Never any problem finding a vacant sun lounger as they do not allow clients to leave their towels unattended for more than 45 minutes.

We visited this hotel with a side sea view, only to see the top of buildings and no sea.
We arrived and check in was smooth, then we found our room and it went down hill from there.
The areas where the rooms are located are 80???s at best and very old fashioned.
The rooms have open toilets/ showers in the room with a frosted glass door that doesn???t close. Not ideal when travelling with friends.
We then decided to go for a wonder and have a bite to eat. We saw a lunch restaurant by the main pool whereby the whole order was wrong, the staff hugging and serving the regulars while ignoring us ???newbies???. When the order arrived wrong, the waiter told us off and another waiter came over to apologise as the mistake was theirs.
The pool area was very busy so finding a seat was difficult.
The seafood restaurant overlooking the sea was outstanding - the seafood stew & service was so good we went back again!
All in all the holiday would have been fine if the website had showed real pictures of what to expect, that would have preventing our first day initial feeling of ???oh god what have we done???! Luckily it improved from there when we found a small pool surrounded by buildings where we were able to get sun loungers.

This is a very large hotel. On arrival we were given a map to find our room which was a first in a five star hotel. The hotel is very clean. The rooms have the wash basins in the main part of the room and the toilet is behind a frosted glass partition which allows no privacy. The rooms are clean and turndown service every afternoon.
The main buffet restaurant is huge and you will always get a table. The variety of food is good and the dessert section is outstanding. The staff in the restaurant spoke little english so was good to try our Spanish as after all we are in Spain.
The other dining options were an Italian which was very nice and we were served by Giuseppe who was such a lovely cheerful and friendly man who really made our evening enjoyable. The other is the Poisedin which was really nice and we had a lovely evening there too and the food was good.
The pool area is nice and there is always something to do either pool Zumba or soap making classes. During the day around the pool you are offered ice cream which was delicious or smoothies or fruit which was nice. There were the usual people reserving sun beds but we always managed to find beds.
The evening entertainment was good and the animation team work very hard to make it enjoyable. The greatest showman show was excellent.
The other bar was also nice and we had some nice cocktails there. Staff here were very lively and friendly.
Staff at the reception were fine but always said no first before finally sorting your query. They need to be a bit friendlier. On leaving we noticed they had luggage weighing scales which was good but were charged 1 Euro per case to weigh them which at a 5* hotel felt this was petty.
The hotel is in a nice area with plenty of shops nearby. It is also not too far from the airport so short transfer.
We enjoyed our stay.

I stayed in Oct for 7 nights booked the holiday via Jet 2 who were fab. Hotel is beautiful, with really nice caring staff. I emailed ahead to book the restaurants which was no problem and received a prompt email back. I recommend downloading the app once you are there as it is great you can ask questions, request things for your room via the app and get an almost instance response. I booked the Spa via the app and asked for a kettle for my room and I was responded to within minutes.
Food is outstanding we were all inclusiive and it is well worth it. I looked the restaurant around the pool at lunchtime you can choose off the menu (loads of fresh fish) and steaks, and it is cooked fresh. There is also lots of wine to choose from on the AI option and you can have a bottle at your table. Cava and chocolates were in our room on arrival.
The bar is lovely with really lovely staff, the service is outstanding. We had a problem one evening with our restaurant booking as the hotel had to close the restaurant but one of the lady managers sorted us out with a free meal at the sea Soul restaurant which was fab we just had to pay for the drinks that evening.
The hotel is in a really good position for walking (right or left ) out of the hotel there are plently of nice bars and restaurants if you want a change.
The breakfast was really busy and we struggled sometimes to get a seat outside but when we got up early and was in breakfast for 7.30am we always managed a lovely seat outside.
We had a sea view room (paid for a garden room) so the free upgrade was very nice. I did water tredmill and water bikes (spinning) which was both very good with excellent instructors. The entertain staff were very nice and friendly and work really hard. The nights shows were good but started a bit early for us so we never managed to watch a full show but the singers in the bar area were equally really good.
I will return again so if in doubt just book it and I recommend Jet 2 they were fab as well. The weather was perfect around 26-28 degree every day

Some hotels masquerade five stars when this is not always the case. But the Iberostar Selection Anthelia is five star in the true sense of the word. I won't repeat what the majority of Tripadvisor reviewers have said about the hotel, its cheerful and friendly staff throughout, the fabulous food etc. other than to say that this is probably the best European hotel I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in a large number of four and five star hotels across the Med over the last 50 years. If, or to be more accurate, WHEN I make my next visit I will avoid the side sea view priority location room we had on the fifth floor in the Aieda block. There was nothing wrong with the room itself it's just that we were above the music coming from the Lobby Bar. This stopped at 11pm but I occasionally like to go to bed early. If I had approached the reception staff I am sure that they would have found me a quieter room but we were only there for a week and the music was not a major issue. Other early sleepers may wish to bear this in mind when they make their room choice. Just one other small point - I couldn't understand why the turn down service and change of towels took place sometimes as early as 5.30pm - before we'd even showered before dinner. These are just minor niggles by a regular 'nit picker' because I couldn't find anything else to 'complain' about. If you are looking to stay in Costa Adeje it would be difficult - indeed nigh impossible - to find a nicer luxury hotel to stay in.
