Holidays to Golf del Sur

David Hancock

A fabulous four days. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. Great food. bar, lunch and dinner offering a small menu but well presented, tasty food and drinks at good prices. Breakfast perfect for a day in or a day out. Great room, stylishly simple, immaculately clean and cleaned everyday. Clean / cold pool. Super location for venturing into the town to explore / shop. Guests very friendly, courteous and respectful. I'm just envious of the kite surfers. Thank you Playa Sur team.

Small rooms without airconditioning, which is unacceptable in these temperatures in the Caranians. Small balcony. Poor breakfast, with few fresh fruits and vegetables. No fresh fruit juices. Limited menu and small portions. A lot of noice due to noice in the corridor and overflying airplanes every 5 minutes. Expensive room prices in comparison with the rest of the island of Tenerife. No gym room and no free pool towels for hotel guests. You can not walk around in the hotel with your wetsuit. So for surfers, kiters and windsurfers, not an ideal location. You can hang your wetsuit next to the pool, but they do not guarantee it won’t be stolen… And only one friendly and young staff member behind the desk at the entrance. Bizar for a surf and sportive hotel. They should become more friendly and luxurious for the price they ask. I was disappointed.

Lovely stay. Hotel has fabulous location. Just a short walk takes you to the main square by the beach. Rooms modern with a great shower and comfy pillows/beds. Breakfast more than adequate plenty of choice.

This is one of my favourite hotels. We come and stay for a few days each year enjoying the hotel but also the atmosphere of El Medano. The hotel's restaurant/ cafe along the Boardwalk is a great place to eat.

Location-wise this hotel is perfect but the staff makes this more than a perfect hotel. From the extremely friendly helpful ladies at the reception to the nice girls at the bar to the impeccable cleaning of the rooms. That's the main reason why I keep visiting this hotel. For me price/quality worthy!

Our room was beautiful and spacious, we had a great view over the sea and beautiful sunrises and lighting. The bed was comfortable. Staff was very friendly. The mountings in the bathroom were old and very used. Breakfast was ok: it was plenty but felt like canteen kitchen food.

Honest review, I liked it here, thought the hotel was great needs a little updating here and there, but what hotel doesn't. The location is great especially for golfers (I'm not) just wanted a few days of sun and peace which we got from here. Close to airport, bus transfer really quick and easy. Straight to the door. Breakfast had everything u could wish for, really nice. We used the spa which was really good too and a fair price.

Hotel Tenerife Golf & Sea View – A Fantastic Stay! Before booking, I read some great reviews, along with a few slightly negative ones. Am I glad I listened to the positive ones? Absolutely! Just a ten-minute taxi ride from the airport, you’ll find yourself in a self-contained little village where you could easily stay, eat, drink, and relax until it’s time to leave. Located at the bottom of San Miguel de Abona, the hotel is less than two minutes away from a well-stocked supermarket with fresh produce, local tourist shops, a pharmacy, and fantastic bars and restaurants catering to all tastes. The hotel itself is well-kept, with professional staff who are friendly, smiling, and polite. Airlines even house their staff here, which says a lot! As we visited at the start of the season, I can’t comment on how busy the sun loungers get, but we always found a place to relax and soak up the sun. They provide towels and lounger mats, making it easy for sun-seekers to enjoy their day. There are two pools—one for toddlers—but unfortunately, it wasn’t heated during our stay, so we couldn’t take our baby in. However, I enjoyed a refreshing dip throughout our visit. The views are breathtaking, and the recently built walkways make exploring nearby villages easy and enjoyable—perfect for someone like me who loves to get out and about. Our room was a superior double with a sea view—absolutely stunning! It was clean, well-presented, and comfortable. The TV, kettle, and a fridge that actually keeps things cold were great for storing snacks while settling our baby for a nap. Now, the bar and restaurant—wow! Honestly, one of the best I’ve experienced in any hotel worldwide for a B&B package. The breakfast, lunch, and bar snack options were varied and delicious. You can sit inside or outside to start your day, and once again, the staff were incredibly accommodating. Would I recommend staying here? Yes! Would I come back? Without a doubt! A huge thank you to the hotel for accepting our request for a cot—it made our stay even smoother. For that, and everything else, 10/10! (I did sadly hear maybe a adult only hotel soon so if so cant go back)

Friendly, relaxed, and clean hotel that is situated in a fantastic location on the edge of Golf de Sur resort. This is the second time I have been and recommend it for those wanting a quiet (winter sun) getaway. The staff are excellent and always happy to help. Rooms are a bit dated (mainly the bathroom), but this doesn't detract from the whole experience. The beds are very comfortable. The hotel has won sustainability awards, which is important to me as I want to support businesses that are making this effort.

