Iberostar Selection Anthelia

"Nice vacation to soak up some more sun! The resort in general and also the rooms are very clean and beautiful. The children's program at the hotel and the entertainers are super! Unfortunately, I don't have all the names in my head anymore, but Brandon for example: always super-friendly and having fun at work! Only with the staff in the buffet restaurant do you notice the stress now and then, which is of course often no wonder... And it is a great pity that there is no real "beach bar" where you can simply sit in peace in the evening and enjoy yourself. The pool bar closes at 6 p.m.! While there is really great live music every evening in the lobby bar and a great program in the theater hall, something "cozy" is somehow missing in the evenings... Nevertheless: nice resort for a week of soaking up the sun and switching off!"

"Super good and fun for young and old. Top breakfast and very friendly staff. Beautifully located on the most beautiful piece of Tenerife."

"We are currently coming to the end of a 5 day stay at the Iberostar Selection Anthelia, our first visit. The hotel is large, well presented and has friendly staff. It is spread over different levels so expect lots of stairs - there are lifts too. Although it is large there are many different areas so it doesnt feel too busy. We stayed All inclusive, but the hotel does offer room only and half board. You do NOT get given wrist bands so expect to be asked for your room number for every drink you order and every visit to the restaurant. We have not encountered this with a 5 star all inclusive before and in our opinion would rather wear a wrist band. Having to queue to enter the restaurant purely to have our room number recorded seems a little unnecessary and I can imagine in peak times would take some time. The waiter then asks you again when you order drinks! The food on offer is good quality, we found breakfast to be the best offerings but were also pleasantly surprised by the quality and choice of desserts. There are no self service drinks (apart from juice at breakfast) so expect to wait for waiter service in the restaurant and by the pool. Its not clear what food is on offer by the pools without asking for a menu. We found maybe less choice than other hotels we have been to, but the quality is very good. The straws provided with drinks dont last very long and will break before you finish your drink! Not sure what they are made of! Not everything is included in the all inclusive package so be sure to check. In our opinion at an all inclusive we believe everything offered should be included. The room we had was a double room with garden view, looking out to the smaller top pool. We could go out of our patio door straight to the pool which was quite handy. We found loungers everytime we out, so no need to reserve (at this time of year). The mini bar is s nice touch and is topped up daily. There is also a turn down service each afternoon where chocolates are left on the bed! Location of the hotel is good. Straight out of the back onto the promenade. A few minutes walk to shops and bars of costa adeje and about an hour walk to playa de las americas. Would we return? Maybe. But not in peak season"
