What a glorious sunny week we had too.
26-27 degrees most of the week with one glorious day at 29 degrees.
It was bright blue skies most mornings with only a scattering of clouds coming over in the afternoon.
Be wary when it is cloudy though as we went on a boat trip and it was really overcast this particular afternoon, and yet we still burned, even with wearing sun cream.
Plenty of nice places to eat, and all so cheap.
I went away with 540 euros and I have come back with 70. That includes me paying 90 euros for 2 excursions we did aswell, and we went out every night drinking (bearing in mind we did drink beforehand in the apartment too and I generally only took about 30 euros out a night to stop me spending anymore!!) and ate out most days twice a day. My most expensive meal was a chinese which I paid my half of 20 euros for.
I also bought some perfume, cigars and ciggarettes, and we got taxi's quite a lot too.
Then again my friend took 650 euros out with her and had none left by the time she got back, so just be a bit careful and it is really manageable to keep it low cost, I think I probably spent only £300, and still had a great time on that.
For cheap drinks I really recommend going to the family bars that have their deals on pint of vodka and red bull for 3.50 etc, that are scattered all over, or if you are going to Starco's area, Players Lounge, all drinks are 3.50, or you can get 2 for 6 with a PR (and the barstaff one night let us have 2 for 6 all night), I know this may only be like a euro less than other places, but all those euros soon add up each drink you get!
Where abouts in Tenerife did you go?
a pr is a public relation person (in other words someone who stands outside bars and tries to get you in!!)
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!".
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).
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
Heya... sounds lik you had a fab holiday! was wondering could you advise us of any good bars and clubs?? me and the boyf are goin mid july, we're both 19 and really wana let loose in uni all through the summer so have to make it worth while thanks... 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 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!
just back from my 1st vist to plda and i have to say that veronica's area is awful

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.
Just wondering is ther any irish pubs in playas las Americas. thanks
