Celebrated for its family-friendly feel and exotic looking grounds with a staggering six swimming pools keeping you cool during the day – you’ll never run out of options when it comes to relaxing at Best Jacaranda Hotel. Location-wise, it has bagged a prime spot on Tenerife’s south coast in the upmarket resort of Costa Adeje where golf courses, shopping centres and Blue Flag beaches are at your disposal.

If you’re not one for sunbathing the hotel’s entertainment is full with organised games and water-based activities designed to keep your fitness momentum going. The All Inclusive options makes sure guests don’t go hungry with a buffet covering all your essential meals.

Room sleeping up to four

Rooms have a fairly basic design with terracotta tiled floors traditional of the Canary Islands alongside white walls and dark wood furnishings. Guests can choose from twins featuring pool views, spacious doubles and family options equipped with sofa beds. 

The air conditioning is a great addition on those stifling days as is the tea and coffee making facilities when you need that morning pick-me-up. What’s more, you can benefit from satellite TV, a safe and mini bar which are also included as standard.

Kids meals and vegetarian options

This hotel offers a range of dining options – Bed and Breakfast, Half Board, Full Board and All Inclusive. That said, guests can choose their board type based on whether they like the flexibility of heading to the resort’s nearest restaurants or the convenience of eating onsite.

Buffet restaurant: Big on choice, this buffet restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. With hot and cold stations alongside show-cooking, this help-your-self option is filled with mouth-watering dishes. You don’t have to worry about repetition either, with themed evenings offering plenty of variety. Mexican, Asian, local and English dinners are just some of your options.

Snack bar: Open from 10.30am to 6.30pm, this day-time spot takes care of those pre-dinner cravings. Pizzas, burgers, salads and chips are all served here, but please note hot snacks are only available between 12.30pm and 4.30pm.

Coco Loco Bar: Taking care of your drinks, this poolside bar is open from 11am until 6pm. Here, you can order local wine, beer and spirits alongside non-alcoholic beverages – just what you need to help you cool down under that hot Canary Island sun.

Hall Bar: Found next to the reception and open from 10am to midnight, head here for live music with singers entertaining guests every night. Known as the piano bar, it’s a great place to socialise with its mellow tones playing in the background.

Salon Jacaranda: If you’ve come on holiday to strut your stuff on the dancefloor, then this is the place to do it from 8pm to 11pm. Find everything from mini discos, to DJ sets and professional shows. 

Stand-out facilities

There’s no shortage of sunbathing spots at this 4 star property, with six in total. There are four main areas that come with a helping of loungers and hammocks with parasols providing some much-needed shade during the midday heat. Not to mention, it’s beautifully designed with tall palms, a stunning rock waterfall feature and perfectly placed wooden bridges.

There’s also a wide range of activities on hand when you’re feeling energetic. Enjoy a fat-burning aerobics session, improve those hand-eye coordination skills with a game of volleyball, or opt for something gentle like pool or table tennis. Smaller guests are well looked after here with age-appropriate kids’ clubs – four to 12-year-olds can enjoy arts and crafts alongside water-based games, while 10 to 16-year-olds take advantage of their own space equipped with games consoles and huge TVs. There’s also a playground for littles ones seeking some outdoor fun.

A winning location

This hotel has a location worth mentioning, families will love the fact they are walking distance to one of the most sought-after sand spots in Tenerife. Stretching for 500 metres with imported sands and a Blue Flag to its name, Playa de Fañabé makes for premium beach days.

That’s not all you can look forward to, you’re also close to upmarket shopping complexes as well as a stream of bars and restaurants. But the biggest highlight has to be the short 10-minute driving distance to Siam Park, which was named the best waterpark in the world by TripAdvisor. Housing a never-ending lazy river, 85-foot drop slide and a huge wave pool accompanied by a man-made beach – it’s a truly unforgettable experience.
