Pros — Iberostar Selection Anthelia

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

  • Five restaurants, swim-up bar, beach bar, spa, tennis, water sports, and casino shuttle access.
  • Access to Caribe Deluxe Princess and Tropical Deluxe Princess expands available facilities.

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.

Cons — Punta Cana Princess

  • Rooms are commonly described as dated or in need of refurbishment.
  • Food feedback is inconsistent, especially around buffet quality.
  • Wi-Fi is mixed: official free basic Wi-Fi is available, but guest sources report reliability issues.
  • Nightlife is limited on-site; the disco is accessed through Avalon Casino rather than inside the hotel.
