Bahia del Duque

It's a shame a place like this is not well managed! Rooms are nice, location is good but one can feel that the place is under managed. You can find things that don't work, haven't been repaired, haven't been cleaned everywhere in the hotel. Here are just a few examples: - moldy bread at the buffet and all we got as an excuse from a manager was: i'll tell the staff, sorry - November 4th, the moldy rotten pumpkins from Halloween are still around and full of flies - the sink tap at one of the restaurant fell in my hands - the toilet at the breakfast are dirty - housekeeping showed up at 9:30pm for turndown service, twice over 3 days whilst they know there is a baby in the room I'm not having a bad stay but I will definitely not come back here nor would I recommend anyone to come to this place

Definitely not 5-star. Rooms are poorly designed and noisy - AC is extremely loud, walls are paper-thin (you hear snoring, alarms, conversations), and shower temperature is inconsistent. Facilities are outdated (old TV with no channels or smart features, no USB sockets, no kettle), and basics are missing (no drying rack in a beach resort, no do-not-disturb sign, only one towel hook, fridge unusable due to minibar overload). Interior feels messy with wires sticking out and tilted frames. Worst of all, I stepped on glass shards left by previous guests five days into our stay. When I told reception, there was no apology or care. Housekeeping was inconsistent - fresh flower replaced once then left with stagnant water for two weeks, bathroom drying line filthy. Hotel grounds are neglected: loungers dirty and uncomfortable, mats soiled, trash left under sunbeds for days, smoking area tables stacked with dirty cups. Gym requires a keycard to enter but has no proper AC. Calling a buggy takes 15+ minutes, even with staff standing around. Restaurants are below standard: food is oily and inconsistent, pastries unlabeled, stale bread charged at lunch, rotten oranges left in the juice machine, dirty dishes at breakfast, coffee takes forever. Quality is nowhere near 5-star and service is inattentive. Staff were the biggest disappointment. Reception was rude when I asked if they could collect a delivery, replying “we have enough restaurants here.” Taxis through the hotel cost 100+ vs 60 with Uber. Complaints about glass shards ignored, birthday not acknowledged, drinks spilled by pool never cleaned, and our bed left stuck high after housekeeping with no help despite multiple calls. Checkout was cold and dismissive - no “how was your stay,” just an invoice. Overall, this hotel pretends to be luxury but fails on every level. Feels like a neglected 3-star at best.

The hotel was marketed as a luxury property, but there was nothing luxurious about our experience. It felt more like a moderately nice Disney resort—crowded, noisy, and overrun with kids. There is no adults-only pool, which is astonishing for a resort of this size. The so-called “adults-only” area is directly adjacent to the main pool, so you’re still surrounded by noise and splashing. Our room had a persistent damp, musty odor, and the turn-down service was inconsistent at best. Only once did we receive proper service; on other nights, staff simply came in, closed the blinds, and left—leaving behind trash, used towels, and an unturned bed. This is not my definition of luxury. Dining was another frustration. While the food itself was decent, getting a reservation was a challenge due to the limited number of restaurants and tables compared to the size of the resort. Staff appeared constantly rushed and disorganized. One night, we were told we could dine as long as we left by 9:30 p.m.—we arrived at 8:00 and ordered immediately, yet service was so slow we didn’t leave until after 10:00. It even took 30 minutes to receive our bill, which was incorrect. We were repeatedly skipped for bread service despite trying to get the staff’s attention. Having just stayed at the Four Seasons in Marrakech—a true luxury property—the difference was night and day. This experience felt more like going from a high-end hotel to a budget motel. We left feeling disappointed and misled, our expectations falling far short of reality.

Bahía del Duque is truly an incredible 5-star hotel with exceptional service from start to finish. Small touches made a big difference — every morning we were warmly greeted and personally walked to our table at breakfast, which set the tone for the day. The location couldn’t be better, right on the beach with expansive grounds that are beautifully maintained. The variety of dining options is impressive, from multiple high-end restaurants to a Michelin-starred experience, all of which lived up to expectations. Our room was serviced daily to a very high standard, and the nightly turndown service with chocolates, slippers, and thoughtful touches made coming back from the evening shows feel extra special. There’s no shortage of activities on offer, and the gym is well-equipped with the latest Technogym equipment. The breakfast buffet was outstanding — fresh, varied, and of consistently high quality. Overall, Bahía del Duque delivers everything you’d expect from a world-class resort and more. Highly recommended for anyone looking for luxury, comfort, and exceptional hospitality in Tenerife.

Great experience overall! The view from my balcony was beautiful, and the food was delicious. Just wish check-in had been a bit faster."
