Advantages: Plenty for the young and old alike very hot

Disadvantages: Shop owners are a bit pushy

We went on a family holiday to Playa Del Ingles about 5 years ago. We went in October and boy was it hot between 35 and 38deg. Its some of the hottest weather i have ever encountered.

We were a short taxi ride from the beach and it was so cheap that there was no problem just jumping in a taxi to go any where.

The locals were very freindly the only problem we had was people touting for business trying to get you into restaurants and shops, this was the only thing i disliked about the island.

We were in self catering appartments and ate out every night, local restaurants were good and there was a big variation in prices so you could eat cheaply if you wanted to.

The beaches were lovely and clean with plenty of water sports to get invollved with if you wanted to.

Its the first holiday ive been on where we went on organised trips eg boat trip to see dolphins and a camel trip over the sand dunes. Both were excellent and quite reasnable in price.

Its a very dry island and we had a great time I would defenately go back.

Summary: Great family holiday
