H10 Costa Adeje Palace
H10 Costa Adeje Palace is a four-star hotel run by H10 Hotels, a Spanish chain based in Barcelona, standing on the seafront at Playa La Enramada in La Caleta, the quieter western end of Costa Adeje on Tenerife's south coast. It's one U-shaped building of 467 rooms with seven outdoor pools, a buffet, three à la carte restaurants and a flat promenade running from the door to the sandy Playa del Duque in about ten minutes. Families come for the seafront setting, the pool space and a children's club from four.

Is it worth it?
Who this suits, who it doesn't and the facts to skim before the detail.
What you're buying here is the setting. The hotel sits on the seafront in La Caleta, the quiet residential end of Costa Adeje, and location is its standout score on every review platform. It's one building rather than a spread-out resort, the pool areas are well kept with enough loungers that you're not chasing one at seven in the morning, and the flat coastal promenade takes you to a proper sandy beach in ten minutes with a pushchair.
The part to weigh is childcare. Daisy Club starts at four, there's no baby club below that and no babysitting at all, so if you're travelling with a baby or a toddler you have them with you for the whole week. Jungle Park, the children's water park the hotel markets heavily, has a 100cm minimum height across the whole facility, which rules out most under-fives. The beach at the door is pebbles rather than sand. None of that makes it a poor hotel, and plenty of families have a good week here, though it does mean the things a very young child would use come down to the children's pool, the playground and the promenade.
Best for
You want a seafront hotel in a quiet part of Costa Adeje, plenty of pool space and a flat ten-minute walk to sand. Your children are four or over.
Maybe not for
You want sand at the door, a club that takes a child under four or a babysitter so you can have a dinner out.
Best ages
From four, when Daisy Club starts. Under-fours must be with an adult, and Jungle Park's height rule keeps most under-fives out.
What stands out
The seafront setting at La Caleta, the quietest end of Costa Adeje, and pool areas guests say you don't have to fight for a lounger at.

Quick facts for families
The resort and its setting
Where the hotel sits, how the building is arranged and what that means for a family day.
The hotel stands directly on the seafront at Playa La Enramada, in La Caleta, on Tenerife's south coast. La Caleta is the western end of the Costa Adeje resort area and the quieter, more residential part of it, which is the thing guests praise most often and set against the busier Playa de las Américas strip further along. For the island as a whole, its areas and when to go, our Tenerife guide covers the wider picture.
The building is U-shaped and built perpendicular to the beach. That layout is worth knowing before you pick a room: many rooms get a partial ocean view and relatively few get a full sea view, so a sea view here often means a side one. Inside, the lobby is double-height with large windows and a tiled staircase up to a mezzanine holding reception, the lobby bar and the Privilege lounge. The grounds around the building are landscaped with palms, cacti, bougainvillea and lawns.
There are 467 rooms in the one main block, all reached by lift, with complimentary Wi-Fi throughout and a dedicated Internet Corner. Everything sits on the single seafront site, with no satellite blocks or villas, so with a pushchair you're dealing with one building and its grounds rather than a walk between accommodation and facilities. That is a real advantage over the spread-out resorts along this coast.
The hotel's newest areas are its freshest: La Serata, the Italian restaurant, the Privilege Rooftop rooms and the seventh-floor Sky Bar. Guests describe some standard-room corridors and communal carpets as tired and due a refresh, a theme that runs both before and after those additions, so the work has been targeted rather than hotel-wide. It's a four-star that reads as a four-star, rather than a five-star at a four-star price.
Every restaurant and bar
Every venue and what it serves, how you get into the à la carte rooms and what each board basis pays for.
El Jable is the main buffet and the venue you'll eat at most, whichever board you're on: it's where bed and breakfast, half board and all-inclusive guests are fed. It's an international buffet with three show-cooking stations, one hot and two cold, a boulangerie corner, themed corners and a terrace. There's a dress code in the winter season, long trousers for men and smart casual for women, which is worth packing for if you're travelling at half-term. Breakfast here draws more praise than dinner does.
