Pros — Azura Benguerra Island

  • Beautiful and uncrowded Bazaruto beach setting.
  • Private-pool villas and dedicated butler-host model.
  • Strong food and service reputation for a small remote island resort.

Pros — Iberostar Selection Anthelia

  • Excellent beachfront Costa Adeje location with direct access to Fañabé Beach and the promenade.

  • Extensive pool setup, including saltwater, freshwater, and children's pools with slides and pirate-ship features.

Cons — Azura Benguerra Island

  • Remote transfer logistics and a high nightly price.

  • Some excursions and premium drinks are not clearly included.

Cons — Iberostar Selection Anthelia

  • Some rooms and decor can feel dated compared with newer five-star Tenerife resorts.
  • This is a large, family-friendly resort, so it may not suit travelers seeking an adults-only or boutique atmosphere.
  • Several specialty restaurants are not included in all board types, so inclusions can be confusing without checking the booked plan.
  • The beach is convenient and swimmable, but the resort experience is stronger than the beach itself for travelers seeking a remote, pristine shoreline.
