Iberostar Selection Anthelia

The room was superb with everything I needed. The staff were always friendly and helpful. It was ideally placed by the sea with great pools. Lots of activities were available and I especially enjoyed exercises in the pool. The salt water pool was my favourite.Breakfast catered for every possible taste and was excellent.

We have just come back from a week at the Iberostar, we loved every minute, the staff and the service are brilliant, we had interconnecting rooms on the ground floor, the rooms are quite basic but the beds and shower was excellent. The food was a particular highlight for us, the selection at the buffet was amazing, fresh meat and fish served daily cooked to your preference and a huge selection of salads , breads and deserts. The evening entertainment was great, the lobby bar with live music every night and the abba tribute night was fab. We had a great stay and will definitely return. Big shoutout to Bruno with the entertainment team he was an absolute star!!!

Our stay at Iberostar Anthelia was truly wonderful. The hotel is beautiful, exceptionally well maintained, and the attention to detail is evident everywhere. What really makes this place special, however, are the people. Everyone we met was incredibly kind and welcoming. A special thank you to Maria, who looked after our room so beautifully every day. The staff in the restaurants, the animation team, and the management all went out of their way to make sure every guest had an amazing experience. Their professionalism and genuine care made our holiday unforgettable. The only sad mark on an otherwise perfect stay was our experience at the Poseidon restaurant. During lunch, we witnessed what appeared to be a very aggressive interaction between Ode and one of her colleagues. It was uncomfortable to watch and not something you expect to see in such a welcoming hotel. Unfortunately, the following day, Ode was also rude and aggressive towards me and my family. The interaction left us feeling genuinely intimidated, and as a result, we decided not to return to the restaurant for the remainder of our holiday. Apart from this isolated incident, our experience at Iberostar Anthelia was excellent, and we are grateful to the many wonderful members of staff who made our stay so enjoyable.

This was my first solo trip and I had the most wonderful experience. The hotel is GORGEOUS. It’s modern, clean, stunning and feels luxurious. It’s all very well designed and in good taste. The staff can’t do enough for you. You arrive to a welcome drink of your choice from the bar (not a cheap pre-mix…it’s whatever you want, a good quality drink). I was grouchy from travelling but the staff were still so nice and friendly to me. In fact, one of the staff members saved my life a few days later when I choked on a headache tablet!!!! They were all so caring, happy, genuinely caring about your wellbeing, professional and helpful, every single one of them. The service was outstanding. Staff would offer cocktails and ice cream whilst you’re sunbathing by the pool. There are loads of activities to enjoy that’s all included! I did the sunset yoga that took place outside, overlooking the sea (gorgeous!), and I did the pool exercise that was just really fun. I couldn’t stop smiling and laughing. The instructors were so energised and entertaining and funny, and the music was modern with a beat. It felt like dancing in water. I loved it. The restaurant is OUT OF THIS WORLD. I couldn’t believe the ‘buffet’ offer (if you call it that!) it was unreal! It was what you’d get if you wished for the best breakfast from a genie. It had everything you could think of; English breakie section, egg section, fruit, smoothies, juice, many yogurts and nuts and REAL, raw honey, açai (Açai!!!!), overnight oats, chia, all the super food powders, coffees and teas, bakery treat section, meats, cheeses, breads. I could go on! Dinner was on the same level. The restaurant is beautiful and there’s an outside section to sit out too. It made me wonder if this was the kind of treatment the Kardasians were used to, because it couldn’t get better. The market food area is also great for trying other foods. The entertainment was fun too. Being a ‘solo’ traveller, that was the only time I felt a bit weird because I was on my own so I didn’t stay to watch the entertainment. There were so many different areas of the hotel everywhere, I kept finding new sections to chill out in. My room was so nice too. I felt safe and treated very well. It felt like luxury. The hotel is SO close to the beach and the main strip with restaurants and bars. There’s a little path to follow at the back gate. It’s very secure. Instead of a room card key, you get a wristband. I loved that. There was no worries of losing it. I was even impressed with the lifts! You press the floor you want and then the lift tells you which lift number to wait at! Oh, and there’s a coffee shop with amazing coffee and cakes. I had about 3 iced lattes a day. The lady learnt my order. The staff EVERYWHERE were amazing. I loved the strawberry daiquiris at the pool bar. The pool is stunning. I enjoyed swimming in it and also reading my book at the shallow end. And opposite the front of the hotel are shops to buy your ‘British’ goods (crisps, sweets, water, cans, biscuits). It’s dead opposite a small road you cross. Oh, AND there’s filtered water fountains in the hotel so you can drink, clean free water to your hearts content. I think it’s fair to say I had a fantastic experience, I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for all the staff members, especially the amazing receptionist who helped me when I was choking and basically saved my life!!!!

We stayed at Iberostar Selection Anthelia in early January as a family, and it was a great vacation. The hotel is not cheap, especially during the high season in Tenerife, but we felt that the overall experience was worth it. The location is excellent: right by the ocean, with beautiful sunset views and views towards La Gomera. The area is lively and there are many people walking along the promenade, but for us this was not a problem at all. It made the hotel feel very well connected to the surrounding area. We had a two-level room, which worked perfectly for our family. Our son stayed downstairs, while my wife and I stayed upstairs, so everyone had enough space and privacy. The room type was one of the highlights of the stay for us. We took half board and mostly had breakfast and dinner at the hotel. This suited me perfectly, as I usually eat only twice a day. My wife and son could have lunch elsewhere when they wanted, including at the hotel for an additional charge. The food was very good, with a wide variety and something new almost every day — for example Japanese dishes, Lebanese dishes and other changing themes. As vegetarians, we also had plenty of options to choose from. I also really liked the hotel’s approach to drinking water. Instead of plastic bottles, there are filtered water stations where guests can refill their bottles. It is practical, environmentally friendly and very convenient. The hotel territory is clean, tidy and well maintained. There are several pools, some warmer and some at regular temperature, and my son also appreciated the gym. Another convenient feature was the travel agent desk at the hotel, which helped us book trips around Tenerife and to nearby islands. There were a couple of small issues: when we arrived, some bedding and bathrobes were missing, but this was resolved quickly. On another occasion, someone else’s drink was mistakenly added to our bill, but once I explained that I had not ordered it and that the signature was not mine, the hotel immediately removed it. These were minor points and did not affect our overall impression. Overall, we were very happy with the hotel. If we return to Tenerife, I do not think we will spend much time looking for another place. We would be very happy to stay at Iberostar Selection Anthelia again, probably in the same room type and again with half board.

