My family and I spent 2 brilliant weeks at John and Edwina's apartment 28 in Winter Gardens. The apartment was easily accessible from the road where the taxi dropped us off which only cost 12 Euros, and only 5 minutes from the airport, this is good news when carrying all the luggage.
The apartment was well furnished and comfortable for us to live in - a home from home that was clean, and well appointed. The complex facilities are well thought out and child, and disable friendly. The pool is excellent but watch out for sun bed hogging by some residents when its busy, they reserve their places with towels then go out for the day! There are so many places to eat out locally that you may not need the self catering facilities and many say its cheaper to eat out than buy from the supermarket over the road. This is convenient but pricey. Taxis can be ordered from the hotel over the road to get to local supermarkets or you can stroll the 1km to San Blas where there is another cheaper local supermarket. As a reward for walking you can enjoy a home made ice cream on the way, just follow the signs, they're delicious, the kids had us walking there nightly!
If you hire a car go to Adeje old town to the OASIS RESTAURANT, closed on a Wednesday but open the rest of the week takes about 20 minutes from the apartment on the motor way. You will have the most amazing chicken & the whole meal experience is the best value for money you will find anywhere in the world. Just try it you won't be disappointed. Other places worth going are Siam water park for kids 8 and up, the crazy golf on the main golf course, go karting just past las chifiras (follow the signs), and a trip up Mount Teide reviles unbelievable scenery & views. Any Kite surfers wanting the best waves can head to El Medano where its packed with adrenaline seekers 24/7. All in all one of the best family holidays we have been on. You can do as much or as little as you like, but with consistently good weather all year round it all feels good in the sun! John is a friendly, helpful owner and we have already recommended his apartments to the rest of our family and close friends. Thanks John we will definitely be back!
