I'm heading off to Tenerife at the end of the month for a week. A relative owns an apartment in Playa de las Americas which I'll be using (Palm Beach apartments if anyone knows them?).
It wasn't my first choice of destination but a free apartment and a desperate need to get away to somewhere sunny for a week made it irresistible.
I have been to Gran Canaria before and I imagine Tenerife is going to be much of the same thing, i.e. loads of sunburnt fat English men drinking Stella and Carling in the usual tourist traps.
Apart from the usual drinking and shagging that goes on, what else is there to do? Is it possible to hire motorbikes/quads and go up the mountain? What about speedboats, jetskis etc? What sort of price would you expect for these?
What about the bars and whatnot? Where are the good spots for a bit of craic? I hate clubbing so that's out unless I get airlocked.
Basically, I'm a Tenerife virgin and would like to get some idea of what I can I can get up to before I go.
Thanks.
