I knew that , my finger got carried away with the 0000000000's

Vonnie - We usually stay in our time share. It is called The Regency Country Club in Chayofa. If you want luxury check it out. Although it is timeshare it can also be booked on an hotel basis. After seeing what they charge for 1 night I am glad I sold at my old resort and bought this one 6 years ago, the prices for this resort have more than doubled in that time. To buy two weeks there now cost more than what I paid for my house 23 years ago. It is pure luxury and more.

Dont you think the cheap prices at the moment might be partly down to the time of the year - brochures not long out, free child places, etc?

I dont think cheap deals are unique to Tenerife at the moment! Iv just booked Cyprus August 2007, A class apts, family of 4 for £1739 which I think is fantastic for Cyprus. Weve been to Spain / Spanish Islands once or twice a year for the last 6 years plus probably going again at Easter - just decided its time for a change!

We liked Tenerife well enough and while I agree some areas are a bit tatty, it depends where you are - I thought the Puerto Colon / Fanabe area was very nice.

Main thing that would put off going back is the constant hassle you get from restaurant PRs.
Also dont appreciate bars that entice you in with 1 / 1.50 euro a pint offers but charge anything up to 3 euro for a (small) soft drink. Enivitably, on a first visit it took us a while to suss out the ones that DONT rip you off.
