The short version: Stay. The H10 Atlantic Sunset is one of the strongest modern family resorts on the west coast of Tenerife. Beautiful architecture, art genuinely everywhere (including in the rooms), arguably the best splash park I’ve seen at a Spanish resort, a kids’ club good enough that getting my son out of it was the hardest part of the trip, engaging family entertainment, and the Privilege tier adds a rooftop infinity pool that nobody else gets near. There are some real misses — the à la carte allocation is stingy, premium ice creams are locked behind a paywall on all-inclusive, and Wi-Fi by most of the pools is poor — but none of them outweigh how good the headline experience is. Visited 9 to 12 August 2025, three nights as a family.

First impressions
You arrive under a set of gates and slip into either the above-ground or below-ground car park, both included in your rate, which is already a small but real win because plenty of nearby resorts charge extra. From there you walk into a properly impressive atrium: a tall, light-filled space with a big skylight, contrasting white against banks of greenery, a small retail outlet to the left (sun cream, buoyancy aids, souvenirs), and reception to the right with the welcome drink and snack ritual. Reception sits on the fifth floor of the property, which is unusual — most of the action happens further down, on the third floor and below — but it gives you the building’s headline view as you check in.
The whole resort is full of art. Big sculptural pieces in the public spaces, recessed lighting bringing wall art alive in the rooms, lighting design that thinks about how it’ll be used at every hour of the day. It’s the kind of place where someone has genuinely thought about how the building will look, not just how it will function. For a family resort, that’s rare.
The pools
There are several pools worth knowing about, all distinct, and the resort is set on a slope so they sit at different levels of the property. None of them are adults-only, but there are sections where the resort heavily advises against ball games and noise, which is a sensible compromise.
The infinity pool is at the lowest level and it’s the one with the headline view. The infinity edge frames the Atlantic, with La Gomera visible across the water on a clear day. It’s the most tranquil of the pools and the one I came back to for the verdict piece-to-camera at the end of the trip. Worth the walk down.
The Circle pool is the largest — confusingly named, it isn’t actually circular, but it sits adjacent to the Circle Bar, which is where the name comes from. This is where the daytime activities happen, AquaGym in particular. The swim-up rooms run along one edge, which is a properly cool feature even if there are only a few of them. If you can book one, it’s the kind of thing kids remember.
The family pool sits alongside what is, frankly, the headline feature of the resort for families: a large, modern splash park with multi-level water play, tipping buckets and slides. I’ve seen a lot of Spanish splash parks at this point. This one is up there with the very best. The kids spent serious time on it and there’s enough variety that they didn’t get bored across three days. The family pool itself has had inflatables out at various points during our stay, which made it more than just a place to swim.
There’s also a separate shallow kids’ pool for the youngest guests, and the Privilege rooftop infinity pool sits at the top of the building with views across to La Gomera (more on that below — it’s a Privilege-tier perk). The spa has its own pool too, which I haven’t included in the count.
The splash park
Worth its own section. This is the single thing that I’d point at if I were trying to convince a family to choose the H10 Atlantic Sunset over its competition on Tenerife. It’s modern, the equipment is in genuinely good condition (no faded plastic or rusty fixings), and the layout means kids of different ages can use it without getting in each other’s way. The tipping bucket on top works. The slides work. The kids loved it.
The rooms
We were in a Family Room and it’s a solid one. Coming through the door, the bathroom is on the right with a dual vanity unit (a properly useful feature when you’ve got kids), towels and robes and slippers laid out, a large shower with both rainfall and handheld attachments, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner provided, lovely clean tiles, a well-lit mirror, a separate zoom-in vanity, scales and a hair dryer. The toilet sits in its own little space. Clean, modern, no complaints.
The main room itself is where some genuinely thoughtful touches start to add up. The tea and coffee area has both a kettle and an espresso machine, which puts it ahead of most properties at this tier. The mini-bar fridge is the standout: not just water and soft drinks but actual snacks, replenished every two days. That’s an unusual and generous all-inclusive inclusion — most resorts either don’t restock the mini bar at all, or restock the drinks and skip the snacks. The kids appreciated this enormously.
