Abama Golf & Spa Resort, Tenerife

My daughter and I were welcomed by very friendly staff and the elegance of the hotel was apparent from the moment you step into the grounds. We were offered a glass of champagne and my daughter an orange juice while checking in. We were told that we had been upgraded to an Abama Citadel Ocean view room. The hotel deducted 300 euros off my card to cover anything I put onto the room such as drinks, food and spa treatments etc. Anything I didn’t spend would be refunded at check out and anything more spent would be paid at checkout. This made perfect sense and was actually a good way to do this.

Our room was lovely; it was very spacious, light and airy and the view was lovely over the ocean, golf course and one of the swimming pools. We had welcome cookies on the table and fruit.

This hotel has seven swimming pools, some are just for adults only and one is exclusive for Tagora Villa Guests which is also adult only. There are a lovely selection of restaurants here including two Michelin star restaurants too. The food was always amazing and I could not fault this at all. The children’s menu was also very good and had reasonable prices too. We were on bed and breakfast basis and the breakfast was wonderful with a massive selection of things on offer.

My daughter spent several hours each day in the kids club which she loved, this was a huge area for the children and was a lot of fun for them. Kids club is available 10am -6pm and you can pay eight euros per child per hour if you would like them to go in the evenings when it closes at midnight.

While my daughter was in the kids club, I took this advantage and spent time relaxing by the adult’s only pool, which was lovely. As someone who would appear single around this area, I felt like I could easily come here as a single person and did see others who were also alone.

I did check out some of the other room types while here. I had a look at a one bedroomed suite which is located in the Abama Citadel hotel area which was lovely and specious and great views of the sea and main pool which had a large corner balcony which had a lovely seating area of sofas outside. I also visited a one bedroomed villa which was also lovely and comes with its own golf buggy for the holiday duration. These room types sleep up to four people and they also have connecting rooms too for larger families.

I also had a look at a Tagora Villa which is exclusively for adults only, comes with its own golf buggy, access to the Tagora Villas exclusive pool, complimentary snacks throughout the day and wines, beers, soft drinks and teas and coffees and private check in.

We really did enjoy our stay and would definitely return. This is an up market hotel so do not expect much in the way of entertainment in the evenings, but this attracts the type of client that wouldn’t really want this and to be honest would ruin the elegance of this stunning resort.

I have a very good contact at this hotel now, so don’t hesitate to contact me for a quote or if you would like to know any more information.
