Second trip to Playa las Americas with my parents, stayed at the H10 Oasis Moreque - great value, bar next door with super music entertainment - parents elderly and everything they could want for. Flat, easy to walk super. Hotel staff friendly, clean and great value for money, going again next Feb.

We loved Costa Adeje. - Dawn, Jimmy, Craig, Claire and Dean. Date of travel: Aug 2008
We were in the Costa Adeje part of Las Americas. We went into the centre to Veronica Strip a couple of times but it was all geared towards the really young ones and the PR’s were always in your face so we were pleased we were situated in Costa Adeje. We were near the shops, bars, restaurants and Aqualand. We walked to from our apartments and it only took about 15 minutes. St Eugeines, The Temple and O’Reillys Irish Bar are all only a few minutes walk. Kick, the live band that play at O’ Reillys every night from 12.30am to 4am are brilliant and they have a lot of laughs with each other and the audience. We ended up there at the end of very night.

Playa de las Americas is a beautiful place, very clean and full of friendly people.

Playa de las Amercas - Jeff and Sandra. Date of travel: Jan 2008
Playa de las Americas was clean and we enjoyed our stay. The hotel ( Best Tenerife ) was reasonable, though the room had some signs of wear and tear.

Lovely resort - Sue and Andrew. Date of travel: Jan 2008
Playa de las Americas has lots to do for all ages, weather wonderful, very good public transport able to travel all over the the island easily. Plenty of trips available.

I thought it was ok - Cathy. Date of travel: Oct 2007
Best places to eat in Playa de las Americas were Oscars and the Chinese beside the above apartments. Would not recommend Le Karinas as the food was cold and I'm still waiting for my cocktail. Temple Bar, The Dubliner, Oscars and Leonadors were good and Linikers if you were 18.The pub called Shinanigans in the patch I would not enter it again if I was paid, as myself and my two friends were picked on the minute we walked in by a band called Looney Tunes. When they found out we were Irish the names we were called are not repeatable. So bad when we left we were clapped out the door. Other than that the resort is ok.

i loved it - Ashleigh. Date of travel: Oct 2007
Me and my sister went to Playa de las Americas last month for my first time and my sister's second time. It was brillant, words couldn't even describe the nightlife. I loved Bobby's, there was a seriosly hot Romanian guy there!! But food, shopping, beaches, everything, you couldn't go wrong going there. We went on Mount Teide, was fantisic. You can see all the other islands on a clear day up there!!

Costa Adeje is not Las Americas! - Alen Mcerlean. Date of travel: Oct 2007
Go see the volcano, the whales, Los Christianos. Walk down to the Castle from the Costa Adeje Hotel. Enjoy Santos the hotel entertainer and the hotel facilities also. There's an underground supermarket and strip mall next to the hotel also. Taxis are affordable but get the driver to write the price of the fare on a piece of paper, that way there's no misunderstanding. I would avoid Las Americas but as I mentioned the hotel is not there anyway.

Playa de las Americas PARTY ON - Lara-May Gratton. Date of travel: Aug 2007
There are many restaurants around and they are all brilliant, Top Bar which is just outside the apartments which is one of the cheapest restaurants out there. If going out to get drunk, drink up at one of these bars first as your drinks are around €2 -€4, where as drinks at bars and night clubs are €5 - €9 and can be more. There are many PRs out there and they are asking you to go in for drinks as they get commission. Go to Bonkers bar and ask for Tot. He is amazing. But if you do go out and do all then save all the tickets that you get for a free drink and save them all for the last night as that is when you are most likely not to have any money. Really good holiday, go to Loral Park, amazing dolphin and whale show, but see the sealion show first otherwise you will be very disappointed as the others are so amazing. Also go and see the penguins in the amazing home (the floor moves) there is loads to do, scoober diving, jet skiing, banana boat, booze cruise, loads, endless things to do. Go to Linikers, there is a blonde-haired barman there. Young but very hot, and DJ Pauler awesome. Top stuff. Bad point - need a new liver and kidneys and need entertainment around the pool. Got a bit boring after a while, but really good, oh and when going out don't go out till bout 23h30 and get drunk. It's dead otherwise. Been out at 8 and no one around at all. Go for dinner then go back to room and then get ready and go out, but drink all the time, otherwise things just are not funny. Have a really good holiday!

Loved it! - Amber. Date of travel: Aug 2007
So so good. Shopping and nightlife great, don't like the beaches though. I would rather make my own beach with a paddling pool full of sand, leave the cold tap on and brag a mouth full of salt.

Playa Las Americas is AMAZING!! - Claire and Donna. Date of travel: Aug 2007
Playa Las Americas is best place EVER!!! Seriously go there! Also try out Bobby's Bar!!!

I loved Playa de las Americas - Ciara. Date of travel: Jun 2007
Nightlife is next to none! Brill! Can't go wrong if you head 2 Veronicas strip... although we started off most nights at the Full Monty Karaoke bar with the fab Andy P and 6ft 5 Biba (our very own Bob Marley!!) Great crack! All in all, would recommend it! Great for all ages!