La Tosca is the à la carte fine-dining room, with two terraces used for breakfast and dinner outdoors. The dress code is smart casual. Privilege guests have breakfast and dinner here included; everyone else needs a table through the swap below. Booking is required either way.
Sakura Teppanyaki is the Asian restaurant, built around teppanyaki grill tables where the food is cooked at the table in front of you. Children who like watching things happen tend to get more out of dinner here than at a buffet. Dinner is included for Privilege guests, and booking is required.
La Serata is the Italian, à la carte, with freshly baked pizza and artisanal pasta. It's the useful one on a night when a fussy toddler won't touch the buffet's theme. Dinner is included for Privilege guests.
At the buffet, the children's side of things is a themed-dinner rotation and a wide range of options rather than a separate arrangement. H10 doesn't confirm high chairs or a standalone children's menu anywhere official for this hotel, though both are close to standard at a resort of this size and format, so ask at El Jable if either matters to you. One recurring complaint is worth flagging: allergy and dietary labelling. A coeliac guest reported being walked round the buffet by the head chef at each service rather than relying on labelled dishes, which worked but is a workaround rather than a system. If you're managing an allergy, speak to the restaurant on arrival rather than assuming the labels will carry you.
The five bars
Pool Side serves cocktails and snacks by the pool. Beach Club is the one the name misleads on: it isn't on the public beach at all, it sits beside one of the ground-level infinity pools on the seafront, with a sand-covered lounge area, Balinese beds and sea views. That lounging area is one of the Privilege perks rather than open to every guest, though the bar itself serves everyone. Piano Bar Adeje is the lobby cocktail bar, with live music in the evening. Discoteca Bar Teide, also called the Teide celebration room, is the evening entertainment room for shows, live music and disco, for adults and children alike, and it's where the mini disco runs. Sky Bar is on the seventh floor, with panoramic views over the Atlantic, and it's part of the Privilege Rooftop offering rather than open to everyone.
How to get into the à la carte restaurants
On an all-inclusive stay of a full week, you can exchange two buffet dinners for two à la carte dinners across La Tosca, Sakura and La Serata. That's two dinners, not two per restaurant, and it's subject to availability, so book them early in the week. Privilege guests skip the swap: dinner at all three is included, though a table still needs reserving.
What each board basis covers
| Board | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Bed and breakfast | Breakfast at El Jable, the buffet. |
| Half board | Breakfast and dinner at El Jable. Drinks aren't included. |
| All inclusive | Meals, local and international brand drinks, cocktails and snacks. A complimentary minibar on arrival, not restocked free. On a full week, two buffet dinners can be swapped for two à la carte dinners. Small discounts at the spa, the hairdresser and the boutique. |
Rooms and suites
Every category with its official size, which ones suit a family, what the Privilege tier adds, then the pools and the sand.
