The choice of hotels in Tenerife is quite staggering with everything from affordable 3 star hotels to top class 5 star luxury hotels available. Whether you are planning a romantic break away, a quick 'run to the sun' or a fortnight long family holiday, Tenerife really does have something for everyone. Mount Teide effectively splits Tenerife in two. The cooler northern part, where resorts such as Puerto De La Cruz are based, is a lush tropical paradise of Palm trees and Banana Plantations. By contrast, the south of Tenerife is hotter and dryer, with an almost desert landscape away from the Coast. Here you will find the islands most popular and largest resorts of Playa De Las Americas, Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos. No trip to Tenerife would be complete without taking a day to visit Mount Teide, at 3700 metres, Spain's highest peak.
