Holiday Break to Tenerife

In April this year, my mother, my aunt and I headed to Tenerife to the hotel La Arena in the resort of Los Gigantos for a nice relaxing holiday. We have been to Tenerife 4 times before for some sunshine in our winter months.

We arrived at Tenerife airport and our taxi took us to our hotel which was only a 35 minute transfer.

When we arrived at the hotel we were met at the door and our bags were taken from us while we checked in. Perfect! The first night we just relaxed and enjoyed dinner.

On our first day we decided to treat ourselves and enquired about a spa centre, and were pleasantly surprised that there was one attached to the hotel - we immediately booked ourselves in for massages.

On the second day we got a taxi to Playa de las Americas which is the largest resort on the island, to visit the markets and indulge in some shopping. It took us about 15mins in a taxi and cost us 20 euros. This resort was a lot bigger than where we were staying and got quite busy in evening time.

For the remaining time of our holiday we went for a stroll every morning around our resort, which had some nice small shops and bars, and we just relaxed by the pool in the afternoon.

Unfortunately the 5 night break was too short and over far too quickly as both the resort and hotel were perfect. We had a fantastic time and will definitely return again.
