Good Buffet Variety
While sometimes repetitive, the main buffet often receives positive remarks for its overall variety, quality, and freshness, with specific commendation for breakfast choices.
Noisy Buffet Dining Experience
The main buffet restaurant is often criticized for being noisy, crowded, and having a "canteen-like" atmosphere, which can detract from the dining experience and lead to queues.
Subpar All-Inclusive Drinks
Many guests express disappointment with the quality and limited selection of all-inclusive alcoholic beverages, especially the wines and cocktails, which are often perceived as low standard.
Poor Beach and Isolated Location
The immediate area around the resort is quiet, and the nearby beach is typically described as stony, unsuitable for swimming, or under redevelopment, making a car or shuttle necessary for exploration.
Slippery Pool Tiles & Cold Water
A significant safety concern is the extremely slippery tiles around the pool areas, which are prone to causing falls; additionally, some guests report unheated or cold pool water.
Sunbed Availability Issues
Securing a sunbed can be challenging due to early morning reservations by other guests, indicating a need for better management of pool area seating.

Golf access is the defining feature of Alua Atlántico Golf Resort. The property sits directly between Golf del Sur and Amarilla Golf, both rated courses on Tenerife's southern coast, and guests receive discounted rates at both. No other all-inclusive in Tenerife offers this combination — beachfront location plus walkable access to two golf courses. If you're a golfer, this is a meaningful reason to choose here over the larger resorts in Costa Adeje.
For non-golfers, the resort competes on its seafront promenade access and pool setup. Six pools including two adult-only outdoor options, a children's splash park, and a heated indoor pool give enough variety that the property feels less crowded than the numbers suggest. The nearby Atlantic coastline has a pebble/shingle beach about 150–350 meters away, with natural rock pools that are popular for snorkeling — not a swimming beach in the conventional sense, but good for exploring.
Families with children are genuinely well catered for here. The Astro Club runs daily for ages 4–12, a dedicated children's splash pool with water slides operates during pool hours, and the teen club handles older kids. Adults wanting quiet have two adult-only pools separated from the family zone. The balance works better than at many family resorts.
Full renovation in 2021 means rooms are in good condition across all 454 units. Six dining options including two buffets, two themed à la carte options, and two poolside snack venues give more variety than a single-buffet setup. The My Favourite Club tier adds exclusive lounge access and reserved areas. Airport to property is 10 km, about 15 minutes from Tenerife South Airport.
Peak season for Tenerife is December–April; summer is also busy but windier on the south coast.
