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

The most unusual part of this Tenerife evening is the way dinner and stage action share the same space. At the GF Victoria Hotel’s Las Olas hall, burlesque, live singing, comedy, dance, and gymnastics unfold around a five-course meal. It is part cabaret, part athletic spectacle, and part celebratory night out.

I like the wide mix of acts, which keeps the 2.5-hour show from feeling like one long dance number. I also like the generous drinks service, with a welcome drink and continued drinks during the performance. The main caution is the food: the menu is not clearly presented in advance, and some evenings lean heavily toward fish and seafood.

Key points at a glance

• Adult cabaret with athletic flair: Expect burlesque, comedy, music, dance, and impressive gymnastics rather than a simple stage revue.
• Five courses in the Las Olas hall: The meal is served during the performance, with courses paced through the evening.
• A polished hotel setting: The GF Victoria provides an elegant backdrop, with dim lighting and attentive table service.
• Seafood may dominate: Ask about the menu before booking if you dislike fish, shellfish, or unfamiliar dishes.
• English is available, but not always equal: The show uses Spanish and English, though some spoken jokes and introductions may be easier to follow in Spanish.
• Dress properly: Men need long trousers. Swimwear, beach clothes, sandals, flip flops, and sportswear are not accepted.

What kind of night is Scandal Dinner Show?

Scandal is designed as a full evening rather than a quick performance with a snack. You arrive at the GF Victoria Hotel, find the check-in desk, and receive your table assignment before entering the Las Olas hall. The room uses low light and a theatrical setting to create a clear change of mood from the resort streets outside.

The show has an adult tone, but the emphasis is on stylish burlesque, sensual choreography, humor, costumes, and athletic performance. The acts can include live singing, music, dance, comedy, and gymnastics. If you are expecting an explicit adult show, this is likely milder than that. The performance is sexy, but it is also playful and highly physical.

That mix is the reason I would not describe Scandal as ordinary dinner theater. A gymnastics act may follow a comic number, then give way to a dance routine or a glittering costume change. The pace gives the evening a variety-show feel, with plenty happening across the stage and, at times, around the room.

You should be comfortable with adult humor and sensual presentation. This is not an activity for children under 16, and it suits couples, birthday celebrations, and friends looking for something more memorable than a standard restaurant meal.

Arriving at the GF Victoria and Las Olas hall

The performance takes place in the Las Olas hall of the GF Victoria Hotel. There is no hotel pickup or drop-off, so you arrange your own way to the venue. Once inside, look for the check-in desk. That is where you find out where you are sitting.

The table may be shared with other people. That matters if you want a private dinner for two or are marking a special occasion. If you prefer a more social setting, shared seating can add to the evening’s communal feel. Either way, allow enough time to check in without rushing.

The dress code is best read as elegant-casual, with a slightly glamorous edge. Men must wear long trousers. Do not arrive in swimwear, beach clothes, sandals, flip flops, or sportswear. This is one of those occasions when resort-casual means a smart outfit, not clothing worn beside the pool.

The setting does much of the early work. Dim lighting, a hotel auditorium, and the anticipation of a live show make the entrance feel more special than walking into a regular dining room. If you want a drink before the performance, the GF Victoria sky bar has been noted as a possible nearby option, with views toward Playa de las Americas. That stop is not part of the ticket, so plan and pay for it separately.

How the five-course dinner fits the performance

The five-course meal is served during the show, with the kitchen at the GF Victoria preparing the dishes. The pacing is important here. You are not simply eating first and then watching a performance. The evening alternates between food, stage action, and short pauses, so the dinner becomes part of the rhythm.

The food has been praised for taste, presentation, and timing. Portions can be modest, which is common with a multi-course theatrical dinner. You receive variety rather than one large plate, so do not arrive expecting a heavy restaurant meal.

The regular menu may include several fish and seafood dishes. That is the most important food warning. If you dislike seafood, have an allergy, or want to know exactly what you are eating, ask before booking or contact the venue in advance. The menu is not always provided in a clear way at the table, and some diners have found that uncertainty frustrating.

Vegetarian and vegan menus are available, but you need to request them at least one day before the activity. Do not assume you can make the change on arrival. The same advice applies to food allergies or strong dietary restrictions, even though the supplied information specifically confirms vegetarian and vegan requests.

Drinks are one of the evening’s better-value features. The ticket includes a welcome drink, and drinks continue during the show. Several accounts describe wine being poured freely throughout the night, sometimes with glasses kept topped up. The exact arrangement can depend on the service, so consider the ticket’s included drinks rather than assuming every possible drink is unlimited.

Service is another strong point. The waitstaff are described as attentive and well organized, with courses arriving at a sensible pace. That matters because poor timing can ruin dinner theater. Here, the meal is meant to support the performance instead of forcing you to choose between watching the stage and eating.

