Hotel Vincci Selección La Plantación del Sur in Adeje

First of all, incredibly clean, spacious, and most importantly, not crowded. They actually have a maximum capacity, which I love, because being packed into a busy spa is definitely not my hobby hehe
I really enjoyed the contrast circuit with different saunas and the hot–cold showers. The outdoor area is also amazing 🤩 a beautiful pool with great views.
But what truly defines any place , whether it’s a restaurant, venue, or spa , is the service. And here, it was exceptional. At reception we were welcomed by a lovely girl, Ximena 😍. She explained everything about the spa, walked us through each area, and showed how everything works. Her calm voice and warm energy honestly made us want to stay longer just to listen to her lol. Amazing customer service!

Firstly, I would say this hotel is on the lower end of 5 star and isn't on the same level as some of the other nearby luxury hotels. However, it is priced considerably cheaper so I would consider it more of a great 4 star. It is not fair to compare it to other 5 stars in the area that are charging 500+ a night.

Pros
- Rooms are excellent. Well sized, powerful showers with multiple jets, amazing bath. Beds are enormous and very comfortable. Good sized balcony.
- Breakfast is the best hotel breakfast I've had. So many options and it is all high quality.
- Pool area is relaxing. Loads of different pools and plenty of sunbeds. Kids are in the hotel but you wouldn't notice them as it is very quiet. If you are looking for a more buzzing hotel I would look elsewhere but if you want a peaceful one then this is great.
- Hotel is very quiet overall. No noisy guests or sounds from bars like other hotels in the more party areas.
- Cocktails were great and were reasonably priced.

Cons
- Spa is an added cost and it is expensive. 40 euro per person to use the thermal suite for 90 mins.
- Gym looked good in the photos but I was disappointed when I saw it in person. Just a few basic machines and dumbbells that only go up to 22kg. I do not get why so many hotel gyms do not have the basics like a squat rack and pull up bar.
- We only had the dinner buffet once but it didn't impress us as much as the breakfast. We went on BBQ night and the older female chef on the grill was very slow and looked as if she didn't know what she was doing.
- I hate this new trend in hotels of removing basic items like an iron and ironing board. Also no toilet brushes either which I have also noticed in other hotels which is strange and can make people very uncomfortable.
- There wasn't much going on in the hotel in terms of entertainment or fun. Hotel was always so quiet at night and the bar was always empty.
- Location of hotel is on top of a very steep hill that leads down to the beach. If you have mobility issues you will struggle to get down and up from Duque beach. Hotel does provide a shuttle service however.

All in all a great stay and my criticisms are minor ones. I would definitely come back if I got it for a similar price to what I paid this time.

Our stay at Vincci Selección La Plantación del Sur was mixed and, unfortunately, fell short of what we would expect from a five-star hotel.

On arrival, there was no one available to man the door or assist with luggage, so we had to carry our bags ourselves. During the stay, housekeeping missed some basic details — for two days in a row, an empty body wash bottle was not replaced, and we had to call reception to resolve it.

Breakfast was particularly disappointing. The selection was very limited for a hotel of this category, with basic items missing (such as granola), and the hot food was often lukewarm. There was no variation throughout the week, with the same options repeated daily, and replenishment of items was slow.

We also tried dinner one evening. At €35 per person, the buffet felt expensive for what was offered. Again, the food was lukewarm and the selection was minimal.

That said, the hotel itself is immaculately clean. Public areas, rooms, pools, and grounds were all very well maintained, and the cleanliness throughout the property was consistently high, which we appreciated.

The location is also excellent. Set in a quiet and upmarket area, the hotel feels peaceful and relaxed, yet it is still within easy reach of nearby beaches, shops, and restaurants. It’s well positioned for exploring Costa Adeje while avoiding the noise and crowds.

The staff were generally friendly, and one standout was Oliver. He was consistently polite, warm, and welcoming, always with a spring in his step. He took the time to interact with our 2.5-year-old toddler and even gave him a ride in the golf buggy, which was a lovely touch and very much appreciated.

