Los Gigantes, Poblado Manero Apartments

Los Gigantes is a beautiful place, with friendly people and perfect for a chill out/older couples holiday, or as a quiet base for exploring from. Teenagers would be bored stiff. There is a pretty but un-child friendly small beach. But to compensate, there is a spotless lido, with great staff and a snack bar that is very cheap, with excellent portions of great food.

The Poblado Manero Apartments are very spacious, but they need bringing up to date. Think youth hostel/pension in Greece, and you will get the picture.

All in all, it is a small, clean resort. More than a week there and I would have gone stir crazy, and we had a car for 3 days of it! Steves Diner at the back of the hotel on the way to the beach - lovely people, and traditional English food, if you like that sort of thing - great packed lunches and good PG Tips tea! Jessis on the beach was expensive but in a fab location, with an open kitchen for cooking. Peking Chinese was the best - really cheap and A1 quality. The friendly Dolphin on the harbour had helpful staff and fab breakfasts. Churchills is over rated, as is Little Italy.

There is a supermarket at the back of the hotel, and the beach is a 2 minute walk away. Church square by Highland Paddy is good for a drink, as the kids can run around safely in the square, and they all tend to play together.

Would I go back? No! I've seen it all in a week. But all in all, it was relaxing - enjoy!
