Advantages: Quick and Cheap getaway

Disadvantages: Nothing much to do if the weathers not brilliant!

Tenerife is an all round destination ideal in my opinion for younger couples and couples with young childrens.

I liked Tenerife, but I feel the weather had a lot to do with this decision. Myself and my partner went in December 2008 and the weather was good for this time of year, mostly sunny!
Tenerife as a resort is ok, there is stuff to do for a week or so, dependent of course on where you stay.

We stayed in the Laguna Park hotel in Costa Adeje, which we found suitable for a week (in okish weather) but to be honest without the sun there just doesnt seem that much to do without leaving your resort of course.

The transportation links and routes are good and cheap. You could catch a bus for 1,50 euro which would take to you a whole different location for you to explore. As with most holiday destinations though there is crime, street sellers, BUT no apparent time share people (unless I missed them).

In the day time Tenerife seems a bit quiet, but it seems to get a bit more lively as night falls. There are a lot of English or Irish bars to visit, but there are also a selction of traditional Spanish restaurants which of course are nice to visit if you want a taste of Spain.

On the whole Tenerife is a nice place to visit, and I would recommend it for a week/short break, however I do think that if you go for any longer than this and the weather is not brilliant then you will be struggling to fill your days up.

Summary: A good place to visit if you want a little break or quick getaway,