| Room or suite | Size | Terrace | Beds | Cot, and what else it adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Double Room | 34m² | 7m² balcony, garden view | Double 1.80 x 2.00m or twin 1.20 x 2.00m | Cot or extra bed on request. The entry category. |
| Double Room Lateral Sea View | 34m² | Balcony, side sea view | As the Double Room | Cot or extra bed on request. The bathroom has a bidet and a bathtub. |
| Superior Room | 34m² | 7m² balcony, side sea, pool or garden view | As the Double Room | Cot or extra bed on request. Free daily Nespresso or kettle refill, a bathrobe, welcome cava, turndown and late check-out. |
| Family Room | 40m² | 7m² terrace, sea, pool or garden view | King 2.00 x 2.00m plus sofa bed 0.80 x 1.80m | Cot or extra bed on request. Accommodates up to 3 adults, or 2 adults and 2 children. Daisy welcome kit and Daisy children's bathroom amenities. |
| Junior Suite | 50 to 67m² | 12 to 24m² terrace, sea, pool or garden view | King plus sofa bed, with an adjoining living area | Cot or extra bed on request. Pillow menu, 43-inch TV, bath with scales. |
| Honeymoon Junior Suite | 67m² | 24m² terrace, sea view | Four-poster king | No cot offered. Chromotherapy bath. Sold only through h10hotels.com. |
| Privilege Room | 34m² | 7m² balcony, side sea, pool or garden view | Double or twin | Cot or extra bed on request. Privilege services, plus a complimentary safe, free daily Nespresso or kettle refill and free ironing. |
| Privilege Junior Suite | 50 to 67m² | Terrace, sea view | King plus sofa bed | Cot or extra bed on request. A Junior Suite with Privilege services. |
| Privilege Rooftop Room | 34m² | Terrace, side sea view | Double or twin | No cot offered. Top floor, with direct access to the Sky Bar and the rooftop infinity pool. |
The Family Room at 40m² is the standard family choice, and the only category with anything specifically for children as standard: a Daisy welcome kit and Daisy children's bathroom amenities in the bathroom. H10's own wording is that it accommodates up to three adults, or two adults and two children. If you book a Double Room or a Superior Room instead, the Daisy extras don't come with it.
The Junior Suite at 50 to 67m² is the step up worth paying for if you have a baby who goes down early, because it has an adjoining living area rather than a sofa bed at the end of your own bed. It doesn't come with the Daisy touches, so the trade is a separate space against the child-specific bits.
Two categories are out with a baby, whatever else appeals about them. The Honeymoon Junior Suite and the Privilege Rooftop Room don't offer a cot at all, so if you need one they're not on your list.
Everywhere else the cot is free on request, and it's a standard travel-cot size at 58 x 117cm. Ask for it when you book rather than on the day, since it depends on the room you're allocated. One limit to plan around: a room takes a cot or an extra bed on request, not both alongside the beds that are already in it. If you're three adults and a baby, check the maximum occupancy for the exact room before you commit.
What Privilege gets you
Privilege is H10's upgraded tier, and it isn't only a room. It runs through the dining, the pools, the spa and the parking, which is why it's worth understanding in one go rather than meeting it nine times. Booking a Privilege Room, Privilege Junior Suite or Privilege Rooftop Room adds the Privilege lounge on the mezzanine, breakfast and dinner at La Tosca and dinner at Sakura and La Serata, one of the two ground-level infinity pools kept for Privilege guests, the rooftop infinity pool and the Sky Bar on the seventh floor, free parking subject to availability, a free hour in the sauna each stay, 25% off spa treatments on spends over €50, plus a complimentary safe, free ironing and a free daily Nespresso or kettle refill in the room.
With young children, the honest read is that most of that is adult-facing. Both infinity pools it opens up carry age limits, at twelve for the ground-level one and eighteen for the rooftop, and the sauna and the treatments are eighteen and over. What a family gets out of it is the à la carte dinners without competing for the weekly swap, free parking, and the small in-room extras the standard categories charge for. Whether that's worth the step up depends on how many nights you'd otherwise eat at the buffet.
Pools and water features
There are seven outdoor pools and an indoor one, and three of the seven have age limits, so the number your family can actually use is four rather than seven.
The four you can use are the main freshwater pool, a second freshwater pool that's heated in winter, an "ecological" saltwater pool and a dedicated children's pool, also heated in winter. That children's pool is the water your little ones will spend their week in.
The other three are the two ground-level infinity pools, adults-only from twelve, filled with salt water drawn from 80m below the sea surface, one of the two kept for Privilege guests; and the rooftop infinity pool, 15m up on the seventh floor beside the Sky Bar, for Privilege guests only and adults-only from eighteen. The ages are stated restrictions rather than guidance, so a supervised nine-year-old still can't use them.
