Hotel - Quinto Centenario, 7, Playa de Las Américas, Adeje, 38660 Tenerife, Avenida V Centenario 7, 38660 Playa de las Americas, Spain - 2 Stars - 165, 147, 115 Rooms
Advantages: Spectacular and unusual scenery. Duty-free Disadvantages: Large resorts are lager-lout territory.
We went to Puerto de Santiago/Los Gigantes, which is northwest of the two most ?popular? resorts, Playa de las Americas & Los Cristianos - muchos Ingleses!
These two, in my view, are awful, and visitors going there for the first time expecting something with a foreign feel will be disappointed by the usual rash of "See Leeds v Barcelona live tonite on Sky" cafes and bars. What they do have is beaches. It?s not just us either. The Germans are catered for in a similar way. I suppose Tenerife is like the best and the worst of southern Spain in that respect. Los Christianos does have one saving grace - it?s the ferry port to La Gomera, one of the other islands, which makes for a fascinating day out in itself.
Puerto de Santiago hasn't got much of a beach but the pools in the hotels & apartments are usually fine. It has a good ...
Advantages: Quiet and relaxing Disadvantages: Dingy room and pool area dominated by timeshare owners
My boyfriend and I visited this hotel last summer, having gotten a bargain price through Travel Republic. I think we paid around £150 for the room for the week, which was a good price for a four star hotel in Costa Adeje, one of Tenerife's more family and couple based upmarket resorts.
When we arrived it all looked fairly posistive - the reception area was clean and spacious if a little dated and the welcome we received was nice if a little brusque. This became clearly the way staff talked to guests - they bordered on rude at times in spite of our efforts to speak Spanish to them because of their limited English. There was a small shop selling standards such as bottles of water and chocolate so we got some snacks (overpriced but what you expect in a hotel) after our journey and headed off to our room.
We were situated ...
Advantages: Nice Loos! Disadvantages: An oyster must die to gain the pearl.
I am a Vegetarian but one place that I love to visit on the Island of Tenerife is Tenerife Pearl. I rarely buy pearls due to how they are obtained but I love to look around Tenerife Pearl. There are many fascinating facts to learn about pearls as well as some extremely beautiful sites to see. The centre also sells semi-precious gems, watches, chains and other souvenirs. In addition to the beautiful hand crafted masterpieces (The carnival costumes for instance) that you would expect from this internationally valued company, Tenerife Pearl also produce a whole range of cheaper costume jewellery, to fit even the smallest of budgets budget. Many of these pieces make spectacular and yet also affordable gifts for friends and other family members. With prices well under those of the 'High Street Jewellers' even by Tenerife standards, there are ...
