The Aqua park is amaze balls! Think it's called Siam Park.
I would definitely go for the fast passes if you choose a busy day of the week.
Oh and there was a monkey zoo. It's great, the animals are really well treated and very friendly. You will get some amazing photos with them.

Do at least a day to La Gomera from south west Tenerife.
Siam Park is awesome, I'd happily spend more than one day there. We went on the boat trip and saw whales and dolphins which was cool as well, I want to go to up to Mt. Teide next time too. Oh and the food at Hardrock Cafe is awesome.

Mt. Tiede is ok, but takes ages to get there,and when its hot down on the shore it can be a bit of a let down, as its freezing up there,
random fact, the original Planet of the Apes was filmed up there, and when you see it, you will recognize it straight away.

I went two years back.
Taxis are crazy just like any other country really. As said above Siam park is amazing. We never got the free bus we paid for a taxi it was maybe about 8 euros from where we stayed (gran oasis resort) and it meant we beat the buses so the first hour or two the park was empty so we went on everything Atleast once before the masses turned up. Got stupidly busy just after lunch but as we had been there since opening we didn't feel in a rush to queue for everything. So if highly advises just getting a taxi there for when it opens.
Also the monkey park was good all the animals were great. And there's another big zoo place we never went but it's meant to be good fun.
Obviously like any European country that offers all inclusive resorts and being Tenerife it was very heavily populated with Brits ( a lot of chavs too but I never had an issue in fact me and the gf mwt a nice family from Dagenham believe it or not haha)
We never really went out out but I've got some friends out there right now that say it's great.

Siam and Lorro Parque are both run by the same company. Both are great for different reasons, extremely well presented and spotlessly clean. My son was part of the dolphin show in Lorro Parque!

^ So am I. Been times but never to Siam so might give that a go this time around.
Yeah pretty straight forward. Bring a European sat nav with you or save the maps on your phone before you go.

Every one drives like a maniac as you expect, but I've never been on a bus with such a crazy driver in my life, all the buses and coaches just gun it everywhere it's insane.
Tbh you don't really need a car, taxis are dirt cheap and it means you can drink and not worry. Plus they know the roads better than you ever will so nice and quick.

the banana plantation tour was ok and the free liquor was yummy.
