Hotel-beautiful, with stunning outdoor garden and pool areas.

Rooms - we had a junior suite which was just a bigger room really, not worth

We stayed in the Costa Adeje side of the Hotels and found this to be great. We booked flights and Hotel separate and saved quite a bit off the brochure price.

The Hotel itself is clean and the food was excellent lots of choice. Its location is a bit away from anything but if you go all inclusive you don't want to be paying for things outside of the Hotel.

All in all a great Hotel and would definitley recommend.

This was our second time at this hotel and we can not praise it highly enough.

The food and the cleanliness is fabulous. The choice at meal times is amazing.

The hotel is in a remote area of Tenerife but that suits us, if you are looking for a good standard hotel with nice helpful staff this is the place for you I am sure you will have a good relaxing holiday.

This was the first time I had travelled to an all inclusive hotel....and yes, we were very impressed from the off. From the grand reception hall (with huge domed ceiling) down to the infinity pool and outside jacuzzi...this was the best hotel we've ever stayed in.

The standard of cleanliness is second to none, even the outside lamps along the paths were cleaned every morning.Ok, so the location isn't ideal, but you are on such an enormous complex, you dont need to venture outside the two hotels (you can use standard facilities at sister hotel also, next door) between the the two hotels there are 5 restaurants, although be sure to book speciality restaurants as soon as you arrive as these get booked up very quickly.

The Italian Restaurant (Portofino's) is a better choice for breakfast than the main buffet restaurant as there is more choice...in fact, there is everything you could possibly ask for at breakfast time.... Lunch is better in the main buffet, we changed our minds about going to snack bar as 'the pigeons' were still resident. But the variety and quality of food in buffet restaurant is outstanding.

The all inclusive drinks are fine, and if you find the soft drinks a little flat, you can ask for them at the bar itself (the lobby bar - all incl). The entertainment in all based in The Pueblo Principe (the saquare) across the way from reception, you dont need to go down stairs for all incl drinks as the snack bar in the square supplies them also...same selection...local shorts (which are absolutely fine) wine, lager and soft drinks etc. This also finishes at 11pm unfortunately but you can always pour a few out just before and sit in square chatting with your new friends, and if you want to carry on drinking, the 'nightclub' La Fiesta is open till 3am and drinks are not that expensive 1.50 Euro for a bottle of lager.

The entertainment, which also finishes at 11pm is not too good, in fact, its the only thing wrong with this hotel. The so-called adults entertainment is from 10 - 11pm every night, but its more suitable for the kids really, watching shows and reps dancing, no real live music or dancing in the aisles, could benefit from bands who get you dancing and singing along!!!

We even treated ourselves to a body massage in the hotels spa which lasted 30min and only cost 25 Euros...followed by inside jacuzzi and sauna (all incl) I aslo believe there was squash courts as well.

Would we go there again....already looking at brochure!

The best holiday ever!

First impressions with this hotel were very good. The reception area was very nice and because We arrived late at night we were given a packed lunch. We went to our rooms and then waited for the porters to bring our luggage to our rooms.

The rooms were very clean and spacious.

The pool area and gardens were lovely and well kept and clean. Getting pool loungers was never a problem as there were plenty to go at.

Food wasn't too bad but found it to be pretty much the same each day in the main restaurant although there are themed restraunts like a Mexican and Italian that you can eat at but you need to book these.

The location of the hotel is dire. It's in the middle of nowhere. They do run a service bus from the hotel which cost 4 euros but it goes at 10am and you have to be back by 1pm (3 hours). They do run a free bus that goes to town at 12 midday and brings you back at 5pm but this is when siesta is on. They won't allow you to go on the 10am bus and return on the 5pm bus. You can catch a taxi but these cost 15 euros each way.

Entertainment is poor as far as adult entertainment is concerned. To see the entertainment you have to leave the main hotel and cross over to a square which is decked with chairs and has a few trinket shop around it. Early evening it's geared towards the kids then at 10pm the adult entertainment starts but only lasts for about an hour.

Drinks (inclusive package) are plentyful throughout the day but they do stop serving at 11pm on the dot. If you go to the square for entertainment you have to take a drink from the hotel with you as they don't have free drinks on offer until 10pm, Then this little self service bar opens up for about three quaters of an hour. The guy on the door normally shuts it earlier than he should but to be honest the beer in this place is dire. There is another alternative to get a drink and thats to get a drink from the Sportsmans bar (Sportsmans bar that doesn't have SKY) but you do have to pay from here which does brass you off when all inclusive.

All in all we were not too impressed with the place, It was too isolated and because of the isolation you rely on a good bus service and good entertainment which was poor so we definatly wont be going back.

We stayed in the Adeja part of the hotel and it was fantastic, food was great, the rooms were very large and luxurious.

