I had an incredible stay at Barceló Santiago! The views from the hotel were absolutely breathtaking, providing a stunning backdrop for the entire trip. The variety of food offered was impressive, catering to all tastes with delicious and well-prepared dishes. The highlight of the evenings was undoubtedly the amazing shows and entertainment, especially the sport program by Sofi, who made the experience even more enjoyable with her energy and charm. The hotel was spotless, and the staff ensured everything was clean and comfortable throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place!

Parking in the area

Views are amazing! Also staff and food quality is really good. There is good range of entertainment, great pool bar that is reasonable, if you have just part of boarding. Staff reacts really quickly to requests. Room maintenaince is very good and just overal well managed hotel.

Just some people being cheeky smoking at pool, would be great if they are managed more efficiently and escorted of the beds to smoking area. Overal, is just about guests really, one couple was really aggressive with their umbrella claiming they 'reserved it' earlier. Also, some people behaviours at restaurant just rude. I encourage staff to tell off guests that are rude :)

Amazing views of the Ocean and Los Gigantes from our balcony - felt like the extra cost of an Ocean View room was worth it! We were really happy with the food - fresh meat/seafood and the themed nights meant the food was different each day. Plenty of sunbeds, so there was no stress finding a nice place to relax each day. Great to be so close to Los Gigantes and Teide National Park.

A lot of noise and loud music in the evenings coming from nearby bars/hotels - didn't impact our overall experience but it was a shame to have the tranquil evenings spoiled by the noise.

The food from the pool bar was the best quality and tasty. Friendly Staff.

Loud noise during late hours 10pm-1am. Possibly employees cleaning or moving the chairs upstairs near the pool bar. There should be a way to organise a football game on their outside pitch. Drinks Service at dinner sometimes slow. Should be a drinks station (non-alcoholic) during dinner times as well as a tea/coffee stand open.

Very clean hotel. Beautiful hotel in amazing location, 3 swimming pools - one heated, spacious not crowded. Jacuzzi. Room specious with comfy beds, quiet. Balcony with amazing view. Delicious breakfast and dinners. Bar with delicious cocktails. Good entertainment. And most important thing : amazing stuff very polite and smiling all the time.

People reserved sun beds with towels from early morning hours and didn’t show until late afternoon!!!

Spacious and plenty of sunbeds and areas to chill out. Design of hotel very clever and meant everything was fairly close.

Dinner time in the buffet a little too busy.

This resort was absolutely stunning to say the least! The views alone make this place worth booking (dare I say, it has the best views on the entire island of Tenerife). I would HIGHLY suggest booking an ocean-view, otherwise, it may not be worth it haha. Emphasis on the "adult-only" as the crowd here is very mature. Would not recommend for younger crowds looking to be near the "turn-up" or party scene. Its very serene, quite, and relaxing...which I LOVED! The staff was pretty friendly and helpful for the most part. The massage was a solid 6 out of 10: I've had better and I've had way worst. Very relaxing nonetheless and the spa facility in general is worth checking out. The resort is situated in the cutest village and is in walking distance of a few bars, supermarkets, shops and restaurants. Super convenient location for the most part. It's about a 20-30 min drive from the airport and from the party, downtown area where a lot of the bars, beach clubs, and marinas are. There was only 1 excursion we booked that didn't pick us up from the resort because it was "too far". The island is actually very large, so distance is relative.

The food was incredibly subpar, but my expectations for resort buffets have never been that high. I would recommend getting the all-inclusive package that includes breakfast and lunch, but definitely encourage you to explore the village/towns and eat at local restaurants. Other than the food, the wifi is a super hit or miss. The 1st day, it completely didn't work (may have been a sign to disconnect from the world and not check emails while in paradise haha). But it kicked in on day 2 and was pretty solid after that. The drive into "downtown" and the airport can be consider far by some (about 20-30 mins away). Lastly, the water pressure/shower in general didn't really work well in our room. Other than that, it was a flawless stay!

It was an incredible breakfast, I liked the location

The only big minus was the Internet. Although the staff tried to do it, Wi-Fi did not work

Staff are amazing - helpful, friendly, genuine customer service. Reception staff helped change our room with no problem and organised early breakfast for us when we had an early excursion. Pool area - loved the three pools, the fact that one was heated, and of course the views. Nightly entertainment - some of the live music and acts were so incredible! Location - not in the party zone of Tenerife (double thumbs up). Lovely area with a few shops and restaurants within walking distance. Many of the tours and excursions will pick up and drop off from the hotel. Taxi rank right outside the hotel. Food - good. Better on some evenings than others; each night is a theme (Italian, American, Asian, Spanish, Canarian etc.) but always had a decent dinner. Breakfast buffet is really great. Overall: great resort, relaxed vibes and a great place for a chill holiday or to use a base to explore Tenerife.

Very loud room - live music from hotel entertainment finished, then live music from local town bar started. You could hear the music all over the small town. So crazy that it was that loud. I felt sorry for the local residents. Reception staff helped us change room the next day with no problem - they came back to us with a very affordable room upgrade which made our stay so much better! THANK YOU! The colleague at reception mentioned that their entertainment wasn't usually that loud. This turned out to be true, it was never that loud again on the other nights.

I loved that every day they had different dinner styles ex. Mexican, Italian... The options for food was very large and high quality, hands down the best part of this stay - dinner! Great view to the ocean from 7th/9 floor. Tennis court also was a good addition to the stay. I didn't like that people smoking in balconies had their smoke come in to the apartment every now and then, since I'm non smoker I hated this smell. Some of the staff didn't look so nice, like when they come to pick up plates looked angry from their work and did not say anything, didn't at least smile or said anything when I said thank you/gracias for picking up empty plates. Wish they had access to ocean from the hotel, but at least there were pools accessible. A lot of older people there, like 80%, i think they should call it seniors only, not adults only, but i digress, it's more of a joke. Also found quite a huge layer of dust on the wall above bed. All in all this was good stay for me mostly because of the view from balcony, food and comfortable bed. Some things could be improved, like the smoking part that was annoying.
