Tenerife
In February, we decided we that enough was enough and with Winter blues lasting forever, we decided to book a last minute trip to Tenerife in the Canaries.
Tenerife is the largest and most populated island of the seven Canary Islands. It is also the most populated island of Spain, with a land area of 2,034.38 square kilometres and 898,680 inhabitants, 43 percent of the total population of the Canary Islands. Tenerife is the largest and most populous island of Macaronesia.
Top tip: Car park 5 is accessible by foot to the terminal. This will take approximately 10 minutes.
We flew with Monarch Airlines, who I have to say were very good. They were on time and the service provided by crew was great too.
Top tip: With Monarch if you book the 'Upfront Seats' they give you access to more leg room, but are not classed as exit row seats, so this enables you to sit with children here.
We had pre-booked a private car transfer to take us on arrival from Tenerife Airport to the resort of Playa Paraiso. This took approximately 30 minutes.
We arrived at the Hard Rock Hotel and were treated to a VIP check-in with a welcome cocktail, while they completed all the necessary check in requirements. Here we were told of all the amenities that were on offer at the hotel and which restaurants were open.
*During the Winter months, the hotel operate a 'Dine Around Menu'. This means that rather than opening the main buffet restaurant for evening meals, the restaurants offer a set menu for Half Board clients, or a credit amount in other restaurants.
Saying this the buffet restaurant is open for breakfast every morning and wow, it is AMAZING!!! So much choice, so fresh and all dietary requirements taken care of!**
Playa Paraiso is an up & coming area, so there is not much surrounding this in terms of cafes or restaurants. The nearest town is Costa Adeje or Playa de las Americas. A taxi ride will cost you approximately €25.00 each ways, which the hotel can arrange for you. and will take approximately 20 - 25 minutes.
All in all this was a great destination and hotel for a short Winter getaway. Great for all the family with 2 pools and a 3rd pool for adults only. Children's facilities range from a splash pad, to children's clubs, and even an entertainment centre, where you can play the drums, guitars, video games, board games, you name it, it's there for all children to use!
If you are looking for that getaway with a difference, get in touch via any of the methods below; I'll be more than happy to help!

not get a table!

Feel well & truly like a Rock 'n' Roll star, by not carrying money with you around the hotel;. All guests are given an electronic bracelet which enables you to charge everything to your room.
Why not hire a guitar to your room to jam out? Yes you can actually do this!
Top tip: setting up a secure 4 digit PIN number, means you don't have to keep signing for everything
