More holiday help required. We want to go to the Canary Islands with our 2 children (almost 2 and 4) in March but the hotel we normally go to in lanzarote is a ?1,000 more expensive than last year! Wondered if anyone could recommend a good hotel on any of the islands? It needs to be somewhere that does a buffet breakfast/has a children's pool/playground/activites/be in walking distance to a beach and bars/restaurants and most importantly where we can get a suite with a separate bedroom and lounge area so we're not all sleeping in the same room - sleep deprivation always ruins a holiday for me!
Second the Princesa Yaiza - had lovely holiday there last year. Beach right on the doorstep, kids clubs & pools, plus soft play indoors, which was v handy for tiring little legs out before dinner. Also a small supermarket right outside, with nappies etc. We had a one bed apartment with kitchenette, which was just a fridge & microwave (pay extra for a kettle) but as much as we needed. Stuffed ourselves at breakfast...

How funny - just stumbled across this thread after (yesterday) booking the Princesa Yaiza for our summer holiday! Lovely to hear the good reviews of it. How much am I looking forward to sizzling by a pool this summer...?


We have also been to the Abama in Tenerife which was very swish and lovely - fantastic pool, beautiful hotel and right near a great beach. The breakfasts were AMAZING (I do appreciate a nice hotel breakfast). The kids' club was very quiet when we went and it didn't seem particularly exciting (more colouring and Lego etc than organised activities) but it was off-season and just after it had opened so it might be different in busier times of year. It's also a bit in the middle of nowhere so you'd need to rent a car if you wanted to explore outside the resort. That aside, I'd definitely recommend the hotel itself.

Hi - the Yaiza is great. Unfortunately this is the one we used to go to in the past that has suddenly gone up in price drastically so I don't think we can afford it this year :-(. It's perfect for children though so you won't be disappointed.

    • Hi - I posted a request for some help with a stuck door and possible leaky roof. I had responses from Lukasz at Look_as.com and Pawel at Sublime Builders. I don't see any/many reviews - has anyone used either person?  Could use a recommendation rather then just being contact by the tradespeople... Many Thanks 
    • I'm a bit worried by your sudden involvement on this Forum.  The former Prince Andrew is now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Mountbatten in an anglicisation of Von Battenburg adopted by that branch of our Royal Family in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment. Another anglicisation could be simply Battenburg as in the checker board cake.  So I surmise that your are Andrew Battenburg, aka Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and that you have infiltrated social media so that the country can put the emphasis on Mandelson rather than yourself.  Bit of a failure. I don't expect an answer from police custody.  
    • We had John fit our PLYKEA kitchen (IKEA cabinets with custom doors) and would happily recommend him and Gabi to anyone. Gabi handled all communication and was brilliant throughout — responsive and happy to answer questions however detailed. John is meticulous, cares about the small details, and was a pleasure to have in the house. The carpentry required for the custom doors was done to a high standard, and he even refinished the plumbing under the sink to sit better with the new cabinets — a small touch that made a real difference. They were happy to return and tie up a few things that couldn't be finished in the time, which we appreciated. No hesitations recommending them.
    • Not sure about that. Rockets seems to have (rightly in my view) identified two key motivating elements in Mcash's defection: anger at his previous (arguably shabby) treatment and a (linked) desire to trash the Labour party, nationally and locally. The defection, timed for maximum damage, combined with the invective and moral exhibitionism of his statement counts as rather more than a "hissy fit".  I would add a third motivation of political ambition: it's not inconceivable that he has his eye on the Dulwich & West Norwood seat which is predicted to go Green.  James Barber was indulging in typical LibDem sleight of hand, claiming that Blair introduced austerity to *councils* before the coalition. This is a kind of sixth form debating point. From 1997-1999 Labour broadly stuck to Tory spending totals, meaning there was limited growth in departmental spending, including local govt grants. However local government funding rose substantially in the Noughties, especially in education and social care. It is a matter of record that real-terms local authority spending increased in the Blair / Brown years overall. So he's manifestly wrong (or only right if the focus is on 1997-1999, which would be a bizarre focus and one he didn't include in his claim) but he wasn't claiming Blair introduced austerity more widely.