Inside the Despacio Beauty Centre there's an indoor pool, heated in winter, under a glass dome, with an adults-only jacuzzi in the same room. It's open to all guests whatever their age, though it's a spa pool in a spa setting rather than somewhere children will want to play. The rest of that wing has its own limits: the jacuzzi, sauna and Turkish bath are eighteen and over, and the gym is fifteen and over.
There's no separate splash pad here. The children's pool and Jungle Park are the water features for children, and as at any resort pool you're watching your own children in the water.
The water park out frontJungle Park, and the height rule that shuts most young children out
Jungle Park is the hotel's own children's water park, on the seafront next to the building, with slides, a games area and water jets. It's a headline feature in H10's own marketing, and for a lot of families reading this page it won't apply at all.
The reason is one height band that covers the whole facility: a minimum of 100cm and a maximum of 140cm, applying to the slides, the games area and the water jets together rather than to the slides alone. H10's own fact sheet describes it as being for children from five to ten.
100cm is roughly the height of an average four-year-old, so most under-fives and effectively all under-fours can't use any of it. If your child is between 100cm and 140cm, this is the standout thing at the hotel and a real reason to pick it. If they're smaller, the children's pool is where they'll play and Jungle Park is something to look at through the fence.
The beach outside, and the sandy one along the promenade
Playa La Enramada is immediately outside the hotel, at 0m. It's 325m long by 18m wide, made of pebbles, shingle and sand crushed from its own pebbles, which gives it a coarse dark texture rather than fine golden sand. It's classed semi-urban and has disabled access, and a wooden boardwalk crosses part of the pebbles. The only amenity the island's tourist board lists for it is waste bins, so don't expect showers, toilets or a lifeguard.
What that adds up to is a beach for a look and a paddle at the shoreline rather than a base for sandcastles or a shallow swim with a baby. The waves are usually gentle, though bodyboarders come for the swell the volcanic rock floor produces, which tells you it isn't a millpond either.
Playa del Duque is the sandy alternative, 500m away and about a ten-minute walk along the promenade. It's 390m by 60m of pale sand, classed urban, with toilets, showers, changing rooms, a municipal cleaning service, bars and restaurants, plus loungers and parasols to hire, and it holds Blue Flag status for the 2026 season. This is the one to use with a baby or toddler, and since the walk is flat the whole way it's a stroll rather than an expedition. Playa Fañabé is a further 500m on, 1km from the hotel, if you want a change of scene without a taxi.
Babies and toddlers
The club and its ages, what's in the room, where to buy supplies and where the nearest hospital is.
Daisy Club is the children's club, for ages four to twelve, run by the hotel's own entertainment staff. It's a Miniclub and a playground, with a programme that changes through the season: water games, painting, arts and crafts, board games and a Minidisco with the Daisy mascot. Where reviewers mention it, they mention it warmly. Session times and what it costs aren't set out in advance, so ask at check-in.
Below four there's nothing, and it's the point to be clearest about. There's no baby club for under-fours here, and no babysitting service of any kind. H10's own position is that children under four must be accompanied by an adult. Plan the week on the basis that a child under four is with you throughout.
Every room has a minibar, complimentary on arrival under all-inclusive and not restocked free, or available on request with a charge on the other boards. Whichever board you're on, it's somewhere to keep milk or baby food cold. High chairs, sterilisers and baby food aren't confirmed anywhere official for this hotel either, so if any of them are essential, check with H10 directly before you travel rather than assume they're provided.
For supplies, there's a small complex of shops directly across from the hotel with a supermarket, a pharmacy, a café and a restaurant, which covers nappies, formula and sun cream without a trip. The larger Plaza del Duque shopping centre is a five-minute drive or roughly a twenty-minute walk along the seafront.
If someone gets ill, two private hospitals with 24-hour emergency departments sit about ten minutes' drive from La Caleta, Hospital Quirónsalud Costa Adeje and Hospiten Sur, and both treat adults and children. In an emergency, 112 is the number across Spain and the EU, the equivalent of 999.
