GRAN HOTEL BAHIA DEL DUQUE

Helpful and charming staff, and an impressive children's club make life very stress-free and with everything run to a very high standard - it's remarkably easy to overlook the enormity of it all. For families we highly recommend Las Villas - a collection of contemporary and elegant, private villas, each with private pool, 24hr butler service, afternoon tea and evening canapés. There are eight restaurants, offering a diverse choice of international, Italian, Asian and traditional Canarian cuisine, and a handful of atmospheric bars in which to enjoy an aperitif. There truly is something for everyone here; from a stroll around the Botanical garden to an exceptional spa treatment or the thrill of watersports on the beach.
