Which resorts are best for cheap holidays to Tenerife?

For Brits, the most economical holiday to Tenerife is likely to be in the resort of Playa de las Americas or neighbouring Los Cristianos.  These two resorts account for more UK holidays than any others, so there is a lot of competition that helps to keep prices down.  With most package deals coming to these two resorts as well, they’re the best ones to concentrate on for cheap holidays to Tenerife.

Top Tips

At the moment, with numbers of holidaymakers lower than in recent years, prices are even keener as hotels and holiday companies, desperate to fill empty rooms and empty seats on planes, come up with more and more great deals.  But how do you actually go about finding that cheap Tenerife holiday?  Let’s take a look at the Suntrap Holidays top tips:

  • If you’re going for 7, 10 or 14 days, include package deals in your search, as the best package deals to Tenerife or anywhere else are for these lengths of holiday.
  • Forget about going during short school holidays if you want a bargain.  There is so much demand during half-term weeks that the tour operators have no need to lower prices at these times.
  • To get the cheapest package holidays to Tenerife, book late – within eight weeks of your departure date.  With package deals, the later you leave it, the less choice you get, but the better the price.  It’s not always the same story if you book separately though – if there is a last-minute squeeze on flight availability, low cost airlines can actually raise the prices later on.
  • Night flights are better value – always – because people don’t like them, so the cheapest flights to Tenerife will be at least in part during the night.  Personally, I would rather stay at home than miss out on a night’s sleep, but that’s just me!
  • Plan your major excursions before you go.  You can sometimes get special deals on tickets to some of the bigger attractions if you buy on-line in advance.
  • If you are booking your flights and hotel separately, when you add up the costs make sure you include baggage charges and transfers to the resort to get a true comparison.
  • Eating out in Tenerife is not particularly expensive, but it soon adds up.  If you can, go half-board or all-inclusive, and only eat food and take drinks that are included in the price.  This is one of the best ways of reducing the overall cost of your bargain holiday in Tenerife.

Finally, these days many of the main on-line agents have price match guarantees, so just like the supermarkets, they monitor prices carefully to make sure they are not being undercut.  At the moment, you can book some of the best deals in the market here:  Cheap holidays to Tenerife.
