Tenerife is pretty good but it depends what you like doing.

We've booked for Costa Adeje next year as we couldn't find what we wanted on Gran Canaria.

You'll get a better idea of things by looking on Trip Advisor forums.

I prefer Tenerife. It can be very windy in Gran Canaria and lanzarotti.

We all liked Tenerife, been twice, once to Costa Adeje, once to PDLA.
Costa Adeje was too quiet for us, enjoyed PDLA.

Booked for Gran Canaria next year, first visit.

IMO one of the best Zoos and one of the best waterparks are in Tenerife.

The southern western part of Gran Canaria is well sheltered, never had an issue with winds in Taurito.

I'd go for the southern part of Tenerife. Personally, I prefer Los Cristianos which isn't quite as crazy as PDLA but is walkable distance away or a short bus/taxi ride.

Just be warned that Christmas/New Year is peak season in the Canaries so prices will be high (and the exchange rate doesn't help) so I'd get booked ASAP.

Good reason not to go there then, don't really want to see wild animals trapped for human pleasure.

I wouldn't go to any at Christmas. Too cold/wet/windy. If you want good weather head further, Thailand/ India etc. :cool:

We have been to Fuerteventura, Tenerife and Gran Canaria and we stopped going to GC a number of years ago because it has been taken over by Scandinavians and the increase in price is solely down to that fact.
We went to Fuerteventura last Xmas and the weather was great,
Previously year we did Tenerife and again it was great.
