Accommodation only in Tenerife

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for accommodation only:

1> The price I've already found = £140 3* S/C apartment (in Los Cristianos, Tenerife)
2> I need a place from the 11th till the 18th March
3> I ideally want to spend no more than £140 (for 2 people) and I would prefer to stay in Playa de las America (rather than Los Cristianos) and would rather a hotel (more chance of meeting others in "off" season?)

2 girls, aged 24, non smokers: must haves = clean, safe, pool, roof and bed (in no particular order!). Board, star, noise etc not a problem so long as the must haves are met.

Where have I already looked: ebookers, lastminute, teletext, booking.com, youtravel, somewhere2stay, quick rooms, med life hotels and holidaylettings.co.uk/

I don't know of this is asking the impossible - but thanks for any help guys and girls! I will keep you posted on whether I manage to beat my own price.

Thanks very much x

    I think you'll have better luck at https://www.travelsupermarket.com/hotels
    I did a quick search/peek and saw some good deals there.

    Good Luck :D

    I'm not being unpleasant, but how much cheaper than £140 for two people for a week are you looking for ? Thats £10 per person, per day.

    Hey Murphy the cat - it's no problem I don't take these things personally.

    First off I should have made it clearer that the main objective is to get the same price of £140 in the desired location (Las America not Los Cristianos) or failing get a hotel (rather than an apartment) in Los Cristianos. Lower than £140 would just be an advantage. Also there are plenty of places out there that are less than £140 for the week but they are all on the north of the island.

    I'm just some girl who is using the Internet to find something on the cheap and I figured that there were people who are probably a lot better and more used to this sort of thing that I am, so why not give it a shot? :confused:

    Nordictat2 thanks for the advice I've had a quick look but none of them seem to be in the right area, but I will use more comparison sites from now on, thank you for the tip. x

    Have you tried TRAVELREPUBLIC or SPAIN2GO? If you find something on the first one sloppychops might give you a discount code if you ask her nice..:)

    If you find a hotel that you like you can do a comparison HERE to see if there is a better price..

  • Hi Edna, thanks for the tip. Had a look but couldn't find anything in the right location but thank you very much for trying.

  • Hi Trisha,

    thanks for the sites - I had a look but nothing in the right area. I think I might have to admit defeat!

    Are you even sure that area is even open this time of year? Some places don't cater to "outsiders" til summer season ;)

  • Ummm I'm not totally sure I think so? I thought it was one of those places that never really got quiet? I will do some investigating, though there are some in the area open - but out of my price range!

    Thanks once again for the help!

    yes it will be open, as tenerife especially las americas is an all year round resort.

    your not going to get cheaper than your price

    http://www.hotelscomparison.com/

    put playa de las americas in and see what comes up

    as this website searches all companies.

    cheapest i could find was Colombus for £368 but on the discount codes page there is a working 15% discount of that

    making it £300ish

    oh i may see you there as i'm of then
