Bahia Principe Tenerife - A Pleasant Surprise
We recently stayed at Bahia Principe Tenerife, and while I had read some mixed reviews beforehand and had some concerns, I’m happy to say that our experience exceeded our expectations. We would definitely return and highly recommend this hotel to others.
The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with daily water replenishments. The views from our room, especially the sunset over the sea, were spectacular. The beds were slightly firmer than I prefer, but they suited my partner perfectly. When I called to request a mattress topper, it arrived promptly and made the bed much more comfortable.
The hotel is located in a fairly remote area, with not much nearby, but there are plenty of places to walk and transportation options if you wish to explore further. In front of the hotel, there was an area with tents and caravans, almost like a little village. The people staying there were friendly, and my partner enjoyed interacting with them during his ventures.
The buffet offered a good variety of food to suit different tastes—while it wasn’t the best we’ve ever had, it was still pleasant. The hotel also has several à la carte restaurants, although they were fully booked when we arrived. Thankfully, the customer experience desk at the sister hotel managed to secure us a spot at the Asian restaurant, which was absolutely beautiful. The Indian restaurant at the sister hotel was also a delightful and unexpected experience. It was a nice touch that with the all-inclusive package, you could access the sister hotel’s pools, restaurants, and entertainment.
The entertainment was decent. I particularly enjoyed the daytime activities—there was something for everyone, and the staff worked hard to make it a fun experience. The aqua aerobics and underwater spinning were especially enjoyable. I can’t comment much on the evening entertainment as we spent most nights at the sister hotel, nor on the children’s activities as we don’t have kids.
The hotel grounds were clean, and there were plenty of sunbeds available during our stay. The drinks and food at the pool bar were good, with options like burgers, chips, and pizza.
Overall, we had a very positive experience, and for the price, it was excellent value. If we return to Tenerife, Bahia Principe will be our go-to stay.
