Tenerife: Scandal Dinner Show Entry Ticket and 5-Course Meal

Tenerife’s Scandal Dinner Show is interesting because it turns a resort hotel into a full evening performance, where you eat while burlesque, music, and comedy take over the room. I love that you get a 5-course dinner built into the show, not just a ticket for sitting and watching. I also like the mix of acts, from singing and dance to modern burlesque with a bit of laughs built in. One consideration: the experience is clearly adult-oriented, and it is not set up for kids under 16.

You’ll be seated in the Las Olas hall at the GF Victoria, in dim light meant for showtime. The dress code is elegant-casual, and they are strict about clothing, including no swimwear and no flip-flops. If you hate following rules, or you want lots of photos during the performance, this might annoy you.

Key things to know before you go

• Las Olas hall at GF Victoria is the whole setup, with dinner and performance happening in the same space
• A 5-course menu is included, with a vegetarian option you must request ahead
• Welcome drink plus drinks throughout keeps the night moving at a lively pace
• Adult burlesque with modern sensibility includes singing, music, comedy, and dance
• No cameras or flash during the show means plan to enjoy it in real time
• Elegant-casual dress code with long pants for men and no sandals/flip-flops

An easy-to-love Tenerife evening at GF Victoria’s Las Olas hall

This is the kind of night you schedule when you want zero complicated planning. You go to one place, sit down, eat a full multi-course meal, and then watch a staged burlesque show with live entertainment woven in. It is adult, it is polished, and it feels like a resort take on a high-production performance.

I especially like that the venue is part of the experience. The Las Olas auditorium setting is dim, designed for attention. That matters because it makes the acts feel louder, more theatrical, and more fun, even if you are not fluent in the event language.

If you want a quiet dinner, this is not that. If you want a show with energy while you eat, this is right in its lane.

What your $106 ticket really includes (and where value shows up)

At $106 per person, you are paying for three big things at once: the dinner show, a 5-course menu, and a welcome drink. You are also paying for the staffing and production level that comes with a dedicated performance space inside a major hotel.

Here is where the value usually lands for me, and why it can be worth it even if it feels pricey:

• You are not coordinating two separate experiences (dinner plan plus show plan). One ticket covers the flow.
• The meal is not a snack. It is structured as five courses, and you sit through the performance between them.
• The show is live. That means singing, music, and comedy happen in the same time window as your meal, so the night stays moving.

One practical note: you do pick between the regular and vegetarian menus, but you should assume the restaurant will serve what is on the set menu that night. If you have strong food dislikes (especially seafood), I’d think carefully before booking, because at least one account describes the dishes as heavily fish and seafood based.

Before you book, match your expectations to the dress code

This night runs on presentation, so the dress rules are part of the experience. You are expected to dress in elegant-casual style. Men must wear long pants. Entry is prohibited for people wearing swimwear, beach clothes, or sandals. Flip-flops are also not allowed.

That means you should pack like you are going out for a nice dinner, not like you are heading to a daytime pool bar. I’d also plan for indoor comfort because the event space is a performance hall with show lighting.

Also important: cameras and photography equipment are restricted. You cannot bring cameras for use during the show, and professional cameras are not allowed. Flash photography is prohibited. Drones are not allowed either.

If you want to take photos, treat that as a post-show bonus, not part of the main act.

Arriving at GF Victoria: check-in, seating, and your first “aha” moment

The Scandal Dinner Show takes place at the GF Victoria Hotel in Tenerife, in the Las Olas hall. Your meeting point is essentially the show hall. When you arrive, look for the check-in desk to get your table.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so you are responsible for getting yourself there. Once you are checked in, you settle into the auditorium and the night begins to build.

Two small details that can save you stress:

• The table may be shared with other guests, so do not plan on a private, couple-only setup.
• Host or greeter staff use Spanish and English, so you can get help finding your place without guessing too much.

If you want a smooth start, show up early enough to get checked in and settled before the performance energy ramps up. You are not just entering a restaurant, you are entering a show.

How the night unfolds: welcome drink, dinner courses, then the burlesque show

The full experience runs about 2.5 hours, though the exact start time depends on availability. Within that window, the rhythm is built around food and performance alternating so you do not feel stuck waiting.

Here is the basic flow you can plan for:

1. Arrival and check-in at Las Olas hall
2. A welcome drink when you settle in
3. The 5-course dinner served as the show runs
4. Burlesque acts happening around your meal, with music and comedy woven in
5. The event ends back at the meeting point

From the vibe described by people who loved it, the pacing is one of the strengths. Courses land at a pace that keeps you from feeling rushed, but you also do not lose the show momentum.

