Exceptional Staff
Guests consistently praise the staff for their professionalism, attentiveness, and friendly service across all departments, making for a welcoming experience.
Modern Luxury & Ambiance
The recent full renovation provides a fresh, clean, and genuinely luxurious adults-only environment with contemporary design and a peaceful atmosphere.
High-Quality Food Variety
The diverse and delicious culinary offerings, particularly the buffet with themed nights and the quality of ingredients, are frequently highlighted as a major strength.
Clean & Comfortable Rooms
The hotel maintains impeccable cleanliness throughout, and rooms are consistently lauded for being spacious, modern, and featuring comfortable memory foam beds.
Stunning Ocean Views
The clifftop location offers breathtaking panoramic ocean views, providing a picturesque backdrop for relaxation by the pools.
Half-Board Drink Costs
Guests on a half-board plan frequently express frustration over being charged for drinks, including water, during dinner, a detail often poorly communicated.
Secluded Location & Beach Access
While offering tranquility, the hotel's clifftop location means there is no immediate beach access, requiring transport to reach better swimming spots.
Sunbed Availability
Popular sunbeds, especially those with sea views or Balinese beds, can fill up quickly, necessitating early arrival to secure a preferred spot.
Inconsistent Service
Although overall service is excellent, isolated reports of slow or inconsistent service at the pool bar suggest potential minor staffing issues at times.

The Bahia Principe Luxury Tenerife is not a renovation—it's a full repositioning. The former Bahia Principe Tenerife (family-friendly, opened 2001) is reopening in December 2025 as a dedicated adults-only (16+) property under the Luxury brand, with 268 redesigned rooms, new restaurant concepts, and a visual identity built around Tenerife's volcanic and Atlantic coastal character. It becomes the first adults-only Bahia Principe in the Canary Islands.
The clifftop location in Playa Paraiso, Costa Adeje provides panoramic Atlantic Ocean views and is within a 3-minute walk of Playa Las Salinas—a small beach that is closer than typical for Canary Islands clifftop hotels. The 'Club' room category unlocks access to a private infinity pool, which combined with the clifftop position, is the property's most distinctive visual asset.
Cross-property access with the adjacent Bahia Principe Sunlight Costa Adeje is included for Luxury Tenerife guests—bars, à la carte restaurants (excluding buffets), and adult-only pool areas. This is a meaningful extension of dining variety given the relatively small number of on-site specialty restaurants.
One practical note: all-inclusive guests receive one à la carte dinner reservation per seven-night stay at the standard rate. Guests planning a week-long stay with specialty dining nightly will need to either upgrade or accept the buffet for most evenings. Confirm the current policy at check-in as the property is reopening and policies may be refined.
The hotel is approximately 25 km (25–40 minutes) from Tenerife South Airport (TFS). Costa Adeje has buses and reasonable taxi fares for guests who want to explore the wider resort strip, but the resort's hilltop location means car rental is the most practical option for extended island exploration.
