Tenerife resorts and the hotels in Tenerife offer such a wide variety of types and styles of accommodation that there has to be literally, something for everyone; the travel industry in one form or another has been using Tenerife resorts for over one hundred years in the North of the Island and over thirty years in the South. The climate in the Canary Islands offers warm conditions all year round, thus ensuring an uninterrupted all year round season which assists the hotels in Tenerife to retain their staff on a full time basis and not have to train new people every season. The year round good weather also helps to keep overheads in Tenerife resorts at a lower level than those resorts with a ‘summer only’ season.
The authorities governing the various Tenerife resorts have realized that a policy of continual upgrading of infrastructure, facilities and of course the hotels in Tenerife encourages existing clients to return as well as bringing in new visitors. The addition of new golf courses and the building of various marinas around the coast has created new Tenerife resorts where previously there was little but scrub and rocky ground; all of these have added to the variety of hotels in Tenerife. In addition to these new Tenerife resorts the government has been actively encouraging the renovation of old farmhouses and other interesting buildings and adapting them into ‘casas rurales’, many of the very attractive larger buildings have been turned into rural hotels, adding to the variety of available hotels in Tenerife.
Tenerife hotels range from the older simple hotel accommodation with restaurant, swimming pool and bars that offer excellent economical holiday options, often within easy reach of the beaches right through to the modern five star resort hotel complexes which offer almost every conceivable facility inside the hotel grounds. No self respecting modern Tenerife hotel would be without its gymnasium, spa facilities, beauty salon, hairdressers, masseurs, manicurists, pedicurists etc. as well as offering a range of designer shopping for those needing a little retail therapy.
The resorts in Tenerife range from the traditional sun, sea and sand, with hundreds of small bars and cafes offering ‘traditional Sunday lunch’, English breakfast and anything else the holiday maker may not want to miss while away for the two week break; there’s even English TV offering the soaps, premiership football and anything else that may entice tourists to enjoy their standard British fare while enjoying the sunshine. For the more discerning visitor there are resorts in Tenerife offering beach front accommodation but with a rather more secluded situation offering a quieter more relaxed type of holiday yet only a short taxi ride from the nightlife that is on offer all year round.
It’s not just the resorts in Tenerife that offer activities and opportunities for enjoyment and relaxation, the climate is so good that it’s possible to play golf, take advantage of the many water sports available, go paragliding, mountain biking, or simply go walking in the mountains at any time of the year with little risk of being ‘rained off’. Most hotels in Tenerife will willingly arrange excursions, green fees or activities on behalf of clients.
For those who prefer to ‘do their own thing’ there is a huge variety of Aparthotels offering self catering accommodation in Tenerife; these range from simple studio apartments sleeping two people to multi-bed roomed flats for families or groups of friends. There are also (particularly around the many golf courses) Tenerife villas for rent, these usually come with their own private swimming pool and give a touch of privacy and luxury to any holiday. For eating out in Tenerife either in the resorts or the hotels one is spoilt for choice, away from the holiday resorts in Tenerife there is a multitude of small local restaurants offering simple, wholesome food at very reasonable rates.
