We had a short break at this hotel. It has been an extremely relaxing trip. There is honestly so many fantastic qualities about this hotel mainly the staff. Vicky makes the best cocktails ever and she has honestly made the trip very relaxing and fun, a cold towel at the pool to cool down is always a nice touch and comes in very handy in the heat. All the staff have been amazing here in particular at lagarto, posiedon and portofino. I have a few food allergies and the alacarte all inclusive for every meal is why I picked this hotel in particular. All allergens are clearly labelled and I have felt well catered for and also have enjoyed every single meal/ Snack I have had. Little platters in room and welcome cava is also a lovely touch. Rooms are very spacious and amneties are great. We have had a pleasant stay. Butler Service has been great and it has been much appreciated all there help with making reservations. I did have an issue upon arrival with macarons being in room which did not get us off to the best start due to my allergy, I was quite upset with this but it was quickly rectified and although I was anxious the staff here have been amazing, reassuring and I have no reservations about recommending this hotel to anyone who suffers from allergies as it has been wonderful. I would absolutely stay here again in future.

My wife and I came here for a break in February and it exceeded all our expectations. The weather was warm and sunny every day. The hotel was spotless clean, spacious and well equipped. We had a choice of restaurants and found the Poseidon to be exceptional. All the staff were helpful and friendly with a special shout out to Viviana and Palenzuela who clearly took pride in their work. Days were spent relaxing by the pool which again was clean, spacious and attended very well by bar staff bring drinks and nibbles. Our room was a suite with a sea view that was well equipped with whirlpool bath, comfy beds and a fabulous mini bar! A choice of entertainment was available most evenings and a good selection of activities during the day if you wished to take part. The hotel was so good we didn’t feel any need to leave the site.

An unforgettable brunch with a breathtaking sea view! The atmosphere was simply perfect, with the sound of the waves creating a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The gastronomic offer was truly outstanding—every dish was prepared with high-quality ingredients, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. From fresh fruits and delicious pastries to gourmet options, everything exceeded expectations. The service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff making sure we had the best experience. Without a doubt, this was the best brunch I had in Tenerife, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier culinary experience by the sea!

Incredible hotel, beautiful location, exceptional staff. Would i go again? Ive already booked for next year Salome is a hotel within a hotel. All guest suites have a private pool, bar and cafe and also a private buffet restaurant. All the a la carte restaurants and facilities in the main hotel are included for suite guests. Treat yourself you wont regret it.

The Salome is a wonderful hotel, with beautiful sea views, great food and friendly staff. We have been well looked after with lots of treats. The breakfast was great in a nice restaurant overlooking the sea. For dinner there are many restaurants to choose from. We particularly liked The Posidon...

The Salome is a wonderful hotel, with beautiful sea views, great food and friendly staff. We have been well looked after with lots of treats. The breakfast was great in a nice restaurant overlooking the sea. For dinner there are many restaurants to choose from. We particularly liked The Posidon although all were very good.

This hotel is without doubt our fa purity place to visit. From the immaculately clean rooms & pool/bar area to the friendliest most attentive staff we have encountered. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. The only downside is that we have to leave!! bravo 👏

This is the second time back to this hotel and words can describe how amazing it is. All staff go above and beyond for you , nothing is too much for them . Great food , great service. Absolutely stunning location of this fabulous hotel best sunset location. Many familiar faces from our last stay, says it all how everyone revisits this unique hotel. 5 star at its best. We will be back

Fabulous hotel. Our suite was spotless roomservice excellent room cleaned daily fresh towels, night time turn down. Butler and concierge service were excellent very helpful. Hotel delivered champagne and cake for my 60th birthday which wasn't requested. Hotel restaurants were OK could of been better. Breakfast buffet was plentiful. Salome pool and bar staff were very attentive and friendly couldn't fault them. Delivered ice water, aperitifs, alcohol on request, refresh cold towels. Very very good. Pool spotless checked twice a day

Absolutely amazing again. The staff are absolutely incredible nothing is too much trouble. The hotel is spotless & when we didn’t like the room we were assigned they changed it for a much better one. The pool restaurant food is amazing & a special thank you to Vicky who has become like a friend to us. We will be back.

