Good times in Tenerife
Iv been surfing in tenerife twice before and have visited the island about 11 times now. I can safely say it is a fantastic place! The weather is constantly good (apart from the one time i as there and they had the worst storm in 40 years lol) and the water temp is warm all year round! The surf is not the best in the world but there are spots to suit all, from beginner to pro. A good company to rent boards, suits and even lessons or guides are K16. There were the original company on the island and are run by locals who are very friendly and excellent teachers! One thing about Tenerife which is quite goog in particular is that there is something for those that don't surf aswell. I normally travell with some people who do surf and some that don't so it is important to find somewhere that can cater for a normal non-surf holiday aswell. Tenerife offers that with their day excursions, bars, restuarants and nightlife.
Overall Tenerife has something for everyone and I personally would reccomend it to anyone! I would give the surf there 6.5/10 but the overall package tenerife has to offer 8.5/10!!

Tenerife
I was in Tenerife in this summer with my parents, but that was not that kind of holiday what I was want. The peaople are terrible. There was too expensive everithing, exclouding the alcohol drinks. The arrive in Tenerife was terrible! After we leave the airport the hotel is not receive us, because the plan arrived at bad time. The holtel could't
give us rooms till then we not reach the time what was discussed.We arrived at early morning at 6:30 and we wated for at 13:00. In that time we don't know that what we can do in that waiting time. We had a walk in the city. But wasn't that wery fun, because we were to tired. When finally we get the rooms we sleep 3 hours. So the first day was not ver good. The people are ineducable. When sombody is go take a holiday he want quiet, peace. But opposite from that, we couldn'T have a walk together in rest, because in all meters came people from the restaurants and from the shops to give as quotation. And when you told that you not want that, they are will be arrogant. My camera is crased and I want to buy another one. The seller was lay for me and I bought a camera, but very expensive. Very interesting that not a fixed prise! I just want take some picture, but that can do just with a machine because I can't draw perfect. We have some fun some places. Like Loro park, Dolphin watch in the sea. For that you have this funs you need to buy tickets for every places. But the ticket s prises are not fixed too. Defelxion is probably 20€ to 30€. The mentality is low. The peolple are careless with each other. There are many chinese product in the shops. You can't buy many shells and see-born things in the shops. Almost nothing in the shops from that products. The taxi is expensive and the chauffeurs are arogants. That's all about. Tenerife is really beautifull but it have many kickbacks.
Have a nice day!