Storage is decent (hanging space and drawers), the double bed is large and comfortable, the wall art is striking and the recessed lighting around the room is one of those small things you don’t notice on day one but love by day three. The sofa is made up for kids in the family layout. The balcony is significantly bigger than you’d expect for this kind of resort — two big chairs and proper space to actually use it — looking out over the pool bar and the pools beyond, with the kids’ pool visible in the distance. East-facing in our case, so you get the sunrise rather than the sunset.
Overall, the rooms are modern, clean, and benefit from the same eye for lighting and art that runs through the whole resort.
The food
Most guests will be eating breakfast, lunch and dinner at Central Market, the main buffet. With around 300 rooms in the property, every meal needs pre-booking via the H10 app or guest services, even if only fifteen minutes in advance. Once that registers it isn’t a problem; the team is responsive and the app is straightforward. Walk in without a booking, though, and you’ll wait.
The buffet itself is strong. You’re welcomed at the door, drinks come to the table, and the spread is properly varied. The bread and pizza station has bona fide veggie and meat options (the veggie pizza I tried was genuinely good). Live cooking stations turn out pasta dishes, paella (the seafood paella in particular looked excellent), wok-cooked rice and noodles with vegetables and shrimp, the inevitable wrinkled Canarian potatoes, hake in green sauce, pork with proper crackling, beef and turkey carved to order. Croquettes (the chef on the croquette station was particularly good fun, one of several characters the team had on the floor). Tempura vegetables.
There’s an ambient station with one of the best cheese selections I’ve seen at this tier, plus chutney and dates, and a series of properly composed salad bowls — caprese, white bean with beef and avocado, panzanella, a Caesar variant — all presented in nice individual bowls rather than as a sad serving-spoon trough. Dried meats (the standard Spanish charcuterie spread), Mediterranean vegetables in oil, capers, olives. The crockery and the portion sizes deserve a mention: the resort has paid attention here in a way that most all-inclusives haven’t.
Desserts: fresh fruit (pears, apples, nectarines, plums), cakes, cheesecakes, pastries, profiteroles, plus four ice creams (chocolate, strawberry, mint, vanilla) with sauces and toppings, and a row of those cigar-shaped wafer sticks that I enjoyed as an adult, never mind the kids. Lots of variety.
The buffet sits inside, plus a sizeable outdoor terrace with views across to the Hard Rock Hotel further along the coast. There’s clear variation between lunch and dinner.
Breakfast at Central Market is also good. Pastries, donuts (the kids loved adding more sprinkles), waffles, churros, toast, a custom omelette station (with the queue you’d expect), eggs Benedict which were a nice surprise to find, Spanish tortilla, sausages including black pudding, what looked like a slightly spicy continental option, mushrooms, baked beans, tomatoes, hash browns (a few stuck together, but most were fine), fried eggs, porridge, grilled sandwiches (some slightly under-toasted), crepes with sauces, cakes, salad items, infused water, juices (watch out — not all the “orange” looking ones are orange; one labelled orange turned out to be pineapple, and we had a mango one too), fruit, dried meats and cheeses, cava (a nice touch at breakfast), yogurts including kids’ yogurts, dried nuts, cereals including Sugar Puffs and Nesquik, and teapots which were a proper premium touch.
For lunch you have an alternative to the main buffet: the Circle Bar by the pools. We had chicken nuggets and chips for the kids, a falafel-style kebab dish for me, and a hamburger for my wife, plus a lemon pie pudding to follow. All decent. A good option if you don’t want to leave the pool area for lunch.
For daytime drinks and snacks there are two options. Mike’s is the coffee shop just off the lobby — beautifully done out with wood panelling and artwork, doing coffees, smoothies, espresso martinis (the only cocktail they do, oddly), and a cabinet of cakes, treats and cookies. Consume on site only, no takeaway, but the outdoor terrace overlooking the pools is one of the nicest places in the resort to sit with a coffee. It opens at 10:30am. The other option is Daisy’s truck next to the splash park: slushies, crisps, anything you need, with a properly cheeky chap running it who became one of the kids’ favourite people on the trip.
For à la carte dinner you have three options. Route 66 takes over the Circle Bar in the evenings (the lowest-effort option). Sakura is the teppanyaki — two teppanyaki stands in the theatre format, over-12s only, which ruled us out with the kids. Stromboli is the Italian, in some genuinely premium-looking surroundings. The catch: if you’re staying for four nights you get one à la carte included; eight nights gets you two. We were here for three nights, which gets you none, so we didn’t get to try any of them. The reasoning is presumably to extend stays, but for a family staying a week it does mean the buffet starts to feel monotonous. If I could change one thing, it would be this.
