Iberostar Selection Anthelia

We have not long got back from a week's all inclusive stay. From the initial booking in, all the staff were helpful and very friendly. The hotel decor is a little dated but that didn't affect our stay at all. The room was clean and tidy on arrival. The food was great, always a selection and again, restaurant staff and cooks were all friendly and welcoming. The pool staff were great, very attentive and friendly. There was never an issue getting a sun longer even later on in the day there was always space - not the mad dash you see with people reserving the first thing. Yes, people did this but there was always spare at all pools. We were very impressed with our stay as would definitely go back !

Excellent services. Great taste food. Activities all day long for all ages Staff very professional and very kind. Swimming pool was great Location of hotel very good near supper market and restaurants. Cleaning was excellent Thank you to all and we will be back

This is a lovely hotel with some great facilities. I stayed B&B, there are plenty of local restaurants and bars within walking distance along the seafront. It’s located in the quieter end of Adeje, which was perfect for us. But the livelier area is within walking distance. The breakfast is amazing, a huge choice of things, in 7 days I did not get to sample everything. The room was clean, they serviced it twice a day if required. The pool areas are nice, although it got busy quite early.

Stayed in interconnecting rooms in Carmen block for 11 days. Anthelia is simply amazing. Attention to detail everywhere. The grounds are so clean, the pool area is so clean, the gardens excellently maintained. And considering the vast size of the resort, this is no mean feat! We stayed b&b and the breakfast was the best we have ever encountered. We also ate at the pool snack bar and that was also very tasty and well presented. The cocktails are delicious. Never an issue getting sunbeds and the pool towel system works really well. But, the single factor that sets Anthelia apart from others is the staff. Every single member of staff we met had a friendly smile and a greeting. Be that the maintenance staff, the house keeping staff or the many waiting staff, every single one of them went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and appreciated. It’d be impossible to name everybody individually but a special mention to Ines and Sara in the lobby bar and Ormond and Daniel in the pool bar (predominantly). And the head waiter at breakfast - wonderful gentleman who had a bright and friendly greeting every morning. Our family agreed it was the best holiday we have been on and we had the most relaxing time ever. Thank you Anthelia, we will most definately be back! Some things to note: - my biggest “issue”. Our double room had no door separating the bathroom from the bedroom and the toilet door had frosted glass. Now, I love my husband….but neither he nor I want to see each other’s shiloutte while sitting on the toilet. Our children had a twin room next door which had a door you could close to separate the bathroom from the bedroom. Much more acceptable - the resort is vast and it can take a while to get from your room to reception, a lot of walking - our rooms overlooked the children’s pirate pool. Our children are now teenagers who like their sleep. Unfortunately a few mornings star camp would jolt them awake with loud cheery music as it got underway for the younger guests at the pirate pool. It wasn’t a massive big deal but I’d prob ask to be moved next time to avoid our whinging teenagers - the hotel has a shop on site. It is extremely expensive and waaaaay overpriced for everything from soft drinks to suncream to books. Shop elsewhere.

We have just returned from the Hotel Anthelia. Costa Adeje.It is an incredible hotel and all the staff were friendly, helpful and enjoyed a chat. We had half board and the breakfast choice of food covered everything we required. The evening meals were cooked by amazing chefs and had lots of choices of meat and vegetables to suit everyone. There was a large choice of sweets, pastries, wonderful cakes and fruit. We looked forward to going to the restaurant not knowing what we would be choosing to eat. One of the waitresses Aramburu was particularly helpful and excellent at her job. The evening bar staff were very friendly and all the staff made us feel very welcome. The evening entertainment was very good. The swimming pools and garden areas were spotless and it was a pleasure to sit around the gardens. The bed turn down and chocolates each night were very welcome. The hotel is in a convenient area and it is possible to enjoy lots of lovely walks. This is our second visit to the hotel and would recommend it and we will stay again.

I can fully recommend Iberostar Anthelia, please see below my pros and a few cons. Pros - •A Great welcome, chocolates, cold flannel, cava or juice. •Plenty of staff all of whom are friendly and helpful. •Rooms are nice, although on the smaller size. •Pools are good and 2 are heated with plenty of spare sun beds around them. •The Towel system is great, you get cards and swap them for a towel each day for the pool or beach. •Breakfast, lunch and dinner has a great selection with ok quality food (I am abit fussy though!), they can get busy at peak times. •The gym is good and not very busy. •Quiz’s and Bingo are fun and nice prizes, caps and bottles of cava. •There is normally two choices of night entertainment, a live music act in the lobby and a show in the Anthelia Mall which are entertaining. Cons - •Rooms with connecting doors. Our 1st room had an adjourning door. Woke up on our 1st night after a very long day by next door at 11.30pm who were trying to open the door into our room and being very loud and they kept this up till gone 1am when we moved rooms (helpful & friendly staff) but poor room design and if you get an adjoining door room and want some quiet/peace I would ask to move. •Toilet paper is like single ply and not good quality for a 5* hotel. •There’s a lot of Flies at the breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets. Both at your table and going onto the food buffet (Should either close some of the bifold doors or cover the food up). •Requirement for men to wear long trousers to dinner, I just don’t get why smart shorts are not ok for men but women and children can wear whatever they want.

Fabulous hotel in an excellent location. The staff, accommodation and food were exceptional. We enjoyed our stay immensely and hope to return in the near future. On the whole the entertainment was good but there were a few acts in the bar, with the exception of the saxophonist which were a little bit under-par.

We have recently returned from a 10 night stay in this high quality iberostar hotel. It was our first visit to Tenerife and our first time staying with this hotel brand. I have to say that we were delighted with both choices. After a stressful time, we wanted somewhere to switch off, relax and be taken care of for a while and this stay totally met our brief. Firstly, the setting and architecture of the hotel is impressive and effectively simulates an upmarket cañarían village. The gardens are absolutely immaculate and beautifully designed and planted with a wide variety of attractive and exotic trees and plants. Even when the hotel is busy, there are plenty of quiet and peaceful corners that can be found. There are three main pools and a separate enclosed pool area for younger children which comes complete with a pirate ship and some entertainment. Sometimes the pools can be noisy and loud music was played during a fashion show and for various aerobic classes in the main pool, but for the vast majority of each day, the norm is one of relaxed calm with peacefulness or quiet background music. One day a saxophonist played gently for a couple of hours and I think everybody fell soundly asleep! The rooms appear to be of good quality; not luxurious but are very clean and well serviced, each with a nice balcony area. The dining room is also of high quality with a great standard of service but still relaxed and friendly. The bars serve generous portions and are tended by friendly and efficient staff. In fact, the staff are the jewel in the crown of this hotel. Friendly and helpful to a fault, every time a member of staff was encountered you were greeted with a friendly ‘Hola !’. It really does make an enormous difference. I could go on, but I will just say that after ten days we all (reluctantly) came away feeling totally relaxed and recharged. I would definitely recommend it and would definitely be back to stay at this hotel or try another in the iberostar brand.
