Just finished eating and it was fantastic. Citurna is fully booked tonight so happy I did that in advance. Limited menu but side great choices in there.
Not had a disappointing meal all week actually from any restaurant.

Not had a disappointing meal all week actually from any restaurant.
Thanks very much for all your very useful tips. We went for Puerto del Carmen in the end. I am amazed at how lovely it is in November/December. Not just the 24c, very light breeze, but I've seen ONE child this week. It's so peaceful, no loud families, no drunk Brits, just chill. Staying at the Plus Fariones Suite Hotel which is great. For our first "package" holiday, it's been so easy.
Stayed in royal hideaway suits LA caleta (tenerife) earlier this month. Expensive as hell, but if you want a top quality hotel, for foodies this is the place. It has both a 2-star and 1-star michelin restaurants on site as well as casual dining. Has a series of well sculptured pools, including a 5th floor adults only infinity pool. About €15-€20 taxi ride up the cost from playa de las americas. Had a group of friends round and the apartment terrace had loads of space for the 9 of us. Full apartment with a completely tooled out high end kitchen.
Never been to tenerife, so the €1.50 pints of san miguel came a nice surprise (not at this hotel mind you !)

The word expensive doesn't make sense to me with Tenerife
Then again, I always travel by myself.Slight increase with price this year though when I visited last month, €1.50 a pint compared to €1 previous years. Some places 0.95c a pint before covid but many have closed down
Still cant complain about the price, compared to where I live the average price for a pint is £10.
It’s a fantastic resort. For families the apartments are fantastic in the family half of the resort given separate bedrooms and full kitchen make breakfast and evenings great as no need to goto bed at 7pm with the kids. Not the cheapest but value wise I think it was great.
Some fantastic restaurants in la caleta five minutes walk away as well - a Japanese izakaya the kids in particular loved.
We have booked private villa in Playa Blanca next year for 2 weeks with a pool and a load of other amenities, we did 2 weeks this year but at a resort and the food/other guests are not something I want to repeat ever again.
Need to look at car hire for shopping/trips but sure that won't be an issue.

Lots of car hire options.
Our villa transfer would have cost £132. Car hire for the 5 days was £90 and £10 fuel. Also, the roads are fantastically smooth.
Buses are easy enough as it's a circular route pretty much but note that they only take cash with a €10 limit.
Autoreisen or Cabrera Medina are good car hire companies, no hassle or upsells or scams. Avoid goldcar
We did a 2-week villa stay in Playa Blanca this year and it was lovely. Car hire via Autoreisen was simple, and as outlined much better value, roads are well maintained and there is plenty of parking around the island. Lanzarote is more chill than Tenerife and we preferred that.

Would you consider Feuteventura? It has amazing beaches, great resorts and pretty quiet

We've just booked Playa Del Ingles in Gran Canaria for May.
We always go fully inclusive for 7 days on abroad holidays, Mrs asked if I wanted to go for 10 days so I refused and then said it's only another £50 each to go for 10 days so I grabbed that one.
