Bahia Principe Tenerife?

Question

I've been going to The Bahia Principe Tenerife for the last few years and this year I'm having problems booking it.

Every single date I've tried is full or it just doesn't come up- help??!!

Answer 1

My Travel do it.

Answer 2

AHA! Now I know why this is a problem. I have been searching for this hotel myself for the last few months.

I am assuming that when you say you're looking at BP Tenerife, you mean you do not want the BP Costa Adeje?

If you are a regular, you'll know that the BP Tenerife and the BP Costa Adeje are in fact the same complex BUT clients who chose to stay (and pay more for the privilidge) at BP Tenerife are usually accomodated in Junior suites. Not only that but being the smaller of the two hotels, it is quieter at BP Tenerife and the food & service is much better than in the BP Costa Adeje. AND if  you stay at BP Tenerife you can eat at the other property but they can't eat at yours.

This is where the problem starts.

In previous years you've been able to book for either hotel with the majority of operators, but this year  Bahia Principe have allocated all of their rooms exclusivley to First Choice in the UK. All the other operators (including Airtours 7 Direct Holidays) are selling Bahia Principe Costa Adeje ONLY.

So... unless you travel with First Choice- and let me tell you- they are very expensive then you'll have to stay at BP Costa Adeje- sorry :-(

I've been told that you can book the BP Costa Adeje and request The BP Tenerife and if theres a room available you might get an upgrade but quite honestly in practice I cannot see that happening.

If you are going to look at First Chice, I'd reccomend you checking out their direct sell operation http://www.eclipsedirect.co.uk/

They are slightly cheaper than the parent company First Choice.

I hope it all goes well for you. All the very best!
