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 — Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte

  • Food, drinks, spa, and resort extras can feel expensive by local standards.
  • Some rooms and public areas are described as dated or affected by dampness in recent guest feedback.
  • The resort is large and spread out, so some room locations involve longer walks.
  • Buffet areas and family-heavy periods can feel noisy.
  • Service is often praised, but a minority of recent guest feedback reports inconsistency.
