I was not sure how to rate this hotel. We had ajoining rooms on the non Royal Level. Therefore I would say at best this is a 4 star hotel. We asked for higher floor rooms in a quiet location as it was our honeymoon. We got given floor 1 facing main pool ! Once I had fixed the patio doors they wer...

Lovely hotel with helpful and friendly staff. Lorraine the chef who did the ‘origins’ breakfasts was great and explained all the authentic dishes well. It was lovely to have an option different to the eggs and bacon etc. the hotel is in a quiet area which I enjoyed. There are lots of walks nearby an...

We’re currently staying at Barceló Tenerife on an all-inclusive trip and honestly, it’s been such a great experience so far. We booked two adjoining rooms as we’re here with my dad and my husband, and the hotel staff were so helpful — they even arranged for the two single beds to be made into a prop...

I had the most incredible time at Barcelo Tenerife. I was worried after reading lots of negative reviews about the food but I could find no fault at all! I spoke to several people over the holiday who also moaned about the food but I think the moral of the story is if you dont like the nature of a ...

What's actually included

What the all-inclusive plan covers at Barceló Tenerife

The line between “all-inclusive” and “all-inclusive except the good stuff” is where trips get expensive. Here's what's genuinely covered — and what still costs extra.

Partly included
Wi-Fi
Official FAQ states internet connection is free.

Costs extra
Airport transfers
No official inclusion found for airport transfers.
Costs extra

Inclusions change and vary by room category and season — always confirm with the resort before booking. How we verify this.

The Daily Reality

Food, pools & the beach itself

Where you'll actually spend the week — how many places there are to eat and drink, what the pool scene offers, and what the water in front of the resort is really like.

Dining & bars

4 restaurants4 bars local Canarian · Italian · rice dishes · buffet

Official page describes local proposals, a rice-specialty restaurant and an Italian trattoria; British Airways lists four restaurants and four bars.

Pools & waterplay

7 poolsKids' pool

Official page states seven outdoor pools, including one children's pool and one heated pool, plus an artificial lake.

The beach itself

Swimmable — some wavesNo sargassum (outside the Atlantic belt)

Official page says Los Abrigos beach is a few minutes' walk away; this is more a coastal nature-reserve resort than a classic sand-beach resort.

Venue counts come from the resort's own pages; beach conditions draw on monitoring data and consistent traveler reports — the sea doesn't read press releases, so treat seasonal notes as odds, not promises.

For Families

Taking the kids to Barceló Tenerife?

A family week turns on the details brochures skip — whether the kids' club is genuinely supervised, who watches the baby on date night, and whether four of you fit in one room. Here's what we've verified.

Pros

  • Seven official outdoor pools.
  • Strong guest scores on Expedia and Booking.com.
  • Excellent nature-reserve and activity setting.

Cons

  • Not a classic beach-front all-inclusive experience.
  • Some guests mention rooms showing age.
  • Location is quieter and less walkable than resort-town hotels.

Things to know

  • This is a Tenerife resort with an optional all-inclusive package, not a default all-inclusive-only hotel.
  • The strongest fit is travelers who want a polished pool resort beside the San Blas Environmental Reserve.
  • It is better for nature, pools and quiet than for nightlife or a classic sand-beach vacation.

Hidden tips

  • Compare standard rooms with Royal Level if pool access, premium drinks and quieter service matter.
