About the home
The studio is furnished to a high standard and consists of a lounge/dining area, bedroom area (which can be sectioned off from the lounge by pulling across the curtain for privacy), kitchen area, and wet room with feature walk in shower. It's in an excellent location within the more up-market Port Royale complex which features a dedicated reception, a shared pool/sunbathing area and on-site Italian restaurant (handy both for intimate sit-in meals and take aways)! A number of shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants surround the complex or alternatively the resort centre of Los Cristianos and the Las Vistas beach are a 15-20 minutes stroll downhill. It is very much a home-from-home and has been decorated and furnished as such.

The Tenerife region
Best time to go: March to May (except Easter) and November are best for value in terms of flight prices. December to February is busiest and most expensive and the summer months attract a large number of Spanish tourists. But Tenerife has a good year-round climate ranging from 18C/64F in winter to 24C/75F in summer. Temperatures can soar to 30C/86F in August.
One of the joys of holidaying in Tenerife is indulging in duty-free (or low-duty) shopping, and Los Cristianos and the surrounding area boasts a multitude of shops where it is easy to spend liberally on perfumes, tobacco, electrical goods, cameras and designer clothing. Handicrafts and cultured pearls are also popular buys for souvenir hunters, but these are best sought in reputable stores rather than from seafront hawkers.
Local supermarkets stock familiar British brands, particularly the Spar in the new Passaralla Centre (5 minutes away from Port Royale) and those located in the large San Eugene Centre.
A tourist street market is held in Los Cristianos every Sunday near the Hotel Arona Gran, from approx 9.00am – 2.00pm, where most merchandise is cheap and cheerful tat, but there is fun to be had in haggling.
The Los Cristianos area
The popular resort of Los Cristianos lies in a sheltered bay in the south-west corner of the island of Tenerife, merging into the more glitzy purpose-built resort of Playa de las Americas. Los Cristianos has burgeoned into a modern package-tour resort from its origins as a sleepy Canarian fishing village, but has managed to retain some of its traditional feel, despite the plethora of modern hotels, shopping centres and apartment blocks.
The focal point of the resort is its working harbour, fronted by a square surrounded with restaurants, and sandy beaches encircling a crescent-shaped bay backed by a long, wide promenade that stretches to neighbouring Playa de las Americas – and for most, if not all visitors to the resort, it is now impossible to determine where Los Cristianos actually ends and Playa de las Americas begins! Being just a few minutes away by cheap taxi from Playa de las Americas allows holidaymakers in Los Cristianos to enjoy a more sedate stay, while still able to access the bright lights and entertainment facilities of the more boisterous neighbour, especially when it comes to nightlife.
The activities and excursions are too numerous to detail but we keep a file in the apartment which will give you a taste of what's available - Mount Tiede, the Aqualand water park and the Jungle Park are nearby and well worth a visit and the Loro Parque (Tenerife's Zoo) in Santa Cruz is amazing if you are willing to travel for an hour or two by coach to get there.

Reviews

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this studio. It is well presented with all you need to eat in if required as well as having plenty of restuarants close by if you can't be bothered to cook. The complex is nice and quiet with a lovely pool area with the bonus of not having to pay for sunbeds. The studio is well maintained and beautifully cleaned, plenty of storage area and a relaxing sofa. You can eat on the patio which does get sunshine in the afternoon. It has a full oven, microwave and washing machine pretty much like home from home. It is situated at the top of a very steep hill which we were aware of before we booked so you need to be fit to walk this every day especially if you visit the beach but you get used to it after a while or you just take it slowly. We certainly intend to make future bookings. Response: I am glad you enjoyed your stay in our apartment - thank you for the compliment. We are really very lucky to have such an abundance and assortment of quality restaurants so nearby the complex. |