Had the most amazing experience here , and especially with the most amazing waitress Miriam , she was so attentive, and constantly checking in on us to make sure all was okay , definitely recommend! She’s the best

Hotel was amazing. All of the Staff were brilliant, they were all so helpful and friendly. We stayed All Inclusive. All of the food and drink were really good. The buffet had different choices every day, all very good quality food. Room had everything we needed. Pool area is very clean, bar staff walking round taking orders frequently. Would highly recommend this hotel. Right by the coastal walkway, only a few steps from other bars and restaurants if you are going out.

Definately the best hotel in Adeje, all the staff are very helpful and friendly and the accommodation and facilities are first class. We will undoubtedly return this year and next at least twice.

"They advertise an all-inclusive stay, but four out of the five restaurants require an extra fee."

Excellent service, amenities, cleanliness, atmosphere

We’ve recently returned from our second stay at this beautiful hotel. I am happy to say that our decision to return was a very good one. The hotel and its grounds are immaculate and provide an amazing experience for those who decide to holiday here. It’s quite a big hotel but the layout gives a wonderful sense of space and tranquility. As with most successful and memorable places it’s the staff who really make that special difference and, without exception, every member of staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. It seems a shame to single out individual staff members when they were all so good but here are a few that made our holiday so good. Zeus Buffet Restaurant…. Nelda, Tamara, Mayerlin and Cesar Hall/Lobby Bar …Inez, Christian, Alicia and Armando Zumeria Pool Bar …Alejandro M, Alejandro, Luca ( great aqua sessions), Miriam(?) and Candi’l …and so many more! We will definitely return.

Absolutely no personal service.

We came back for the third time to this hotel and it never fails to impress us. There is endless facilities and the entertainment crew always have activities running throughout the day. The hotel is also located very close to the beach with access to restaurants and shops. But overall, the highlight of the experience is the staff. Miriam, Armondo, Oscar and Alejandro at the pool bar are friendly and always happy to help. We spent a lot of time in the hotel bar where the bar staff Cristian, Antonio, Nester, Oscar and Daniel got along with everyone and put a smile on everyones face. The staff really make the overall experience of the hotel and are all so lovely.

My honest review… This is a big hotel which feels safe and suits all travellers young/old, couples/families etc. There are filtered water stations throughout the hotel which save having to buy bottled water. Gym is good, has everything you need with an indoor and outdoor area, available to use 24/7. Food - this is mostly good. Lots of options including freshly prepared items and healthy choices. However it is often the same things for lunch and dinner so feels repetitive, desserts also repetitive. However the biggest issue was the organisation and service in the restaurant, this really falls short of 5 star. Upon entering the restaurant you are asked for your room number, mid-way through eating you are then approached again by a different staff member asking for your room number (this seems totally unnecessary and is unsettling being questioned on multiple occasions every time). On one occasion I had seated at a table outside alone and was offered a drink by a member of staff. The next minute, a different larger male staff member approached me and told me I had to move from the table as another couple were waiting for a table outside (there was no reservation system so this was not clear at all). This was very embarrassing and intimidating being a young woman on my own. He was very loud about it and waved me off the table in front of other guests. I then went inside and found myself a table in the corner where I could sit and have my lunch. I felt nervous about entering the restaurant for the rest of our stay so this really had a negative impact on my experience. Location - is great, right on the beachfront, around 20 mins walk to La Caleta and just 5 minutes from lively bars and restaurants in Adeje. Las Americas is around 40 mins walk along the beachfront. It is very quiet despite being so close to everything. Pool areas - all beautiful and clean, plenty of sunbeds although these do get reserved early. 2 larger pools and 1 smaller heated pool again great for all ages. Staff - main manager, housekeeping staff, reception staff, pool bar staff and the animation team were all fantastic and couldn’t do enough for people. Rooms - we paid extra for a sea view double, the views from our balcony were stunning and the room was very quiet. The bed was huge and had comfy pillows. However there is wear and tear in the rooms and they need updating to really justify the 5 star rating. The phone in our room didn’t work, we experienced a couple of issues with little ants a few of the days but these were dealt with by housekeeping and the manager did continue to check on the situation with us and offered to move us to another room which was appreciated. The shower also continuously changed between hot and cold when using which wasn’t pleasant. Activities & entertainment - this was hit and miss. The daytime activities were better than the evening entertainment which again didn’t feel 5*. Overall, the hotel is nice and it does the job for a relaxing week away but improvements need to be made to justify a 5* status.

The whole team who took care and entertain my child was great . My son was delighted to stay in kids club each time .

Beautiful hotel situated on the promenade. Rooms are well equipped with a superking sized bed. The staff are amazing and service is first class. The hotel is large but you can always get a sunbed as there are so many to choose from. We haven’t gone home yet and I want to return already! We had a sea view room in Butterfly block, room 304, this room overlooks the pool and sea and was better than expected. If you e asking yourself if it’s worth paying extra to stay here I would say it’s definitely worth it.
