The choice for two adults who want a week that gets everything mostly right. Check availability early for winter. Adults-only, contemporary and calmer than its Costa Adeje address suggests, with heated saltwater pools instead of a beach and food good enough to stay in for. La Caleta's fish restaurants are a walk away, which stops it feeling sealed off.
It has a rooftop pool. A public beach is within walking distance.
The escape at the end of the island, best for a few quiet nights with a hire car. Check availability for a sea-facing room. The end of the road: adults-only, clifftop and silent, with Teno and Garachico on the doorstep and not much else. Most evenings are spent at the hotel, a car is essential and the price reflects the distance from the south.
It has an outdoor pool. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.