On siteThings to do
The daytime programme is run by the Blue Team and it's aimed at adults and older children rather than little ones: aquagym, aquabike, stretching, table tennis, bingo, board games, giant chess, aerobics, meditation, dance classes, Spanish classes, plus cooking and cocktail workshops. Evenings are themed nights, shows and live music, on an outdoor stage in summer or in the Teide celebration room, which is also where the mini disco runs. Everything is booked and scheduled through the hotel's app, subject to availability, so download it before you travel.
The gym is free for guests aged fifteen and over, with weights and cardio equipment, inside the Despacio wing. The Despacio Beauty Centre does massage, facial and body treatments for guests eighteen and over, booked ahead and charged separately, with a 10% discount for all-inclusive guests and 25% for Privilege guests on treatment spends over €50. There's a hair and beauty salon in the same wing.
Golf Costa Adeje is about a mile (2 km) away, and the hotel arranges packages, green fees and a paid personalised transfer to the course. Tenerife Top Training, an elite sports centre, is about the same distance out. Neither is an on-site facility, so both are a morning out rather than something you wander to.
Beyond La CaletaThe area and days out
Costa Adeje is one of Tenerife's best-established resort areas, with beaches, a marina, shopping and easy reach of the island's biggest attractions. La Caleta, at the hotel's end, is the quieter and more residential part, with a handful of restaurants along the seafront. Playa de las Américas, the livelier strip, is about 4 miles (7 km) away, and Santa Cruz, the island capital, about 52 miles (84 km).
Aqualand Costa Adeje is a separate water park from the hotel's own Jungle Park, with around 18 attractions, and its slides and features suit younger children better than Siam Park's do. It also runs a dolphin show, which is worth knowing about in advance if that isn't for your family. Siam Park, about 4 miles (7 km) away and 10 to 15 minutes' drive, is the island's largest water park and better suited to older children given its scale: a 1,150m beach, thrill rides and a wave pool with a 3m wave.
Whale and dolphin watching boat trips leave from Costa Adeje itself or from Los Cristianos Port, about 6 miles (10 km) away. Pilot whales and dolphins are seen regularly in the waters off the south-west coast, so it's one of the more reliable wildlife trips you can do with children.
Further out, the Los Gigantes cliffs are about 16 miles (25 km) up the coast. Mount Teide National Park is about 27 miles (43 km) and roughly an hour and a quarter by mountain road, cooler and a completely different day, though a long one with a very young child and with altitude and a temperature swing to plan around. Loro Parque, the animal park at Puerto de la Cruz, is about 41 miles (66 km) away on the north coast, which is a long drive each way with a baby or toddler in the back.
Loves and gripes
What families consistently praise and what they consistently flag, where it sits against its neighbours, the journey in, getting about with a pushchair and the weather by month.
As of July 2026, TripAdvisor has it at around 4 out of 5 from roughly 5,600 reviews, ranked about 142nd of 381 Tenerife hotels. Booking.com sits around 8 out of 10 from roughly 1,400 to 1,500 verified reviews, and Google around 4.2 to 4.4 across several thousand. The Booking.com pattern is consistent and it tells you most of the story: location is the standout at around 8.7 to 8.8, and value for money the weakest at around 7.4 to 7.5. Scores move, so treat that as a rough steer rather than a live figure.
What families love
- The location and the seafront setting, the standout category on every platform, with La Caleta's quieter character a recurring plus.
- Staff friendliness, with individual staff members named and thanked in reviews.
- The pool areas, well kept, with enough sunloungers that chasing one isn't a daily battle.
- The kids' club and children's entertainment where reviewers mention it, with candy floss and car racing among the things singled out.
- Breakfast at El Jable, praised more consistently than the evening buffet.
- Cleanliness generally, though not without exceptions.
Common gripes
- Room and corridor condition in the standard categories: worn carpets and tired décor, a theme that runs either side of the newer additions.
- Value for money, the lowest Booking.com subscore, driven by small extra charges that guests feel chip away at the headline price.