We enjoyed our stay so much at the hotel that we have rebooked for next year. The staff make the hotel. Every single one of them is attentive, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. One of the nicest hotels we have stayed in. The standards are high and they all take pride in their service. The pool area is very relaxed, and the facilities are great. We used the sessions offered Andrea in the gym, which is well equipped for burning off the calories. The food was delicious and the drinks offered are all well know brands. The wine is also very good with a varied choice of Spanish and French options. We were surprised at how many people have visited before, next year we will be joining them.

We couldn’t really fault the hotel in the main. Staff all fantastic. Accommodation was excellent with a lovely sea view and large terrace. Pool staff couldn’t do enough for us. Special mention for Vicky who looked after us. Francisco was also so helpful. Breakfast was very good. Lunches were ok....

We couldn’t really fault the hotel in the main. Staff all fantastic. Accommodation was excellent with a lovely sea view and large terrace. Pool staff couldn’t do enough for us. Special mention for Vicky who looked after us. Francisco was also so helpful. Breakfast was very good. Lunches were ok. Good variety. We ate dinner three times in the hotel. We didn’t really like Portofino. We wanted to go at 8pm but were told it had to be 7:30. The restaurant was almost empty though until 9pm so that seemed silly. We thought the food was average at best and feel there are better places elsewhere. The buffet dinner was good and decent value at 60 euros per person however the New Year’s Eve gala buffet was extortionate for what it was at 220 euros per person!! They had a few extra seafood offerings but other than that it was very similar to the normal evening buffet. We ate at 8pm and by 9pm the indoor area (like a canteen) was empty so no atmosphere. And by 9:30pm they were clearing up all the food stations!! I was very reluctant to go to the New Year’s Eve buffet as they are often a rip off but the hotel were closing all their other restaurants so we had no option. Choice was gala dinner or room service!! And as suspected it was a total rip off. Avoid if possible and go to an outside restaurant. Apart from the New Year’s Eve disappointed we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Outstanding from start to finish. I rarely have a faultless hotel experience but this is the exception. The staff at Salome and in main hotel Anthelia are slick, charming and attentive, especially Vicky by the pool who always went above and beyond with her service and smiles. Rooms are beautiful...

Outstanding from start to finish. I rarely have a faultless hotel experience but this is the exception. The staff at Salome and in main hotel Anthelia are slick, charming and attentive, especially Vicky by the pool who always went above and beyond with her service and smiles. Rooms are beautiful and well maintained, the pool is a peaceful haven with comfortable beds, buttons to press for service and everything is thought out to ensure the most relaxing experience for the guests. Food is excellent and the position of the hotel right by the sea and promenade is probably the most enviable in the whole of Tenerife. If I could have given 6 stars , I would! Can’t wait to return.

The best hotel with wonderful staff. Nothing is too much trouble. The restaurants are very good with plenty of choice and very high quality. The rooms are a prime location with fabulous views of the ocean and well equipped. All inclusive is a must.

We stayed here early December as a quick 4 day getaway. We hadn’t been away this time of the year so didn’t really know what to expect weather wise. Having previously been to this hotel for 10 nights we knew what to expect. It’s a very laid back vibe and perfect for a short break. We stayed B&B again as there are so many restaurants and bars within a very short walking distance. We opted for a priority location suite this time, which are situated on the top floor. The suites are quite good, with hair straighteners as well as hair dryer if you need them. Not as many toiletries etc as some hotels we’ve been to but all the stuff you need. The hotel was pretty quiet while we were there, so no problem with sun beds. The pool is 120cm deep and heated which suits my wife ! A shout out to the pool guy whose name I didn’t get but very friendly and accommodating. I would say most if not all the staff are very good. Especially the staff at breakfast. Always a smile and nothing too much trouble. My wife is Coeliac so needs to follow a gluten free diet. This was no problem here and the chef offered to make GF crepes for her too. Taittinger champagne complimentary at breakfast also, which is a nice start to the day. The view from this restaurant is also very good. You do have “butlers” who are there to help if you need anything. Jocelyn was ours and was available if we had any questions or concerns. We did have a problem with our transport being an hour early, however she managed to help with this problem. The odd cold drink and nibbles were offered throughout the day, which was a nice touch. Cava is also complimentary around the pool if that’s your tipple. We used to go into the Anthelia for evening entertainment. They have a different duo on most night in the lobby bar. A shout out to Ines who got to know our drinks order ! We would definitely return but for another short break as it is very quiet and laid back. It has many returning guests so not doing much wrong !

