Bahia del Duque

Having stayed at a beautiful leading hotels of the world hotel in June,and having visited Adeje twice yearly in other 5 star hotels in the area for the past 6 years I was very saddened by this hotel as my expectations were high on this! Despite being set in beautiful grounds based on the design of a Canarian village ( which I loved) and having beautiful interiors around the hotel namely the reception lobby bar and restaurant square, it just simply was not of the standard of a LHW. Firstly I want to say the staff and the service was excellent and I couldn’t fault that and it made our stay enjoyable, however without being one of those people who pull everything apart in a review I just want to touch on the parts that I personally felt let the hotel standard down. If you have mobility issues you will struggle in this hotel as there are steep steps everywhere!! It wasn’t an issue for myself personally but it was for my partner and although the staff will willingly get you a buggy it might be something to consider. Rooms… we booked a double room garden view which was a good spacious size with a little balcony which was lovely; however the balcony set in the vegetation wasn’t swept once in the week we were there. The room itself was good in housekeeping standards, although the air conditioning needs modernising as it’s so noisy and dated you can’t sleep with it on and the television which does have some English channels if you fancy some viewing has very bad reception so it dips in and out of signal! We was on a half board basis at the hotel so got to choose 4 out of the 7 restaurants to have dinner in which was lovely and we could pick the fine dining options with a discount if we wanted. Enjoyed all the restaurants personally but take note all restaurants that HB can use have quite a few additional supplements on all the dishes so not entirely inclusive. Saying that all the restaurants we used the food was excellent Again the staff were lovely and the service was excellent in all of them Pool areas…. To me this is the biggest let down! …set amongst the gardens and all salt water pools amongst a rock pool aesthetic so very picturesque however all crowded and desperately in need of some maintenance and refreshing The surrounds to the pool in the pool upstairs were crumbling in parts and had loosened creating little stones and the parasols were dirty and nigh on impossible to navigate as they had no wheels on them and generally the pool areas were shabby and not reminiscent of a 5 star leading hotel of the world! Also don’t expect plenty of toilet facilities either which I found a bit surprising more than anything…. The large pool downstairs only had a toilet cabin with 2 cubicles to serve the whole area which was very large. I wanted so badly to love this hotel as I’ve walked past it endless times along the Duque beach front but sadly it was not anywhere near as luxurious as it is portrayed and I wouldn’t return on the strength of that

Another fantastic holiday in such a stunning hotel, thank you to everyone who works so hard to make it so special. Looking forward to our next return trip. Everywhere so clean , loving seeing all the cats and special black swan quite at home. My only negative is the food quality and service in the restaurants was not as good as on previous visits

Another return visit to the Bahia Del Duque and it certainly did not disappoint. My wife and I booked a 9-night stay and requested the exact same room we were in two years ago for our 30th wedding anniversary. It wasn't an issue at all, and it felt wonderful to be back. The service throughout the resort is outstanding. The pools and grounds are immaculately maintained with a huge variety of areas to relax, and the restaurants are sensational—both in the quality of the food and the decor, not to mention the overall dining experience on every visit. Our room, 520, was superb: plenty of wardrobe space, a nice balcony, a huge comfortable bed, and cleaned twice daily. We visited the spa twice, and what can I say—it is pure bliss. I went for a 60-minute relaxing massage, which was brilliant. I simply cannot compliment the management and staff highly enough as they are universally superb. Breakfast can get busy, but it is fantastic with plenty of choice set in an amazing environment. A special mention must go to Javier and Jose Pino for their outstanding service, as well as Aina down at the Chiringuito beach club. If you’re planning a trip to Tenerife, the Bahia Del Duque is well worth a visit.

Superb hotel/resort, with excellent staff and facilities. Good choice of restaurants.

Simply the best holiday experience ever and I’ve been to a fair few hotels including Ikos nothing compares for me to this. I love it and the black swan 💕
