Escape to Paradise: Lagos de Fanabe's Luxury Awaits in Tenerife!
Escape to Paradise: Lagos de Fanabe's Luxury Awaits in Tenerife!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the shimmering, sun-kissed world of Escape to Paradise: Lagos de Fanabe in Tenerife. This isn't your sterile, cookie-cutter hotel review. This is the real deal, the messy, glorious, slightly-hungover-from-too-much-sangria-the-night-before truth. We're talking about trying to decide if this place is worth your hard-earned vacation time, and let me tell you, after spending a week basking in its luxury, my bank account is still weeping, but my soul? My soul’s doing the samba.
Let's Get This Show on the Road: Accessibility & Safety? You Betcha!
First things first: can you get around? Can you feel safe? YES. The hotel boasts a serious commitment to accessibility. Now, I'm not personally a wheelchair user, but I saw ramps, elevators that actually work (a rare treat, let me tell you), and a clear focus on making things easy for everyone. The website is incredibly clear about the accessibility features, and you're not gonna be stumbling over surprises. Security? Tight. CCTV cameras everywhere (inside and out), 24/7 security, and the staff? They're trained, friendly, and if you drop your phone, they'll probably chase you down the street to give it back. (Okay, maybe not, but you get the idea.)
Cleanliness & Safety: Forget Germs, Embrace the Peace!
This is where they really, truly shine. In today's world, safety is paramount, and Escape to Paradise has absolutely nailed it. They're not just saying they're clean; they're doing it. Think antiviral cleaning products, daily disinfection, and staff who look less like they're just going through the motions and more like they're battling some unseen, germ-infested horde. Rooms are sanitized between stays, and you can even opt-out of room sanitization if you prefer a more…lived-in atmosphere. Seriously, they go above and beyond. Hand sanitizer everywhere you look, and they've implemented contactless check-in/out beautifully.
Rooms: Your Personal Sanctuary (Even If You're a Mess)
Okay, confession time: I’m a total room service hog. And Escape to Paradise gets me. The rooms are… well, they're divine. Think plush carpets, blackout curtains (crucial for afternoon naps after too much sun), air conditioning that actually WORKS (again, a rarity!), and a bathroom so luxurious I almost considered moving in permanently. And the little things! Free bottled water, a coffee/tea maker, and a damn alarm clock! Who knew these things were still a thing? (Clearly, I've been living under a rock.)
The Wifi Saga: Wireless, LAN, All That Jazz
Okay, let's get real. We all need to check our emails, stream a movie, or just generally stay connected to the outside world. The hotel has free Wi-Fi in all rooms (thank the heavens!), and it's pretty zippy. I even managed to video call my grumpy cat back home (he seemed…underwhelmed). They also offer internet access – LAN, a delightful throwback for those who prefer the click-clack of a cable. Good for those serious work trips, you know? You can even host seminars here.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: My Waistband Is Officially a Casualty.
Let's be honest, the food is a HUGE deal on vacation. And Escape to Paradise does NOT disappoint.
- Restaurants: Multiple restaurants! From the buffet to the a la carte restaurants, it's a smorgasbord of deliciousness. Western breakfasts are a must, I’m a sucker for a good full English when on vacation, but they also have Asian Breakfasts, Asian cuisine, everything!
- Poolside Bar: The key to a perfect vacation.
- Snack Bar: For those midnight cravings.
- Room Service: 24/7. Need I say more?
My Personal Epic Fail (and Why It Was Still Amazing)
Now, for the real reason I’m writing this: the SPA. I'm a sucker for a good spa, and Escape to Paradise has a knockout one. They have a fitness center, a sauna, a steam room, spa treatments galore… I opted for a massage after spending far too many hours in the sun.
Here's where my trip took a turn for the… well, memorable. I forgot about sunblock, and let's just say I resembled a lobster. A very, very red lobster. The lovely spa attendant gently pointed out my lobster-esque appearance and suggested I try a body wrap to soothe the sunburn.
