This beach is a gem. Also called espaguetthi beach. It's near to the huge and crowded touristic…read moreareas but it's different and actually a hippy beach! There are little tents and houses build with wood, a lot people camp there with tents. It's not totally easy to reach as one must drive to some outer part of a golf course and than walk down a cliff path for about 15 minutes, but it's really worth it and still a secret kind of. I hope i don't destroy that with my review but i do it all for yelp :)

Not only is the water clear and smooth, the beach stretches far away to other beaches creating almost a panoramic view of the coast. The sand is light grey as it approaches the shore and of a brighter and whiter sand away from shore. This is believe is due to a combination of volcanic and Sahara sand. Further down the coast, rocks lay upon each other to almost separate the beach from others and a long wooden pathway leads to the top of the beach where there is a McDonald's and other amenities. It is a great place to go alone and enjoy the day or go with friends/family/kids and perfect for building sand castles! I plan on going back tomorrow as I really enjoyed my time at this beach. A must!

A large number of other guests has the same symptoms vomiting and diarrhea. Very unpleasant. as this virus has been hanging around for some months we wondered why our tour operator sent us there in the first place. From our experience we would suggest finding alternative accommodation and choose another hotel and do not stay at the Los Gigntes Hotel which surprisingly is rated as 4 star. It is very tired looking and in possible need of complete fumigation to clear the virus.

I am not sure why the existing reviews are based on Las Americas and not Playa De Las Americas. Las…read moreAmericas itself is a nice spot to hang out in the South Of Tenerife. Based on the fact that this is a review for the beach, I would say that I enjoyed soaking up the sun in Playa De Las Americas. It's dark sandy beach, smooth sea and crashing waves made it all a pleasant visit. As I walked down the steps, the view of straw (beach) umbrellas, beach beds and burnt skin made me feel like I was actually on holiday. There is a charge of €5 to use the sun beds but it's better to do so than lie down on the burning sand. There are also people offering massages at a cost (which you can decline) but the donuts being sold by the men were irresistible so I had to grab one. I did decline the "ice cold fizzy drinks" though. After a day of self inflicted skin cancer, there was a cool bar called Chillies just down the road and their sister chain "Greek Corner" are were I calmed down with some Shisha ad Greek food !
