We were offered in March 1999 a holiday in the Adeje, La Caleta area of Tenerife by my father in law. He said that the area would be quiet but as we had a 15 month old daughter we thought that it would be ideal for her first holiday abroad. We enjoyed ourselves so much in July 2000 we went back but this time for 2 weeks instead of one.
We actually stayed in two different appartment, one in Adeje and the other at Sunset Harbour between fanabe and Torviscas beaches. It is such an easy place to go with children as the Spanish really love the kids but the areas do tend to be quiet hilly and not recommended if you are to take a person in a wheelchair unless powered. Not many steps around just ramps. It is so easy to walk along the front without a pushchair but you can walk along the footpaths which is quite a nice walk into Las Americas (we even walked into Los Cristianos but got the bus back!!).
Highly recommended if you want a nice, quiet holiday with excellent food, clean beaches and lovely surroundings. Could be a little boring for teenagers although there are a lot of Fun Pubs around with Games etc.
The transfer for this area from the Airport is only 25 minutes and costs around £10 which is excellent as the taxis are all lined up outside the airport and no hanging around is required.
