Rooms & suites
Who fits where at Bahia Principe Fantasia Tenerife
All 2 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Bedrooms | Aspect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Family Room | Sleeps 4 | 1 bedroom | Garden or pool |
| Themed Family Suite | Sleeps 5 | 1 bedroom | Resort |
Family fit5 in one key is possible in exactly one category, the Themed Family Suite · a party of 6 needs two
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.