Me & my husband had a lovely 3 night stay here, staff were so friendly especially front desk, shops and restaurants across the road and the pool/sun lounge area was perfect. We only had breakfast at the hotel but it was lovely, lots on offer and never seemed too busy so no waiting for any special orders that where cooked fresh in front of you. I was a little disappointed as I had paid for an upgraded room but don’t feel I got that, although the room was still very big & nice so didn’t bother saying anything to reception. I wouldn’t say it’s a hotel I’d take my children too but for a couple who just want to escape from everyday crazy life it was perfect 😍 thank you

If Carlsberg did hotels . . . Excellent in every respect. The staff throughout the complex were so friendly and helpful, (special mention to Julia in the Spa and all the reception staff especially Carmel/Carmen and a very tall gentleman who spent the holiday writing directions for me on maps!) The food was delicious, fresh and varied, and for those, like my husband who likes his mouth burnt off, there are microwaves. We didn’t book the speciality restaurants because we were only staying for a short time and they were booked, but we could have if there had been a free slot, for €15 per head, which is still incredible value. (They are free in the inclusive package if you are staying for at least a week). Everywhere, inside and out, was scrupulously clean and the cleaning staff were very courteous and friendly. We had access to a lovely quiet lounge where there were nibbles, drinks, tea, coffee, and a lovely calm atmosphere, which we really appreciated. I’ve no idea why we qualified for this treat, but we appreciated it! An absolute gem of a find, and hopefully we’ll return soon. We frequently stay in Tenerife and have never had a bad experience but this hotel was a definite 5* and ten minutes from the airport.

We booked 6 nights all inclusive at the Alua Atlantico. Checking etc was all very good and smooth, when we tried to book one of the a la carte restaurants of which there are three we were told as we were only there 6 nights we were not 'eligible' you have to be there 7 nights! There was an alternative... Pay €15 per person for the restaurant of choice. The buffet restaurant did provide a wide array of food, including a salad table, two soup dishes, pasta dishes plus two dishes cooked whilst you wait. There was always something you could find to eat but sometimes the food was lukewarm from being out too long. A wide selection of desserts were also available Rooms were clean, well looked after very the cleaning staff, the bar staff were always attentive to your needs when supplying the all inclusive drinks Entertainment was a bit mediocre and having to sit through a junior disco thrashing out some music was sometimes painful. As the holiday was booked only a few weeks before, it served the purpose of a relaxing / recharge the batteries holiday. Would we return? Probably not.

Exceptionally clean room. The rooms had everything I needed. I didn't notice the fridge until I left though. The easy to pull out drying rails on the balcony were a nice thought too. The rooms were cleaned to a very high standard every day and tea & coffee topped up. The nice touch of two free bottles of water were appreciated. There was also cold water available from dispensers around the hotel. All the staff I came across were so friendly & efficient. I was all-inclusive and the food was amazing with a very wide choice with daily changes to the menus. I saw a lot of negative reviews about food not being hot enough, which is just not true. And anyway, I saw at least one easily accessible microwave to heat to required liking if necessary. The facilities were superb. I used the indoor pool every day. There was always available sun beds and outside pools were lovely. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel and hope to come back again one day.

Kevin Weir

Very clean room, cleaned every day. The hotel is clean and well kept. More than enough sun beds to go around. There’s enough choice of food, so you can find something for everyone, tea, coffee, snacks and drinks available all day. We were there for 11 days and enjoyed our stay, we spent a lot of it at the adult pool, as we went without kids. It was quieter, for us.

Horatiu B

Wonderful hotel - spotlessly clean all around including the he room, bathrooms, pool area. Good size bedroom for 2 adults and one child. Cleaned every day and fresh towels. Food was excellent, always something you will like. Pools are fantastic. The entertainment team - excelent! Good job guys and thank you for keeping up busy with different activities all day long. Overall a lovely holiday, well organized, friendly staff. Thank you everyone!

Huge resort with great staff and only 10 mins from airport. Regular planes overhead but can't say they bothered us. Advertised as 5 star but only just 4 star in most areas. Bathrooms need updating. Rooms adequate but clean. Royal level worth paying more for with regards to food service and pool options but pool area only open for towel change/drinks at 11am. Far too late. No rush for sunbeds & plenty available. Dolce Vita restaurant was lovely. Food is fine but self service hotplate food always luke warm. Mugs in room don't fit under coffee maker so totally pointless. Numerous cockroaches in bathroom first night so moved to a lake view room, but so many midges outside we couldn't use the balcony. Would we return? No. Resort much too big for us, minibar chargeable if you want it restocked - even though all inclusive, Royal level isn't adults only and we'd prefer places to walk to as it's a resort with nothing to do nearby. Staff outshone the resort

I needed a relaxing getaway while working remotely, and Barceló Tenerife was the perfect place for it. The staff was wonderful across the board, but I especially want to commend the gentleman at Breeze Bar who served me every time—he was phenomenal! I loved the variety of free daily activities, along with the opportunity to go on excursions. The spa was absolutely perfect, and the food was excellent. I can't wait to return soon with my husband! Two suggestions that could enhance the resort experience: - Cleaning of public areas: I noticed quite a bit of dust and spiderwebs, particularly in my room, common areas, and at Buffet Drago. - Service at Buffet Drago during dinner: I came across other reviews mentioning slow service during dinner, and I experienced it myself. Having worked in the service industry, I completely understand that dinner is the busiest time. I even saw what seemed to be the manager and bar staff stepping in to help, which shows great teamwork. However, it might help to have additional staff scheduled during the dinner rush to improve service efficiency.

