I am going on Tuesday for a week and will be able to tell you more after that. I don't think there are any tea/coffee making facilities in the bedrooms.

Hi,

I'm off to the Bahia Principe Costa Adeje on 9th June and wondered whether anyone knows if the world cup will be shown in the hotel?

If not is there anywhere nearby that will have it on?

Thanks

We go on the 9th of June and my husband was wondering the same it says in the book that there is a TV room but thats all I know

Yeah i read there is a TV in the room but only with english news channels. I'm happy to watch the game with foreign commentary as long as we can see the match.

I'm sure there'll be something nearby if it's not on anyway.

Arrived home last Friday after a wonderfull week in the BP Tenerife... Absolutely great hotel. Food was superb, freindly staff and the place was spotless...

I expect they'll show the foodball in the pub at the back of the entertainments square. This isn't AI, but fairly cheap.

If I'd never been to Egypt, this would be the best holiday I've ever been on. As it is, we're thinking of going back to this hotel next May...

Kosh42 did you manage to get a swim in the sea.

How easy what was it like getting into the sea. I hear its quite rocky. :)

Not from the hotel, no... From the Tenerife, it was a long walk down to the ocean edge of the Costa Adeje and we only did it one evening, but the pah to the beach was closed by then...

I did swim in the sea, though, but only as part of the Royal Delphin whale and dolphin spotting trip. It was a brilliant day out I'd reccomend to anyone...

we are just back from the \Bahia Principe. We had a wonderful time. The food was very good the first few days but became excellent after that. We could not find any fault. If I had to say any fault .......well too much to eat and big choice. I am over a half stone heavier. Anyone want to ask questions feel free to do so.

Could I point out that the Bahia Principe Costa Adeje and the Bahia Principe Tenerife are if fact two different hotels but under the collective name Bahia Principe Resort.

If the members wish I could open another topic to seperate the two hotels or leave as is.

If the latter could members please put the correct hotel name as the subject of their post.

If members would prefer the former then I would start a new topic with the Bahia Principe as the subject.

As I'm not sure which posts are referring to which hotel in the current topic I will leave them as they are.

I think you can leave it as it is. There's not a lot of difference between the two. You share all the facilities (except the buffet restaurants - you need to use the one for the hotel you are staying in).

There's no difference in quality - both 4* superior. You will pay a little more for the Tenerife as their rooms sleep 4 and are suites, rather than the Costa Adeje rooms that sleep 3.

:D

there was no iron or board in the bedroom. I think you can get laundry done as in the wardrobe there was a plastic laundry bag and a laundry list of items. I did not check the prices.

we stayed in the adeje side and it was beautiful. I like the lay out as it is quite big. Ask any question and I will try and answer.

I enjoyed the adeje side very much. The food was brilliant. We went to the Italian and Spanish restuarants and both were very good. Some of the evening entertainment was good too. In the square at night there was stuff for the kids. eg snakes, hairbraiding and candyfloss and also entertainment on stage. The were a few nice shops in the square too.
The bedrooms were kept clean and our bed linen was even changed the day before we went home.On the day of departure we were not leaving until nine pm and we were able to go to the spa to get showered before going to dinner. Anything you want to ask go ahead and do so.

Don't worry for a second about staying in either the Tenerife or Costa Adeje. Both are beautiful and as they are part of the same complex, I don't think it really matters which you stay in. The main difference I noticed was the Tenerife side seemed quieter, owing to most of the pool activities/daytime entertainment being over at the Costa Adeje, as they have the larger pool area.

We stayed in the Costa Adeje last year and have rebooked for this August. The brochure (First Choice I think) has it wrong in my opinion when it labels the Costa Adeje as 'adult focused' and the Tenerife as 'family focused'. If anything I would say the other way around. Both hotels are suitable for couples and families, but not for singles, unless they are looking for a quiet get away from it all holiday. :D

I must says if that is what the bochure about the Adeje and Tenerife sides says then it is wrong. The Adeje side has lots to do for a families. I loved this side when I stayed in June. I don't have kids but observed all the activity for them

oh dear that does not sound right. I have the say in the wrong place. :)