I’m laying there, wrapped in seaweed (or something similar, I couldn’t tell), and I suddenly get this overwhelming urge… to sneeze. Which, when you’re encased in warm, gloopy seaweed, is not ideal. I try to hold it in. I squeeze my eyes shut. And then… ACHOOOOOOO! The seaweed… the gloop… it went EVERYWHERE. On the ceiling, on the walls, and mostly on ME.
I wanted to crawl under a rock, but the spa attendant, bless her heart, just started laughing. Then I started laughing. We cleaned up the mess (which took longer than the massage itself), and she still managed to make me feel relaxed and pampered. That, my friends, is the sign of a truly amazing spa. And the fact that they didn't kick me out, screaming, is a testament to their professionalism and incredible understanding of human nature.
Things To Do & Ways to Relax: More Than You'll Know What to Do With
Aside from the spa (which, after my epic sneeze, became even more special), Escape to Paradise has tons on offer:
- Multiple Pools: Including an outdoor pool with a view (stunning!).

In Conclusion (Sort Of): Is Escape to Paradise Worth It?
Absolutely. Yes. Without a doubt. It's more than just a hotel; it's an experience. It's a place where you can relax, rejuvenate, and maybe, just maybe, accidentally cover yourself in seaweed. The staff are amazing, the facilities are top-notch, and the overall vibe is pure bliss.

Ski-In/Ski-Out Luxury: Your Wagrain Apartment Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups! Because this ain't your grandma's travel itinerary. This is my attempt at conquering Lagos de Fanabe Beach Resort in Tenerife. Let's see if I survive… and if the mojitos actually taste as good as they look in the brochures.
Lagos de Fanabe: Diary of a Disaster (Maybe Delight?)
Day 1: Arrival - Paradise Found…Or Is It Just Sand?
- 10:00 AM (ish): Landed in Tenerife South. Honestly, a bit jet-lagged already. The sun is blasting. My suitcase, bless its cotton socks, appears to be a refugee from a particularly brutal baggage handling incident. One wheel is practically begging for mercy. This does not bode well.
- 11:00 AM (ish): Taxi ride to the resort. The driver was probably lovely, but I was too busy trying to decode the Spanish radio. Kept hearing "Hola!" which I, of course, responded to enthusiastically, thinking they were talking to me… which wasn't.
- 12:00 PM: Check-in. The lobby is genuinely gorgeous. Marble everywhere. I'm starting to think I'm slightly underdressed in my travel sweatpants. They gave me a room on the seventh floor. Pray for my elevator stamina.
- 1:00 PM: The Room Debacle: Okay, so the room DOES have an ocean view! It's… spectacular! Except, the balcony door jammed. And I mean, jammed jammed. Like, "I need a crowbar and a lot of luck" jammed. Called reception. Praying for speedy assistance as I imagine the hotel staff running the service or maintenance team. I've been locked in the room for some time now. I really need some water.
- 2:00 PM: The Pool is Calling The maintenance team finally arrived just as my thirst began to get out of hand. The door is unlocked now. I decided to head down to the pool! But I swear, the pool area is all models and tans and perfect smiles. I feel like a washed-up potato in a beauty pageant. But, hey, the water is cool. Maybe I'll just hide under a giant umbrella for a while.
- 4:00 PM: Poolside Cocktails and the Art of Pretending. Trying to be sophisticated. Ordering a mojito. Spectacular view. I am happy. Trying to look like I do this all the time. But I'm pretty sure I just spilled half it on my foot. The sun is directly in my eyes, so I can't actually see what I'm doing. Great.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. I’m now at the hotel restaurant for dinner. I felt weird to bring my bag with me there, so I decided to leave it in the room… Well, I got seated just fine, but I realized I forgot my sunglasses, my book, and my wallet. I'm going back.
- 8:00 PM: I'm back in my room.
Day 2: Sun, Sand, and…Sunburn?
