Iberostar Hotels & Resorts (implied)
Iberostar Waves Las Dalias (the current brand name for what was previously Iberostar Las Dalias) is a 4-star all-inclusive property in Costa Adeje, the upmarket end of Tenerife's southern resort strip. The 429-room tower sits 10 minutes on foot from Playa del Bobo Beach and 13–15 minutes by car from Tenerife South Airport — one of the more convenient airport-to-resort journeys in the Canaries.
The property caters clearly to families with children, though it maintains an adults-only terrace for guests who want separation. The Star Camp is the strongest family amenity: three age-segmented clubs (Miniclub 4–7, Maxiclub 8–12, Teenclub 13–17) run programming from room escapes and cooking challenges to inflatable obstacle courses and master chef competitions. The Teenclub has its own dedicated space and program rather than folding teens into a younger children's environment.
Dining centers on the Danae Buffet Restaurant, which reviewers consistently rate well for variety and quality within the single-restaurant all-inclusive format. Themed dinners with show cooking stations appear nightly — Canarian, Asian, Mexican rotations keep the menu from feeling repetitive. The poolside Snack Bar provides casual lunch and afternoon options. Four bars handle beverages throughout the day and evening.
The pool count is higher than it appears: four pools total, including a main pool, children's pool, two larger general pools, and an adults-only plunge pool on a separate terrace — though labeling varies across sources. One pool is heated between November and May, making the property genuinely usable in shoulder season, which matters in Tenerife's year-round mild climate.
Guests who want specialty à la carte restaurants will be disappointed — Danae buffet is the only dinner format. The snack bar between meals is limited. Room size at 215 square feet base is compact for longer stays.
