***This is a review of my all-inclusive stay***
Check in:
- Big parking lot, easy to find a space
- Quickly greeted by doorman and luggage whisked away to Grand Salome, which I did not know was a separate component of Anthelia
- Butler guided us to the Grand Salome area and offered us cava and champagne while we checked in
The room:
- Bright and beachy, lots of open space
- Appreciated the welcome gift of a baseball cap and beach bag
- Absolute abundance of alcohol in room, from hard liquor with mixers and three bottles of wine
- Nightly cover turndown with chocolate
- Appreciated the dessert surprises each day
Dining:
- Loved Mirador for breakfast. Unbeatable views while sipping freshly squeezed orange juice the moment we sat down, extensive menu of savory and sweet dishes, also enjoyed the treat of the day prepared tableside (stacked pancakes, caviar toast, phyllo pastry with apple compote to name a few)
- Favorite restaurant was by far Poseidon. Cream of cauliflower with scallop carpaccio, duck, and chocolate temptation were unforgettable.
- Loved getting to try Canarian cuisine at Portofino for lunch. Would not miss the lobster paella!
- Portions are very generous for Portofino dinner
Amenities:
- While a small outdoor gym with a few weights and cardio machines was located outside our room in Grand Salome, the larger gym had a power rack and a covered component with cable machines and free weights that we preferred
- Infinity pool seemed to be more popular than the main pool
- Loved that poolside mid-afternoon we would be offered bowls of fresh fruit
Other thoughts:
- Adored Pablo and Joselin, who were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They really made the stay next level, getting us reservations for dinner to recommending attractions.
- Grand Salome has such an exclusive, luxurious feel as it is an access-only section of the greater resort
Impression: one of my top hotel experiences ever, highly recommend to anyone spending time in Tenerife! read more
