Since that article, the capacity of the airport in southern Tenerife (Reina Sofia) has expanded dramatically. Travel for Tenerife HolidaysPart of the attraction of Tenerife for holidays is the combination of its excellent all year round weather combined with a relatively short and low cost flight.

Types of Holidays in TenerifeThere is no shortage of choice of Tenerife Apartments. Accommodation for Holidays in Tenerife is generally of a high standard although for those staying in self-catering private owner's apartments it is well to make sure that you see plenty of internal pictures of the actual apartment in which you will be staying. Similarly hotels vary greatly in standard. Many of those who stay in the all inclusive hotels in Las Americas and Los Cristianos report not so much that they disappointed with the accommodation itself as that food is boring and repetitious. To be absolutely fair to Las Americas, there are some excellent hotels with the very highest standards of cuisine - the problem is rarely the hotel, it is the fact that it is located in Las Americas.

To give one example for those planning Tenerife Holidays, a two bedroom, two bathroom very large apartment on Golf del Sur equipped with a dishwasher, washer/dryer and satellite TV will cost from as little as £87 per person per week assuming a family of four or two couples sharing.
