Iberostar Selection Anthelia

  • Year-round Canary Islands climate
  • Oceanfront with heated pools
  • Star Prestige premium tier
  • Spanish and international cuisine

Pros — Dunes d'Or Ocean Club

  • Direct beachfront setting in Agadir.
  • Strong family amenity set with water slides, kids club, teen club, and multiple pools.
  • Walkable or short-distance access to Agadir beachfront and city amenities.
  • Large review base across TripAdvisor, Booking.com, Expedia, Thomas Cook, and Google-visible review sources.
  • Good fit for active families who want an all-inclusive beach base rather than a quiet luxury escape.

Pros — Iberostar Selection Anthelia

  • Excellent beachfront Costa Adeje location with direct access to Fañabé Beach and the promenade.
  • Very strong guest sentiment for staff, service, cleanliness, and food.
  • Extensive pool setup, including saltwater, freshwater, and children's pools with slides and pirate-ship features.
  • Strong family programming through Star Camp and child-friendly facilities.
  • Spa, hydrotherapy, fitness, tennis, paddle tennis, yoga, Pilates, and nearby golf support a strong wellness and activity profile.

Cons — Dunes d'Or Ocean Club

  • Food variety and restaurant service receive mixed feedback.
  • Some rooms and facilities may feel dated or affected by renovation cycles.
  • Pool crowding and water temperature can be issues at times.
  • Remote-work suitability is only moderate because Wi-Fi exists but business/workspace evidence is thin.
  • Reddit evidence is limited and not strongly resort-specific.

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.
