Puerto de Santiago, Tenerife, Spain Holiday Review - We miss it

Date of travel: 25-September-2007
It has only been 3 weeks since my girlfriend and I have been in Puerto De Santiago, and we have holiday sickness already. We miss it like mad!!!! We had an amazing time there as it was very peaceful and calm. There was not much to do for those who were there for loud times and dancing in the streets but for us who needed to get away, it was nirvana. Oh how she painted undisturbed and fully focused. She was able to concentrate fully on her work because she was so calm. I was able to write music on Los Gigantes beach to the sun set and rise. The shops in the town had nice items and people would also sell homemade treats. We bought bags of the “galletas” cookies from a little old lady. It was funny to see amidst this quiet area cabaret acts at some of the bars. They were quite good especially for this town and my girlfriend enjoyed it too. Very pleasant town and people. Very pleasant time and holiday.

Puerto de Santiago, Tenerife, Spain Holiday Review - Beautiful Holiday and Resort!

I holidayed in Puerto de Santiago with my sister and her 2 children and we had a whale of a time. The 2 children were very well behaved; they stayed in the small swimming pool most of the day while we sunbathed with a cocktail by the pool side. The Aparthotel Tamaimo Tropical from the front looked plain and boring but it was a total different story once you were inside. It had a huge entrance to the reception area, there was also a bar/restaurant and a gymnasium and the rooms were very cosy and relaxing. The view from our balcony was gorgeous too. The hotel would put on a BBQ evening and have live music playing plus there was a disco night as well. There were a few restaurants in the resort but we stayed in the hotel as the food was delicious and we knew what to expect. The service was excellent. We never bothered with going out of an evening due to having kids with us so we just chilled by the pool bar until it closed and then went to our room and watched a movie. It was a very peaceful holiday with great people.

Puerto de Santiago, Tenerife, Spain Holiday Review - Not my Favorite Holiday

Did not enjoy it at all. It did not have much to offer that I could not have seen at home. Too little in the way of bars and restaurants. The ones that we did visit were nice but they were too much like home. Where is the authenticity? We choose a smaller resort because we thought that it would be more old time and authentic but no. Way too commercial. The beach was not even in our resort but in the one next door. And if that was not terrible enough the rocks and sand were hard to walk and sit on. The black sand was very pretty but come middle of the day you felt like you were walking on coals.