The kids’ club, arcade and playground
The kids’ club is called Daisies, and the team running it deserve specific credit. They do themed days — space day, dinosaur day, etc. — and the activities are imaginative rather than the usual all-inclusive kids’-club fare. My son came back with something he’d made on dinosaur day that he was genuinely proud of, and the team have such a good approach that getting him out at the end of the day was the hardest part of the trip. He’s been in plenty of kids’ clubs over the years, and this is the one he’s been least willing to leave.
Next door there’s an arcade. I didn’t bring any change so the kids couldn’t actually use it, but unlike some hotel arcades that feel dark and dingy, this one has a window through to the family pool and feels like a deliberate part of the resort rather than an afterthought.
Just by the family pool there’s a small playground with a tower and a basket seat. Playgrounds in Spain are an interesting category because the heat can make them unusable in the middle of the day, but the kids still loved it during cooler hours.
The entertainment
Two centres of entertainment. La Sala, the theatre, runs the kitty disco twice every evening (a family-favourite fixture) and a main show afterwards. Both shows I saw were genuinely high-quality and engaging — the magician got the audience up on stage (including me), the Brazilian dance act pulled people in, the kind of performance where it feels like the team actually wants the audience involved rather than performing at them. That’s the bit that builds memories on a family holiday.
The terrace above the reception level handles the music-led entertainment — singers and live music acts of an evening, with the late-night activity running from the bar up there too.
What is Privilege, and is it worth it?
Privilege is the upgrade tier here. A whole section of the building unlocks once you’re in it, plus a couple of features non-Privilege guests don’t see.
The Privilege Lounge is properly comfortable — a strong selection of drinks, small food items, and a seating area that extends out onto a terrace. The dining space alongside is where Privilege guests have breakfast and dinner if they want to, separate from the main Central Market. If you’re someone who values a quieter, more curated meal experience and doesn’t want to navigate a 300-room buffet at peak times, this alone may justify the upgrade.
The other Privilege perk worth knowing about is the rooftop infinity pool. It sits at the top of the building, with views across to La Gomera, plenty of loungers (packed away in the wind by the time I got up there), and the kind of setting most resorts would charge à la carte for. One catch: it closes at 7pm, so you don’t get the sunset from it. The west-facing main resort views handle that for you, but if a rooftop sunset cocktail is the image in your head, you won’t get it here.
Combined with the included à la carte access for Privilege guests, this is one of the strongest upgrade-tier propositions of any resort I’ve reviewed. If you’re considering whether to spend the extra, I’d say yes.
The small things that drag the score
The honest detractors.
One à la carte per four nights. The most consequential miss. For families staying a week, this rationing makes the buffet repetitive by mid-week. The teppanyaki and the Italian are the destination dinners and they should be more accessible. Push them to two per four nights and it’s a different proposition.
Teppanyaki over-12s only. Means that anyone travelling with younger kids loses the more theatrical of the two à la cartes entirely. A workable rule from the resort’s point of view, frustrating from the family’s.
Premium ice creams are locked away behind a paywall on all-inclusive. The standard ice creams are included, but the proper lollies (the sort the Hard Rock and others include) sit in cabinets that you have to pay extra for, even with the all-inclusive wristband on. Out of step with what most Tenerife resorts at this tier offer. The single most surprising miss of the stay.
The buffet meats. Most of the buffet is genuinely strong but the meat section in particular was weaker than the rest. Not a deal-breaker (the variety elsewhere compensates), but worth flagging.
It’s windy. The resort sits on a headland, and the prevailing wind that Tenerife gets in general hits here more than it does at neighbouring resorts. The rooftop Privilege pool in particular was being packed up early on at least one of our days.
Sunbeds aren’t reservable, and the lifeguards are strict. Both double-edged: good news in that you can usually find a sunbed, less good in that if you leave it for too long someone else (or the team) may move your things. The strict lifeguarding is a feature for some families, a frustration for others.
Wi-Fi by most of the pools is poor. The infinity pool works well; the rest are patchy at best and unusable at worst. Worth knowing if you’ve got teenagers expecting to stay connected by the splash park, or if (like me) you sometimes need to take a call from the lounger.