We had a junior suite, the all inclusive drinks include cocktails and and everything else you can think of that is local brand ,we went to the dunas paraiso the year before and thought that was good but this place is far superior in every way.

We have booked to go next year, the location is a bit out of the way but you can get a bus or a taxi to most places, the entertainment is usual hotal entertainment not really our cup of tea, but all in all a fantastic holiday.

We arrived at the Bahia Principe at 9.30 pm. Check-in was quick and easy. We had emailed prior to going and requested a sea view and high floor in a double room, we got all 3! We also requested an upgrade to the Tenerife section of the hotel wich we could have got the day after but as we were only there a week our original room was excellent so we never bothered.

Pool towels are provided and can be changed every day but you do have to leave 10euros deposit which is returned on check-out.
Safety deposit boxes cost 2 euros per day.

The food in the hotel was OK, not brilliant, but you could always find something to eat. We went into 2 of the a-la-carte restaurants (Chinese and Italian)both were excellent - you got a full half of crispy duck in the chinese one! I read on some reviews that you had to swap 2 for 1 if you wanted to eat in an a la carte which wasn't in your hotel, I don't think this applies anymore as when we booked our two the PR lady asked if we wanted to book another so we used our three up, we could have gone in any we wanted.
You can have breakfast either in the main restaurant or the Italian - we chose the Italian as the food seemed hotter and it was a bit quieter - you could eat outside in either if you wished.
Lunch was in either the main restaurant or the spanish one or the snack bar all were OK.

The pools are great. In the Costa Adeje there are 3 huge pools, the middle one is used for all the games, aerobics etc the other two are quieter. The Tenerife has two pools.

Drinks are a bit sad! The help yourself tables are OK but the soft drinks were always flat! You had to pay for all premium drinks but if you do want these buy them in the hotel, not the bar in the Pueblo Principe entertainment area as a Jack Daniels and coke in the hotel was 2.30 euros compared to 7.50 in the outside bar!

The bars do close dead on 11pm for alcoholic drinks but soft drinks are on 24hrs as are snacks but after midnight you have to go back over to the Pueblo Principe, which if you are staying in blocks 3,4,5 or 6 is a long walk!!

The entertainment was OK not the best but the animation team worked hard day and night.

In the Puebloe Principe square where all the entertainmet was there was a few shops and a bouncy castle for the kids also a sweet stall.

The rooms were huge! All with big balconies and were kept spotlessly clean by the maids. The toilet is seperated off by swing doors and there are his n her sinks which was pretty cool!!

I think a week or ten days is long enough to stay in the Bahia Principe as everything starts getting a bit repetitive as there is literally nowhere to go in the evening but for a chilled out week it was great.

All in all we had a nice time and would go back.

Having recently returned from our second visit to the Bahia Principe, I thought I would post a review on a hotel that we think is fabulous and to assist anybody considering a holiday here, or anybody wishing to return.

If you are looking for a hotel with a typical British booze fuelled party atmosphere then I'm sorry, this is not the place for you!

If you are looking for a high quality hotel with an excellent choice of food and drink in a very relaxing atmosphere, then this is the place for you!

Since our last visit in July 2004, we think the evening entertainment, although not brilliant, has improved dramatically. The live music on the Lobby Bar Terrace now has different acts as opposed to the same duo all of the time and the Pueblo Principe entertainment is also more varied. Another improvement we noticed during our second week was the addition of a self-service all-inclusive bar for beer, soft drinks and spirits in the Pueblo Principe during the evening entertainment, this means no going to the lobby bar for drinks and also cutting the queues at the lobby bar.

Having read other reviews on this hotel we find it hard to agree with some of the negative points mentioned. All I can say is that we have returned to this hotel after a 2 year gap and once again had an excellent time. There are also many other repeat guests who feel exactly the same. If anything, I feel the standards in this hotel have improved!!!

We will definitely be returning!!

Bahia Principe Adeje, We arrived late at night at were greeted by friendly check-in staff and were given a small packed lunch as we had missed out on the evening meal.

It took us only about 30 mins transfer from the Airport and on first impressions we were impressed with what we saw. The rooms are large and clean and when we asked for extra pillows they were delivered as soon as possible.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner menu's were ok and there is a lot of choice. The hotel is miles from anywhere though and a taxi ride into Fanabe will cost you about 15 Euros (

Hotel was fantastic. Was here in April with some friends and booked straight away when I got home to come with the family. Hotel was spotless. There was always maids cleaning everywhere you went.

Food was brilliant. Mexican and Fish restaurants were great. Recommend to book speciality restaurants as soon as you arrive because they get booked very quickly in high seaon.

Hotel staff were always very polite and friendly.

Entertainment was fine for young children up to about 12. Only complaint was that you had to go down two flights of stairs to get your drinks.

Would definitely visit again.