Top level sleep quality enhanced overall relaxation. Willing staff were mainly excellent though the first butler was on his own wavelength, not ours. Hotel is stylish and upscale.

The main thing that stans out about this hotel is the staff. They are always smiling and asking can they do anything more for you. From the pool attendant making sure your sunbed has clean towels and you're umbrella is positioned perfectly for you to the staff at the Lagarto pool bar who make sure you have anything you require from snacks to cocktails. It would be hard to single out anyone in particular as they have all been excellent. The suites are fantastic with perfect sea views and are cleaned twice a day. They also have a well stocked bar that is replenished daily as you use anything. The staff in all the restaurants are very attentive and is very fine dining. The only slight complaint I would have is the entertainment at night. They have two venues but both shows start and finish at roughly the same time. The shows finish shortly after 10pm which I feel is too early in the evening. I would definitely say this is the best hotel I have ever stayed at and would definitely return.

Where do we begin? This is the most amazing hotel made especially amazing by the wonderful staff who are friendly, welcoming and absolutely cannot do enough for you to ensure you have a wonderful stay. Special mention to the lovely Vicky, Ruth and their team who look after you with...

Where do we begin? This is the most amazing hotel made especially amazing by the wonderful staff who are friendly, welcoming and absolutely cannot do enough for you to ensure you have a wonderful stay. Special mention to the lovely Vicky, Ruth and their team who look after you with drinks, nibbles, and great chats around the pool area and at lunch in the Legato restaurant. We opted to stay on an all inclusive basis and were so pleased we did as every meal in every restaurant we chose to dine in was superb. A special memorable highlight was being invited to a gala evening in the Poseidon restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious five course meal with Tattinger champagne to start then accompanying wines with each course. This simply is one of the best hotels we have stayed in and can't praise it enough.

Excellent hotel. Staff deserve particular praise - always welcoming & nothing is too much trouble. Had a few very minor issues with our room - light flickering, air con not working properly but these were all fixed within hours. Had a problem with wi-fi which worked fine on phone but...

Excellent hotel. Staff deserve particular praise - always welcoming & nothing is too much trouble. Had a few very minor issues with our room - light flickering, air con not working properly but these were all fixed within hours. Had a problem with wi-fi which worked fine on phone but not on lap top. This was fixed promptly by one of the butlers who were excellent. Particular mention to Daniel - nothing was too much trouble. Great rooms with very comfortable sun beds which were in plentiful supply. Nice touches like free cava, crisps & nuts all day. Bar staff very attentive & came round with free nibbles as well. We were on B&B. Basis. Breakfast was in a nice room above the Poseidon restaurant. With small buffet & hot food brought to your table. You could also eat & use all the facilities at the Anthelia Hotel of which the Salome is part of. Minor niggles - Cooked breakfast could be served quicker & hot water for tea could be hotter, likewise with Porridge which could have hotter. Not sure if they fetch this from the Anthelia kitchen next door. The best restaurants are in Caleta or towards Caleta. Heading in the other direction is typical Costa del Sol.

All round excellent service and generally excellent food in the theme restaurants buffet very busy. Butler service second to none rooms are very spacious and were well appointed.All staff friendly and attentive to our needs Pool area very clean.

Beautiful adults only hotel within a larger hotel - perfect location to explore Costa Adeje lovely staff Ruth and Francesco especially great so helpful 🥰 we came for our wedding ani and were left a lovely surprise ❤️ amazing room with stunning views 🤩 can’t wait to return! ✨

A truly excellent hotel within a hotel. Adults only is important for guests of a certain age! It's the staff that make the difference (all of them - too many to name), from the butlers through to bar staff. Been here before and glad we came again.

