Tenerife Summer Holiday

I have just returned from a week long relaxing summer holiday in Tenerife with my boyfriend Jamie so I thought why not share my thoughts on it with you! To be honest we booked the holiday as a cheap summer get away as I had just finished my first year of Uni and Jamie needed a break from work so we wanted to have a week to spend quality time together just chilling in the sun. This holiday worked out perfect for what we wanted but we were all really pleasantly surprised with Tenerife and how much we actually loved it a whole lot more than we anticipated we would!

To start with out hotel was in a great destination, right next to the strip so there was so many restaurants and bars around us and it was only a 5-10 minute walk to the beach. This was great of us as we were on a half board holiday so had to eat out for our lunch every day and we love exploring so spend most of our week wondering along the beach front which had so much to see, it just never seemed to end. Our favourite restaurant/bar we visited was called Coco Beach which was right on the sea front, we visited for food one day and visit for cocktails and sheesha another two of the nights, this is a perfect spot to catch a great sunset while drinking a cocktail, what more could you ask for? 


The biggest most popular beach is a black sand beach which we found a little over crowded so kept exploring until we found this beautiful pebble beach which everyones wrote there names in the sand with the stones for others to see while passing. This beach was so beautiful we couldn't help but go back at sunset to take a few photos on the stones with the palm trees in the background ( you can find more photos of this on my previous blog post), this was by far the best night for us, sitting having sunset chats with the sound of waves crashing into the rocks, absolute bliss. 

As for activities Tenerife had hundreds to choose from and I wish we could have done more, Tenerife isn't just a place for a relaxing holiday, you could go for a week filled with activities for all the thrill seekers out there. There is everything from jet skiing to hiking to snorkelling but for us as we were determined to have the relaxing holiday we needed so we stuck to the less eccentric activities such as massages, mini golf and water parks.

Close to us was a really cool mini golf with a bar, restaurant and pool tables, it was the great hang out place for the night. We spent hours playing mini golf which I got a hole in one and won so Jamie as not too pleased and played endless games of pool which Jamie won many times but I swear I am improving! 

Another of my favourites was the Jungle Park we visited which was full day Trip, there was so much to see and so many photography opportunities we couldn't miss out on so really took our time looking around and making the most of the park. 

I could go on for days telling you about how wonderful Tenerife is and all the other things we got up to but this blog post would turn into a novel! I will leave a list below of the top 5 things I would recommend to do in Tenerife and if you have any questions or want to know more please comment below I would love to help!
