Home description
A one bed apartment decorated with white washed walls, white kitchen and neutral colours. Ideally situated away from any roads and near the pedestrianised walk-way which leads to Las Vistas beach - just a few minutes walk away. Check the Map on this site (aerial version to zoom in and see the area in detail).
The lounge has an 'American style' open kitchen, breakfast bar and two stools. The lounge area has double sofa-bed, coffee tables and opens out to the terrace. The apartment is equipped for long stay guests (microwave/combination oven) plenty of storage, TV (for Spanish TV only, videos and DVDs), CD and radio, full size ironing board and steam iron and a safe. The bathroom has a shower over the bath, WC, bidet and mirror with shaving points. An apartment manager is local to the apartment should you have any problems.
Within a few minutes walk of the apartment are Las Vistas Beach, Las Americas Plaza shops, Pyramide de Arona theatre/opera house, bistros and diving school. 5-10 minute stroll to Los Cristianos Banks, Cultural Centre, older style restaurants and shops, harbour (for ferry to La Gomera) and the beach volley ball competitions which take place during the Summer. 10-15 minutes stroll to Las Americas where the 18-30 style bars of the 80s and 90s are making way for restaurants, bistros and shops.
A large, air conditioned supermarket (similar to Waitrose) selling fresh fish, meat and vegetables along with the usual groceries is within 1 minute of apartment (no roads to cross). The immediate area is wheelchair and buggy friendly with lots of pedestrianised walkways stretching several miles from Los Cristianos to Del Duque.
The apartment is handy for popping back from the beach when it gets too hot. The pool rarely has more than 5-10 people around it and this lends to a peaceful atmosphere.
The villages and other Tenerife coastal towns are worth viewing and a car may be required. Alternatively the bus/coach service is excellent and leave from bus stops a few minutes from the apartment.

The Tenerife region
The apartment is on El Cardon which is accessed via a road on one side and on the other side, a pedestrianised walk-way to the supermarket, beaches, restaurants, shops and opera/theatre.
The year-round weather in Tenerife is usually 22-29 degrees and makes it perfect for all ages. It is also warm enough for sunbathing and swimming at Christmas time. The many beaches can be enjoyed by those wishing to just stroll along admiring the view or those more energetic looking for exciting water sports and surfing.
Restaurants have locally caught fish and serve local wines along with the usual Brands. For those wishing to explore different national dishes, there are plenty to choose from. Exploring the island is easy. Motorways provide quick access to the other coastlines for those with a car. The bus service is very good and there are also a number of excursions to the various places of interest.
Los Cristianos / Arona area
The days of clubbers and 18-30 clubs are over. Now the area is more popular with couples and families wanting to enjoy the good weather, beaches and lovely shops and restaurants. Whale and dolphin boat trips, deep sea fishing, parascending, climbing, walking, horse riding, kite surfing, surfing are all within a short distance of the apartment and Los Cristianos/Las Americas. There is a 'water splash' park for the children and the new Siam Park opened in September 2008 (described as the largest water theme park in Europe). It will have to be a 'must do' for those with children or a spirit of adventure !
There are many festivals throughout the year including those similar to Rio de Janeiro, music and art festivals can all be found. Just type in 'Tenerife Festivals' into Google and see what delights you can find. No longer is this the place for 18-30 holidays of the 80s and 90s.
El Medano Kite-surfing and wind-surfing are just 20 minutes by car/50 minutes by bus. Surfing is also possible just off Las Vistas Beach. All taxi drivers know of El Cardon and it is usually only the equivalent of a few euros to go out in the evenings into the villages or across to the busier area of Las Americas.
