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.
