room.
??? Coffee machine in room. Large balcony. Stunning view overlooking the pool and sea.
??? Pharmacy 1 minute walk from hotel.
??? Easy towel service ??? you exchange a fresh towel for a card each day.
??? Easy access to beach and promenade.
??? Excellent wine, cava and drinks available.
??? English TV channels in the room.
Negatives
??? D??cor of hotel is dated, especially communal areas where bedrooms are located.
??? There are no designated smoking areas. EVERY meal we had you were forced to smell and breathe in the smoke of surrounding tables. Even at breakfast.
??? Room service is unclear. We called and ordered and with each item asked if it was included and was told it was. Then at checkout we were given an invoice for the items (which was then removed after explaining that we were told it was included by the man who took the call and not our mistake!)
??? We were never told that there was a dress-code for dinner. We were offered staff trousers to wear but these made us feel uncomfortable and penalised for their lack of communication. We were accommodated by a very helpful and delightful manager who booked us to one of the restaurants every night which, ironically, had no dress-code, even though it was far more 5* than the buffet dinner!
??? The dress-code only applies to men. Women (and children) were allowed to wear inappropriate clothes but men have to be in trousers!? It is inconsistent and needs reviewing in our opinion ??? you either have a dress-code or you don???t.
??? You are not offered drinks/snacks by poolside bar staff. You have to go and order at the bar and usually we were made to wait whilst it was prepared. That is not 5* service. Possibly because of covid? If it is then this should be explained to guests.
??? Staff at breakfast seem (understandably) stressed and are not as friendly as they are around the rest of the hotel.
We would like to especially mention the following staff:
??? Noemi (at reception) was very helpful and kind.
??? Barabcoa/Portefino staff were the best. Andres, Alejandra, Guiseppe, Ode and Stefano. These staff should be promoted and given pay-rises or bonuses! They were so personable, delightful, happy and made our stay more memorable. Thank you!!!!
Lastly, special thanks to Susana and Maria.

We went during the brief Covid travel window from the UK. The hotel was fabulous. I stay in 1-2 4/5* 'family' all inclusives a year, and this was by far the best I have ever stayed in.
The hotel did marvelously well at Covid safety- beyond reproach.
Essentially there was virtually nothing to criticise about the hotel at all. Almost unheard of for me.
Cleanliness, how well kept it is, the fabulous staff, great drinks and standout food- all fantastic. The only all inclusive I have had as good a food in, was Couples Jamaica which is renown.
There were no good walkthough videos for this hotel so like with all my other Tripadvisor hotel reviews, for Tripadvisor readers I have uploaded to Youtube a full walkthrough of the hotel showing you EVERYTHING- including food, menus, rooms, pools, bars etc with commentary. I hope this helps the Tripadvisor community to make an informed decision about the hotel- but please do not all book, it is expensive as it is and I want to go back.
To see the video go onto Youtube and search for me- 'wakeywarrior' all one word and it is there for you to see. Hope this helps!

We have just come back from a 10night holiday here, with 4 children 15,13,9 & 4!
We were abit worried due to the rules and regulations around covid19.
But everything was taken care of, hands sanitizer everywhere, tables were cleaned before seated and all staff had protective visors.
We only had to wear masks when in the restaurant to go and get food, however everyone seemed to maintain distance anyways (using their own common sense).
The food was changed everyday but with the usual kids pizza and chips everyday aswell to keep the kids happy, various flavours of ice cream and massive selection of cakes and pastries.
The freshly cooked pasta dishes (Cooks while you wait) you can pick which ever ingredients & sauce you want, they are all very tasteful.
Our room was cleaned everyday, if they knocked and we still in the room, they came back when we were out.
Very clean hotel and amazing staff, very friendly and always made to feel welcome, one time i ordered a tea, the waitress bought my tea over but forgot to bring milk, i told her no worries i will come up and get it, the waitress then insisted i stayed where i was, she will bring it, as i was on holiday..
Reception were very helpful whenever we asked for something they were always happy to help, we done a few days put, reception called for a taxi and each time within 5 minutes the taxi had arrived
The lobby bar in the evening if a nice chilled atmosphere, except for one night, one of the guests had to much to drink and was causing a scene, she was quickly removed and we never saw her in there again.
Rita who does professional photos around the hotel, is also amazing, we have some fantastic photos to capture the memories and affordable prices, She is such a lovely lady.
Will definitely be going back, and would highly recommend this hotel.. it is worth every penny.

Anthelia offers a lot of services. But I can not express enough how amazing the service of Mr. Antonio L??pez Rodriguez was.
He is an employee unlike any other. Friendly, thoughtful, comedic. His presence alone made our entire two-week stay worth it and more. He is an example by which all other employees should hold themselves to. Truly an amazing experience by his service alone!

From the wonderful staff and excellent service... breakfast staff were brilliant under the new Covid regulations.. Tenerife as a whole is dealing with it amazingly. Mask must be worn at the buffet breakfast and in communal enclosed areas of the hotel, sanitizers are located all around the hotel. The pool area is wonderful a great place for families too... entertainment is pretty good too. Not too many hotels or restaurants or bars are open at the moment. The waitress at breakfast who has done eye lash trainer is absolutely wonderful, sorry I forgot her name. The only down side which I should of mentioned at the hotel was lack of coffee and milk in the room it wasn???t topped up everyday. All the best from room 1226.