We first visited this resort by chance in 2022. What a location a true gem inside of this Iberistar complex. A 5 star complex with 30 rooms . Offering a butler service all daylong. We have got to know these members of the staff over the years. Our poolside and restaurant assistant Vicky to name one of the staff remembers us greets us with a hug and asks if we would like our usual drink! Wow. We have not been disappointed here in fact a lot of people we chat to are returning customers. We eill be back again next year, for more great food great entertainment and great service. Thank you as always, Vicky, Ruth, Joslyn to name but a few we look forward to visiting in 2026 if we do not return before then

Fantastic hotel with 5 star service from start to finish. Would like to thank 2 members of staff who went above and beyond to make our stay just perfect Francisco who was one of the butlers and also Nereida who was a waitress around the pool bar! Amazing service from them both. Loves it so much we are back in July

From the moment we arrived at Joia Salome in Tenerife, we were swept into a world of effortless luxury and calm. Tucked along the coastline with breathtaking sea views, this hotel is an oasis of serenity—elegant, warm, and wonderfully welcoming. Our suite was exquisite: spacious, beautifully designed, and complete with a private balcony that opened to the sound of the waves and the soft golden light of the Atlantic. A special thank you to the team for the chilled bottle of champagne awaiting us in the room—it was the perfect start to our stay. The service throughout was faultless, and I have to give particular thanks to Daniel and Francesco, who went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. They were genuine, attentive, and added a personal touch that made the experience all the more memorable. Thank you ‘family!’ The spa is not to be missed. I spent an afternoon melting into their thermal circuit and indulging in a divine massage—it was pure bliss. The amenities are thoughtful and luxurious without being fussy, striking the perfect balance between comfort and sophistication. There is also a brilliant gym in the sister hotel next door with every bit of kit you could wish for, and some free weights and machines by the Joia pool so you can work out whilst looking at the sea. The pool area is great too with wonderful service. Breakfast was also tasty - a la carte was a nice touch. Joia Salome is a rare gem. I left feeling completely restored—and already planning my return.

This hotel is incredible, the staff cannot do enough for you, you cannot fault the food, it's so good, every taste catered for, the rooms clean and comfortable, air conditioning that works, if you do nothing else come to this hotel at least once.

Third visit, still here, hasn't disappointed once again. We upgraded our room this time as we were celebrating a special birthday, spacious and fabulous large balcony with 2 loungers and the sun from 11am onwards. The service at this hotel is amazing, very attentive and nothing is too much trouble. We attended the Gala evening in restaurant Poseidon which was amazing. Portafino restaurant is amazing. If you want relaxing quiet time with the luxury extras, this is the hotel to visit. Special shout out to, Francesco, Daniel. Ruth, Vicky and Mosi and the ladies in Portafino. Looking forward to our fourth visit.

From start to finish, this holiday has been exceptional. The whole experience is one we will remember for a very long time. We stayed on an AI basis and cannot recommend the food offering and drinks package enough. Every member of the team are a credit to the hotel and...

From start to finish, this holiday has been exceptional. The whole experience is one we will remember for a very long time. We stayed on an AI basis and cannot recommend the food offering and drinks package enough. Every member of the team are a credit to the hotel and we can’t even name our favourites as they are all just brilliant. Today is our last day as I write this and we really hope to be back here very soon to make more fantastic memories. This is our 11th visit to Costa Adeje and by day the best experience we’ve ever had.

This is a fabulous hotel. Everything is spotlessly clean. This is certainly worthy of its 5star rating. The breakfast has to be one of the best we have had in any hotel. I have to mention one staff in particular….Vicky at the pool bar. She has made our holiday so...

This is a fabulous hotel. Everything is spotlessly clean. This is certainly worthy of its 5star rating. The breakfast has to be one of the best we have had in any hotel. I have to mention one staff in particular….Vicky at the pool bar. She has made our holiday so enjoyable with her first class service. She is an amazing member of staff and certainly gives 100%. Thank you Vicky & staff for everything. We will certainly return to this hotel in the near future.

Fabulous hotel for adults only, the staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were spotless and the service was first class. The food and choices were perfect and we will definitely come back again. The location is probably the best in Costa Adeje with...

Fabulous hotel for adults only, the staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were spotless and the service was first class. The food and choices were perfect and we will definitely come back again. The location is probably the best in Costa Adeje with uninterrupted views from the sunbeds and pool of the coast.

This was a great holiday. The service in this hotel is excellent. Particularly the restaurant and Butler staff. The senior management are also very available and solved all our queries. This is our sixth visit and we have already booked our next visit ( a very great number of the guests we met on our last visit have been like us many times before which is a testament to how good it is)

Great adults only hotel, fantastic facilities, great location with beautiful sea views. Although the 3 A La Carte restaurants were good it was probably the best buffet restaurant we have ever been to, great choice and great quality. This really is a fabulous hotel, but it is really topped off by all its amazing staff, each and every one of them is a credit to the hotel chain. We had an amazing holiday and we will definitely be going back!

