Hotel room for a day

Thank you angsw! There are difficult days, but I regularly remind myself that worse things happen to people. I'm sorry for the passing of your son. I know that despite the trials and demands of caring, you will have felt the loss. X

Sorry to juxtapose with two sad posts.

What dirty minds you've all got!!

Yes of course I thought the same

Gosh Granny buy I feel for. My dh is fine but we're older parents to son with severe disabilities, health problems. (He died suddenly from SUDEP nearly 5 years ago) the being tied as tough at times. Big hug x

I, too, wondered what this thread could be about, was ready for something quite racy.......

I was thinking she maybe wanted to 'get away from it all', not very far from home! I occasionally fantasise about spending 24 hours on my own in a hotels when my ill husband and handicapped son get a bit much. I'd stock up on nice, no cook food, and treats, from M&S, and take my knitting and a good book. In my dreams!!

You could ask on the Tenerife trip advisor forum. www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowForum-g187479-i153-Tenerife_Canary_Islands.html
Good luck

Great minds think alike! Hope you find a place,and have a safe journey home.

That's so funny, my mind was wondering too! It ise worth speaking with owners on airbnb as mentioned. If the room/apartment is free they will have more flexibility then official hotels and chains.

I use Airbnb all the time, in about 4 countries so far. It has always been an economic and pleasant experience. There are reviews posted by previous guests and I would never stay in one that didn't have any reviews, (or that had negative ones, obviously). I would highly recommend going down that route for this occasion.

We have always asked the hotel whether we can use a room for the extra time needed. For a fee, they have always found us a temporary room to use. Never been a problem.

I would ask the locals as previous poster suggested i.e. Cafe owner taxi driver, neighbours on the complex, workers at pool bar, they may know somewhere or is there not a hotel at the airport I'm not familiar with south Tenerife.

I am sure that hotels are quite used to renting rooms for the day!

I also read the title wrongly which reminded me of an incident here.
There is a very nice square in the EU district nice bars and restaurants(if you can afford the prices).
I was walking along the street behind it with DBF which was full of small Hotels. I commented that these must be handy for people visiting the Parliament, DGS gave me a look, and pointed out the rates were hourly, the penny still did not drop until he pointed out the reason in some detail.

Yes its a well known worldwide phenomenon. My sister does Airbnb as do several of DSs friends. Check the website for reviews though as accommodation can be very varied!

We stayed in a hotel in Gulf Del Sur once - the hotel was lovely however on our first night an aeroplane flew over us - wakened me up which promptly caused a very colourful language. After that there were no other problems I just got used to being on the flight path.

Success has fallen through though. Just received an email to say the ship will be sailing away to Italy and they've cancelled our booking - what a bummer. Has anyone heard of Airbnb I've just joined it's a site from all over the world which advertises a room in someone's home.

Ooh you are awful! But I like you!!

Make sure you take earplugs! Golf del Sur is very close to the airport and you can wave to the pilots from your bedroom ;)

Gaun yersel' Elizabeth!

And who knows - I might be lucky

Success at last - found a berthed ship on the Golf Del Sur which has access to rooms from 12 midday. And for all you folks thinking eh room for a day? We only needed it for a base near to the airport where we can freshen up, have a rest and taxi to the airport. Have a nice day everyone.

Yes I thought ooh er missus as well!

Elisabeth why not wait until you are there and ask at the local restaurant when you go out for a meal - they might even be happy to have your luggage and let you sit quietly after lunch- or know of somewhere. If you are renting an appartment privately, most Hôtels won't be so keen to accomodate you just for the day, but you never know. Which part of South Tenerife?

Jane10 and DanniRae my mind was also going down that track!

Phew - I was thinking the same Jane10!!

I can't help you Elizabeth but I wish you success in your search
