Bahia Principe Costa Adeje

i have been to the bahia principe hotel and i think its one of the best hotels i have been to, the food was fantastic there was something different to eat every night, the staff was very polite, the rooms was always clean the same for the rest of the hotel. as it was all inclusive the bar was always open for drinks and snacks, the entertainment was great there was always something on, and i think it desearves a 5* while i was there i never left the hotel once as there was no need, cant wait to go back next year recommend it to every 1

Live on Tenerife - decided to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary on the island. Liked the idea of all inclusive even though we are not big drinkers. The Reception - very welcoming. The junior suite - very inviting. The food - a great selection to suite everyone's taste. Restaurants - well run. The a la carte restaurants - ok. We went to the fish restaurant - could have been a little better. The bar on the main terrace - was ok - help yourself to many of the drinks; a bit of a free for sometimes. The cocktails were poor. Coffee / tea on tap - good. But no c / t facilities in the suite. Pool area lovely although the tannoyed music (for aqua classes, etc|) deafening. Entertainment as one as come to expect and the Motown Sound was great - should have lasted twice as long. We would go back to this hotel again which is unusual for us because we are a bit picky. Our limit is 3 days in any hotel so this break fitted the bill perfectly.

We travel to the sun three times a year (always 4* or more if we can!,and this hotel is the best all rounder we have stayed in.
HOTEL
Views are spectacular all over. Pools and grounds area also beautiful, botanical garden style. Public areas well kept and pretty. Rooms big enough, and well kept with nice touches from housekeeping (flowers made from toilet roll!)  
ATMOSPHERE
The hotel is 4*sup and the adjoining sister hotel Bahia Principe Tenerife, (which you can use the facilities of)is 5*. The buildings are hacienda style, fantasy like but not tacky. What appealed to me is that the hotel lives up to the ranking without the pretentious air of some 4/5* hotels, and maintains the 'alive and happy' vibe that is usually lost when you go from 3 to 4 star - especially when it comes to catering for children. This is mainly due to the fantastic entertainment team. They have both adults and children catered for night and day, with the usual stuff but done very well. There's a touch of a caribbean cruise vibe to the whole set up. Importantly, for a large hotel which was at full capacity, it didn't seem over crowded and we didn't experience any queueing problems. The staff were all pleasant and helpful.
ENTERTAINMENT
All day around the pool, for adults and kids. Our son is 5. He was delighted.  They did two shows including Grease during the week, which we saw on stage in the evening. They went to the beach. There was plenty of supervision. I was really impressed.  Evening entertainment was a mix of in house and professional acts. As hotel entertainment goes it was pretty good, one or two dodgy ones but that doesn't bother me, our son was glued to it, even the in house shows were fun - again, down to the good team.  
FOOD
Food was very good to excellent, especially compared to other AI hotels I have stayed in.  Good selection and well presented. Lunch menu was sometimes better than dinner.  Here I draw another comparison to cruising, you could eat 24/7. They had a snack bar open from 12mn to 8am when all else was closed! I hadn't seen that before. Also, it wasn't difficult to get at the food and drink, you could help your self to nearly everything all day long, including champagne.  
DOWNSIDES
I am hard pushed to find any, but I will be picky for the sake of the review.  Obvious one, pretty remote resort, playa paraiso is walking dista

We have just returned from a weeks stay at the Bahia Principe Costa Adeje! We had a fantastic time, our most enjoyable holiday ever! The place was great. We knew it was in a remote location but this suited our need lots of rest and relaxation. The food was amazing lots of choice and we prefered the buffet rather than the a-la carte restraunts. We had a lovely suite with whirlpool jacuzzi well worth the extra money! The staff we extremly friendly and effecient. The place was spotless everywhere. Would highly recomend.

Overall a very enjoyable stay in the excellent hotel in June 2006.

Staff very pleasant and helpful. Rooms and facilities also excellent. Good variety in buffet style food, slightly let down by two things - no insectaflash present, therefore flies around food area. Also pidgeons came into main restaurant the odd time, but were constant visitors to pool bar (on the bar itself looking for bread etc.)

Pools large and very clean, with surrounding areas washed down daily. Beautifully maintained gardens.

Location a bit remote. Shuttle bus operates to Las Americas 3 times daily at €4 per adult return, (free at certain times) but must be booked in advance. Otherwise taxi costs €12 to €15 each way.

Entertainment program most nights.

Would definitely return again.

The Bahia Principe was my first experience of a large hotel and of an all inclusive resort, however with a 8 month old baby in tow it seemed the ideal solution for two slightly weary parents looking for some winter sun. We were not disappointed and I am converted to this concept.
The customer service was excellent, the room pleasantly large even with a cot and all the paraphenalia that goes with a baby, and the food superb. The hotel was spotless with an army of cleaning staff seemingly constantly on duty and the gardens fantastically well kept. The central pool area had plenty of beds and parasols and the heated pool a real bonus particularly for the little ones. We took full advantage of the baby sitting service for which we paid an extra premium - but what price a quiet night out for just the two of you.
I would like to tell you about the proximity of local attractions but we found so much to do on the complex - read, eat, swim, sunbathe etc that we never made it anywhere in our week.
We are hoping to return soon.

Just returned from the half term week at Bahia Principe. Chose this hotel based on the many good reviews I read on various websites and let me say they were all spot on. Location quite stunning, spacious stylish pools, food quality and variety great, complex always clean, tidy and very efficiently run, staff friendly and welcoming. Yes it's quite remotely located, but if it's a chill week you're seeking that's fine.....Our teenage children certainly didn't bemoan that fact and the 17 year old found plenty of totty on site! We thought the Costa Adeje block was far superior to the Tenerife block although we did enjoy our meal at the Asian restaurant there. Evening entertainment is the average array  but amusing enough after a few beers! Overall, our verdict is FAB....go try it sometime. PS.Alpharooms was far and away the most competitive price I could find, so well done to you lot too, I'll be tap tapping on your site again soon!

I have just returned from my 3rd holiday in the Bahia Principe and I have to say once again I cannot fault this hotel in any way.  The staff are extremely professional and we noticed some of the staff have been there for the last 3 years which is a good thing.  The food was amazing, fantastic choice and something for everyone.  We didn't get tired of eating in the hotel for the 2 weeks which is very unusual.  Everything about the hotel is first class and I would highly recommend it for a relaxing holiday.

The Bahia Principe Costa Adeje really deserves its 4* superior rating. From our arrival, every one of the staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and relaxed.
Having been on a number of all inclusive holidays to various destinations in the past, this has been the first where from day one we have wanted to book another stay at the hotel soon after and when it came to the final day, we found ourselves looking forward to our next stay there. We ventured out of the hotel only once because they look after you so well and because the facilities at the hotel are so wonderful, you really don't need to leave. The varied 24 hour food and drink, and the entertainment programme also prove the commitment to guests that this hotel have to ensure you have a great holiday with them - and we did!
