Fantastic Christmas holiday in Tenerife at Royal Hideaway Corales. Most likely the best and most beautiful hotel on the island. Fantastic overall with great, friendly staff plus all the facilities were first class. Positives: As mentioned above - beautiful setting, clean and never feels too busy Great restaurants (with La Tratorria our favourite) Rooms great, clean and spacious with turn-down service in evenings Staff members go out of their way to help with anything - Justine was amazing and also Andrea at the pool just as brilliant. Loads of sunloungers and beds available. Some of our critique would be about main pool temperature - it is slightly heated but still very cold and you can see that from most people not even trying to go into water - most kids did but did not stay in for long. Why not heat it a few degrees more so it’s enjoyable for everyone to use? There are 3 different restaurants in the hotel with Michelin stars (we have young kids so did not book these). La Tratorria is Italian serving lovely pastas, pizzas etc. which was our favourite. Starfish is a seafood restaurant which we found disappointing - very pricy for small portions (we were all still hungry after!) but I suppose that’s how it goes. We also went outside the hotel for a meal at Kai in La Caleta which we enjoyed (everything in La Caleta is walking distance). Overall great experience and can’t fault much at all. The room had a lovely kitchen which we used a few evenings. We took Hoppy scooters to the nearest supermarket which was quick and easy (just download the app and follow instructions). We had a great stay and the kids enjoyed it too. Will we be back - if you fly to sunny shores to get away from a cold Christmas you’d at least expect to be able to use the pool more which we usually love doing…. Who knows, let’s see… (We had a fantastic daytrip to see dolphins, sea turtles and pilot whales with the Monte Cristo crew - highlight of our trip. Food and drinks included plus pick up from hotel. Saw soo many dolphins etc - definitely book this!)
