Visitors who plan to spend much of their holiday exploring the stunning landscape of this the largest Canary Island will benefit from the freedom of a hire car.

Reception can help you with all the details of arranging your own vehicle for as long as you require.

Evenings out and excursions to the neighbouring town of Playa de las Americas are just a short taxi ride away. Fares are very reasonable and drivers are more than happy to pick you up and drop you back right outside the resort.

Trips into the town of Los Cristianos could not be easier - simply hop on to the resort's own courtesy bus which runs throughout the day and evening.

For a real taste of the local culture why not explore the island using Tenerife's excellent and cheap public bus service. Timetables and route maps are available in reception or at the main bus station a few minutes' walk from the resort.