Playa de las Americas, San Eugeneo and Adeje - Shel and Gaz. Date of travel: Jan 2007
Visit St Euegens--Mike Carlton the VV best - The Rum Pot, the Scotch Corber great value, tasty home cooked meals, very cheap and loads of sports on for the fellas. I love Tenerife. My mother-in-law lives there and I have now been 4 times, I will be moving there cos it's ace! The best pace on Earth - go to Puerto Colon and see the sports factory, very friendly people and the slow boat Chinese down there. Don't forget the Toby Jug, good old British home from home pub around the back of the Aqua Park. A must is the Dolphin show - very good. Slides great! Watch out for your fella on the white one cos it smashes them in the crotch. Back again 1 week today. Cannot wait!

Playa de las Americas - Anon. Date of travel: Nov 2006
While away I was attacked at the Tramps club totally unasked for by a drunk woman. Security at this club then man handled me - a 19 year old young girl while I was blacked out and another security guard then tried to push me down a flight of stairs. I suffered a concusion, bruises, scratches cigarette burns and shock. I got no help from the police they don't want to know. While on holiday I met another two young girls who had also been attacked at the same club also by security. My advice never go to TRAMPS as that is exactly the trye of clientel who go there! The security will hit innocent women and nobody will help you! I wont be going back ever again.

Playa de las Americas - Lee. Date of travel: Jul 2006
The best holiday Ive had. There were 8 of us all aged 19. We had the best time eva. The night life is wicked - you gota go to Tramps, best club on the island. Lisa Lashes is there every monday nite. Hotel was good - Compostella beach. Met a load of Essex girls they were quality. Edwards, Yates, and Linekers are the bars to go to start off and then to Tramps about 2.00. Cant tell you much about the day cuz i was in bed. The water park was crap though.

Costa Adeje - Derek & Lynette Davies. Date of travel: May 2006
Go to far end of Las Americas, Costa Adeje, if youre over 30, loads of cabaret bars etc with great entertainment, most have 3 acts on per night and visit St Eugenes bar, across the road from Irish Fiddler, it has the best compere in Tenerife "Mike Carlton" very few touts or PR's to bother you in this area, Irish bars also, 3 in close proximity, Harleys American Cocktail bar is must to visit also, this area caters mostly for families and couples, been going to Tenerife for over 20 years, great people and entertainment if you know where to go, this is all away from Veronicas strip hassle. Going again 19-11-2006

Los Americas, watch out again for Foto Expert,con merchants - Erica Smith. Date of travel: Apr 2006
Foto Expert camera shop in Las Americas also conned us. Bought a lovely Samsung mini digital Camcorder: they put it in free camera bag and kept the box and when we got back to England and converted things onto DVD found the camera faulty and also not the model we had looked at. It was only optical by 10 and not 20 as we had been shown. Obviously had swapped cameras over when putting it in the free camera bag. Spoke with Samsung customer care centre who refused to do anything because on the credit card reciept given it did not have any information saying what the item bought was and said we could have bought anything. Great customer service, not!!! So be warned, get a receipt stating the product bought and stamped properly with shop guarantee and also check fully before you leave the shop exactly what you have bought and that it works. Another scam is that some shops take out accessories supplied with goods and then try and sell them seperately back to you. On the whole a great holiday, weather very hot. Super Tour Operator: First Choice

Beware of the camera cons - Nigel Hanson. Date of travel: Apr 2006
Foto expert is the one to avoid: these guys are good. I bought a camera but when I got back to the appartments, it was not the one I bought. The receipt had vanished too, then you try to get your money back or just what you bought, no chance. The manager called me English scum, no receipt so the police wont help and they know this, so beware and have a nice time. Tour Operator: My travel

I found Tenerife to be a beautiful island, but Playa de Las Americas to be awful. The food was rubbish; the night life was only good for people into rap and drug music. Anyone that goes there be sure you go with people you trust and you know you will have a good time with because to enjoy yourself you will need to make your own fun. Unfortunately for me I went with awful people, so not only was the holiday brutal the company was too. I ended up leaving a week early which cost me more expense on top of all the money I had to pay to go the Godforsaken area. It was a joy to get home. Tour Operator: First Choice

Loads to do. Go to Legends - they have a good karaoke, and some great turn ons, it's not far from the hotel.

