Pros:

La piscina

Cons:

La comida de baja calidad, las bebidas del todo incluido un desastre , no tenían pajitas para los cócteles, todas las bebidas normales tenían coste adicional , la animación muy escueta solo el bailarín del aquadance daba la talla, las instalaciones de ocio ( parque infantil , sala de juegos , pista de tenis , billares) todo deteriorado , el hotel necesita urgentemente una remodelación total

Pros:

Расположение отеля возле океана, вид с балкона на горы, город красивый.

Cons:

Старая мебель, царапины на краске повсюду, стены уже рыжие хотя должны были быть белые, запах стариков и колени упирались в стену, когда сидишь на унитазе)

An der Rezeption, freundlich und im Restaurant war das Personal sehr freundlich. Es lohnte sich all inclusive gebucht zu haben. Grosses Buffet mit sehr viel Auswahl, Morgens/Mittags und Abends. Ich bekam eine Suite mit Ausblick aufs Meer und Teide.
Ruhige Lage, Einkaufszentrum um die Ecke und bis zum Plaza del Charco 15min zu Fuss.

Wohnzimmer, Schlafzimmer und Badezimmer waren kalt, es gab keine Heizung.

Pros:

Sehr zentral und strandnah gelegen, schöne Garten- und Poolanlage

Cons:

*Zimmer mit Meerblick im 13. Stock hat zwar sehr schöne Aussicht auf die nahe, tosende Brandung und den Surferstrand - ist aber sehr laut! - Durchgehend mindestens 60 Dezibel am Balkon und bei offenem Fenster - 30 dB bei geschlossenem Fenster. Nur für absolute Fans!

* leider harte Kopfpölster

Hotel was ok, but food was the worst ever
Pros:

My partner and I stayed at Bahia Principe Sunlight San Felipe on an all-inclusive package.

The hotel itself looked decent, the room was clean, and staff were friendly. We knew the jacuzzi and heated pool cost extra, but were surprised it was €50 per hour for two people and that the spa wasn’t actually part of the hotel. Annoying, but manageable.

The real issue was the food. It was, without exaggeration, the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. I enjoy buffets and have very low standards when it comes to food — I rarely complain — but this was on another level. Choices were limited, and much of the food was simply inedible. Meat was undercooked or overcooked, either bland or excessively salty. Some dishes clearly seemed reheated multiple times: vegetables were mush, meat rock-hard, fish dry and tough. On several occasions I had to spit food out because it was impossible to chew.

We were offered one à la carte meal during our stay, which we hoped would be better. It was worse. The salmon was so hard I spat it out after one bite. We ended up going back to the buffet — which, unbelievably, was less bad by comparison.

After the first few meals, I survived mostly on chips — the only “safe” option. I’ve never eaten so little at a buffet; for the first time ever, meals felt like punishment rather than enjoyment. I dreaded every one but didn’t want to spend extra money after paying for all-inclusive.

There were also food safety concerns: missing or incorrect allergen labels and visible cross-contamination between gluten and non-gluten items.

Drinks were average at best — standard alcohol, cheap substitutes for branded soft drinks. Unfortunately, both my partner and I developed severe diarrhoea that lasted days after the trip, and I vomited once. I stopped drinking alcohol from day three.

Overall, this 4-star hotel was a major disappointment. While the facilities were average, the food completely ruined the experience. Our £1,000 all-inclusive holiday did not feel worth it, and it has genuinely put us off all-inclusive resorts in the future. I would strongly advise others to avoid.

Pros:

Frábær sundlaugagarður. Góður matur. Góð þjónusta og gott starfsfólk. Góð staðsetning.

Cons:

Herbergin þurfa endurbætur sem fyrst. Hörð brakandi rúm. Ónýt húsgögn. Sjónvarp lítið og virkaði illa og stundum ekki.
