A Taster about Tenerife Pearl Centre

Advantages: Nice Loos!
Disadvantages: An oyster must die to gain the pearl.

...will cost extra, but is well worth the added expense in my view. **How to Get There** Tenerife Pearl can be found at Armeñime on the main road between Playa de las Americas (within 10 km Playa de las Americas) and Los Gigantes (South side of the island). It is opened seven days a week from 9am till 8pm. There is a free car park. If going by bus take Bus number 473. Address: Tenerife Pearl C.C. Teide 5 San Eugenio Alto Adeje Tenerife Telephone number: 922 715661 Fax number: 922 715953 Website: www.worldpearl.com/centres/tenerifepearl This opinion is just a short taster about Tenerife Pearl. I have only included a small amount of information about this large centre to wet you appetite to visit. There is much to discover and learn whilst enjoying a peaceful visit out of the intensive mid-day sun. Oh and by the way...

Review of Tenerife (Spain)

Club Atlantis, Costa Adeje, Tenerife

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...

Review of Club Atlantis, Tenerife

Tenerife - The Good The Bad and The Ugly

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...

Review of Tenerife (Spain)

Hotel Noelia Sur, Tenerife

Advantages: Quality, Family Friendly Hotel
Disadvantages: Non really, just needs to sort out the sunbed situation

....50 for a set of headphones. TIP---take two sets of personal stereo headphones and place the jack plugs in each socket, you will then have 1 working earphone from each set to go in each ear. The package holiday is comming to a close as they are out pricing themselves, this is why it is cheeper to book the flights and the hotel on-line or through a travel agent saving loads. I paid around £1800 for the flights, and the hotel with breakfast and dinner included.This was for two rooms, consisting of a family of 4 adults and an 8 year old. There are plenty of places in Tenerife south airport to hire a car for around £140.00 for the week, and the fuel is around 80p per litre. We opted for a cab costing 21 Euros (£14.00) for the tewnty minuite ride into Playa De Las Americas. This avoided looking for a rep, sat on a hot, stuffy coach untill everyone...

Review of Hotel Noelia Sur, Tenerife

Apartment Complex in Tenerife

Advantages: Clean and spacious apartments.
Disadvantages: Too noisy and packed around the hotel area especially around the pool.

.... I didn't like Playa d' las Americas much but the torviscas and fanabe area were lovely. Some people hire a car to get around, but to be honest if you like walking then ten minutes walk to some areas of the resort is pleasant on an nice summers' evening and afterwards we always got a taxi back to the hotel. Plenty of live entertainment everywhere. I would go back to Tenerife, but not to this particular hotel. I would prefer somewhere more quieter next time....

Review of Compostela Beach Resort, Tenerife

Tenerife..Paradise Found

Advantages: Plenty of shops, bars and restaurants near by.
Disadvantages: Can be a little noisy if you are near the Varonicas centre.

...Tenerife..Paradise Found,Well that's my opinion anyway. I believe Tenerife is one of those places, that you either love or you hate. I have heard many varied opinions from friends and family, some good and some bad. I would now like to give you my own opinion on Tenerife. Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and its's location, just off the north coast of Africa, gives it a fabulous year round climate. Tenerife is very much an Island of contrasts. In the south, which is known as the sunny side you will find the more well known resorts which include Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos, the landscape is very baron and dry. Plants mainly consist of cacti and palm trees, except around the hotels and apartments, where you will find a more varied variety of flowering plants, due to the easy access to water...

Review of Tenerife (Spain)

Tenerife - not on my short list

Advantages: Cheap car hire and petrol
Disadvantages: Unpredictable weather, expensive food, lots of time-share touts

...the local red-light district, and a mecca for prostitutes throughout the night. The hotel has been on 'Holidays from Hell' twice and I have also seen some very bad write-ups about it. The area of the resort we stayed in was compact, with a wide abundance of food restaurants of unfortunately, not brilliant quality and generally overpriced. At breakfast time, we saw food advertised at around £1.95 a head, trouble is the drinks prices were not publicised and we ended up paying around £5 each for an orange juice. We ended up eating in the pizza hut/kentucky fried chicken cafe. I had heard that Tenerife was the island of warm weather all year around, whilst we were there we had a few sandstorms, rain, a hurricane, and could not visit half the places we wanted to, as they were out of bounds and had been sealed off by the police for safety...

Review of Tenerife (Spain)

Princesa Dacil, Los Cristianos, Tenerife

Advantages: Staff, Entertainment
Disadvantages: Food

...Hotel Sol Princesa Dacil *** Los Cristianos Tenerife Just returned from a week?s stay at the hotel and can happily say that this was an excellent holiday, I flew over with my friend from Manchester with Thomas Cook, a flight which took about 4 hrs 20 mins and then only a short transfer from the airport to the hotel of about 20 minutes. I could not fault the holiday and although this is only a 3 star hotel in my opinion it should be upgraded, I have stayed in 3,4,5 star hotels and this more than met my standards. As I said it was only a short transfer and we arrived at the hotel about 15:30 and were immediately checked-in, the receptionist informed me we had been upgraded to a superior room free of charge. The Superior rooms are by far the best and are worth paying for; they are situated on the top three floors of the hotel...

Review of Sol Princesa Dacil, Tenerife

Las Dalias Hotel Costa Adeje Tenerife

Advantages: great pool area and good entertainment
Disadvantages: on a slight hill not good for people with walking difficulties

...this is by far one of the best hotels i have stayed in in tenerife, it was so good i have been three times this year, all inclusive is the best way to go with this hotel as it has so much to offer in the range of food, we have stayed all inclusive three times now and never get bored of the variety of food on offer. hotel has three swimming pools which at most times of the year are absaloutley freezing, for a couple of months between october and january one of the pools is heated but is usually filled to the brim with children. Hotel has fantastic entertainment every night for children and adults at least two shows every night and a childrens club to keep them entertained most of the day, other activities such as water polo bingo archery and riffle shooting take place around the pool during the day to keep everyone entertained. if...

Review of Iberostar Las Dalias, Tenerife

GO TO TENERIFE

Advantages: Excellent island
Disadvantages: No real beach

...Tenerife, situated in the Canary Islands, near Ibiza and in the Mediterranean. Paradise! But Tenerife hardly displays the tacky, sex driven ambience of Ibiza. Some areas of Tenerife (Las Americas)are geered towards the British Tourist with pubs, clubs, strip joints and every restaurant serving ham and chips! I am not saying that this is bad. If you want to go on holiday and then end up at home again but with a sunburn then go to Las Americas.If you want to interact with the Spanish Culture, learn a bit about about the Spanish way of Life and maybe change your philosophy on Life then steer clear of Las Americas. Tenerife is only a 3 hour flight from Luton and can cost from £38 depending which airline you take. Leaving the UK is the highlight of the flight until you reach Tenerife when you fly relatively low and can see...