We came to Salomé for our silver wedding anniversary and stayed 6 nights. Normally my reviews are split into GOOD and GOOD TO KNOW (this is the nice way of noting any negatives!). I can’t do that here because we have no negatives. Not one. WONDERFUL: * The staff. They are exemplary and charming, every single one. I would particularly like to note the fantastic service from Daniel, Vicky, Viviana, Johana, Juanita, Jessica, Ruth, Laura and Rebeca. Our impression is they are well paid and well treated because they seem genuinely happy and in fact a couple of them commented how much they love working there. * Attention to detail. Little touches that go a long way, you know? Welcome gift, beautiful arrangements of fruits and chocolates left now and again, turn down service, iced water and little cocktails, plus nibbles of food brought regularly to sunbeds. * The food. Delicious but huge. I didn’t finish a single dish. Worse things to moan about! There are 3 à la carte restaurants for dinner, a beautiful buffet in the main hotel for other days and the poolside restaurant (Lagarto) for lunch is so lovely and has spots you can people-watch from. Breakfast at the Mirador is stunning (the view and the food). * Cleanliness and presentation. Spotless everywhere. Even poolside loos are immaculate and that’s rare. Fixtures and fittings are top notch throughout. Suite bathrooms are beautiful, beds super comfy. Couldn’t make the TV work but didn’t want to watch it anyway so didn’t ask for help. You do need a PhD to understand the lighting in the suites, but again I didn’t ask for help and I know Daniel would gladly have given it. I just winged it and woke his nibs up a few times faffing with lights at 3am! Loved the whirlpool bath and waterfall shower. * Spa. I had an amazing Lomi Lomi massage from Sira. 70 minutes of pure bliss. Definitely worth the £100 (€118). * The pools. 2 lovely pools at Salomé. Nice temperature and crystal clear. Bobbing in the infinity pool is wonderful with jets. * Butler service. Just so lovely to have someone take everything off your shoulders. Daniel booked my spa treatment and all our meals. You just need to spot the butler on your first day so he can explain everything to you because there are no guides in the rooms. Jessica really helped me before I found Daniel. * Mini bar and maxi bar. If you’re AI, everything in your room is included except the bottle of Moet. That’s very rare. Additionally, practically every drink is included at the bar, including all the brands. Only the occasional expensive whiskey is excluded and they are marked with **. My top tips: make sure you have a barraquito, a traditional Canary Islands coffee with liqueur. Bloody yummy. Also don’t miss the sharing paella at Lagarto but pick a day where you don’t intend having much supper as it’s huge. We will be back. This is the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth every penny. (I haven’t commented much on the main hotel as we didn’t really go there apart from the buffet twice.) Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The Salome hotel is a truly wonderful place Apart from excellent accommodation and food, what really makes the place are its staff. From the pool guy Jennier : the bar staff Jessica Vicky Ruth Estofonia Rebeckah : the so-called Butlers Daniel Francisco Joselin . It was also great to see a lot more of Kim than we have in previous visits . She runs a wonderful ship and could not do more for her guests I also have to mention a lady who does the ‘specials ‘ at breakfast : fabulous treats and such good service.Sorry I have forgotten her name. There are others who’s names I have forgotten apologies to them In short so many guests return time and time again., I think mainly because of the people above

Just back from a 10 day stay at the hotel and can honestly say it was amazing. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Special mention to Vicky, Ruth, Jessica, and Nereida ( excuse my spelling) Jocelyn and Jaffa who all made our stay so amazing. This is our7th stay in 3 years ( they must be doing something right) and we look forward to our next visit.😊

The Salome is as close to perfect as a hotel gets. It has a real boutique feel. Uninterrupted sea views from the room balcony and the pool club. The staff make this place though. Jocelyn the concierge who greeted us on arrival was friendly and knowledgeable, nothing was too much...