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast. The buffet is a thing! So much food. All of it looks amazing. I’m pretty sure I consumed my body weight in pastries. I need to start this day slow.
- 10:00 AM: Beach Time! Lagos de Fanabe beach is beautiful. The sand is a lovely shade of grey. I've applied sunscreen. Possibly too much, not sure. But I see that I'm not the only one who feels that way. I think I will stick to the shade.
- 11:00 AM: I spent an hour reading a book under an umbrella. I think I've already overdone it. I think I'm starting to sweat.
- 12:00 PM: I decided to take a walk, because I was starting to be restless.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch. I'm eating some light lunch on the beach.
- 2:00 PM: Shopping. There are some shops around. Time to see what I can find.
- 3:00 PM: Nap time.
- 4:00 PM: I am getting a massage in the resort's Spa. Oh, wow. I feel like I'm melting into a puddle of bliss.
- 7:00 PM: I am getting the dinner in one of the Restaurants inside the resort, it was good, nothing spectacular but good. I will go to sleep early.
Day 3: The Great Excursion…and My Inner Homer Simpson
- 9:00 AM: Wake up. Today is the day of the excursion! I am excited.
- 10:00 AM: The excursion is starting! The drive is kind of long but I feel excited!
- 11:00 AM: The views are great, I am seeing a whale!
- 12:00 PM: Lunch time!
- 1:00 PM: The trip continued on.
- 2:00 PM: The trip is about to end.
- 3:00 PM: Return to the hotel. Exhausted but happy!
- 4:00 PM: Relaxing by the pool, I felt like I needed it.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel restaurant.
- 8:00 PM: Early Bed…
Day 4: Last Day - Do I Want to Go Home? (Rhetorical Question)
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast. Another buffet assault. Thinking of writing a strongly worded letter to my doctor about the amount of cheese I'm consuming.
- 10:00 AM: More beach time. Need one last dose of Vitamin Sea. Sunscreen? Check. Sunglasses? Check. Sanity? Questionable.
- 11:00 AM: Shopping! One last desperate attempt to find some souvenirs. I might buy something for myself.
- 12:00 PM: One last ice cream.
- 1:00 PM: Packing. Crying a little. Okay, a lot. I don’t want to leave.
- 2:00 PM: Pool one last time.
- 4:00 PM: Checking out. Goodbye, Lagos de Fanabe! You slightly chaotic, incredibly beautiful, and surprisingly addictive resort.
- 5:00 PM: Taxi to the airport. The driver this time actually spoke English. Turns out, the radio wasn’t talking about me.
- 8:00 PM: Plane departs. I am sad but happy.
Final Thoughts:
Listen, this trip wasn't perfect. There were jammed doors, questionable fashion choices, and more pastries than a sane person should consume. But it was mine. I got to see the ocean, eat amazing food, and, most importantly, escape the daily grind, so I'm counting that as an absolute win.

Escape to Paradise: Lagos de Fanabe - Your Brain on Tenerife (and Wine!) FAQs - Buckle Up!
Okay, so Lagos de Fanabe... Is it *actually* paradise? Because I've seen some questionable "paradises" in my time...
Alright, deep breaths. Paradise? That's a loaded word, right? Like promising you a free puppy and then delivering... a very enthusiastic hamster. Look, Lagos de Fanabe is *stunning*. The views? Forget about it. I swear, I spent a solid hour on my balcony just staring at the turquoise water. (And yes, a cheeky glass of wine may have been involved.) The sunsets? Cue cheesy music, because they're the real deal. BUT… it's *Tenerife*. Things happen.
My first night, I tripped over my own feet trying to get to the pool bar. Graceful as a baby giraffe, I was. So, paradise? Let's say *mostly*. With a healthy dose of reality thrown in. (And maybe bring some Compeed for those inevitable blisters from all that walking.)
What's the deal with the pools? Because I NEED a pool. I dream of pools.
