Guests consistently praise the extensive and high-quality food, from the diverse buffet to delicious à la carte options, catering well to various tastes including vegetarians.
Exceptional Staff
The majority of staff, especially in restaurants, bars, housekeeping, and animation, are repeatedly highlighted for their amazing, friendly, professional, and attentive service.
Stunning Pools & Gardens
The resort's multiple beautiful pools, including an infinity pool with ocean views, and the meticulously maintained lush gardens contribute significantly to its appealing environment.
Impeccable Cleanliness
The entire property, including all rooms, pools, and common areas, receives consistent acclaim for its spotless condition and very high standards of cleanliness.
Inconsistent Reception
A frequent point of frustration for guests is the perceived curtness, unresponsiveness, and poor communication from some reception staff, impacting check-in and basic assistance.
Dated Rooms & Issues
While clean, many rooms are described as outdated, a little tired, or needing refurbishment, with some specific complaints about bathroom mold and insufficient winter bedding.
Hilly Terrain & Slow Lifts
The resort's clifftop location results in numerous steps and hilly areas, posing a challenge for guests with mobility issues and made worse by slow and sometimes inconvenient lifts.
Remote Location
The hotel's quiet, somewhat remote setting means guests often need to arrange taxis or a rental car for exploring beyond the immediate resort to reach main tourist areas.

The clifftop position is the property's strongest card. The view from the elevated site — Atlantic Ocean to the horizon, La Gomera island visible on clear days — is the kind of geography that Tenerife's Costa Adeje flat-plot hotels can't replicate. The infinity pool facing that view is the most photographed spot at the resort, and the reason most guests choose this property over alternatives at a similar price tier.
The resort opened in 2001 and a refurbishment is scheduled for January 2026. If your travel dates fall during or immediately after the renovation window, confirm completion status and which areas are affected before booking — construction noise and limited facility access during renovation periods at Canary Islands resorts is a documented category of guest complaint. The property should be in improved condition post-refurbishment for guests arriving in the second half of 2026.
This is a family-oriented property that also works for adult couples who want a calm, mid-tier all-inclusive. The Bahia Scouts Kids Club (ages 4–12, structured programming daily) and shared access to Bahia Principe Sunlight Tenerife's facilities extend the activity options, but the resort's entertainment level is moderate compared to larger complexes in the corridor. Guests expecting a high-energy party scene or a vast restaurant variety will find it underwhelming — four on-site restaurants with reservation-required à la carte dinners and a main buffet covers most of the format.
Practically: 505–510 rooms in 3 categories (Standard, Standard Partial Sea View, Junior Suite 484 sq ft). Three outdoor pools plus an infinity pool and an outdoor Jacuzzi. Nearest beach is a rocky pebbled cove 200m away; Playa Las Salinas is a 7-minute walk. Bahia Principe Village (shopping and entertainment complex) accessible on-site. Tenerife South Airport (TFS) 21–25 min by road. Cycling Friendly Silver certified — bikes available and routes organized for guests.
