Hmm indeed
Well here we go again, I expect it will be fairly basic at this price but as you are on a budget it was the cheapest I could find.

Tenerife - SC Jan.22nd for 7 nights ( similar price all week) Laguna Park 11 approx. £155 total for accommodation with "Monarch" hotels. Loads of others but that was the cheapest. The price changes whilst loading so it should come up after a couple of seconds.

Can't comment on Tenerife but Puerto Mogan on GC is one of the nicest places! (not far away from P Rico)
You could always rent an apartment off the net, hire a car & see a bit of the island which is amazingly interesting once you get off the beaten track.

Caz - im so sorry to miver you again . I actually chose that apartment when i was browsing lowcostholidays last night. It seems ok for the price, but there are a couple of not so good reviews.

To be honest, im not too bothered that the beds arent very comfy, or that there isnt enough hot water after 30 mins of using the shower in the evening. As long as the bed has a mattress, and we get at least 2mins each in the shower then that will be fine for us.
After all, you get what you pay for! Ive stayed in quite a few 1star and 2 star hotels in Goa, and these werent bad, so im presuming Tenerife will be as good, or better accomodation.
Ive heard its on top of a hill, but this doesnt worry me, i need to shift a few pounds anyway, and it might tire my son out because he seems to have bags of energy at the moment.
Thanks for looking for me, and i think i may end up booking with monarch hotels as its the same price as lowcostholidays.

toastedmallow - thanks very much the gran canaria apartments seem to be a bit pricey, so i will have to look into it for next summer.
