At the heart of lively Playa de las Americas on the island’s southwest coast, you’ll find the popular 4-star Hotel Best Tenerife. From here, you can walk to the resort’s famous strip, which is bursting with bars and restaurants, or wander a little further to Las Vistas, one of Tenerife’s most beautiful Blue Flag beaches.

In the hotel itself, you’ve got a sprawling pool area perfect for families. From a waterfall to a whirlpool and a paddle-friendly section, there are no age restrictions when it comes to the wet fun. Those seeking some shade won’t have any trouble finding cover with plenty of greenery and umbrellas lining the water. And you don’t have to wander far for a poolside snack either. Just across the rope bridge you’ll find a bar serving warm light bites including pizzas, burgers, hot dogs and cocktails.

For more dining options, half board and all-inclusive guests can take full advantage of the buffet spot. Taking care of all the main meals, it’s full of sizzling show-cooking stations. On an evening you can look forward to Italian, Mexican and Asian favourites with themed nights providing plenty of options for fussy eaters. Guests craving something a little fancier can make a booking at the Mediterranean a la carte (open from 7pm to 10pm). Some menu items may incur an additional charge.

In terms of other facilities, parents will appreciate the kids club if their little ones are aged between 6 and 12, while the gym and table tennis will be the highlight for sporty teens. Superior guests also get an extra slice of relaxation as their stay includes exclusive access to an adult-only terrace. Filled with hammocks, Bali beds and a hot tub, this rooftop retreat feels completely secluded from the rest of the hotel. There’s also a spa where you can pay a little extra for the use of a sauna, pool and hot tub, or even a rejuvenating treatment.

As the sun goes down, the entertainment begins! Get ready for acrobatic performances, karaoke nights and Flamenco dancing. Those who prefer some easy-listening should head for the piano bar instead. Perfect for casual drinks or pre-dinner cocktails, make sure you time your visit with the live music (twice a week).

Whether you’ve had a big night on the town or a couple of drinks at the hotel bar, a great night’s sleep is guaranteed. The hotel’s spacious double rooms have everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay including air conditioning, satellite TV, a fridge, kettle, WiFi and a balcony or terrace. Superior spaces are also available and are located on the hotel’s higher floors. Kitted out with two queen-size beds and offering a pool view alongside some additional extras such as bathrobes and slippers - they’re a great choice for honeymooners or special occasions.
