We are currently staying at the beautiful Barceló Tenerife and I honestly cannot praise the staff enough. From the moment we arrived, we have been made to feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.
A very special thank you to Victoria, the Head of Guest Relations, who has gone above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail have been exceptional throughout and made such a difference to our experience.
We would also love to specially mention Kenny, the Royal Level barman, who has been fantastic — always friendly, welcoming, and making every visit feel special. Thank you as well to Jhon, who has been incredibly attentive throughout our stay, regularly checking on us around the pool and bringing drinks and snacks with such warmth and care.
A huge thank you also to Jonathan in the Royal Level restaurant, who has looked after us so wonderfully during our meals and always made us feel so welcome. And finally, thank you to Diago, the Barceló Tenerife manager, whose team clearly reflects excellent leadership and genuine care for guests.
The restaurants have been absolutely wonderful, the atmosphere throughout the hotel is lovely, and every member of staff we’ve encountered has been warm, attentive, and eager to help.
The level of hospitality here feels truly personal and sincere, and it’s made for such a relaxing and memorable stay for both my mum and I.
Thank you for making our trip so special — we would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and genuinely caring experience.

To start off we will return but there are a few things that could do with a bit of improving. We stayed Royal Level and had a great week.
The pool at the RL was great, great service and choice of drinks and snacks. Great sun loungers with cushions. The negative is the is the toilet door to the gents does not have a lock, which created some privicy issues especially for our son when grown when walked in on him. Secondly the maintenance guys kept pluggng their power cable in the socket which led to not being able to close the door.
Great choice of alcohol in all the bars and excellent service.
The Breeze Gastro bar is very good and the best place for food. Breakfast was of a high standard with plenty of options in the Royal Level. The dinner could be very good to average. Some of the a la carte options were excellent but then depending on the chef, what was on the menu wasn't served on the plate. The hot buffet section, was ok bit mostly tepid and sitting out for too long.
The beds in the room were really comfortable but the bathrooms need a refresh and the floors need a proper clean with a machine as there is a good bit of ingrained dirt. On leaving, looked under our sons bed, we found a lot of dust and someone elses clothing. A lot of dust in the wardrobes.
The vouchers fot the restautant experience that you get on check-in do not include the experiences at the pizza or rice restaurants special evenings, we found out the hard why when checking out and had to pay for the pizza. We booked for the michelin starred chef but we were booked into the pizza restaurant according to the Barcelo App and we lost out on that experience. The App is poor and cant be relied on for bookings.
As I said at the start we will return as mostly it was a very positive experience. The staff are all very good and positive in their work, dout out to Valentin and Daniel. RL wine choices are good along with the beer and top shelf liqours.
The hotel are making improvents but need to sort out the small easy fixed items.

We booked the Royal Level because the heated pool was important for our 2 year old daughter to swim in. We were here 2 years ago and it really was a joy. Unfortunately this time around either the heating is not working or the hotel is not heating it to a comfortable temperature. It’s too cold for our daughter to use. If a heated pool is important for your holiday, best not to book this hotel.
Rooms are also showing their age, I was expecting that they’d have been renovated since our last visit. Unfortunately not, they’re showing their age and a skirting tile has also fully fallen off the wall in our current room. Staff in restaurants also less attentive than they once were. It’s a shame, we returned to this hotel expecting better.

The Barcelo Tenerife is only worth the price if you go with the Royal level. Better rooms, food and service, well worth the extra price only then is it fitting of the 5 star level. The standard hotel offering is very limited and I can understand some peoples fustration with it. My only issue with the royal level is that it ends early in the day with only one main bar in the hotel for after dinner which was always packed. There is Magma where they have shows in the evening but staff never told us about these, we found it on the 3rd night and it was very enjoyable. We were there in March so was not expecting great heat so we were very happy with our stay. The plans can be an issue but we hardly noticed it. They are not going very early in the day and late and night so not an issue. All in all I would stay again but they would improve their pool service, the app system never worked which was a shame.

We have just returned (couple) and enjoyed a great stay. Stayed half board. The service and food were both excellent and the Royal level restaurant was one of the highlights. We didn't stay around the hotel or use any of the pools but it was always a pleasure to return to the hotel in the evenings.
Thnaks to Francesca, the customer care manager for looking after us
