To put it in one sentence - if you are traveling to Tenerife and you have the financial means, be sure to go to this hotel!
In a row.
1. Flight. You just need to be patient. Stock up on an iPad with downloaded movies and eat before you leave. The food is bad, no one will entertain you, and the flight lasts longer than 6 hours.
2. Transfer from the airport. Keep in mind that the Abama hotel will most likely be the last one in the disembarkation of passengers, so if you don’t want to ride around other hotels for 1.5 hours, take a taxi (it will cost 40 euros), and in 25 minutes you will be at the hotel.
3. Settlement. They settled us in 20 minutes. The girl at the reception explained everything very well - how to have dinner, what is where, etc. They are treated to champagne or a delicious mango fresh juice to choose from.
4. Number. Wow! Very big, beautiful, comfortable. We had ocean view. The room has a large balcony with chairs and a table. The bed is big. The only negative for me is that I like hard mattresses, and in the hotel they are very soft. As a result, my back hurt every morning... Of course, this is not for everyone. I think that if you ask to somehow solve this problem, then they will come up with something.
5. Room cleaning. Good. They left a tip of 1 euro. It happened that when they came to the room there was cleaning, but it did not bother, they finished very quickly. Every day they put very tasty chocolates near the bed. : )
6. The hotel as a whole. VERY green. For Tenerife, this is rare. The territory is huge. Huge golf courses. It's certainly not for everyone, but still. To the sea on foot about 15 minutes from the main building. If you go back from the sea - longer, because it's steep uphill. But for those who are too lazy, a buggy constantly drives. By the way, if you settle in some types of villas, they give you your own buggy for the duration of your stay.
7. Nutrition. Breakfast is very good, although not very varied. Tasty. Pastries, fruits, cheeses, sausages, salted fish, eggs of different types, yoghurts. We traveled expecting that we only included breakfast, and a very pleasant surprise was dinner at the hotel restaurants as a gift. Although you have to pay extra for drinks and not all meals are included - some have to be paid extra. However, the savings are still significant. I really liked the restaurant with Canarian cuisine by the pool - a form of buffet, but very tasty seafood, which is immediately cooked on the grill. Of course, the hotel restaurant, which has a Michelin star, was very pleased with the author's cuisine. The experience of visiting this restaurant is excellent. Didn't really like the Chinese restaurant. It is considered very glamorous and expensive, but this is not for everyone - fusion cuisine. Good Italian restaurant too. I really liked the cafe on the beach - huge portions. Tasty.
8. Beach. Small cove. Considered one of the best beaches on the island. Yellow imported sand. Not bad. True, after the bay of the Hillside Hotel in Fethiye (Turkey), I was not particularly surprised by anything. It is better to come to the beach in the morning, because the beach is small and if you come late, there may not be enough sunbeds and umbrellas. All beaches on the island are municipal, so even this hotel beach is visited by locals to swim. As a result, there are a lot of people on Saturday and Sunday. But it didn't really bother me at all.
9. Pools. There are two of them near the main building, and there are still small ones further near the villas. The main pool is very beautiful, with a convenient shallow entrance for children. But we did not swim there, because there were a lot of children. We enjoyed another pool which is "adults only". Magnificent mattresses and "boars", cozy, very green and quiet. We loved to lie on the mattresses and drink delicious sangria (champagne with ice and various chopped fruits - yum-yum).
10. SPA. Excellent! We went to the Water treatment (such as all sorts of sayny-jacuzzi) and aroma massage. Fabulous!
11. Excursions. We are not fans of driving in a big noisy crowd with a tight schedule. We took an individual guide by car, and did not regret it. In one day we looked at the whole island - and Loro Park, and Masque, and everything else. Another half day spent on the volcano - Teide. Be sure to go to the volcano, unforgettable impressions! Just go in the morning, before the crowds of tourists have yet come, otherwise you can stand in line for an hour near the ski lift.
We also went to the water park. Gorges are great! Just do not be stingy to pay extra 15 euros per person - and you will be given bracelets with which you can go down the slides 8 times without a queue. This is really enough! You crawl out of there barely, overwhelmed with emotions. Since there are a lot of people, without such bracelets you will have to stand in line for 30-40 minutes for each hill.
We were at a Flamenco concert. For an amateur. I liked it, but my husband wanted to run away during the intermission.
Recommendation: do not count on travel checks, it is better to take enough cash with you. We relied on traveler's checks, and were able to change them with great difficulty after calling American Express. Nobody wants to change them, because fakes often come across.
Summary: the hotel is VERY good. For the discerning. I personally found only one minus - the bed is too soft. All other hotels on the island are in noisy cities, with shared beaches. When we walked around Las Americas, I had the feeling that I was walking around Yalta. This is an amateur, of course, but this type of recreation bothers me a little. Abama is like an island of relaxation. But if you wish, you can always take a taxi - and in 10 minutes you are hanging out in the city.
Come here for sure!