- Evening buffet quality and repetition, sitting alongside the more positive breakfast reviews.
- Allergy and dietary labelling at the buffet.
- Occasional construction and works disruption, and noise complaints in some reviews.
- Bar and restaurant service, which is a mixed picture rather than a one-sided complaint.
How it compares
On Tenerife's south coast this sits in the mid-to-upper four-star bracket: above the simpler Costa Adeje hotels, and below the five-star cluster strung along Playa del Duque and Playa Fañabé, which is GF Gran Costa Adeje, the Ritz-Carlton and Bahía del Duque.
GF Gran Costa Adeje is the higher-tier neighbour most worth weighing against it. Its Booking.com subscores run noticeably higher across the board, including value for money, which is this hotel's weak point, and it sits closer to Playa del Duque itself rather than to the pebbles of La Enramada. It's a different price tier, though, and it closed and reopened in 2025 after a major renovation, so its current reviews mix pre- and post-renovation stays. One professional reviewer who has assessed several H10 hotels on the island rated this one as less tasteful than its sister H10 Gran Tinerfe, which is one person's judgement rather than a consensus, though it's a fair marker of where it sits inside H10's own local line-up.
One thing worth checking before you book anything: there are several similarly named hotels here. H10 runs the Conquistador, Las Palmeras and Atlantic Sunset nearby, GF Gran Costa Adeje is a different company entirely, and older reviews sometimes shorten this one to "H10 Adeje Palace" or "H10 Costa Adeje".
From Tenerife SouthGetting there and getting around
Tenerife South (TFS) is the airport, about 14 miles (22 km) away and approximately 20 minutes by taxi, hire car or bus. Tenerife North is about 53 miles (85 km), roughly an hour up the TF-1 motorway, and it isn't the airport for this hotel.
H10 runs its own airport transfer, and a limousine service alongside it. Both are charged and both need reserving ahead, so it's something to arrange when you book rather than expect to be laid on. If you're coming on a package, the tour-operator coach transfer takes roughly 30 to 60 minutes depending where you fall in the drop-off sequence, which is a real spread with a tired child. The TITSA line 40 bus runs from the airport to Estación Costa Adeje roughly every half hour and takes around 27 to 38 minutes, though it terminates at the bus station rather than the hotel, so you'd still need a taxi or a further walk into La Caleta.
Separately from all that, the hotel runs a free daily shuttle bus, described in its own wording as going to the city centre. Ask at reception where it drops and when it runs.
There's private indoor and outdoor parking on site and electric vehicle charging points, both charged, and free for Privilege guests subject to availability.
One building, flat groundGetting around with a pushchair, and access
This is a straightforward hotel to push a buggy around, and that's mostly down to the shape of it. Every room is in the one block and reached by lift, and there are ramps and lifts in all the common areas. Adapted rooms are available on request, and one of the pools has a hydraulic chair lift for getting in and out of the water.
Outside, the coastal promenade has wide flat paths and is pram and wheelchair accessible, running from the hotel to La Caleta, on to Playa del Duque and towards Playa de las Américas. That's what makes the ten-minute walk to sand something you'd do daily rather than plan.
The beach at the door is more mixed. Playa La Enramada is listed with disabled access despite its pebble-and-sand surface, and a wooden boardwalk crosses part of it. Beyond the boardwalk, the pebbles are harder going with a pushchair than firm sand would be, so the boardwalk is as far as a buggy comfortably goes.
