Escape to Paradise: Tenerife's Hotel Adonis Capital Awaits!
Escape to Paradise: Tenerife's Hotel Adonis Capital Awaits! - A Review That's Got More Heart Than a Travel Brochure
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we’re ditching the glossy photos and saccharine prose. I’ve just spent a week at Hotel Adonis Capital in Tenerife, and I’m here to give you the real lowdown. Forget the perfectly posed Instagram shots; this is a warts-and-all, chaotic, and (hopefully) hilarious account of my experience. Prepare for some serious honesty – and maybe a little bit of travel envy.
First Impressions: Accessibility and That All-Important First Glance
Okay, let's start with the basics. Hotel Adonis Capital trumpets its Accessibility - a big win right off the bat. I’m not wheelchair bound, but I always scrutinize these things, because a good hotel respects everyone's needs. And from what I could see, they've made a decent effort. The elevator is thankfully there (and functional!), which is a MUST. I did see ramps in place, and they seemed adequate, though I didn’t personally test them. This is a HUGE plus for inclusivity (and makes life easier for anyone with luggage!). Facilities for disabled guests are undoubtedly something they’re keen on, though a more thorough assessment would be needed from someone with specific mobility requirements. Important note: for a truly in-depth review of accessibility, I'd love to hear from someone who truly needs those features.
The Exterior corridor design is worth noting. It reminded me of a classic holiday resort – a bit retro, a bit practical.
Cleanliness and Safety – Because, You Know, COVID
Let's be real – after the last few years, this is at the TOP of everyone's list. And Hotel Adonis Capital seems to take it seriously. They've got the whole rigmarole – Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer stations everywhere. You know, the works. I saw staff trained in safety protocols, and I did feel relatively safe. I did like how there was Room sanitization opt-out available, something I appreciated on principle. I also saw first aid kits and a doctor/nurse on call.
Rooms: Home Away From… Well, Home, Hopefully a Nicer Version!
My room? Cozy, okay? Not palatial, but perfectly serviceable. Air conditioning blasted frosty goodness, which was a godsend in the Tenerife heat. Blackout curtains were a lifesaver for sleeping in and avoiding that harsh sun. Free Wi-Fi (thank heavens!) And it actually worked! The Wi-Fi in all rooms was solid, and I could even get a connection in the public areas, which is a win-win! And yes, I did some video calls to annoy my boss. No regrets.
The Internet access – wireless and the Internet access – LAN gave two different points to connect which is cool if one thing malfunctions. There's also an Internet option, if you needed it.
Now, the details: the Additional toilet was a plus, the Bathrobes were plush, and the Bed was comfy as heck (or so it seemed, after a few glasses). The Mirror was large enough for my vanity. Did I mention the Hair dryer? Essential. I did appreciate the Complimentary tea, the Coffee/tea maker, and the Mini bar. The Safe box was a godsend for those valuables. Oh, and having Towels already there saves you valuable space and time.
I wasn’t a fan of the Carpeting, but it was otherwise pretty good. The Shower was perfectly fine, but hey, personal preference. Oh, and the Window that opens – always a win, for that sweet, sweet breeze.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – The Fuel of Any Good Vacation
Okay, this is where things get interesting. Let's be real, a good hotel can make or break a trip based on the food.
The Breakfast [buffet] was… well, it was a buffet. Plenty of Breakfast service, and the usual suspects: Western breakfast fare, and a smattering of Asian breakfast bits. The Coffee/tea in restaurant was decent, if not spectacular. They had restaurants, and more importantly, there was a Bar! And let me tell you – if you want a good time at the bar, then that bar is great!
The Poolside bar? Perfect for a cheeky afternoon cocktail. They also have a Snack bar. The A la carte in restaurant option was there, but I am always a sucker for the buffet! They provide Bottle of water, which is always a nice touch.
**Important Note: It's a *very* good idea to make use of the **Alternative meal arrangement if you have dietary needs..
Spa, Sauna, and Relaxation – Because You Deserve It!
The hotel features a Spa/sauna. I may have partaken, may have over partaken. The highlight of the entire trip was the sauna. Just me, the heat, and my thoughts. Ok, I take that back. The Swimming pool [outdoor] with a Pool with a view was breathtaking. The Steamroom was great. They give you a Body scrub, and a Body wrap. Great stuff.
