    Hi Kevin
    Why would you walk along the dual carriageway?
    Just walk out the main entrance, turn left, and then walk downhill around the perimeter of the golf course along the tree lined path
    It's a nice, pleasant walk.
    Then, get a taxi back, if tired, for 5 euros from Las Americas.
    It is a bit of a walk but good value, really!

    Hi Kevin what a great honest account you have given.Yes the room was really good maybe to big for a solo traveller you'd get lonely in it.But if your to far from everything its only catering for a minority of people you do need a certain amount of facilities .Location is always number one and for me definetly a Mercadona Restaurants Bus stop and Promenade close at Hand but you described the complex very well.

    Hello Scotsman in tenerife, I'm visiting the island next year I was just wondering how safe it is as I'm travelling solo, also have you ever been in the h10 las palmeras before. If so do have a tour of the hotel.

    Along the road is the green garden suites fantastic resort but the robbing taxis rip you off . I’m interested what do you say to the taxis about pressing the button? The taxis can spoil Tenerife a bit for me I wish they’d bring in Uber.

    • @Gavaldo
      @Gavaldo Місяць тому +1

      @@jackiebrown3818 What to do is always ask the taxi driver before you actually step into the car. Location how much and he can’t fiddle around with the metre,but also be aware what the rough amount should be as they still may say a figure that is much inflated. Usually at the reception the person will say how much you should expect to pay to a certain area and always ask first. It’s worked for me and sometimes you may get the same taxi driver coming every night if you ask. Just if u are going to use taxis say at night to go out for a meal etc. 👍

      Green garden is nice video soon but bad location too isolated. I just tell them not paying the button extra they actually scam themselves as I would tip that anyway.

      Thankyou I wish they could be regulated. It can be £10 to the golf course and £13 back. My stomachs actually in a knot in a taxi - ridiculous I know😊

      Hi Jackie. I’ve been advised 2 methods. One is say no suplemento, the extra charge is only allowed if its airport or to a port. Second method is ask them for a receipt and take the taxi number. I think they are quick to remove the charge when you ask for receipt.

    Hi Kevin, thanks for showing us something different, but like you said room very nice with good facilities, but no good if it is out of the way. For golfers, and people who hire a car it is probably good. I know people who go to the sunshine to play golf with a group of friends and not bothered about going to other bars etc. You mentioned losing some footage. Why don’t you have a back up device and use it regularly, so that if that happens you have a copy. If you have iCloud, or Google Drive it should also copy to the cloud. I backup to my laptop, and also have a separate back up device which is only the size of a power bank so easy to copy data. You work so hard so it is not good if you lose some footage.

      @@gavinsyme1571 Totally agree. I love a relaxed atmosphere and sometimes I like a hotel not bang in the middle of everything but it’s about the vibe and atmosphere in the hotel and location also. Great if you’re a private soul and don’t want to mix with anyone but I think it’s good to meet new people. it’s a must to have the option in whatever complex you stay at. It’s a no for me also! I like a quiet place but I also want the option to enjoy the buzz around the hotel especially if I’m Spending my day at the pool. It looked really quiet even although it’s not far away from Americas. With a dangerous walk along the road at night. Big red flag. 👍
