Canary Islands

Hiya, i'm thinking of going to the Canary islands for autumn break and my birthday. Any idea's?
I don't mind which island as we have been to several before. However I would like to be in the main resort.
It is for 2 x adults with twin beds, close to seafront.
Departing LGW on Sat 25th October for 1wk.
We always go SC but would like to try FB with the drinks included - we are not big drinkers ie. 2 x 1/2 larger type.
Thank you for any help or suggestions
If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
Spring begins on 21st March.

    Why don't you post details of the best deal that you have found in the 'Beat My Quote' thread?

    Have you looked at any brochures or online brochures? You say that you fancy FB but with drinks included, so I assume you mean AI? Perhaps if you gave an indication of your budget for the week people might be able to suggest something that would fall into your price range.

    If you are not big drinkers (or do not like to have several drinks each of an evening) it may also be worth looking at hotels which offer HB and comparing the cost of those together with the cost of your usual daily drink intake versus the cost AI options. AI do often include extra activities such as sports/watersports etc so it is worth bearing that in mind too.

    If you are not already aware of it, I am a big fan of Trip Advisor. You can read hotel reports from holidaymakers plus view photos that they have taken - it helps you to get a real feel for a place.
