A Long Weekend In Tenerife With Jet2 Holidays
Spending a long Winter weekend in Tenerife with Jet2Holidays - here's what we got up to! *PR trip
Where we stayed: Barcelo Tenerife via Jet2Holidays
Avenida de Greñamora, Urbanización San Blas, 1, 38639 Oasis del Sur, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, SpainOn Monday I returned from a GLORIOUS winter-sun trip to Tenerife with my best friend Steph; we were kindly invited along by Jet2! We were away from Thursday - Monday, which proved to be the perfect winter escape trip we both needed!It was both of our first time to Tenerife and we both absolutely LOVED it! With temperatures between 22-25 degrees, it was a warm welcome from a very rainy UK!We took flights to Tenerife with Jet2 from London Stansted to Tenerife South and both journeys were absolutely seamless, we boarded and took off early both times (it was my first time flying with Jet2 and I was seriously impressed!), the entire journey was hassle-free from start to finish and the staff couldn't do enough to help!We arrived at Barcelo Tenerife via Jet2Holidays and instantly fell in love, the decor & design of the hotel was exquisite, the food options were GREAT (the All Inclusive buffet restaurant had SO much choice there was something for everyone!), and the hotel was really well located on the island (just 10 minutes from the airport and 20 minutes to Costa Adeje!).

Where to eat at Barcelo?
We were originally on a half board package but decided to upgrade to an All Inclusive package to make the most of the hotels incredible resturants!Drago is the hotels main buffet restaurant, serving daily breakfast, lunch & dinner - there's something for everyone at Drago! Hot and cold servings, made to order such as omelettes, fish and stir fries, coffee & ice cream stations (our FAVOURITE!).La Dolce Vita is Barcelo's A La Carte Italian restaurant (available at an extra charge), we treated ourselves to an evening meal here on the Friday night and it was SO good that we went back on the Sunday too!The hotel also offers Arrozante A La Carte Restaurant (rice / paella dishes), and the following bars offering snacks and drinks; B Lounge, Breeze Bar, Magma Lounge Bar, Plaza Bar and the Royal Level Lounge for Royal Level guests.
The Design?
Barcelo's design and decor was my favourite aspect of the hotel; I think it's quite rare for an AI resort to be quite so design focused, from the lobby to the bars and restaurants - everywhere was a picture moment and SO aesthetically pleasing!Barcelo have absolutely nailed the decor with this hotel - I couldn't recommend booking anymore via Jet2Holidays, everything exceeded our expectations by MILES, it was stunning!

The pools & hotel?
The hotel has 8 outdoor pools including 2 children's pools if you're travelling with kids (6 saltwater and 2 freshwater). Barcelo is also located on the seafront, just head outside the hotel and across the road you'll join a board walk that will enable you to explore the coastline and watch the waves crashing against the rocks, beautiful!
What to do?
One day we hopped in a taxi from Barcelo to Costa Adeje for a nice big walk along the seafront & stopped off for Acai Bowls at The Skyr Factory (delicious!), it was so lovely to explore the island!We also spent our Sunday at Siam Park (voted the worlds best waterpark 8 years running), and it's really no surprise how - we absolutely LOVED every second it was so fun!!
