Playa de La Americas is Tenerife's answer to Benidorm on the Costa Blanca, Torremolinos on the Costa del Sol or Magaluf in Majorca.  this is the island's nightlife hotspot.  People don't come here for peace and quiet but to party the night away in one of the many clubs and discos. Primarily, Playa de las Americas is for the young. If you are looking for an area for peace and relaxation try Puerto de la Cruz, this place isn't for the fainthearted.

The most popular holidays in Playa de las Americas are without doubt the package tour including flight and hotel.  There are plenty hotels and finding one to fit the bill shouldn't be difficult.  Most hotels these days have buffets instead of set meals.  Some have an amazing array of meat and  seafood  and you can eat as much as you like.  Obviously, the more you pay for your hotel, the better the choice.  With Tenerife having a year round mild climate, winter holidays are especially popular and over Christmas many hotels are booked up.  This year may be different as the credit crunch and rising prices at home start to bite but  if you're considering going, I wouldn't leave it too late to book.  There are a number of online travel operators offering packages to Tenerife.  One of the biggest is Thomson Holidays, who as well as doing packages, also offer hotel only and flight only deals. Thomson Holidays like 99% of all the tour operators are offering some big discounts at the moment.  If you check out their Tenerife page here you can get an idea of the way prices are going.  You can bet that all the tour operators are reviewing their prices on a daily basis and although I wouldn't normally advocate leaving anything to the last minute, I have a gut feeling that this year, prices are going to tumble.  Another option for a holiday in Tenerife, is booking a self catering apartment direct from the property owners.  Over the past couple of years, this has become increasingly popular.  Don't just accept the advertised prices, be a bit cheeky and see if you can negotiate some discount.  Don't forget that the apartment owners are feeling the pinch as well, so in  many cases will be happy to accept a reduced offer.  You can find some apartments to rent on our website here.  You'll need to organise your own flight.