The small things that lift it
The architecture and the art. The whole resort is beautifully designed, clean throughout, and properly thought-through in terms of light and space. The art in the rooms and the public spaces makes the property feel curated rather than mass-market. Rare at this tier.
The room. Modern, clean, great use of lighting, lovely artwork, the espresso machine, and the mini-bar with included snacks restocked every two days. The included snacks in particular are the kind of small thoughtful inclusion that costs the resort almost nothing and lifts the guest experience meaningfully.
The splash park. Already covered. Possibly the best in Spain in this category.
The staff. Several deserve named credit. Marcos Gomez in the food and beverage team — properly cheeky in the best way, the sort of character who turns a buffet meal into an event. The gentleman running Daisy’s truck — same energy. The team at Mike’s coffee shop. Mar from guest relations, who was excellent. A resort of this size lives or dies by the floor team, and the H10 Atlantic Sunset’s team is one of the strongest I’ve encountered.
The family shows. Genuinely high-quality, properly engaging, audience involvement built in. Both shows I saw were a notch above the standard all-inclusive cabaret offering.
Parking is free, which (as anyone who’s stayed at other Costa Adeje properties will tell you) adds up.
The resort is easy to navigate. Laid out in a straight line down the headland — most resorts of this size make you walk in figure-of-eights to get anywhere; this one is genuinely simple.
The view from the infinity pool is exceptional. Worth the walk down at least once.
And the kids’ club. Already covered, but worth saying twice. Getting Bertie out of Daisies to leave the resort was the hardest part of the trip. That’s the highest endorsement a kids’ club can get.
Who is the H10 Atlantic Sunset for?
Families wanting a modern, design-led, all-inclusive base on the west coast of Tenerife with the best splash park on the island and a kids’ club that the kids will actively prefer to the pool. Couples will also get a lot out of it (the infinity pool, the Privilege rooftop, the art and architecture, Mike’s coffee shop), but the headline experience here is family-led.
It’s NOT the right resort if you want an unlimited à la carte experience (the rationing is real), if you have young children who’d love the teppanyaki (over-12s only), or if you want a windless headland (you won’t get one here). And if quiet, paper-thin nighttime entertainment is the assignment, look at the Bahía del Duque on the same coast — the H10 leans into family energy in the evenings rather than away from it.
If the budget allows, book Privilege. The lounge, the dining, the rooftop pool and the included à la carte access together make a properly compelling upgrade — one of the strongest at any resort I’ve reviewed.
Frequently asked questions
The verdict: stay or stay away?
The honest detractors first. The à la carte rationing of one restaurant per four nights is too tight for a family staying a week. Sakura’s over-12s-only rule cuts younger children out of the more theatrical option. The premium ice cream lollies sitting in locked cabinets behind an all-inclusive paywall is the most surprising and most frustrating miss. The buffet meats are weaker than the rest of the buffet. The headland exposes the resort to more wind than its neighbours. Sunbeds aren’t reservable. The Wi-Fi by most of the pools is poor.
On the other side: the splash park is possibly the best at any Spanish resort I’ve reviewed. The Daisies kids’ club is the most “my kids didn’t want to leave” club I’ve encountered in years of family travel. The architecture and the art throughout the property are properly thought-through. The Family Room is modern, clean, generously equipped, with an espresso machine and a mini-bar restocked with snacks every two days. The Central Market buffet is strong on most categories and exceptional on cheese and desserts. The infinity pool view earns its place at the bottom of the property. The team — Marcos Gomez, Mar, the Daisy’s truck team, Mike’s coffee shop — turns a structurally strong resort into something properly fun. Parking is included. The site is easy to navigate. And Privilege adds a rooftop infinity pool with La Gomera views that few other Costa Adeje resorts can match.
The H10 Atlantic Sunset is a clear stay. My wife told me she could have stayed here for the whole week, and that’s not something she says lightly. Put it at or near the top of your shortlist for a Tenerife family holiday, particularly if your kids are splash-park age and you can afford the Privilege upgrade. Stay.

00:00 Welcome to the H10 Atlantic Sunset here on the beautiful island of Tenerife. This is The Resort Report and I’m going to be giving you a full guide and review of this property. We’re going to be covering the pools, the food, the restaurants, the entertainment, the bedrooms, and so much more. But first, I want to jump in those pools, so come on in and dive with me.
