Tenerife is the largest Island in the Canaries and is situated 17km from the Airport. The main tourist area is the vibrant Playa De Las Americas which provides luxury hotels, private villas and impressive apartments that cater to all, even those on a budget.
The resort is popular with British visitors with a variety of restaurants to choose from including typical Canarian fayre, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, fast food outlets and British restaurants offering steak and chips.
Visit the new Siam water park or try an organised whale watching boat trip, even a visit up to Mount Teide where the 1970's movie "Planet of the Apes" was filmed is a experience never to be forgotten. In addition, there is a challenging 18 hole golf course which overlooks the sea but the course is protected from the wind by a nearby mountain range which offers excellent views.
Los Cristianos is the quieter neighbour offering high standards of accommodation. The old tiny fishing village has blossomed into a cosmopolitan resort whilst still retaining much of its original character and charm. The harbour is the resorts focal point, offering boat trips and ferries to the Island of La Gomera. Cristianos continues to attract visitors that are looking for a relaxed holiday with more ambience than its more vibrant neighbour - Las Americas. Although it is low key there are numerous restuarants, cafes and bars for evening entertainment, during the day visit to the local market which sells handmade leather goods at rock bottom prices.
