Resort recommendations for this summer

Due to lockdown easing, we are now looking into the possibility of going abroad. Our first holiday was cancelled however travel agent now says we have the option to rebook in either Ibiza or Canaries. Can anyone recommend any nice family resorts here?

No judgement please. We understand the risks.

Leicester is in lockdown again.

Don’t think she wanted to go to Leicester!

@Firstawake And where I live is far from locked down with the lowest cases in the UK.

I suggest you keep it that way.

Sailingblue · 30/06/2020 19:45

Firstawake Do you think your posts are helpful? The OP wants to book a holiday which she is perfectly entitled to do. She didn’t ask whether she should or shouldn’t go.

We loved Tagoro family and hotel in Tenerife, our tui family life bahia feliz in Gran Canaria

I hope you wear a mask.

Firstawake · 30/06/2020 21:52

Stay safe then.

@Firstawake perhaps you should bore off and be firstasleep!

clipclop5 · 30/06/2020 23:50

@Floatyboat Did I ever say we weren’t? Masks are compulsory on planes + in airports so of course we are going to.

I’m off to lanzarote in August - costa Teguise. Been before and it’s Lovely

Has anyone been to Hard Rock Hotel, Tenerife? Looks quite nice and would suit my teenagers

OP posts:
OnlyFoolsnMothers · 01/07/2020 01:41

Yep OP I’ve been to the hard rock - gorgeous hotel but tbh not much to do there (not many additional activities aside a pool and roof top bar)- and also what I didn’t know was it’s quite north so actually you don’t get as good a sun as the more southern hotels. We had a few cloudy days.

Back garden.

@WhenCoronaWasALager If you have nothing useful to say, don’t say it. Enjoy your back garden.

Tagoro have a hotel on Lanzarote too that might suit teens more

clipclop5 hard rock hotel tenerife is meant to be nice, but pretty far removed from everything else. I'd also look at 4/5* Costa Adeje hotels. We once stayed at the Anthelia and that was wonderful but usually very pricey.

Ginfordinner · 01/07/2020 07:19

We found Costa Teguise rather dull - totally devoid of character with no real central point of interest such as a harbour, and full of British bars selling British beer and showing British football.

I do like Lanzarote though. There is lots to see and do on the island.

Ginfordinner but still mildly better than Leicester as a holiday destination?

I like Costa Teguise because if you turn right you get to Bahia Del Duque which is a lovely beach with loos and an ice cream shop. Keep walking and you end up at Calets - with lots of traditional seafood restaurants and a surfing beach.
Turn left instead and you get the wonderful tackiness of Playa de las Americas and there is a harbour on the way.
There is also a great escape room(s) that our teen mightily enjoyed.

We did like Lanzarote as well mind.

rookiemere · 01/07/2020 07:50

Caleta not Calets Blush

Grin I can't argue with that. My response was for which resort, not whether the OP should go away.

rookiemere are you confusing Costa Teguise with Costa Adeje or somewhere else? None of those other places you have mentioned are in Lanzarote.