00:28 I’m starting the pool tour down at the lowest pool, which is the infinity pool — a beautiful pool with that infinity edge, the property just behind me. No area of this resort is adults-only, but there are a few sections where it’s heavily advised that children don’t go, and if they are there, that they’re respectful (no ball games, no shouting, no screaming). Excluding the spa, there’s a few pools here: this one, the Circle pool, the family pool, the kids’ pool, and (excluding the spa) a “secret” pool which I’ll show you later. Beautiful infinity edge — very tranquil down here.
01:37 Behind me now is the Circle pool — not actually circular, but the largest of the pools, featuring daytime activities like AquaGym, which I’ll show you later. It sits adjacent to the Circle Bar, which is where it gets its name. Lovely pool, connected to the swim-up rooms. Only a few of those here, but they look really cool.
02:15 Now I’m at the family pool, which features this huge modern splash park for the kids. Really, really good and incredibly high quality — let me take you on there. The family pool itself has had inflatables out, which has been really cool to see. Let me show you that splash park now, joined by Bertie and Flo.
03:45 Arriving by coach or car, you’ll come under these amazing gates and through into either above-ground or below-ground car park, included in the rate. Then this beautiful building to walk into. Revolving doors — forgive me for not going through right now. Turning the camera around, a beautiful atrium with that contrasting white to the greenery of the plants, a big skylight. Off to the left we have a small retail outlet (buoyancy aids, sun cream, souvenirs). Round to the right, reception where you’ll be checked in and given your welcome drink and snack. Guest relations just over there. We’re on the fifth floor of the property — most of the action happens on the third, but out here on this lobby is where late-night entertainment happens, alongside this bar. Really cool welcome atrium for the H10 Atlantic Sunset. Look at that view. Beautiful.
05:18 Lots of entertainment happens here at the H10 Atlantic Sunset. Most of it is in La Sala, the theatre — you can see the kitty disco behind me, happening twice every evening. They also do a decent show every evening — usually family-focused. Both shows we’ve seen have been fantastic. I’m looking forward to this evening’s. Up on the terrace is where you get more music-based entertainment — singers, performers. Let me give you a megamix of that entertainment now.
13:24 Quick tour of a family room here at the H10 Atlantic Sunset. Coming in, I’ll turn the camera around — I’ll take you down there in a minute, but first through these doors into the bathroom: a dual vanity unit, towels, slippers and robes, a large shower including rainfall and handheld, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, lovely clean tiles, a well-lit mirror, a zoom-in vanity unit. Toilet has its own space, nice artwork. There’s a weighing scale and hair dryer.
14:30 Coming through back into the room, tea and coffee — an espresso machine as well as a modern kettle, water available. In here, the safe and the mini-bar fridge. Love this: not only water, beer, Fanta, Sprite, Coke, but actual snacks, replenished every two days. Looking forward to tucking into some of those goodies with the kids. Storage just here — hanging and drawer space. Lovely big double bed, really like this wall art, lovely feature. Recessed lighting all around the room, that fan, this lamp. A bit of housekeeping I’d push back on — must be a dust trap up there. TV. The sofa is made up for kids — this is a family room. This piece of wall art is really cool too — love how they’ve used light to bring it alive. We have a balcony way bigger than you might expect, loads of space, two big chairs, looking out over the pool bar and the pools. We should get the sunrise coming in here. Can just see the kids’ pool off in the distance. Pretty solid room, very nice, modern, clean, great use of light.
16:26 Whilst there are a number of à la carte restaurants, most people will be having breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Central Market restaurant. Taking you inside for dinner. Welcomed by these beautiful people, taken to a table where drinks are served at the table. The boulangerie has some bread there, plus pizza dishes — I’ve tried this veggie option and it’s wonderful. Options for veggies and meat eaters. Hot dog stand. Two pasta dishes — one bolognese, this one with what looks like mussels. Risotto with shrimps, ravioli and gnocchi, mashed potato, those Canarian wrinkled potatoes. Beef and turkey carved fresh. Seafood paella. Pork with great crackling, looks delicious. Hake in some kind of green sauce. Chicken and mushrooms. Wok station — rice with vegetables in soy, noodles with shrimp, artichokes, broccoli, asparagus, squid, swordfish. Croquettes — this gentleman has been looking after us very well today, quite the character. Croquette fries and veg tempura.
