Cafe Bebe’s Tenerife Highlights

Sep 7, 2011 by cafebebemama

Last week the Cafe Bebe Family set off on an amazing adventure to Tenerife thanks to Lowcostholidays. We experienced so many wonderful things, saw beautiful sights, soaked up plenty of southern rays and had an amazing time as a family. What more could you ask for?

We took off from Gatwick airport and had no glitches or troubles at all in parking our car, making our way to the terminal and getting onto the plane. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such a smooth passage through security and onto a plane! Remarkable! We made the HIGHLY ADVISABLE investment of a portable DVD player to keep Ella entertained on the journey which made the 3+ hour flight entirely more bearable for a 3 year old and her 40-something parents. If you are venturing on a journey, GET ONE! (Cafe Bebe Tip Number ONE!)

Unfortunately, we arrived in Tenerife quite late (9:30pm) but had a private driver to transfer us to our hotel in the Costa Del Silencio, the Ten Bel Aborada. It was the first time that I’ve ever had my name written on a sign upon arrival at an airport. How ridiculous that this pleased me so! We checked in without incident but had missed dinner so we resorted to searching the area for a place to eat after checking into our room. I managed, with my pitiful Spanish, to order us a hamburguesa, a bocadillo con jamon y queso and papas normal (a hamburger, ham & cheese toastie & chips w/ gorgeous dips including garlic mayo- my new favourite condiment!). I was rather proud!

I will be reporting more about our hotel, our excursions and our adventures but I wanted to share with you the highlights of our trip according to the 3 members of the Cafe Bebe family!

Mark: Husband, Father, All Around Good Egg-

Mark’s favourite parts of our Tenerife holiday were our excursion up to Mount Teide, relaxing (he does have a LOT of stress in his job…he enjoyed the Sangria on holiday!) and watching Ella dance at the Kiddie Disco at the Ten Bel Aborada each night

Karin: Wife, Mother, Social Media Maven-

My favourite parts of the holiday were the Must Cat catamaran voyage, the views from Mount Teide and Ella dancing and swimming.

Ella- Daughter, Toddler, Drama Queen Extraordinaire-

According to Ella, her favourite parts of our Tenerife holiday were the water park (Aqualand) and the bus rides! Isn’t it amazing how insignificant something has to be to impress a 3 year old!

We have returned a bit worse for the wear (I’ve managed to acquire a kidney infection while it appears that Ella is exhausted & has a bit of a bug) but that in no way changes the fact that the Cafe Bebe family had a simply outstanding holiday in Tenerife. More to come this week…in the meantime, have a look at Lowcostholidays to see the amazing places you can visit for your next family adventure. Thank you Tenerife…we were very happy to holiday with you!