Stayed here for 6 nights, absolutely lovely staff very attentive and knowledgeable about the resort. Enterainment was very good, particularly the Barry White tribute and the Freddie Mercury tribute. Luca was fantastic, always friendly and informative. Jamel was very efficient and served us promptly. The rooms were nice and spacious, and toiletries were high quality. Breakfast and lunch are very good but dinner could do with some focus. The heated pool is fantastic, however it did get quite windy. 5/5 ⭐️

Brilliant hotel, initially it felt like a maze but once we figured out where to go it was fun. Lots of walking around inside the hotel. The food was nice and they had themed nights at Drogo. Every night there would be some show and evenings fun masterclasses on local themes including making barraquito coffee, aqua gym in the pools, wine tasting, bingo, kayaking etc. There was an acrobatic performance one night. The animation team is incredible!! The Barcelo app imo is a very nice thing they have, it also lets you order from housekeeping or booking dinner breakfast inside the hotel. I think on the website all inclusive can be defined better(does not include the ala carte hotels). The staff was friendly and helpful. Metered taxis from the TFS airport is approx 20euro. The area is quiet and far from the heavily tourist areas like costa adeje.

We stayed here for a few days in March 2025 for our babymoon and had a lovely time! Just wanted to relax, eat and do nothing:) Positives: - the resort is beautifully designed! Lots of pools and therefore lots of quite places around the pools to relax. - the room was very nice and spacious! The bed very big and comfortable with lots of pillows. Each balcony has a nice view! Big bathroom with bath and big towels! Overall very good!! - enough bars through the resort where you can get drinks all day long. We stayed all-inclusive and therefore had all the drinks all-inclusive too. We enjoyed the cocktails, mocktails, soda’s, wine and beers. They weren’t shy with their serving portions and good service! - many activities during the day and entertainment at night around the resort, or you could book excursions through them. - big pool towels, which you can easily swap for new ones Some points of improvement: - the food at the buffet restaurant wasn’t anything special.. we didn’t have the royal level or tried any of the a la carte restaurants so couldn’t tell you how they are. But the buffet was quite average. Don’t go here if you are looking for good food during your stay. Some of the foods weren’t tasty or any good and there were not that many options. Every night they have a different theme but it’s just a very small section, the rest is every night pretty much the same. Although did find some nice things every meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner). And the chefs made sure nothing went empty and was filled up quickly during the meal times. - Also the snacks; very poor. Wasn’t any good and everyday the same junkfood - reserving pool beds….. there are signs everywhere throughout the resort that you are not allowed to reserve the sunbeds but many people did. And we were only in low season, there were plenty of beds available anyway… but sometimes the good ones were left ‘empty’ for a few hours during the day because people left their stuff on it. Disappointing that the staff didn’t do anything, even when they have this rule and the signs say so. - just one of the pools is heated 🙈 so it was more busy at that pool to swim at. But not everyone mind I guess - keep in mind that airplanes fly over all day because the airport is obviously close by.

The hotel's location was perfect, with stunning views of the ocean and easy access to the beach. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The food was delicious and varied, and I especially loved the themed dinners. I would highly recommend the Barceló Tenerife to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious vacation

Annika W.

Awesome crew / staff. Everyone is super friendly. Especially Victoria with her positive attitude is trying everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Lovely to sit at the waterfront for breakfast and dinner. What I found strange is that there is not even one free soft drink / water with the dinner, if you are not all inclusive. If you booked a sea view room, make sure to stay at a show or bar late, because otherwise you will anyway hear everything of the parties going on in the Plaza area. The animation team of active is also incredible. Can only recommend to attend the one or other workshop.

Having a wonderful stay at Royal Hideaway, excellent breakfast, and food all around has been great, a nice Italian restaurant, and another buffet one on the other side of hotel, staff are all super friendly and helpful and a special mention to Justina, always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend as a whole.

Ph.

Great hotel, with good food and very good drinks. Royal level benefits are awesome, like breakfast and dinner with sea view. Staff was also very friendly. Pool selection is nice. However, bathroom sinks and water taps could use an overhaul. Also, the neighbouring town is very loud and annoying. Will probably visit again in the future.

Doris Lagae

Wonderful, service excellent, food super ! We loved that it was outside the busy areas of Tenerife, will surely book again in the Barcelo hotels
