Deluxe family resort on Tenerife's west coast
The Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel has a plum spot in sleepy Playa Paraíso, overlooking a pebble and sandy bay-beach and the Atlantic Ocean. A lift will whisk you down to the sand in seconds. And, when you fancy a change of scene there’s a free shuttle bus that runs to nearby Playa Fañabé, a silky stretch in upmarket Costa Adeje.
Outdoors, botanical gardens give way to a cluster of lagoon-like pools. Two are infinity-style, with stellar views of the sea and the isle of La Gomera, and they’re edged by luxury daybeds. Little ones have their very own splash park complete with slides and fountains, plus an extra pool all to the themselves.
There’s a long list of facilities here to enjoy as a family, from a putting green and tennis courts to a fitness centre and a spa with a Finnish sauna, a Turkish bath and an ice cave. The hotel lays on daytime and evening entertainment, too, spanning sports and quizzes, shows and live music performances, as well as a mini club for little ones.
Variety is the buzzword at mealtimes. There’s a buffet with a dedicated children’s section and show cooking stations, plus two themed restaurants dishing up Italian and Spanish cuisine. You’ve got a poolside bar-restaurant serving drinks, snacks and light meals, and three other bars scattered throughout the hotel, whether you’re in the mood for chilled-out cocktails or a dance by the DJ booth, there’ll be something to suit.