Lovely in November - Maureen Walker. Date of travel: Nov 2005
Had a great holiday in Playa de las America; it was lovely to sit on the beach in November, night life was good too. Apartment was 5 minutes from the beach, but did have a number of steps so if you have trouble with your legs I would not advise you to go to the Accienda apartments. Tour Operator: First Choice

Shoping in Playa de las Americas - John Greer. Date of travel: Oct 2005
We enjoyed Playa de las Americas, but be warned if buying anything electrical; nothing is as decribed in most of the electrical shops and when they say 300euros the true value might be about 30. I was caught out this way, as I bought a wide angle lens, having got it reduced from 350 euros to 150 euros I thought I had a bargin but having checked it at home it is worth about 30 euros and sold under many diferent names. I have checked out the true price of many of the items and found out that most of the electrical shops are selling well overpriced junk. The shop I bought my wide angle lens from is below Katy O Shays Irish Pub. Tour Operator: Falcon

We had a great Holiday marred by this Con. I must warn all Holidaymakers. We went to an Electrical retailer Kudos. I picked two MP3 players for my Grand-children and decided on a good video camera for my Sons' Christmas. I paid by credit card and punched in my four digits, not having my glasses on I could just make out the amount 545. When I got back to the UK and received my statement, I was charged Sterling pounds not Euros. At around £200 a costly lesson not to trust shopkeepers in Tenerife. It spoilt the Holiday.

Real Playas - sandman. Date of travel: Oct 2005
Don't be fooled - the veronicas are a war zone waiting to happen filled with happy men, prostitutes & sly thieves & muggers on every corner watchin & waitin for vulnerable drunken prey. Get yourselves to yesteryears next to Dolce Vita strip club - no happy's, very few crooks, great night all rounder or round by the aqua park. The strip of bars down there topper after 9. 1 more thing, go to the zoo in the mountain las aguillas.

Helen Mcphail. Date of travel: Aug 2005
Good, although not much entertainment for kids. Excellent day trips, but to go on a few you'd need a lot of spending money. Some parts are beautiful, mainly the parts around the beach. As you get further towards Veronica's strip the resort and hotels get scruffier. Nightlife is excellent, with a range of bars and offers. I would definitely recommend 'TRAMPS' as the local hot spot, it's great. Overall a great place to go if you are a party-goer, but not so good if you've got kids. Expect to get hassled every where you go, for things including fake jewellery and watches, restaurants, and hair braiding. Thousands of cockroaches! Tour Operator: Thomson

We went to Las Americas with another couple and found it was very seedy with women on the sidewalks etc. Our hotel, Neptuno was nice, but maids were very rude. The weather was not good for most of the holiday. The best pubs to go to are the Dubliner (on the Patch): great music and brill buzz. And also the Temple Bar, and a lovely place to eat is Bentleys, in front of the beach. Don't go to any Chinese restaurants which offer all you can eat for 5 euro, unless you want to spend your holiday on the loo. Tour Operator: Budget Travel

As my friend and I went in peak season, we discovered that this hotel was great for families!!! They cater HB and SC!! Pool area was great but unless you are down by the pool by 9am you won't get a sun bed, they are covered with towels and stay like that till 2pm!!! Apartments themselves are gorg!! 5 mins walk to the beach and about 20 min walk to Veronicas, but the taxis are cheap enough anyway!! I had a fab time and look forward to returning to Tenerife, but would like to try somewhere else!! Tour Operator: Airtours

We would go back again. - Sue and Clive Allen. Date of travel: Jun 2005
We had two weeks staying at Laguna Park 1, and really enjoyed it. We went self catering and there were plenty of places to eat nearby. We liked The Ship next door to Laguna Park 1. The hotel itself we were happy with. Room was fine, had balcony with pool and sea view, staff very friendly. Going out in Playa de las Americas in the evening was great. Plenty of places to eat drink, party or whatever. Daytime good. The beaches are nice, and you can go to waterpark, Loro park, visit Mount Tiede plus many more trips if you wanted to. We would go back again. Tour Operator: Direct Holidays

My mum, daughter, and myself stopped at the Jacaranda hotel in the Playa Fanabe area of Playa de las Americas. Although huge, the hotel was fantastic, great facilities, food and entertainment. The pool area would get a little crowded, so you needed to be down early to get a bed. Playa de las Americas itself is very clean, with loads to do for all ages. The dolphin trip is a must and the neighbouring island of Gomera is well worth a visit. We were so impressed with this part of Tenerife, that we are planning a return visit in the future.

Loved our holiday in Tenerife, every one was soo nice and helpfull and the staff at Laguna Park were all very nice and chatty. Veronicas strip is great: we loved Waikiki, Bobbys, Busbys, Sound of Cream, Crows Nest and the rest. Everyone we met treated us great and for the fellas phwaa they're all gorgeous and everyones up for a laugh. We're going again in May this year and I can't wait, I had such a good time last time we know were gonna have an even better time this time. Tour Operator: My Travel

Excellent accommodation. In one week stayed in a hotel which was horrible, the week after moved in to a hotel near to the town Los Americas and it was like the holiday had started all over again. Excellent weather apart from the last couple of days, but otherwise fantastic. Definitely going again.

Me and my wife went to Tenerife on our honeymoon we have both been before and we love it. Food everywhere was good and we reccomend Tuscanys Italian next to The Patch. However watch out for the Russians; everyone thinks the Danes or Germans are ignorant however these Ruskis are the most ignorant race I've ever met. p.s Ive not mentioned the night life the Patch was good but too cramped for kids, nightmare. And my kids screamed the place down when they seen the lucky men.......... Tour Operator: Med hotels