The Salome is as close to perfect as a hotel gets. It has a real boutique feel. Uninterrupted sea views from the room balcony and the pool club. The staff make this place though. Jocelyn the concierge who greeted us on arrival was friendly and knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble. Vicky and Juanita at the pool came with a constant stream of ice cold water, Pina Colada’s, strawberries with lemon compote topped up with the occasional glass of rose cava. It’s all done so naturally and always with a big smile. Breakfast is on a little terrace adjacent to the hotel within the Anthelia Iberostar which has loads of facilities and activities. But it’s nice to retire to the calmness of the Salome when you just want a bit of tranquility. We will absolutely be back. Thank you.

Not a very original title for this review, but everything about this hotel WAS wonderful, from beginning to end! The first thing that greets you as you enter The Anthelia Hotel (the main hotel) is the opulence, the cleanliness, the gorgeous fresh smell, and the many smiling staff, eager to help. Our greeting at the main desk was welcoming, and the lady there immediately connected us with a Salome staff member, Joffer, who whisked us off to the Joia Salome part of the hotel. As the glass doors parted, we entered an entirely different world, and immediately felt like (even greater) valued guests, despite the luxury and friendliness that we had just left up the stairs. A glass of chilled champagne was in our hands within seconds, and the check-in process completed swiftly and efficiently by staff member, Daniel. The manager of the hotel (sorry, I didn’t catch the lady’s name), also welcomed us with genuine enthusiasm and congeniality. Daniel then took us to our rooms, despite it being several hours earlier than the official check-in time. He showed us around our accommodation, and explained the hotel’s amenities. There was a lot to remember, but he also gave us a phone number to get in touch at any time, if we needed any assistance with anything. At this point, I can confirm that each time we did phone for information or additional items, the matter was dealt with immediately. Menus brought to the room etc. so that we could choose which restaurants to book, if required. Scales for the case that we were worried may be “on the edge”. Additional (and unexpected) gestures also made, which made us feel higher valued than anywhere that we have ever stayed before - and we have enjoyed many fine holidays over the years. The room was fabulous, and the view, beautiful – pool and sea combined, through a framework of palms. It was lovely to have a separate bedroom from the lounge area, and even better to have a proper bathroom, again completely separate. The whirlpool bath was lovely, and the shower was the best that we’ve ever experienced in a hotel. There was everything a person could need in the bathroom, but Iberostar, your hair conditioner really does feel (and act) like body lotion (as observed in the same chain last year). This time, I was prepared! 😉 There was plenty of wardrobe and storage space throughout the suite, a full-size fridge full of drinks of all kinds, and a red wine fridge. Yes, we too prefer it to be room temperature, but it won’t take long… On the main table in the lounge area was a bottle of champagne chilling in an ice bucket, alongside a variety of delicious macaroons. The balcony area contained a Balinese bed, as well as a patio set - perfect. Apart from a few scuffs on the floor in the lounge area, there was nothing not to like about the room - and we loved it! Being pescatarian (and mostly vegetarian), we found the dinner menus for the gourmet restaurants to be rather limited for us. We did have garlic prawns at the poolside Lagarto restaurant a few times at lunchtime, but beyond that, we mostly chose to eat in the main hotel buffet restaurant. The garlic prawns were a starter, incidentally – and the portions were huge!!! After we had learned a hard lesson on the first day (ordering a ravioli main course to follow), we just had the starter with salad on other occasions (a side salad not being on the menu – but do ask!), and it was the perfect meal! Lobster stew at the Portofino for another lunch was an experience that would have left us full for the rest of the holiday, had there not been so much temptation! The Zeus buffet restaurant was vast, with something for everyone. You will never get piping hot food from a buffet (unless made to order), but we absolutely appreciated the huge range of delicious, freshly-baked breads, the large variety of hot and cold dishes, the lovely salads, and the mouth-watering desserts. Vegans and people with gluten intolerances were clearly catered for, and quite frankly, for a buffet, I can’t understand how anyone can complain. Breakfast at the Mirador was divine! The most beautiful views to look out on, and total exclusivity. I personally don’t like eggs, so there was little for me to eat beyond the cold food buffet selection within there. But the fresh orange juice and smoothies were gorgeous, and a quick nip to the Zeus to pile my plate with veggie offerings, worked great! One point that we did make, was how lovely it would have been to be able to do the same thing in the evening, and retain being part of the exclusive (and child-free) Salome ethos. The grounds of the Anthelia are vast and beautiful. We loved the ornate pond surrounding the Zeus restaurant, and enjoyed watching the little fish – with the best habitat ever! Credit to the staff who maintain the grounds, because everywhere was lovely. We didn’t try the upper pool at the Anthelia, though it looked very inviting. The main pool was huge, though I personally loved the expansive pool behind it, which was unheated – fabulous for a mid-afternoon dip, and I usually had it to myself, presumably because it was quite cold! Our pre-breakfast swims at the Salome heated pool, however, were the absolute best way to start the day. The poolside area in general at the Salome, was beautiful – and felt very exclusive, and totally relaxing in the absence of babies and children (which the Anthelia did seem to attract a lot of). Just the gentle sound of the crashing ocean and birdsong. Efficient staff, regularly bringing around impromptu snacks and drinks, and always being so cheerful and eager to serve, were very much appreciated. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The only slight let down about this hotel in general, was the spa – and certainly not the spa itself, but the unwelcome reception that we received when we arrived an hour and a half before the official closing time. We were abruptly told that the sauna and steam room had already been switched off for the day, though after further discussion, it appeared that everything else was accessible - within our clearly pointed out, limited time frame.... We only wanted to try the pools for experience, and so that suited us fine. But we didn’t bother returning again, as we really did feel like we had been an inconvenience. A small matter (to us), in the grand scheme of things. In summary, we had 6 days of being spilt rotten – and it was bliss! The packet of the key card read, “Your key to paradise” – and it certainly was. I would recommend this hotel unreservedly, and we will return in time, like so many other people do. I think that says it all.