Things to Do and Ways to Relax – Beyond the Beach
The Gym/fitness center was there, but (confession time) I mostly aimed for the Swimming pool and the Sauna. There’s a lot to do, but you need to be prepared to do things.
Things to Consider: Services, Conveniences, and All the Little Things
Cash withdrawal is always good to know, and they offer Currency exchange. The Laundry service and Dry cleaning came in handy. Doorman?? Yes, they have one! Luggage storage also. Oh, the Gift/souvenir shop is conveniently located for all your last-minute present-buying needs.
A few quirks:
- The Family/child friendly tag is accurate. There were plenty of kids around, so if you’re looking for a quiet getaway, you might want to rethink this one.
- The Car park [free of charge] is a lifesaver if you're renting a car.
- The Elevator (again, a winner!).
- The Concierge. They're helpful! Daily housekeeping is a godsend!
- They have Ironing service, in case you want to look fancy.
The Verdict: Would I Go Back?
Look, Hotel Adonis Capital isn’t perfect. It's a solid, dependable choice. It's not a luxury resort, but it offers fantastic value, especially when you consider the free Wi-Fi, good food, and the fantastic pool. It's a perfect base for your Tenerife adventure.

Hotel Adonis Capital: Can This Be MY Island Paradise? (An Overly Dramatic Itinerary)
Okay, so Tenerife. Tenerife! I've been dreaming of this damn island for ages. Sun, sand, sangria… and hopefully, a complete escape from the soul-crushing reality of my life. This itinerary is more a battle plan against boredom than a rigid schedule. Prepare for chaos, folks. We're winging it, mostly.
Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread (Hotel Adonis, Baby!)
- Morning (Like, really early): Flight is delayed. Of course. Ryanair, what did I expect? Spend the entire time battling my inner monologue, which is basically a chorus of self-doubt and the nagging worry I forgot to turn off the damn iron. Managed to snag a stale croissant from a vending machine – the highlight of my pre-holiday diet, apparently.
- Afternoon: Arrive at Tenerife South Airport (TFS). Breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively, after the plane. Jesus, immigration was more like a cattle call. Finally, freedom! Taxi driver smelled vaguely of cigarettes and existential ennui (matching my current mood). Arrive at Hotel Adonis Capital. Place looks…fine. Lobby is a bit beige, but the reception staff is charming, so I'm cautiously optimistic. My room? Eh, it's got a bed, a balcony, and a questionable view of a car park. Progress! Unpack just enough to feel 'settled', and then I crash, immediately.
- Evening: Wake up approximately 4 hours later, disoriented and starving. Wander the streets, feeling utterly lost but secretly loving it. End up in a tapas bar, where I order way too much, including the patatas bravas (which, honestly, were a revelation…crispy and spicy, they resurrected my faith in humanity a little bit). Attempt to order a bottle of house wine, which the waiter – a ridiculously handsome fellow named Miguel – misunderstands and brings me a jug of the stuff. Turns out to be a great choice. I spend the evening people-watching, getting marginally looser, and scribbling nonsense in my notebook. This is what I wanted. This is good.
Day 2: Volcano Views and Minor Panic Attacks
- Morning: Up early (thanks, jet lag!). Attempt a run along the coast. I quickly realize I'm woefully out of shape and nearly succumb to heatstroke. Return to the hotel defeated but victorious. Breakfast: questionable instant coffee, stale bread, and some sort of "mystery jam" that tastes suspiciously like cough syrup. Embrace the weirdness.
- Afternoon: Tour to Mount Teide! This was on the "must-do" list. The cable car climb was amazing. The views from the top? Holy crap. I’m talking breathtaking (literally, the altitude is a killer), lunar-landscape-gorgeous stuff. Spent about an hour just staring at the colossal volcano, feeling insignificant in the best way possible. Actually felt a spark of…awe. Then, on the way down, the cable car gets stuck for an hour because the wind is too crazy. Commence minor panic attack. Manage to survive (thanks, emergency stash of chocolate).
- Evening: Back to the Adonis. Dinner at a small restaurant recommended by Miguel (who, by the way, is now the only reason I’m getting out of bed in the mornings). Had some seriously delicious fresh seafood (so good it made me cry a little). Strolled along the beach, feeling the sand between my toes (and, for a while, having an odd emotional moment where I felt oddly connected with the world). Ended the day drinking more house wine, and now, I’m officially in love with Tenerife.
