    I went to Cyprus and would never go again if they paid me.

    My vote goes with Tenerife..
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Thanks -at present looking at Aphrodite Hills.

    Here you go then, this is a selection of their current offers including rooms, tennis coaching and spa deals.

    Pete is right though, if you want to see anything outside of the complex you'll need to hire a car.

    I love Cyprus and it would always be my first choice however in February it would have to be Tenerife because there is more chance of sunshine there.

    If it was the Aiya Napa/Protaras area you visited, I can understand why.

    However, I'd still vote Cyprus.

    We went to Cyprus - to Aphrodite Hills Intercontinental for the week. The weather was fine - mostly like a good spring day at home.

    The tennis was excellent, and although not running any group lessons my OH negotiated a discount on a course of private lessons.

    The spa was lovely too, so this holiday ticked all the boxes.

    Thanks for the recommendation.

    Cyprus is great. If you do choose Cyprus make sure you hire a jeep and head off into the Troodos mountains - stunning views.

    Having been to both I would choose Cyprus in February rather than Tenerife at any time of year. IMO Cyprus is much nicer all round though not everyone will agree of course as we all have different tastes.

    I agree, been to both, Cyprus is much nicer.

    Been to east & west, I much prefer the east side.

    The best thin g about Paphos are the places outside it, but the town its self is too big & the beach poor.