It is impossible for us to fault this hotel. It is beautiful, luxurious, clean and well maintained. But the thing that elevates it for us is the staff who really can’t do enough for you. You are met by one of the butlers – Joselin, Francesco, Joffer or Daniel and they check you are being looked after throughout your stay. Around the pool you are well looked after by fantastic staff like Ruth, Jessica, Vicky, Nereida and others who sorry I don’t remember all the names We can’t wait to come back and see you all Bob and Alison

This is our second time staying here and it won’t be the last, it is just absolutely fabulous. The rooms, the service, the staff, food and drinks are all amazing. From the tattinger champagne at breakfast to the beautiful clean big rooms which are fully stocked with everything you need, all amenities plus a stocked mini bar with champagne and canapes in your room on arrival. and everything in between. Highly recommend for a couples break. The hotel is so peaceful and tranquil, the staff are very friendly and attentive, all the little touches make the hotel that extra bit special. We will definitely be back

Short version; Peaceful, quiet, calm and relaxing in a small, clean oasis. Exceptional service from charming, engaging and discreet staff. Topped off with good food, great service in a nice selection of restaurants. Definitely to be revisited. Longer version; The flight from Cardiff was uneventful and after the usual airport faf we were sat, glass in hand, at the impressive main reception in the Anthelia in around 25mins. We had already checked in online prior to arrival (through the website or app) but even so it did take a while for us to be “whisked away to the Salomé” - this was to be forgiven as it was now 7.30pm. Joffer, one of the butlers, did his best to walk and talk us through the hotel and room, appreciating that all we wanted to do was find a bar and a restaurant. We knew we’d arrived in time for dinner so we were expecting to be able to eat at one of the à la carte restaurants. However, these are all booked in advance meaning that we were limited to the buffet restaurant (Zeus) in the main hotel for our first two evenings. We weren’t aware of this booking process prior to arrival, so this was an unfortunate frustration at the start of our holiday. In fairness to the buffet, it was a very good example but, this wasn’t what we had expected when booking. The only upside to this was that Joffer did then book us into the three à la carte restaurants for our remaining five evenings. The following day we were chatting to the star that is (butler) Francisco and, to our surprise, he was able to get us a table in the Poseidon restaurant that evening. TIP: Restaurants can be booked using the Iberostar app, or by contacting the concierge (butler) service, either in person or through the app/phone) or before you arrive by contacting the hotel directly. NOTE: Not all restaurants are open every day so you may have to be creative/flexible with your dining plan. We spent a week here in a ‘standard suite’ (there are 4 room options) though there is little standard about the room. With the exception of the Superior rooms, all rooms are the same - it’s the location that changes the price. The rooms were generous, very clean and well appointed. The bed was big and very comfortable, the linen good quality. There was even a red wine cabinet, set to the right temperature! (included if on AI basis). Large separate shower, large jacuzzi bath with plenty of hot water. Ladies; there were large, full length mirrors & hairdryer + straighteners. Men; there were plenty of sockets, in sensible places. There was a bottle of fizz on arrival and (almost) daily treats in the room. A turn-down service and towels changed twice a day. There was some of the usual bed-bagging (I’m afraid we were as guilty as the rest), but even so, with almost as many beds as guests, there was always somewhere to relax - quite often there would be beds available throughout the day. There were good quality pool towels in abundance, with no limit on the number you could use - another nice touch. The majority of the guests were of similar age (!) and more than happy to engage in conversation, if that was what you were looking for. The result was you quickly felt accepted into ‘the family’. Service around the pool was also excellent, particularly with the now