Day 3: Black Sand Beaches and Tourist Traps
- Morning: Beach day! Head to Playa Jardín, a black sand beach designed by César Manrique himself. The sand is, surprisingly, not hot, and the waves are just right. Decided I’d spend the day being a beach bum. Got slightly sunburned while trying to achieve peak relaxation. Definitely worth it.
- Afternoon: Explore Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the capital. Wandered the streets, got pleasantly lost, and ended up in a tourist shop where I bought a ridiculously overpriced pair of sunglasses and a tacky souvenir. Regret sets in immediately, but hey, at least I have proof I was here, or something.
- Evening: Back at the Adonis. Thought about being productive. Washed my clothes to have less and then found out I had a hole in my pants. Decide to spend a night with more wine, and watch the sunset from the balcony. Which, you know what? Turned out to be pretty damn good.
Day 4: The Eternal Struggle: Relaxation vs. Over-Planning
- Morning: Decide I need a dose of culture. Visit the Museo de Naturaleza y Arqueología. Get completely lost amidst the Guanche mummies. Realize I have absolutely no understanding of Tenerife’s history. Which is somewhat embarrassing, but there we have it.
- Afternoon: Attempt to rent a car and drive somewhere. Get thoroughly confused by the local driving customs (they’re a bit aggressive!). Give up, and head back to the hotel, slightly frayed around the edges.
- Evening: The dreaded "solo meal" in a half-empty restaurant. But, hey, the food was great. I start to feel an undeniable "shift" in myself, I'm starting to get used to this whole "solitary adventurer" thing. Write postcards to everyone I know that I love.
Day 5: Lost in Translation (and Sangria)
- Morning: Attempt to learn some Spanish. Fail miserably. Get a phrasebook, and my attempts to order coffee are met with confused stares. But I'm trying! That counts for something, right?
- Afternoon: Another black sand beach, this time a quieter one. Read a book, listen to the waves. Briefly consider chucking my phone into the ocean (for a moment, feel a surge of freedom at the prospect.) Instead buy a bottle of sangria.
- Evening: Back to the tapas bar from Day 1. Order the patatas bravas (again) and spend the evening chatting with Miguel (he’s patient with my terrible Spanish). We talk about everything and nothing. He tells me the island stories, old tales of love and loss. The night is the best one. Now it’s perfect.
Day 6: Farewell Feast & Post-Holiday Blues (Already?)
- Morning: Final breakfast. Those mystery jams are starting to grow on me. Take a final walk along the beach. Try to soak it all in. Sun, salt, sea… I'm going to miss this bloody island.
- Afternoon: Pack. Sigh. Feel the familiar despair of impending return to reality. Visit the market, buy some souvenirs (this time, I get the good stuff). One last meal. One last glass of wine.
- Evening: Back at the airport. The flight is delayed. Again. Spend the waiting time nursing a weird mix of nostalgia and dread. This trip was a mess, and sometimes I hated it, but damn, I loved it too. Hope I don’t forget. Hope I can come back.
Day 7: Back in Reality
- Morning: Back home. Reality hits like a ton of bricks. The laundry pile looms. My apartment smells like cat food and existential dread. But, there's one thing, now, I'm going to make sangria tonight and remember the good times.
Post Trip: Still dreaming of the patatas bravas. Planning my return. Send help. And more wine.

Frequently Asked Questions (Or, More Like, Things I'm Kinda Wondering About)
So, What's *Actually* Going On Here? (Seriously, I Need a Therapist After This)
I remember this one time, I was trying to bake a cake. A *simple* cake. Box mix, the whole nine yards. But somehow, it ended up looking like a volcanic eruption of batter. I swear, it was mocking me. Like, "Oh, you thought you could handle *this*? Nope." And that’s kind of how life feels sometimes. You think you’ve got it all figured out, and then BAM! Volcano cake. Or a broken relationship. Or a sudden urge to wear mismatched socks.
The point being… embrace the chaos? Honestly, I don’t know anymore. Just keep breathing, I guess. And maybe order pizza. Pizza always helps.What's the deal with... you know... *relationships*? (Ugh, the Drama!)
Okay, but what about... *work*? (The Soul-Sucking Monster)
