Hotels in Tenerife – Stick to the coast, the inland roads are really scary!
Tenerife’s interior is quite tough to negotiate; terrifyingly steep roads, scary hairpin bends and thousand foot cliffs. Not for the faint hearted. Most visitors tend to stick to the popular resorts of Los Cristianos and Playa de as Americas, both in the island’s south west. Resort front hotels in Tenerife tend to be large, well equipped and comfy, and the Columbus Hotel is no exception. Designed to a flamboyant Arab style, it is right in the centre of Playa de las Americas on a pretty palm lined road that leads straight to the beach. You won’t find many large hotels in Tenerife without a pool and this one’s a beauty. Plus there’s a private sunbathing area, poolside and piano bars, a lively disco and a well stocked games room.
Tenerife Accommodation – Visit Siam Park for big time water fun
Siam Park is being billed as Europe’s most spectacular water park. And what a giggle it is. Brilliant fun. The park’s wacky design is – weirdly - based on the ancient kingdom of Siam. Eccentric as it is, it’ll keep you and the family happy for days. Most Tenerife hotels are close enough to Siam Park for convenience and many have fantastic facilities. Take the Costa Adeje Gran Hotel, for example; a crazily magnificent building with a cool glass frontage, right next to Costa Adeje shopping mall. The hotel complex includes a choice of excellent restaurants and bars, from Italian food to themed buffet nights.
Tenerife Hotels – Black sand beaches and man made white sands
In their natural state Tenerife’s beaches are made up of funky black volcanic sand. But many of them have been ’improved’ using imported pale sands - the kind we’re all used to. Like all the Canary Islands Tenerife is volcanic and you can climb El Teide, the island’s main volcano, and get amazing panoramic views. Watch out though – it’s surprisingly cold up there. Hotels in Tenerife come in all shapes and sizes, and they’re not all posh. If you’re in Tenerife to party and you don’t care where you sleep try the Laguna Park II, a basic apartment complex in Costa Adeje just five minutes’ stagger from Torviscas Beach. It’s on a steep slope so you might have to take a run at it if you’re a bit worse for wear. Once you’ve made it, you’ll find your apartment simple and functional. A crash pad? That’ll do nicely.
