Abama Golf

Set against the backdrop of the Atlantic shoreline, the modern championship course is adorned with a beautiful array of lakes and waterfalls, while during construction no less than 25,000 trees were planted across the layout.

From the back tee markers, Abama reaches 6,858 yards, which is not particularly long for a modern construction, but visitors will enjoy the terrific variety of holes that designer Thomas has conceived.

Although there are many stand-outs, the 10th is arguably the signature hole, as it dog-legs to the left, bordered on one side by out-of-bounds and on the other by a threatening sequence of lakes.

This resort opened to a fanfare of publicity as it stated its case to be one of the most prestigious resorts in Europe and beyond, and since its inauguration has certainly not disappointed - Dave Thomas' outstanding golf course is a major part of that success.

The Abama Golf Course also boasts a great practice facility, including a dedicated short game area and a three hole par-3 academy course, while the buggies are all fitted with the latest GPS technology and there is a new golf bag storage facility.

We had a lovely room overlooking the 12th hole with a sea view. All the staff were very professional and attentive - housekeeping, wait staff, reception and porters. The breakfasts were exceptional. We only ate in the hotel on two nights as although the food was wonderful- fresh and high quality- the prices were very steep. We took a taxi into Playa San Juan and ate in the local restuarants there for less than half the price. We also ate at Atlantico restuarant at the golf club (free shuttle from the hotel) which was very good quality and considerably cheaper.

We are in local village most nights as meals and drinks in hotel ridiculous prices but did not deter from our holiday as excellent restaurants I. San Juan. Our only issue would be a quiet area designated for adults only at breakfast as far too noisy and chaotic in main area!!! Otherwise great hotel 👍

Best hotel in Tenerife but probably also the most expensive but its worth every penny! Its a Ritz Carlton so as expected the staff/service are excellent. The standard rooms are great and the breakfast is fab! Pools and bars and beach restaurant are all really nice and they transfer you up to the golf course - 5 minutes up the hill either by minibus or give you a 4 passenger buggy.

The Abama is a tropical paradise. Not only does it have a superior golf course with very testing greens, it is a resort where you can truly relax. The private beach and lagoon, the ample swimming pools, the many places you can eat and drink make the resort very special. All the staff who we had the pleasure to come across during our stay were exemplary in every way, nothing was too much trouble and they were all so happy and friendly, without exception. It was our first trip there and will certainly not be the last, we loved it.

Located 25 min from airport, hotel looks like an African mud palace.

I love this hotel and have stayed twice already this year but this time I was a bit disappointed as there was a lot of renovation work going on. The normal breakfast room was closed so breakfast was in a much smaller room with queues for the toaster etc. There was work going on by one of the pools and big renovation work in the reception area which was unattractive and noisy. I understand that they need to get these things done but from a 5 star hotel I expect better. Staff were as professional and charming as ever and the bedroom and bathroom wonderful.