The burlesque show: comedy, costumes, and gymnastics

The stage program is the main reason to book Scandal. The acts are varied, polished, and deliberately theatrical. You might see singing, dance, comedy, and gymnastics woven together rather than presented as separate formal numbers.

The gymnastics are a particular highlight. The athletic moments give the show a circus-like edge, but the presentation remains rooted in burlesque. Expect flexibility, strength, balance, and carefully staged movement with an erotic twist. The performers use costumes that range from lavish to glittery, helping each number feel distinct.

The humor keeps the mood from becoming too serious. Some parts invite audience participation, and short breaks can become lively, with people dancing before the next number begins. If you prefer to watch quietly, you can do that. The audience involvement is part of the fun, but it is not the whole show.

The show’s sensuality is stylish rather than relentlessly provocative. It includes erotic dance and adult themes, but it is not presented as full nudity. That distinction is useful when deciding if the performance fits your evening plans.

Photography is prohibited inside the show. Cameras, professional cameras, flash photography, and drones are also not allowed. You may be able to take photographs with the cast afterward, but do not count on taking pictures during the acts. The rule protects the performers and keeps bright screens from interrupting the dark room.

Language and how much you will understand

The host or greeter speaks Spanish and English, and the show is presented for an international audience. Still, the balance between the two languages may not be even. Some introductions and jokes can be delivered mainly in Spanish, with only selected points translated into English.

That will matter most during the spoken comedy and presenter sections. Music, dance, costumes, and gymnastics cross language barriers easily. If understanding every joke is important to you, this may not be the ideal show. If you mainly want visual entertainment with some spoken material, the language issue is less serious.

When booking, do not assume that selecting English means every line will be repeated fully in English. The experience remains accessible to English speakers, but the bilingual presentation can be uneven.

Is the $106 price good value?

At $106 per person, Scandal is not a cheap dinner. You are paying for a five-course meal, a welcome drink, drinks during the show, a hotel venue, table service, and a professionally staged performance lasting about 2.5 hours.

The value improves if you would otherwise pay separately for a good dinner and a major evening show. It also makes sense for a birthday, anniversary, or special night when you want the meal and entertainment handled in one booking. The polished service and steady flow of drinks add to the feeling of a complete occasion.

The value is weaker if you mainly want a quiet, private dinner, a large meal, or a low-cost cabaret. Shared tables may not suit couples seeking privacy. The menu may be challenging for seafood-free diners, and portions can feel small if you expect a traditional three-course restaurant dinner.

I would compare Scandal with the cost of two separate activities in Tenerife, not with the price of a normal meal. If you enjoy live performance and would happily pay for an evening show, the combination is reasonable. If the food is your priority, get menu details first.

Who will enjoy this Tenerife evening?

Scandal works best for adults who want a theatrical night out with dinner included. It is particularly suitable for couples, birthday celebrations, and friends who enjoy playful entertainment, audience participation, and a dressier atmosphere.

You will probably enjoy it if you like:

• Burlesque with comedy and athletic movement
• Cabaret costumes and live music
• Multi-course dining with table service
• A lively evening that runs on a set schedule
• Special occasions that call for something different

You may want another plan if you dislike seafood, do not understand much Spanish, or prefer complete control over your dinner menu. It is also not right for anyone under 16, and the clothing rules make it unsuitable for a last-minute beachwear outing.

The activity is wheelchair accessible, which is useful for planning, though the table arrangement may still vary. If you need a particular seating setup, ask ahead rather than leaving it to arrival.

Practical advice for a smoother night

Request vegetarian or vegan food at least one day before the show. If you have allergies or avoid seafood, ask what the five courses contain before committing. The lack of a clearly available menu can be a real issue for cautious eaters.

Arrive dressed for an elegant hotel setting. Long trousers are required for men, and sandals, flip flops, swimwear, beach clothes, and sportswear are prohibited. You do not need to treat the evening as a black-tie event, but smart clothing is the safe choice.

At the entrance, go straight to the check-in desk in the Las Olas hall. Your table may be shared, so keep that in mind when booking for a celebration. Drinks are part of the experience, but arrange your return journey responsibly since transport is not included.

The show lasts 2.5 hours. Starting times vary, so check the available slot before making dinner, taxi, or other evening plans. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the activity, and you can reserve now and pay later when that option is offered at booking.

Should you book Scandal Dinner Show?

Book it if you want a polished, adult evening that combines dinner, cabaret, comedy, live music, and athletic performance. The wide range of acts, attentive service, and drinks throughout the show make it more than a meal with background entertainment.

Think twice if you need a fully published menu, dislike fish and shellfish, or want every spoken joke in English. Ask about the food and language balance before paying. For a birthday or couples’ night, though, Scandal offers a distinct Tenerife experience at a price that can make sense when you value both the meal and the show.
