Hi, haven't been to Tenerife for 20 years and hoping for advice from regulars. I'm single lady mid 50's looking for sun, swim, book & balcony holiday in November. Just had an operation and need a break now. Looking for probably just B & B quite happy to buy bits from local supermarket for some meals so ideas please for cheapie but clean and safe hotel with kitchenette/fridge - not looking for exciting night life, just rest and relaxation with a nice pool and maybe near beach to walk to (no hills). Safety of course is paramount for someone by self. Can anyone point me in right direction I really don't know which area of Tenerife to start looking at though heard South of the island will be sunnier than the north in November - will it be nice and hot in November? Any advice greatly appreciated, I have limited budget so not looking for top hotel.... thanks all

Re: Advice please

November weather is very pleasant. 20'sC during the day, shorts and T-shirts, going to the beach, swimming. Cool in the evening, a jacket or light sweater will be comfortable. Costa Adeje, often described as the posh end of Las Americas, is very nice and I recommend it. Safe, secure, quiet and peaceful with nightlife if you look for it. Although do ensure that you get accommodation on the beach side of the motorway, even there some parts are hilly but above the motorway is a real mountain climb, avoid. Check location carefully on Google maps...

Best to check out hotels around the Playa Fanabe or El Duque areas. However, don't expect a real bargain, cheapie in that area, it's the best area in Tenerife.

Re: Advice please

Would recommend Aguamarina Apartments in Golf del Sur in the south of the island. plenty of restaurants etc on your doorstep but nice apartments, lovely pool and very friendly smaller location. We have had very cheap deals using Ryanair flights and booking the apartments through either travelrepublic or lowcostholidays. Good Luck!

Re: Advice please

Agree, the Costa Adeje area is lovely and I go there whenever I can. However, it is a bit hilly leading up from the beach. The area around Parque Santiago is very nice
