Siam Park is the best water park I've ever been to. Worth going for the lazy river alone.

El Teide (the volcano) is worth a day trip. At 3 times the height of Ben Nevis the views are spectacular. The landscape is also out of this world with a few science fiction films having been filmed there.
If you're a golfer then Buena vista golf club is a must. A lovely wee course set on the rugged cliffs to the north west.
From Los Christianos you can take a 2 hrs whale spotting trip on a speed boat, even if you don't spot any whales they take a half hour break in crystal clear deep water where you can swim from the boat in a secluded bay surrounded by the huge cliffs.
Be brave and try the local seafood. Fried octopus and squid is out of this world. You can get it either in form of a main course but I prefer it as part of a tapas menu together with other delicacies. Once you've tried it fish n chips will never be the same.
Take a bit of money for clothes shopping too. Tenerife is a tax free haven and there's some good bargains to be had, better still take an empty suitcase.
I was there twice last year and 3 times the year before.
You'll love it, especially if you can enjoy the local highlights and stay away from the tourist traps.Last edited by Hibrandenburg; 14-05-2017 at 12:16 PM.

I've always fancied giving Tenerife another go but I'm a bit wary.
Went to Los Christianos a few years back (2006ish I think) and it was just a massive building site at the time. Cranes everywhere, a constant dust in the air and noise all the time. One of the locals told us there was over 25 developments on the go at the time. We were young and ventured into Las Americas a few times which was just full of chavs, prostitutes and guys trying to con you.
Given how popular it is I'm guessing there must be loads of nicer, quieter places but I've never been willing to risk it based on experience and the thought of wasting a lot of money to have a crap time.

The area I always go to is mari nostrum resort group of hotels including Mediterranean palace ..cleopatra palace that area is the best ..
If you don't like hotels there is loads of self catering apartments one to look at for being close to beach and for night time is Visatasur( right on the beach ) If u don't like the beach not for you.
Look at sunprime coral beach apart hotel both of these always get great reviews.

I would advise using the safe in your hotel room if there is one. I had my Apple Watch and two pairs of trainers stolen from our room last year, and from speaking to a few people in the police station, and people who had been before, it seems quite common. As long as you don't leave anything valuable lying around then you should be fine.

I just got back from there on Sunday, having been over for the second time in 6 months.
I absolutely love the place.
It's quite hard to recommend anything without knowing what you're into - one resort runs into another which runs into another, meaning there is something for just about everyone there.
I've been on lads holidays there 20 years ago and it did the job for me, I've now been on a few quiet couples holidays and it's done likewise.
I like La Caleta, a wee fishing village with about 10 restaurants. You can walk to it along the waterfront if you head away from Las Americas. It won't be your thing if you don't like seafood or if you're looking for a riotous nightlife but we like getting an outdoors table at any of the restaurants along there. There's also a brilliant beach bar on the front as you walk along the seafront from the Adeje area towards La Caleta (just looked it up on google maps - it's called C'queluche beach bar). Lovely place to have a few beers/ cocktails watching the Sun set.

Great wee pit stop bar just down from the Isabel Hotel. Ran by a woman from Clydebank married to a Spanish guy. Decent beer and good craik.