18:38 Seating both inside and outside. Before we go outside, this ambient station — cheeses with chutney, dates. Love these bowls: caprese salad, white bean, beef and avocado salad. Salad items with sauces. Tuna, avocado. More salad with capers, olives. Caesar salads. Love the crockery and portion sizes. This cup of cold soup is celery, apple and cucumber — couldn’t think of anything worse to eat. Make-your-own bruschetta with tomato and olive on toasted bread. Panzanella along with some pasta salad. All-you-care-to-eat. Great selection of dried meats. Mediterranean vegetables in oil. Back to the cheeses. Onto desserts: pears, apples, nectarines, plums, those-aren’t-Maltesers-they’re-something-similar, cakes, cheesecakes, pastries, profiteroles. Four types of ice cream: chocolate, strawberry, mint, vanilla — sauces to add. Those cigar wafers I enjoy as an adult. Pineapple, melon, lemon, peaches, strawberry, mango.
21:54 Outside there’s some variation between lunch and dinner. The outdoor dining area — a few people braving the warmth this early in the evening. You can see out to the Hard Rock Hotel and beyond to La Gomera. That’s dinner here in the main buffet at the H10 Atlantic Sunset.
22:32 Daytime options for food and drink. First, Mike’s — a coffee shop, done out really nicely with wood panelling, artwork. Coffees, smoothies, only one cocktail (an espresso martini), a selection of cakes, treats, cookies. No takeaway, consume on site. Outdoor seating overlooking the pools — really great place to sit any time of day, opens 10:30am. The other daytime option is next to the splash park: Daisy’s truck. A cheeky chap working there giving out slushies, crisps, anything you want really.
23:53 Back in the Central Market for breakfast. Welcomed by these lovely ladies. Pastries — donuts (the kids loved adding more sprinkles), waffles, churros, toast. Big queue here for custom-made omelettes. Eggs Benedict, Spanish tortilla. Sausages including black pudding. Some kind of spicy continental option. Mushrooms, baked beans, tomatoes. Various green vegetables. More mushrooms cooked there. Potatoes, hash browns (some sticking together — not all the way cooked, but most are fine). Fried eggs. Porridge. Sandwiches, grilled — some not as toasted as I might have liked. Coffee delivered to the table.
25:39 Over to the freestanding sections. More bread items. Another toaster. Crepes with sauces. Donuts come back. Cakes. A microwave being used. Oils and vinaigrettes. Salad items. If you really want to wake up, get one of these. Infused and still water. Juices — watch out, classic mistake, not all of these are orange. We have mango, and yesterday one labelled orange was pineapple, which was a surprise for the kids. Fruit. Dry meats and cheeses. There is cava available, which is a nice touch. More sauces — honey, strawberry, peach. Dried nuts. Yogurts including kids’ yogurts. More sauces. Love these teapots — really good premium touch. Milks, duplicated on the other side. Cereals including Sugar Puffs and Nesquik.
27:53 One thing worth saying before we leave this restaurant: whilst it looks large enough, there are nearly 300 rooms here, so it does get busy and you do need to pre-book all your meal times via the app or guest services. Those bookings can happen as short as 15 minutes before, but you have to do it nevertheless. So make sure you have the app or contact guest services for all your meal times. Here, 15 minutes’ notice is really fine.
28:36 Another option for lunch other than the main buffet is the Circle Bar. Our food just got delivered — chicken nuggets and chips for the kids, a falafel kebab-style dish which is lovely for me, hamburger for my wife. Another option for lunch if you don’t fancy the main buffet and want to hang out by the pools. Check out these lemon pie puddings — nice.
29:20 Worth noting: while on all-inclusive you get these ice creams, the good stuff — those — are locked away in cabinets. Even on all-inclusive you don’t get those, which is a bit of a shame.
29:37 À la carte: three main choices. Route 66 takes over the Circle Café, and these two more serious options behind me. If you’re staying for four nights or more, you get one à la carte included; eight nights, you get two. So it’s there to extend your stay. Sakura is teppanyaki — over-12s only, two teppanyaki stands as theatre. We unfortunately didn’t get a reservation because we’re only here for three nights. Stromboli — Italian, premium surroundings. Two serious à la cartes plus Route 66 taking over the Circle. If you can get in, the teppanyaki is where you want to be, but it’s over-12s only.
