Iberostar Selection Anthelia

Highlights

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

Why choose it

  • 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.

Keep in mind

  • 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.

Ikos Andalusia

Highlights

  • Beachfront Mediterranean setting
  • Michelin-inspired menus
  • Local excursion program

Why choose it

  • Outstanding all-inclusive dining variety.
  • Highly polished service and family-friendly luxury.
  • Nine pools and a compact, easy-to-navigate resort layout.
  • Strong kids, teen, spa and sports infrastructure.

Keep in mind

  • Premium pricing can be difficult to justify for travelers who will not use the full inclusion set.
  • Restaurant reservations require planning.
  • The beach is pleasant but not as exceptional as the resort’s food, pools and service.
