However, you need to know a few things before booking your family friendly hotel or apartment.
Tenerife is one of the Canary Islands that benefits a great sunny weather all year round due to the proximity of West Africa.

Equally, Spring and Summer are great seasons to go and visit Tenerife with guaranteed sunshine and temperature reaching up over 30°C.

If you come for the first time in Tenerife, this is probably the best area to stay with your little tribe. Costa Adeje is located in the Southern coast of Tenerife. There are amazing hotels with family rooms such as Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife or Baobab Suites. And you can enjoy the proximity of fabulous parks such Siam Park or Aqualand.
2. Guía de Isora
Located on the West coast of Tenerife, Guía de Isora is quieter than the South part of the island and benefits from the protection of the mountains. You will have to pay a visit to the small fishing village of Playa San Juan. Hotels within this region we can recommend below are Allegro Isora as well as Gran Melia Palacio de Isora.
3. Playa de Las Américas
Situated on the South of Costa Adeja, Playa de Las Américas is a purpose built resort for holidaymakers. It is not too far from the fishing village Los Christianos. Playa de Las Américas is the nightlife hub of the South of the island. However, some great kids friendly hotels are to be considering such as Coral Compostela Beach or Green Garden Resort.
When is the best time to visit and stay in Tenerife with the Family?
