We chose this hotel on the recommendation of friends and did not regret it. This was our honeymoon. The hotel is on the first line, two steps to go to the ocean. They put us in a bungalow, from the balcony you could see the edge of the ocean: ))). The hotel corresponds to a solid four. Cleaned every day, the room has everything you need. Just no fridge.

Food for the top five, we took breakfast, dinner. Everything is very tasty and varied. Drinks at dinner are all paid, and you definitely need to order something. Their water is expensive, because they do not have their own water. Water without gas in the hotel costs from 3-4 euros per bottle. Beer from 4-5 euros, wine from 10-17 euros. All this can be bought in a supermarket 5 times cheaper. By the way, alcohol in their stores is cheaper than in duty free. And cosmetics too. So if you are going to stock up on good rum and cosmetics, it is better to do it in Tenerife. Delicious Canarian RON MIEL COCAL (honey rum). A liter of such a yummy costs only 9 euros in a supermarket.

Just consider the weight of your luggage. You can withdraw no more than 30 kg per person, for each kg over you will have to pay 6 euros per kg. During the week we managed to see a little.

We went on a sightseeing tour to the Teide volcano. It's very interesting and I highly recommend it. We went to the Jungle Park, you can do it yourself on a free bus. It's a 20 minute drive if you're relaxing in Playa de las americas. See a beautiful show with eagles, parrots. A bunch of different animals. We also visited Loro Parque, it is somewhat similar to a jungle park, only there are more different shows. With whales, dolphins, fur seals. The water park was a little disappointing at first. It can be reached on foot. The entrance ticket includes only the entrance. Then you pay 6 euros for the key to the locker room, 4 euros for a sunbed. Generally so-so. If you eat for a week, then you can think of a better activity. We rented a car. We traveled almost the entire island. The most important thing is to go to the golden sands in Playa de las Teresitas.
The beach in Tenerife is all dark gray sand of volcanic origin. As an entertainment program, we went to a jousting tournament. I really like it, it's my second time. First time in mainland Spain. Of course, it is clear that there are no castles on the island. This artificially made one is in no way inferior to the real one. Upon entering you are greeted by the king and princess. You are put on artificial crowns, capes of the color in which the knight will be rooting for your tribune. In general, everything is like in those days. Chowder, a whole fried chicken, wine and water will be served. Very funny. The island itself is a fairy tale! Of course, you have to go there for two weeks. The ocean water is the purest! The Spaniards themselves (i. e. Canarians, because they do not consider themselves Spaniards) are very friendly and helpful. If you decide to go to Tenerife, then choose playa de las americas. The most beautiful place on the island.

In general, the impressions were the best!

Apart from the fact that we flew with VimAvia! The flight was delayed by 14 hours. Vouchers were redeemed through the skidki-online agency. They don't give any discounts. This is a lie. They printed a booking sheet with a price from their website, phoned the manager and clarified everything. Upon arrival at the agency, it turned out that everything was wrong. The price was different! True tour operator was very good! Capital Tour! Guides are very responsible approach to their work. Guide Svetlana was always in touch with us. Helped with any questions. Huge thanks to her! I want to visit this place again and again. Yes! When buying a ticket, we specifically specified the airline we will fly to. When they found out that VimAvia, they asked to change, because on that day 4 more flights flew to Tenerife. But the manager Natalia said that there would be no problems and assured us that everything would be fine! Upon arrival at the airport, we will find out that the flight is delayed and will depart instead of 12:55, at 23:50.
They immediately called Natalya, to which she said all the claims to the airline. Later, the flight was rescheduled for 02:40 on September 22. They wrote a complaint, but nothing and no one reimbursed us. So it's better to fly with a trusted travel agency and pay a little more. How to save through skidki-online and lose days from a weekly vacation and money for a paid day!! !
