Hi.

Has anyone got a good site to search for cheap package deals to anywhere in the Canary Islands.
Was looking to go for a week, perhaps flying as soon as Tuesday.

Also, any info on which is teh best island to go to would also be appreciated.

Thanks.

    Always gone to the Canaries with Orchid Travel and can't fault them.

    Been to all of them and have to say that Gran Canaria was my favourite by far!

    Ok, i'll give that a try. So far when i search the price seems okay until you call them.............

    The dreaded word FROM.

    Did you try searching? It seems that where the problem is.

    Anyway, i think i have decided to try for lanzarote, so any info about that island (resorts and accomodation and places to avoid/go for) will be much appreciated.

    yep...good choice its (IMHO) the nicest of the island.
    Playa blanca..Costa Teguise and Los Pocilios <sp> are the nicest resorts Puerto Del Carmen is ok to visit unless you want clubs clubs clubs and !!!!!! steer clear.
    Good cheap apartments are the Don Paco in Los Pocilos they are not the best but clean and close to everythign and not a huge transfer from the airport but only for SC DONT go HB there the food is horrible.
    Costa Calero is nice to and the Iberostar there is very nice and AI if you can pick up a cheap late for the hotel its well worth it

    Gracias. It's looking like Playa Blanca at the moment, most probably SC. Just searching some accomodation and reading some reviews, though it seems almost everybody is saying that the accomodation there is terrible for one reason or another. :o
