Tenerife/Cyprus/Lanzarote

Going rogue here but we loved Gran Canaria and went there a year or so after going to Cyprus
puerto Mogan was lovely and felt more relaxed than Cyprus

We were in Tenerife last year and Lanzarote the year before and liked both, but there is definitely more to do in Tenerife.
My only issue with Tenerife was everything felt busy and crowded because it was bigger.
We stayed at GF Gran which was lovely but never 5* in a million years but little shopping centre next door was fantastic, and location was pretty good although the kids moaned a bit walking up the hill from the beach.
We were there in August, so June might be better.
We loved Loro Parque and Siam and Mount Teide - although we only went up and down cable car - you have to apply for a licence for hikes.

Cyprus, uses Euro, 4 hours flight, many English speakers, history and geographical significance cannot be underestimated, there's a reason the UK still has a base there.

I regularly go to tenerife.

I've stayed at the gf isabel. Much more suited to under 10s . I'd cross that off your list.

The gf gran is better for teens. It's a huge hotel but great pools and they policecreservations of sunbeds which is fabulous. Just had a renovation too. Location probably not the best good 10 mins to beach.

I've not stayed at the iberostar Las dalias but it gets good reviews as a family all inclusive. Costa adeje is great but huge

I would post on the tenerife trip advisor forum where you will get great advice and help.

Totally agree. Lanzarote left me cold. Tenerife ok, but Cyprus hands down the best of the three.

I really like Cyprus but find Tenerife a bit soulless. I've never been to Lanzarote so can't comment on there but I imagine it to be like Tenerife. I'd definitely pick Cyprus and the waterpark is good in Paphos.

I've just booked Rubicon for a few night next months. Can let you know how it goes but worried now after hearing people say its so windy there

I love Costa Adeje we have been every year for the past 6 years bar COVID. We stayed at Gran Tacande most times but I hear good things about the GF Gran. Gran Tacande will be out of your budget, but this year we are staying at Royal Sunset Beach Club to save a bit of money. What we love about it is the range of restaurants, bars, entertainment and walks along the sea front. It has everything! We also love hikes so we book on planned ones where we get taken up North Tenerife for hiking, it's beautiful.

Absolutely love Cyprus. Like Tenerife as well, but not been for years. Never been to lanzarote.

We went to Tenerife at Easter and loved it. Heard negative things about Lanzarote and that's it gets quite windy. We stayed in Puerto de Santiago which was quieter and a bit further out. We did a day trip to Costa Adeje and it certainly has more life so probably preferable with a teenager and closer to Siam Mall and water park. Also closer to the airport. Kids loved Loro Parque. They still talk about it now.

Hated Lanzarote. Such weird landscape, very little green and lots of wind. Would not go back. I hear Tenerife is much nicer.

Would 100% say Cyprus. Did Tenerife twice was ok, but Cyprus was lovely and we are going back again this summer as it had so much to offer.

We didn’t like Lanzarote. The hotel was lovely but it was always windy and that made using the pool tricky as DD would be cold afterwards.

Not with a teen but loved Iberostar Bouganville, nice pools (though sunbeds a little crowded together) great location, great food and drinks, excellent service. Would definitely stay again on our next visit to Costa Adeje.
Loved Teide, some great walks, it is cold at the top if you take the cable car and the air is thin so can result in a headache, if clear can see the other islands.
