Now that I’m home and back to everyday life, I keep thinking about our holiday and all the memories we made at Hotel Bitácora. Sometimes you don’t realise how special those little moments are until the holiday is over. ❤️
This was our third year choosing the adults-only UP experience, and it really has become part of our Tenerife holiday. Every time we arrive back at Bitácora, I get that lovely feeling of “we’re back.” It feels familiar, comfortable and somewhere I can finally switch off.
One of my favourite things this year was our pool-view room. 🌴☀️ Waking up, looking outside and seeing the pool instantly reminded me that I was in Tenerife. Sometimes I would just stand there looking at the view and take it all in. I really miss that now I’m home.
Our UP Days are always special. I love being able to relax in the adults-only area, feel the sunshine, enjoy a drink and spend time chatting and laughing. There’s no rushing around and no thinking about work or what needs doing back home — just enjoying the moment.
We also love spending time in the UP Lounge. It’s become another part of our holiday and somewhere we can sit back, relax and enjoy being together. 🍹
Then there are the UP Club and party nights! 🎉❤️ We always enjoy them. There are laughs, drinks, music and those little moments between friends that end up becoming some of your favourite memories.
Food is another part of Bitácora that I really enjoy. The snack bar and buffet restaurant are great, and being vegetarian, it means a lot to me that I can always find something I enjoy eating. 🌱 I never feel like I’m missing out.
We also really enjoy our UP meal. Sitting together, enjoying our food, chatting and laughing is another simple part of the holiday that I really treasure.
At night, we love heading into the main part of Bitácora to watch the shows. 🎶✨ I love the atmosphere in the evenings. After relaxing in UP during the day, it’s lovely to sit together and enjoy the entertainment.
This holiday had some unexpected emotional moments too when my friend became unwell. It was frightening and certainly not something we expected to deal with while away. Thankfully everything turned out okay, but it made me appreciate our time together even more. ❤️
It reminded me that holidays aren’t just about the sunshine, the hotel or where you travel to. They’re about the people you share them with, looking after each other, laughing together and making memories that you bring home with you.
When I think about Bitácora now, I don’t just think about a hotel. I think about our happy place.
I think about waking up to that pool view, the Tenerife sunshine, our UP Days, relaxing in the lounge, the party nights, the food, cocktails, evening shows and all the laughs along the way.
Coming home is always bittersweet. I’m happy to be home, but part of me is already missing waking up in Tenerife and knowing another Bitácora day is ahead.
A massive thank you to everyone at Hotel Bitácora and the UP team for welcoming us back and helping make our third year another one we’ll remember. ❤️
Three years of UP, three years of memories, and hopefully many more still to come.
Bitácora, thank you for being part of so many special memories.
This isn’t goodbye — it’s just until next time. 🌴☀️🍹❤️
