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.
