That’s not a fair comment really – it was a fabulous holiday with good friends for company in an excellent hotel in a lovely location. Neither Suzie or I had ever wanted to visit Tenerife even though we have neighbours who holiday there every year. But what a surprise, we really enjoyed it and will probably return in the future (but not every year).
Costa Adege – not as loud as Playa de las Americas, but with plenty to see and do.
Guayarmina Princess Hotel – fabulous food, excellent facilities and attentive staff.
The promenade – 8 miles almost without contact with traffic of any kind.
Car hire – low rent cars for low bucks money (Fiat Panda 32.89 euros a day)
Island attractions – Loro Parque was a full day out with loads of shows, brilliant.
We drove the island in a day including 6 hours at Loro Parque. We swam in the hotel pool, paddled in the sea, joined in hotel activities (including air rifle shooting where I top scored with 44 out of 50 from my first 5 shots, which is all you get) and we walked miles and miles.
It rained heavily the first day – staff at the hotel told us it was only the 4th time they could remember it raining like that in the last 7 years. Drinks varied a lot in price but were cheaper than Portugal earlier in the year with a pint of local beer from 98 cents along the promenade to 3.20 euros in the hotel bar.
But that was just over 2 weeks ago and it now seems like years ago as we returned to the pressures of normal life back here in the depressing and gloomy UK. Ah well, we can always go back….
