Isla de Tenerife Travel Forum

1. I ve read somewhere that the beast beach in the las Americas - los Cristianos area is Playa de las vistas. Do you agree?

2. Have you got any idea when Siam Park is opening?

3. Someone mentioned hot air balloon rides over the los cristianos/ las americas resort? Where are these found? Is it a worthwhile experience?

4. I need to know where to get info about activities during d day in the area of Puerto de los cristianos- dolphin and whale watching trips to la ,gomera island ,... SO that i can check time table and see whether advanced booking is necessary.

5. I ve heard of a medieval show in Castillo de San Miguel. Is it good? Is it really necessary to book beforehand?

6. we will be staying in tenerife for 7 nights. i thought we could spend 5 nights in playa de las americas and move north for the last 2 days - is it a good idea? what places of interest must i not miss in the northern areas of tenerife? is it better to rent a car for moving north?

7. we will be using the TFN airport. Which means of transport is better to use to get to our hotel in playa de las americas?

8. I havent booked hotel yet. i ve loooked at the Playa de las americas maps on eurosol.com and i ve chosen map 3. which hotel would you recommend so that we ll be close to all the activities, yet it would be a good hotel, bed and breakfast, with a lovely pool area, not so expensive. (we re 30 yrs. old and we will have a 1 yr old girl and an 8 yr old boy with us. )

If you can answer one / some / all of my questions, it would be appreciated. probably there's still more questions to come ... :p

Hello Lubama

Thank you for the time to answer my question and for the sites you ve listed for me. I appreciate it. I ve just checked them out.

Hi,
4. You can book these at the port itself, people will start talking to you. You can also do these from Los Gigantes at a bit smaller scale.
6. North is a lot of fun, a lot less tourists and more spanish. I love Los Gigantes.
7. I took the bus, takes about 1 hour. The bus is called titsa, schedules are on the internet.
8. You could also stay at costa adeje, which is next to playa de las americas and los cristianos, bnut prices are a bit lower.
Have fun!

you're welcome, mymaya.

Hi Did....
Yes the titsa site is helpful. And i will try to include Los Gigantes. Thank you for your help

Hi, we have been to Tenerife many times and always stay in Puerto in the north. We always trave by bus from the airport. The service is very good, and cheap. With a BONO card the fare is half price at only €5. The north of the island is lovely, do spend some time in Puerto, it is a lovely old town with some lovely squares. many shops and places to sit and eat or drink and watch the world go by. Next time you may want to stay there. The bus service is a very good way of getting around. Take care in the sun, even in winter with cloud cover you and the children will burn within a few hours. Enjoy.
