Off on my hols tomorrow, its an all inclusive hotel in Teneriffe so I am bringing minimal cash with me, but my son mentioned hotel tax being payable (its a long time since I have been abroad). Googling I cant find anything about Teneriffe tax only other areas of Spain, so I was wondering if anyone has been recently to the Canaries and knows if this is payable there and roughly the amount I will need to hold back.

I have been to Tenerife a few times, only came back 3 weeks ago and I've never had to pay anything so as far as I'm aware I don't think you need to pay anything but someone more knowledgable might know more!

thanks queen of elves, as google wont link anything to Tenerife it leads me to believe its excempt :)

I think it is paid but by the hotel (obviously by you but they include it in their rates).

The Baleriacs have an extra tax you pay bit not the Canaries.

I don’t know if this tax will have to be paid separately when you’re there but in general tourist taxes tend to be around two or three euros a night in Europe. Not enough to break the bank.

Not a clue. But once you get there can you let us know what the weather is like Grin please! I was debating booking somewhere in the Canaries this month but wasn't 100% on what the weather would be like

Just got through to Thomas Cook Live Chat and I am pleased to confirm that there is no Tourism Tax in the Canaries
