Holiday in the Canary Islands, suggestions please! Post Reply

We're thinking about doing a winter sun holiday in February/March next year with our son who will be a bit over two. Have any of you been to a great place in the Canary Islands with your little ones?

The thinking behind the Canary Islands is that it is about the nearest place you can go for some warm winter sun, and having just about survived a four hour flight with our son to Turkey last month we're not sure we can handle long haul just yet! Ideally we'd like a bit of a Mark Warner style holiday with some sort of daytime children's club and evening child care as our son won't tolerate coming out to dinner with us! I'm not sure that the Mark Warner style thing exists at that time of year though.

Not been myself but heard lots of positive stories of the Princess Yaiza on Lanzarote

I have been to each one of the canary islands and my favourite is Tenerife.

Last time we stayed at the Hotel Gran Tenerife near Costa Adeje, it was five star all inclusive.

Hi, we go to Lanzarote frequently and would agree that the Princess Yaiza is lovely. V unLanzarote...! Hotel Volcan, a short stroll away (down at the Rubicon Marina) is lovely too. Both feel 5 star...but without the bling.

Ive been to the Yaiza twice and it is lovely, but be warned the pools are very cold in Feb!

We are considering a winter sun break as well. We have not been to the Canaries but based on the posts we are now considering Lanzarote. What are the nicer areas for villas? Does anyone recommend a specific website for villa rental? Thanks x
