Where abouts in Tenerife did you go?
Where is Starco's area? and what do you mean by a PR?

Sorry if these seem obvious lol.

starco is the centre of las americas (where linekers is).
a pr is a public relation person (in other words someone who stands outside bars and tries to get you in!!)

Hi no it's not obvious.

I stayed in Las Piramedes apartments, just round the corner from all the nightlife.

The pr people stand outside and jump on you as you walk along the road trying to get you in their bars for drinks, with their "wonderful" deals. Most bars though on these deals "up" the price a bit when they say buy one get one free, cos as we found, we went into one bar and bought a drink for 4 euros, went back the next night around the same time and took advantage of the buy one get one free and then paid 5 euros for the same drink we'd had the night before. I have been before, so should of known but my mate was like "ohh go on!". :roll:

I also found that saying to the PR's that I was going to Players Lounge got them off my back really easily they'd just say "ok have a good night"!!!

I couldn't believe it, I did it to 3 PR's and it happened all 3 times. I guess it's cos they know they can't beat the 3.50 a drink (any drink).

:lol:

Oh yes, and the free shot, some of the PR's offer.
It's cheap schnapps which you can buy a litre of from any shop out there for the equivalent of about £1.50.

Hiya! Did u have a good time? I only got your personal message now! I had a wicked time! We got upgraded to the piramides instead of the cattleya wich is great because apparently it was awful there. We had a few days around the main pool but then went to the rebecca pool the rest of the time! xxxx

Hiya Jillian,

We stayed around the Starco area where theres bars like yates,edwards,players lounge,linikers,mett bar,down under. But theres some good places in veronicas wich is just beside starco.

Players lounge is the cheapest for drinks, and probs yates/linkiers being the most expensive.

And if you want to go clubbing go to tramps or rags :) Hope this helped! xxxx

whats Bobbys and Buzbys like these days? 10 year ago it was all veronicas and them 2 were the places to be. have been over 12 times - last time was Oct 05 and it seemed like Tramps was the new club and Veronicas had died a death.

imo veronicas died several years ago...... Tramps is doing well now, so is rags..... bobby's and buzby's....... well............ nah !

I think the problem with Veronicas is definitely that the locals use it more, whereas Starco's with all the "english" bars it is more for the tourists.

I know I went into Busby's a few years ago on a Friday and due to it being change over day for more tourists, so there was fewer of them around, it was VERY locally spanish orientated in there.

Personally my perfect night out is:

Few drinks in apartments before going out. (Smirnoff Ice's, WKD's, Bacardi Breezers etc are all around £1 from the bigger supermarkets, and spirits are so cheap anyway it doesn't really matter if you wish to buy them to drink in the apartment either)

Out to Player's Lounge for a few drinks around 11 pm (All drinks 3.50 euros, you can't really beat it anywhere)

Then popping over to Linekars around 12:30 am. (The atmosphere in Linekars is hard to beat anywhere! Dancing on the chairs, tables, doing the Jungle song, and feeding the ****ing pigeons)

When linekars closes around 4 am if we have loads of energy left going round to Tramps (But imho only go here if you know you don't want to buy anymore drinks, or if you are rich. After a certain time of night drinks go up to 7 euros each at Tramps!!!!)

And there we have it my night out guide for Tenerife!

Have to agree with this, it's probably the worst part of the south coast, if not the island. I was really hoping they would bulldoze it and put something useful in it's place.
