Tenerife (Golf del Sur, San Miguel de Abona), Spain
Rating8.1
Rating6.6
Rating6.6Activities split between daytime sports and an evening entertainment programme that is genuinely a strong point of this resort. The nightly shows in the Grand Theatre — original productions like 'Drago' and 'Toy Circus' — consistently get highlighted in guest reviews as better than typical all-inclusive entertainment. Daytime options cover standard all-inclusive sports (volleyball, aerobics, aqua aerobics, tennis, mini-golf) plus an above-average teen programme. Most activities are walk-in; show reservations can be made via the app.
Several large freshwater pools at the resort's centre, suitable for all ages. Heated in winter months. Busy during peak afternoon hours — arrive by 9am to secure preferred lounger positions. The pool deck slipperiness is a recurring guest complaint; sandals are advisable even when walking poolside.
18+ only. The quietest water area on the property. Sea views. An adjacent bar serves drinks without leaving the pool. If you're travelling as a couple or adults-only group, this pool makes the resort considerably more manageable. Not large — maybe 15–20 loungers in the surrounding area.
Two dedicated pools for younger guests. Shallow and heated year-round. Safe for non-swimmers. Located near the Kids Club area.
On-site waterpark with slides (1.2m height minimum for the larger slides), tipping buckets, and water jets. Castle-themed. The 1.2m height restriction excludes younger toddlers from the main slides — factor this in if you have children under 5. The smaller splash area has no height restriction.
Shared plunge pools accessible from the terraces of the Swim Up Junior Suites. Adults-only guests only. Small — roughly pool-bar sized. More of a private access amenity than a swimming pool.
700 metres from the resort. Pebble, not sand. Atlantic wave exposure means swimming conditions vary. The hotel does not run services here. Some water sports operators (kayaking, scuba) work from this stretch. Honest assessment: not a beach holiday beach.
The nearest proper sandy beach is roughly 8 km away, accessible by taxi (approximately €15 each way) or local bus. Las Americas and Los Cristianos offer standard resort-style sandy beaches with sun lounger rental and water sports. Plan as a half-day excursion rather than a daily routine.
On-site mini-golf course. Walk-in, no extra charge. Good for families between pool sessions.
Equipment available at the sports area. Walk-in, included.
Daily daytime classes, included. Standard all-inclusive fitness activity.
Pool-based classes, included. Popular with guests who want activity without the heat.
Multi-purpose sports court, walk-in. Casual use, no reservation required.
Daily sessions, included. Lower-intensity fitness option.
Court and pool volleyball available. Walk-in, included.
Morning sessions typically, included. One of the quieter activity options on-site.
Air-conditioned gym with cardio machines and free weights. Included. Open daily.
Open 10am–8pm, included. Supervised programme with arts and crafts, pizza-making, sports, and movie nights. The magician greeting at check-in is a memorable touch for younger children. One of the better-organised kids clubs in the Canary Islands all-inclusive market.
Open 10am–11pm, included. Billiards, foosball, video consoles, DJ nights. The extended hours mean teenagers can socialise after the main evening shows.
Daily, included. For younger children before bedtime. Usually precedes the main evening show.
Original nightly productions in the Grand Theatre. Included. Shows like 'Drago,' 'Toy Circus,' and 'Imox' are consistently cited as highlights of the stay. Reserve via the resort app; popular shows fill up.
Evening performances in the lobby cocktail bar area. Included.
Free entry, local drinks included. ID required. Runs after the main entertainment programme ends.

Bachata and Salsa classes offered during the activity programme. Included. Popular with guests who want to try local dances.

Available on request at an hourly extra charge. Book through reception; limited availability — arrange in advance for specific evenings.
Off-site guided dives arranged through the hotel, extra charge. Tenerife has reasonable dive sites in the south.
Hotel can arrange Siam Park tickets with transport. Extra charge. Siam Park (about 20 minutes away) is one of the best waterparks in Europe — worth the excursion if you have older kids who want proper slides beyond the on-site splash park.
Excursions to Teide National Park, extra charge. The cable car to the summit requires booking well in advance separately if you want the top.
Occasional premium productions may carry an extra entrance charge. Check the activity schedule on arrival.