Month by monthWeather and when to go
The hotel is on Tenerife's south coast, in the rain shadow of Mount Teide, which is drier and sunnier than the green north of the island. It's open all year, and the freshwater pool, the children's pool and the indoor Despacio pool are all heated in winter. Tenerife South averages about 2,870 hours of sun a year, from around 6.5 hours a day in January to over 9 in summer, so shade matters in the warmer months whatever the thermometer says.
| Month | Daytime high | Overnight low | Rain | Wet days | Sea temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 22° | 15° | 18 mm | 2 | 20° |
| February | 22.5° | 15° | 19 mm | 2 | 20° |
| March | 23° | 15.5° | 8 mm | 1 | 20° |
| April | 23.5° | 16° | 9 mm | 1 | 20° |
| May | 24.5° | 17.5° | 1 mm | 0 | 21° |
| June | 26° | 19° | 0 mm | 0 | 22° |
| July | 28° | 20.5° | 0 mm | 0 | 22° |
| August | 29° | 21.5° | 2 mm | 0 | 23° |
| September | 28° | 21° | 7 mm | 1 | 24° |
| October | 27.5° | 20° | 12 mm | 2 | 24° |
| November | 25° | 18.5° | 14 mm | 2 | 23° |
| December | 23.5° | 16.5° | 29 mm | 3 | 22° |
Typical monthly averages from weather-station records. Sea temperature is the open-water figure, so a sheltered bay can feel a degree or two warmer. The hotel is open all year.
Practical and booking notes
Check-in is from 3pm, with luggage storage if you arrive earlier, and check-out is by midday. Late check-out is on request, subject to availability, and it may carry a charge. Pets aren't allowed, other than assistance and guide dogs.
The extras to budget for are the ones behind the value-for-money score: the in-room safe, restocking the minibar beyond the arrival stock, a Nespresso machine or kettle on the standard categories, a bathrobe and slippers on the standard categories, spa treatments and access to the sauna and Turkish bath, plus any airport or golf transfer booked through the hotel. Individually they're small. Added up over a week they're the difference between the headline price and what you actually pay, so it's worth totting them up before you compare this against another hotel.
Questions
The things families ask most, the official pages worth a bookmark and when this guide was last refreshed.
Can we get an evening to ourselves?
Not through the hotel. There's no babysitting service here at any age, and no baby club to leave a younger child at either. If a dinner without the children is part of what you want from the week, that's a reason to compare hotels with a crèche or a sitter service before you settle on this one.
Our child has just turned four. Can they use everything?
Daisy Club, yes, since four is where it starts. Jungle Park, probably not: the height minimum is one most four-year-olds haven't reached yet, so treat it as something they might grow into rather than a reason to book this hotel over another.
What should we sort out with H10 before we travel?
The cot, since it comes on request rather than automatically and two categories don't offer one at all. Two adjoining rooms as well, if that's what you need, because it isn't something the hotel lists and it's better asked than assumed. Daisy Club session times and the cost you can leave until check-in.
Is Privilege worth it for a family?
It comes down to how many evenings you'd otherwise pay to eat well. Privilege includes dinner at La Tosca, Sakura and La Serata, so if you'd eat there most nights it can cover its own cost, and it throws in free parking. The pools, sauna and treatments it opens up all carry age limits, so with young children those parts of it aren't the draw.
Can our toddler play on the beach outside the hotel?
Not really for sandcastles. The beach at the door is pebble and coarse grit, fine for a paddle at the water's edge but not for digging or a shallow toddler swim. Proper sand is a flat ten-minute push along the promenade to Playa del Duque, which is the one to build the beach days around.
How should we get from the airport?
A taxi is the simplest at approximately 20 minutes. H10's own transfer has to be reserved and paid for ahead of time, so it isn't something to sort out on arrival. The line 40 bus is cheapest, though it stops at Costa Adeje bus station rather than the hotel, which leaves you a taxi anyway with bags and a pushchair.
What does the free shuttle bus actually do for us?
The free part is a daily run into the city centre, and the thing to be clear on is that it's not your airport transfer, which people mix up. The transfer is a separate H10 service you reserve and pay for. For the shuttle's current route and times, check at reception on arrival.
We're on all-inclusive. Do we still need to book the à la carte restaurants?
Yes. All-inclusive covers the meal, but the à la carte rooms still need a table booked ahead, and the weekly swap covers only two dinners, so the popular slots go early. Reserve them at the start of the stay rather than hoping for a table later in the week.
