Tenerife-Santa Cruz

    Hi all,

    I've booked flights to Tenerife at Christmas and a hotel in Santa Cruz called Occidental de Santa Cruz.

    Main reason I booked this hotel is because of the quality for the price. Prices were mad and I do like a nice hotel so it was a compromise.

    I've never been to Santa Cruz before but it seems like more of a city to me than a holiday resort.

    Anyone ever been?

    - S/C ? - Yes. Your hotel - no but I think it might be that one up the road from the Hotel Taburiente - if so its a quiet, safe area near the inner ring road.

    Yes indeed. At this stage S/C and La Laguna are one urban sprawl.

    Natives consider La Laguna to be penguin territory in winter

    Santa Cruz is a city yes not a holiday resort. One of the best beaches in the canaries 'playa de la teresitas' is a couple of miles north of santa cruz.

    Only other tips I can give is you have a car tour the north of tenerife. Some spectacular sights in that part of the world.

    Visited SC in February with my wife. We got a bus in, took a look around and got a bus back to the resort an hour later....lesson learned.
    We stayed in peurto Cruz...much nicer.

    There's a regular bus service from SC to everywhere on the island.
    We hired a car for general travel around the island as it's some distance from the main airport and we had a very early flight home. We went with budget/Avis.

    I recommend going to Mt Teide and going up the cable car. Book your slot online and wear something warm. It will have snow on it.