familiar Jessica. We originally booked half-board but decided to change this to all-inclusive through TUI prior to arrival. This proved to be a good move - even though we are not big eaters or drinkers, it gave us access to a surprisingly good wine selection and delicious lunches amongst other options. Mirador Terrace (breakfast) is the perfect way to start the day - overlooking the bay and Fañabé Beach, listening to the waves. The simple menu, fresh buffet and custom selection provided as much choice as you’d need. All the staff were exceptional, particular thanks to Vicky and Jessica (again) Lagarto Restaurant (lunch) - The garlic prawns were sublime. The menu had a great selection of both local and generic options and we soon found out that the portions were very generous! If it all gets little too rich, there is also a simpler ‘poolside’ menu which can be taken either in the restaurant or at your sun-bed (very decadent). TIP: As everything is made to order, you do have the option to change portion sizes and ingredients. Poseidon Restaurant - This restaurant is located outside the Salomé, in the parent Anthelia hotel and we had both lunch and dinner here. Lunch was very good - the lobster risotto (not the correct name) for two was stuffed with sea food and delicious, again, enormous portions. We had dinner here one evening and had planned to return for another but fortunately we were able to change this. This was our least favourite meal - dishes were overcooked / cold / stood for too long. Sea Soul - You have to leave the hotel to access this restaurant as it is open to the public. We had a delicious dinner here served by fabulous staff and would have returned had we been able. Portofino (Italian) - We ended up have several evening meals here as the staff were exceptional, as was the service - nothing was too much trouble. The menu included options that encouraged us to try different things and in the most part we thoroughly enjoyed the culinary experience. We missed fresh vegetables on the menus We gravitated to the Lagarto bar after dinner for a chat and a nightcap, here you can find a selection of top-shelf spirits, beer, coffee etc. Many thanks to Nereida who made the perfect negroni. Download the Iberostar app and you can access pretty much all the information you’ll need about the hotel. The only change I’d recommend would be contacting the concierge service - the app provides no feedback so several times I had to follow up with a call or visit. Many hotels have a WhatsApp group and this would make much more sense. Make contact with Geordie (management team?) if you need to resolve anything. If you feel the need to get out for a walk, may I suggest turning right out of the hotel onto the promenade and walking to the next bay (and beyond). An early morning walk is therapeutic and all you have to contend with is a few joggers. Turn left and you’ll be challenged to find any authentic Tenerife. If you’ve got this far, I make no apologies for the detail of this review - I’ve tried to answer some of the questions that I asked before this holiday; I hope I’ve answered some of yours. I hope I’ve given you an insight to this most excellent hotel. We are very pleased to have found it and will certainly be returning. It’s an absolute gem, a perfectly relaxing oasis, where the staff will do everything they can to ensure that you have the best of times.

We can’t recommend Grand Salome enough - from check-in to departure it was wonderful. Our thanks to all the staff for looking after us and a very special thanks to the breakfast and pool bar ladies for all their help. Could not forget my paella which was organised for us...

We have just returned from an 11 night stay at Salome and it was wonderful. It was our first visit to this hotel, but we have stayed many times at the Anthelia which shares its facilities with Salome. All the staff in all the restaurants and the pool bar were very kind, efficient and made us feel very special. One of the things we particularly liked was the choice of dining - Salome exclusive areas for breakfast and lunch but also the opportunity to eat in the Anthelia buffet and al a carte restaurants for dinner and Portofino at lunch. Staying at Salome we had extensive food and drink menus and we could eat in the restaurants as many times as we wanted. Thank you for such a wonderful stay we will definitely be back.
