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 — Shangri-La Boracay Resort & Spa

• Expensive compared with most Boracay resorts.
• Not walkable to central Boracay nightlife or D'Mall.
• Some guests may find the resort too removed from White Beach action.
• Pool count is less of a megaresort-style feature than the beaches, villas, and service.
