Santa Cruz de Tenerife Travel Forum

Hi everyone

Can anyone tell me the best location and hotels on Tenerife. Looking for 5 star or good four star. Would also like good resteraunts and lively but not over the top bars. Plan to go in January/ February, what is the weather like then and are the resotrts still active.

Thanks for all information.

Are you planning on the North or the South? If you prefer more local but still lively and with good restaurants then you would be better off with the North. Like Puerto de la Cruz which is my favourite. I would suggest you decide which end of the Island you would prefer first before you decide on the hotel. They are very different from each other and cater to different tastes. The weather is generally good at that time of the year and both ends are lively in their own ways. Putting it bluntly - the South seems to cater for " English bar " lovers and the North is more sophiticated. This is only my opinion and I have lots of friends who go to the South and love it. Its just not my cup of tea.
Hope you enjoy it.
