    Hi, I'm looking at a 2 week holiday to Tenerife for two people. We can travel from 29th Oct, but have to be back in the UK on the morning of 16th Nov. We are happy to fly from any midlands, donny, leeds, or manchester airport.
    I'd like to pay no more than £600 total for the holiday (including flights, transfers, baggage, self catering accom for 2 people).
    Do you think this is unrealistic? We aren't really bothered where in Tenerife, but las americas, los crist or costa adeje would be preferable.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks

    Just to note that if you do book this, try not to stay on the top 2 floors. They have loooong trailing plants that grow down from the top floor of the hotel, and these breed flies like you wouldn't believe! The rest of the floors are fine and the hotel was great in general (buffet restaurant especially good) but the flies can be a pain!
