Bahia Principe Sunlight Tenerife

We stayed at the Bahia Principe Sunlight, Tenerife side for a week, commencing July 23rd. The hotel had good facilities and the staff were great, especially the animation team - fabulous with kids! However, the hotel is in need of some TLC, especially in the rooms. Furthermore, at capacity, it is very crowded and getting a sun lounger can be a real challenge! I have heard that the hotel will be undergoing a 10-month renovation, commencing in January 2025. I am sure they will address and modernise during that time. The Adeje side of the complex, is more tranquil, whilst also being very busy. It is more spacious.

The staff were friendly, polite and efficient. Plenty of choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner at the buffet. Food good quality and well presented. Rooms clean and well appointed although some of the plumbing was a bit dated (Shower on flexible from bath tap. Bath took about an hour to fill). Bar service was efficient and most drinks were available as all inclusive. Large family friendly pools with plenty of sunbeds. Use of facilities at adjacent sister hotel was a great advantage.

Awesome holiday for the kids, entertainment was superb, Jose teresa and co were awesome from start to finish, lots of activities water polo basket aqua zumba etc lots to do for them. Food for all inclusive was decent, lots of variety each night, property was super clean, lots of staff around each morning cleaning, and always a good morning very friendly. My only criticism is the sunbed situation each morning, peak season so most likely everywhere around is the same.overall superb Would definitely come back Thanks Bahlia Principe

I would not book to stay here again. You have to be up by 7 in the morning to get a sun-bed as people are queuing, one morning one of the staff said to all the crowd 'are you ready' then everyone just ran for the sunbeds. They literally go within seconds. Also the hotel is dirty, not so bad around the pool area but the room was filthy. The food was good and some of the staff were friendly. Ifs a nice spot round the infinity pool. We had a junior suite, the tele and the jet bath didnt work. Took them a while to actually Fix it. I found the reception staff rude and unapproachable. The best think about it was the italian restaurant.

Staff was amazing, very tentative and patient. They were always ready to service and ensure you are happy. The hotel rooms for families are a little outdated. Beds were very uncomfortable. I did not like the fact that everyday all guest were lied to, about the wifi connection. It was very inconsistent the entire stay. Overall the location is perfect, pool area beautiful and the village was excellent.

Overall, I found the property clean and well maintained with excellent customer service. The 'Sunlight' is the smaller sister to the 'Costa Adeje' resort and share a lot of the amenities, which I did not really understand until we arrived. The resort is situated on a cliff with a beautiful view and some walking paths. The thing I did not like was that it was secluded, meaning you could not walk to other shops, restaurants, etc. You could get a bus to other areas like Playa de las Americas, but otherwise you would need a car or taxi to visit more populated areas. The buffet was convenient and well stocked, but after a few meals, I was 'over it'. I think this place is well suited for large groups, with small kids, that are just fine hanging out by the pool all day and enjoying the 'resort life' without really wanting to explore the rest of the island. Thank you for the wonderful trip, BH Sunlight.

It was our first time at the Bahia Principe. We’ve been to Tenerife many times and, after reading the customer reviews, we booked an all-inclusive break just after Easter. Our rooms were lovely, two junior suites. Check-in was quick and from the very beginning the staff were friendly and helpful. The main buffet restaurant was great and every evening there was a range of entertainment at both hotels guaranteeing plenty for us to do. Our teenage son had plenty of activities to do during the days and he easily made friends of his age as the week progressed. The concierge recommended a great local restaurant in Playa Las Americas which we ventured out to break up the routine. The only criticism we had was that the hotel’s a la carte restaurants were a bit basic. The real treat was the Indian restaurant in the square with an unbelievable set-price menu. Definitely worth going there - at least once (we went twice!) Overall, I’d recommend this hotel - book the Costa Adeje if you have young children or choose the Tenerife if you’ve got older children or if you’re adults only. Great value for money. Very relaxing hotel and don’t get too stressed about people getting up early to put towels on the sun loungers ‘cos there is plenty of spaces around the various pools of each hotel.
