Playa de Las Americas is the most popular of Tenerife holiday areas.
With beach, shopping, dining, entertainment and tours on tap, many
holiday makers simply never feel the need to look beyond the boundary
of Las Americas.
The choice of accommodation is superb with every budget
and preference catered for. Those who appreciate their independance
can select a self-catering
holiday, free to eat when and where the
mood strikes. (Also free to do their own dishes of course).
Others
prefer to have all the luxuries to hand. Busy mums may not find
the idea of catering to their family quite so appealing during their
annual get-away. Herding the kids down to a breakfast buffet and
having
someone
else do the clearing up means Mum gets to enjoy the holiday too.
So for busy mums and dads who are looking forward to a little pampering
during the summer holidays, here's a little rundown of what to
expect from the hotels in and around Las Americas.
Mare Nostrum Resort
*****
Actually a group of 5 star luxury hotels, the Mare Nostrum
Resort includes
the Cleopatra Palace, Marco Antonio and Julio Caesar. Each
of of the luxury hotels offer quality air-conditioned rooms, spacious
balconies
and access to 12 fabulous restaurants as well as the combined
health, beauty shopping and entertainment facilities of the group.

Hotel Bitacora ****
This fine hotel is suitable for couples or families. It is
set in
mature
gardens
only 350 metres from the beach and close to both shopping
and entertainment. The Bitacora itself offers a wide range of
organised activities and
the kids' will love the swimming pools and water chute.
Accommodation is offered on a half board basis.

Hotel Noelia Sur ****
This is another
excellent choice
for families with good quality accommodation situated
close to the main promenade but outwith the more rowdy side of
Las Americas. There
is a heated swimming pool (not that you will be needing
that in the middle of a hot, Tenerife summer) and a kid's club
as
well
as mini-golf
to keep the nippers entertained. The breakfast
buffet and
food
in general gets good reviews at this hotel and as the
hotel itself was
recently refurbished you can be confident that the
rooms are fresh and modern.