Overall, we agree with other reviews suggesting this hotel is closer to a four-star experience. It has bags of potential to be a true five-star property, but several service and quality issues currently let it down compared to other five-star hotels we have stayed in.

Luxurious hotel in a perfect location. The staff is very kind and helpful. The buffet is amazing, specially the breakfast. There are also good restaurants nearby and many shops. We enjoyed the room “in the Villa”. The balcony and the terrasse are perfect for watching the sunset. It is definitely the place to stay in Costa Adeje.

This hotel is a wonderful discovery in Tenerife after three times in this awesome Island.
It's perfect in the fall.
The facilities are excellent, the gym is well-equipped, and the morning yoga/stretching classes with Monica, Lily, and Francesca are perfect to wake up, always cheerful and joking.

The entire staff is fantastic, always smiling, paying attention, and will put you in a great mood (Helllo Sara and Rikki 😁🙏)

The food is delicious and varied, with no complaints about its quality or quantity.

I will come back sure in this Hotel

Fantastic stay at Vincci Seleccion for our Honeymoon.

Everything was five star from the moment we arrived to check out time, our room was great, hot tub is brilliant, really comfortable bed, had a leak from our Air Conditioning on our third day that was promptly repaired by the staff.

We really enjoyed the Italian restaurant on numerous occasions, really tasty food, would recommend it over the buffet. Some entertainment at the evening bar for longer hours would be a nice touch as often sitting quietly enjoying cocktails, live music past dinner time would be great. Davide at the evening bar is a credit to the hotel & makes really good cocktails! Enjoyed the pool bar for lunch, nice cocktails & great menu to enjoy.

We visited the spa on one occasion and paid for the full circuit, which was really enjoyable, private pool, followed by the plunge pool and the outdoor spa pool which is lovely and quiet, staff were excellent.

Really enjoyed our two weeks and didn't want to leave! Will hopefully be back in the future!

What a fabulous experience. Room upgraded on arrival so we had a villa with its own private terrace and whirlpool with an excellent view across the Adeje bay. Vincci hotels are high quality stays with exceptional standards. We booked via Jet2 Indulgent Escapes and can very much recommend this to all.

There’s so much I could say about this hotel. From the moment you arrive, everything feels welcoming and well thought-out. The bedrooms are incredibly spacious, modern, and spotlessly clean, it’s clear that a lot of care goes into keeping the place in top condition.

The staff are honestly one of the best parts of the experience. They’re so attentive, friendly, and approachable always happy to help with anything you need, and they really make you feel at home.

The location is ideal. Tucked away just enough to offer peace and quiet, but still close to everything you might want to see or do. Plus, the views are absolutely stunning.

Overall, both of our stays here have been nothing short of amazing. We’ve made some lovely memories and will definitely keep coming back. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

And to top it all off, they gave us a beautiful little gift to take home, such a thoughtful gesture that truly shows how much they care about their guests.

We had a wonderful time at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and always helpful. The villa we stayed in was absolutely stunning. The buffet was exquisite, but above all, the dedication of the staff to ensuring our comfort made the experience truly special.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Luz at the reception, as well as Massy, Toni, Riki, Cristina, Manuel, Alexandra, Moesis, John Kennedy, Juan, Laura, and Sara. Unfortunately, we couldn’t remember all the names, but our gratitude extends to everyone on their team.

While all the staff were incredibly polite and professional, the individuals mentioned above truly stood out with their exceptional dedication and service.

Just as the ocean holds precious pearls, their hotel’s greatest treasures are their incredible staff. Thank you for the unforgettable time—we will certainly be back!**

This week has been absolutely spectacular during our stay at Vincci La Plantación — truly beyond expectations!
Everything was perfect — whatever you could think of, it was already there, ready and waiting.
The food was amazing — every night offered something different and delicious, with great variety and quality.
A huge shout-out to the hardworking and kind staff, always available and incredibly polite at every moment.
Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be coming back!
With love