The pools? Oh, the pools. They're beautiful. Seriously. They shimmer. They beckon. They're *everywhere*. There are like, three or four different ones. One is a shallow one for kids that made me momentarily consider having a kid just to splash around in it (then I came to my senses). There's a big one, a quiet one... Honestly, you're spoiled for choice.
Here's my hot take: One afternoon, I spent a solid three hours just floating in a pool, listening to a terrible audiobook, and sipping iced coffee. It was the peak of civilization. **My** civilization, anyway. Just be warned: finding a sun lounger after 10 am can be a competitive sport. Think Hunger Games, but with more sunblock and fewer bows and arrows. Get there early. Really early. Or embrace the chaos. Your call. Also, the pool bar is a lifesaver.
Food, glorious food! What's the grub like at Lagos de Fanabe? And is it all just… tourist food?
Okay, food. This is where things get interesting. Yes, there's tourist food. And yes, it's sometimes… well, let's just say it's *functional*. But. BUT! Dig a little deeper, and you find absolute gems. The breakfast buffet? Standard buffet fare, but with a ridiculous crepe station. I may or may not have had a crepe mountain. Don’t judge.
Now, the real magic (and honestly, this is where the memory gets a bit shaky thanks to the amount of Sangria involved) is in the local restaurants. Don't be afraid to wander outside of the hotel. Trust me. There was this tiny little place, tucked away down a side street, with the most amazing tapas. I swear, I could still taste the garlic prawns a week later. We got lost once trying to find it again. The struggle was totally worth it. Seriously, ask the locals, or use your phone. Because that buffet is *good*, but that local experience... Chef's kiss!
Seriously, is it worth the money? Because I'm on a budget the size of a postage stamp.
Worth the money? Ah, the age-old question. Look, luxury comes at a price. Lagos de Fanabe isn't budget travel. But, if you're looking for a splurge, a treat, a chance to completely switch off... then, yeah, I'd say it's worth it.
Think of it this way: you’re not just paying for a hotel room. You’re paying for the views, the service, the feeling of being looked after, the sunsets that melt your worries away. (Okay, the wine might help with that part, too.) But most importantly, you're paying for the memory. And honestly...that's priceless. It is. Even if it means eating instant noodles for a month after. (Worth it.)
What's the best thing about Lagos de Fanabe? Spill the tea!
Okay, so "best thing" is tough...It depends on what gets you going.
The staff? Super helpful! The rooms were nice and clean. No drama!
For me, it was the balcony. Specifically, the balcony at sunset. On my first night, I swear I almost cried, it was so beautiful. The colors! Oh my GOD, the colors! And the air... You know? That salty clean sea air? It got me good.
And the second best thing (tied with the balcony) was the complete lack of routine. I could sleep until noon. Then I could eat tapas at 3 pm. Then I could drink wine on the balcony, and listen to the waves crashing. I could, and I did. It was just the best.
Any downsides? Be honest, my friend.
Alright, alright. Time for a dose of reality. Here's the not-so-perfect stuff...
The sun loungers... as mentioned. They're a bloodsport.
The location is great, but maybe a bit too touristy. You're in the thick of it, meaning you're surrounded by other holidaymakers. Which, you know, isn't always a *bad* thing, but if you're looking for total isolation... this isn't it.
I also got a tad too sunburnt and had to stay out of the sun for a while. A lot of time.
And, let's be real, the food isn't always Michelin star quality. But you are on Holiday!
What should I pack? Besides the obvious things like sunscreen and a swimsuit...
Oh, you want the insider tips? Okay, here goes...
1. **A decent hat:** Seriously. The sun is brutal.
2. **A reusable water bottle:** Stay hydrated, people! (And save the planet, you eco-warrior, you.)
3. **Comfy shoes:** You'll be doing a lot of walking, exploring and generally wandering around.
4. **Adaptor for your electronics:** Can't charge my phone without it, and it made me not able to take any pictures (Don't do that!)
5. **A good book (or three):** Or, you know, download some audiobooks. Perfect for the pool.
Would you go back? Spill the tea!
