Sol Tenerife Hotel

Facilities are geared towards classic resort downtime. There are three sea-facing pools, two for adults and one for children, with space to switch off after your round. You've also got a tennis court for a knock-about if you've still got energy left, plus free Wi-Fi throughout and an internet corner for anyone who needs to check in with work or sort tee-time admin.

Evenings are lively enough, with two show stages, one outdoors and one inside, hosting regular entertainment. That's useful for mixed groups where not everyone wants to head out every night, or for families who want something easy after dinner. If you're planning to explore further afield, there's private outdoor parking for 25 vehicles. It's limited, so I wouldn't rely on it at peak times, but it's a helpful extra if you've hired a car to reach other courses or day trips around the island.

Food and drink is straightforward and convenient. There's a main restaurant for meals, plus La Palapa Bar, the Pool Bar and a Lounge Bar, so you can keep it casual with a bite by the pool, or settle in for a drink in the evening before heading out to the strip. The setup suits golfers who want flexibility: grab breakfast, head out for the day, then decide later whether you're eating in or exploring the local restaurants and nightlife along the seafront.

The hotel has 522 rooms, and most are sea-facing, which is a proper Tenerife perk. If you can, I'd pay a bit extra for a sea view: waking up to the Atlantic and the sound of the waves beats staring at the car park after a blustery day on a coastal layout. Rooms are functional rather than fancy, but they're comfortable enough for a golf break where you're spending most of your time on the course, by the pool or out in the resort.

For groups and societies, the size of the hotel and the range of facilities mean you've got space to spread out, plus enough going on that everyone can find something to do between rounds.
