All Inclusive Hotels in Playa de las Américas, Tenerife

An all-inclusive board basis generally bundles your meals, snacks through the day and local drinks, both soft and alcoholic, into the price you pay before you travel. In practice that means buffet breakfasts, lunches and dinners, with snacks by the pool in between, and no bar bill to settle at the end of the week. Imported spirits, premium wines and some à la carte dining are often charged extra, so read the board description of each deal carefully.

Booked as a package, all inclusive holidays in Playa de las Américas normally combine your flight, hotel and airport transfer as well. That matters here because the transfer from Tenerife South is so short: you spend very little of your first day on a coach, and your spending money stays for excursions such as Siam Park or Monkey Park rather than meals.

Playa de las Américas itself is the heart of the area, a compact coastal resort with Golf Las Américas and Siam Park both around half a mile away. The seafront around Playa de las Vistas, roughly a mile from the centre, links it on foot towards Los Cristianos, where Playa de Los Cristianos and Honda Beach sit beside the ferry port. This shoreline, with its golf, water parks and long beaches, is where you tend to find the larger resort-style hotels that suit all inclusive stays.

Head the other way and the Costa Adeje coast leads to Playa del Duque and Playa Los Callados, about 2 miles off, a slightly quieter stretch if you want space from the busier streets. Families might weigh up proximity to Aqualand Costa Adeje and the parrot park Loros del Sur, while couples may prefer to be within reach of the Malpaís de la Rasca nature reserve and Punta Rasca Lighthouse, around 5 miles away, for an afternoon walk.

This is genuinely a year-round resort. January and December bring highs of around 21°C and lows of 14°C to 15°C, warm enough for lunch outdoors when Britain is grey. February is the coolest month at 20°C and a little more changeable, with about six rain days. March is the wettest month on the figures, though rain still falls on only five days or so.

April and May are dry and pleasant at 22°C to 23°C. Summer warms steadily to 26°C in July, with virtually no rain, and 28°C in August, the hottest month. October stays at 26°C and November at 24°C, making autumn half-term a popular choice for a week of sun with all your meals sorted.

Fly into Tenerife South rather than Tenerife North: it has direct flights from the UK and is a 14-minute drive, whereas the northern airport has no direct UK service and is around 53 minutes away by road. Package deals normally include this transfer, but check whether it is shared or private if you are travelling with small children.

For families, compare full board with all inclusive honestly; with Siam Park, Aqualand, Monkey Park and Loros del Sur all within about 2.5 miles, you may spend several days out of the hotel. School-holiday weeks are usually priced higher than term time, so if you are free to travel in May, early June or late September, it is worth comparing dates. If you are hunting for cheap all inclusive holidays in Tenerife's Playa las Americas area, flexibility on dates is your best tool.