If you are the type who hates being seated for a long time without distractions, this will help. The performance is active, with breaks and moments where you can look around and catch what is happening around the stage area.

The show itself: modern burlesque with live singing, music, and comedy

This is burlesque with a modern sensibility. Think stagecraft, costumes ranging from lavish to sparkly, and performance energy that is meant to entertain rather than be purely suggestive.

The acts can include:

• Singing
• Live music
• Comedy
• Dance and burlesque-style performance
• Athletic elements, including gymnastics and dance movements with an erotic twist

One thing I really like about this style is that it is not only about looks. The accounts that rank the show highest also talk about the performers showing real athletic skill. That tends to make it more interesting to watch, even if burlesque is not your usual genre.

You should also know the tone is clearly adult. It is not marketed for kids, and you will feel that in the humor and the sensual theme.

Language can affect your experience. If you do not understand Spanish, you might miss some joke details, but the performance itself still works through movement, timing, and music. In other words, the show is more than dialogue.

The 5-course meal: what to expect and how to handle dietary needs

You get a 5-course menu alongside the show. You can choose a regular menu or a vegetarian menu. Vegetarian and vegan menus need to be requested at least 1 day before the activity.

That timing matters. If you wait until the last minute, you might not get the menu swap you want.

As for what you will eat, the key point is that it is a set, included meal, not a choose-from-a-menu buffet. One detail to consider for planning: at least one account notes that the meal can be mainly fish and seafood based. If seafood is a dealbreaker for you, you should either ask questions when booking or be ready for a night built around that style of cooking.

On drinks: a welcome drink is included, and other drinks are served throughout the show. People often highlight that glasses keep filling. So if you enjoy wine or bubbly, this is likely to land well. If you are trying to stay sober, you can still enjoy the show, but go in with your expectations set, because the event is set up for a party-like dining mood.

Portion size is mentioned by some as smaller than expected, but the overall impression stays positive because the service and pacing keep things flowing.

What the no-camera policy changes about your experience

You cannot take photos during the show, and flash photography is banned. Cameras, professional cameras, and drones are also not allowed.

That rule can sound minor, but it actually changes how you experience the show. You will watch more directly. You will notice details you might otherwise miss while filming.

It also helps to know the practical workaround: people describe being able to take pictures with the cast after the show. So if photography is important to you, plan for after, not during.

Language, humor, and how to enjoy it even if Spanish is limited

The host or greeter speaks Spanish and English, and that helps at check-in. But the performance itself can lean more Spanish than English depending on the night. If you want to catch every joke, you might not.

Here is how to handle that:

• Focus on the performance beats, not the punchlines.
• Enjoy the music, staging, and athletic choreography, which communicate without translation.
• If you want clarity, ask staff to confirm any key points before the show begins.

The best part is that you do not need full translation to appreciate costumes, timing, and the overall show energy.

Pre-show drinks with a view: a smart add-on

One of the nice perks at GF Victoria is that the hotel has a sky bar that people describe as a great spot for a pre-show drink and views over Playa de las Americas. Since your dinner show is at the GF Victoria, this works as an easy before-plan if you want to make the evening feel more like a vacation night.

Keep your timing in mind. The show starts at scheduled times based on availability, and check-in happens inside the Las Olas hall.

Who this is best for, and who should think twice

Best fit:

• Couples on a Tenerife getaway who want a fun, adult night out
• People who like stage shows and do not mind a dress-up evening
• Travelers who enjoy live music and comedy paired with dinner
• Anyone excited by burlesque that mixes glamour with athletic performance

Think twice if:

• You want a kid-friendly evening (it is not suitable for under-16)
• You dislike seafood and want a menu that is clearly customizable beyond regular vs vegetarian
• You strongly need to film or photograph during the show
• You are uncomfortable with adult-themed humor and sensual staging

Also, if you hate sharing tables, remember the table may be shared with other guests. That is not necessarily a dealbreaker, but it helps to know upfront.

Should you book the Scandal Dinner Show in Tenerife?

Book it if you want a single-ticket night that combines a real 5-course dinner with a high-energy burlesque stage show. The value is strongest when you like the idea of eating while live music, singing, and comedy happen in the room, and when you are happy to dress up a bit.

Skip it if photography is essential for you during the performance, if seafood-heavy meals would disappoint you, or if you want something family-friendly and daytime-casual. This is an adult show with rules, and it works best when you lean into that.

If you are choosing between a “just dinner” plan and a “dinner plus show” night, this one is built to deliver a complete experience in about 2.5 hours. That makes it an easy win for travelers who want their Tenerife evening to feel special without extra planning.
