The Canaries in November - any reccs?

[pilsbury]

Hi all

Hoping to take a week's break (in broadest sense of the word, lol) in the canaries next month with a 2.5 yr old and 12 wk old. Have previously been to roca Nivaria in Tenerife but fancy somewhere different. Happy with self catering or hotel, needs to have heated pool as am not sure it'll be warm enough otherwise at that time of year... Any recommendations v gratefully received!

Thanks

Grand Hotel du Bahia is gorgeous. We stayed in late October and the weather was still really warm.

Is all-inc rather than self catering, but we went to Sensatori Tenerife in June & it was lovely. Kids pool is heated, but others are acclimatised which apparently is typical for most outdoor pools now to reduce bacterial growth (yuk!).

Amazing entertainment/kids facilities & the person who originally recommended it to us went Oct time :-)

We went to finca Malvasia in lazarote it was lovely

Another vote for the Gran Melia (Sensatori) in Tenerife here - we have not gone with kids yet (I'm pregnant with my first) but if you book direct you can stay in the family area of 'Red Level' which is their super luxurious bit and well worth the extra cash in my opinion. Clarins toileteries? Why yes, thanks very much.

Ooh, didn't realise there were family rooms in that bit - when we were there it was strictly adults only - unsure how relaxed you could be with young kids in that bit (plus not being able to use the nearest pool!). Am v jealous of the clarins toiletries though!!

Hi Buggie

Yes it's very new - although seperated from the Red Level Lounge and the Red Level pool - there is apparently a seperate Red Level family pool! We hope to check it out with mini CocoC next year!