30:54 Now I want to talk to you about Privilege. This whole building unlocks the Privilege Lounge and the Privilege swimming pool. If you’re staying in the Privilege part of the resort you get access to this wonderful lounge, with a great selection of drinks, some small food items, a lovely seating area that extends onto the terrace. Just here behind me is the dining area where breakfast and dinner are served, but only for Privilege members, people in Privilege room classes. Certainly something to consider, especially with those inclusive à la carte restaurant access perks.
32:01 A little bit windy up here, but one of the huge perks of being in Privilege is this rooftop infinity pool with these amazing views. Usually you can see La Gomera over there. The team have kindly let me come up and check it out just after it’s closed — imagine sitting up here. Plenty of loungers, just packed up because of the wind, as well as parasols. Really good perk and something I’d like to chill out in of a daytime. Closes at 7pm though, so you miss the sunset — but it’ll be coming down in a few hours. Rooftop infinity pool, very nice indeed at the H10 Atlantic Sunset.
32:52 Behind me now is the kids’ club, Daisies. The kids have really enjoyed it. I particularly like that they do theme days — today is space day, yesterday was dinosaur day, Bertie came back with a wonderful thing he made. Next door is an arcade — kids have been really keen to come in here, I didn’t bring any change so they haven’t been able to use it, but a nice little addition. Some arcades are really dark and dingy; this one has a window through to the family pool. Nice addition to the resort. Just over by the family pool there’s another kids’ bit — a small playground. Playgrounds in Spain are interesting because of the heat, but the kids still love it. Great tower and a basket seat. Right next to the family pool, early in the day so it’s not on right now, but they’ve got a really good approach to children’s activities here.
34:08 Back at the infinity pool to give you my stay or stay away rating. First, some pros and cons. Cons: would have been really good to get in the teppanyaki — I really like teppanyaki and restricting à la carte to one in every four nights means if you’re here for a full week you can only get in one, which makes the buffet a little monotonous. It does get windy — it’s on a bit of a headland, and Tenerife does get the wind, but here particularly gets particularly windy. Two double-edged swords: sunbeds aren’t reservable — good and bad, you want to get a sunbed but if it gets moved that’s less than ideal. Lifeguards are super-strict — again double-edged. The ice cream — I really would have liked those premium lollipops included on all-inclusive as they are at so many other resorts, including the Hard Rock in the background. The meats on the buffet weren’t as good as they could have been — enjoyed the buffet for the most part, but the meats weren’t ideal. Wi-Fi by the pools — most of the pools, apart from this one, is actually really poor, if you can get it at all.
35:48 Now some really good stuff. I love the modern, beautiful architecture. The buildings are full of beautiful art, including the bedrooms. Love that it’s clean. The room was great — really liked the room, again modern, love the lighting and artwork. Love that mini-bar inclusion — really good selection of things all included and refreshed. That splash park: really good fun, possibly the best splash park I’ve seen at any Spanish resort. The kids loved it. Some really good staff here. Marcos Gomez in the food and beverage team — incredibly cheeky. A few cheeky chaps. The guy in the mini-truck, the lady in the coffee shop, Mar who is one of the guest relations team — fantastic. The family shows, the entertainment, really high-quality and engaging — they got people involved, the magician got people up on stage including me, the Brazilians got people up. Really good fun and engaging, that’s what builds memories on a family holiday. Parking is free — good to see because it does add up at other resorts. Easy to navigate, being in that straight line — some resorts are really hard to get around. The view from this infinity pool — the reason I came down here for my final thoughts is the amazing view, really nice. The final pro: my son Bertie is in the kids’ club right now and I don’t know if we’re going to be able to get him out to leave this resort. He’s having such a good time. The team there do such a good job with imaginative arts, crafts and games. He absolutely loves it. He’s been in lots of kids’ clubs over the years and this one is the hardest to get him out of. So good.
37:58 Stay or stay away for the H10 Atlantic Sunset. You know where this is going. This is definitely a stay. My wife said, “you know Ben, I could have stayed here for the whole week.” Unfortunately we’re only here for three nights. Really good resort. Certainly put it on your shortlist if not the top of the list for your stay here on Tenerife. This has been The Resort Report. I hope you’ve enjoyed this review and guide.
