I have been to them all. Fuerteventura only for a day trip. not my cup of tea looks lovely but a bit quiet for me.
Lanzarote is smaller quieter than Tenerife,probably the dearest of them all,but no high rise hotel's 3-4 max by law.

Tenerife, can be pretty wild in some areas,but if you watch where you go and what time of year. Plenty to do though for all ages.

Puerto Rico has a lot of climbing,hills etc.

Playa Del Ingles/ Masplasmos isn't so hilly. lovely sand dunes there....nudist beach too if you fancy it lol.

We went back to Playa Del Ingles last year. we went self catering first time in 4 years.
We decided we will. go ALL inclusive next time, as it wasnt that much dearer...if any.

All inclusive, you get all your meals and drinks in cluded. so if you have kids who want fed and watered all day,and you drink your selves. It would be worth thinking about.
Entertainment for all ages too

holidaytruths.com or holiday reviews will give you an idea on the hotels.

Puerto Del Carmen is lovely for children.My grandchildren used to go to school there.They call it the golden mile. Annie

It is hilly, but if you stay on the bottom level you'll be fine. The view from the top is fantastic, but sooo many steps!

Never been Catherine but both daughters and families have lots of times and all agree Lanzarote is the best.

Hope wherever you go you have a great time!

the thing with pertorico is its so hilly and with young Harry having to walk or get taxi's back up the hill...

Definitely Puerto Rico, lots of nice places to stay, we have been about three times over the years.

Puerto Rico has lovely beaches, cheap food, cheap drink and all year round sunshine. What more do you want!!

The only downside is that it is built into the hillside, so lots of steps, but the taxis are cheap!

Hello Catherine,

We love Puerto Rico on Gran Canaria, but have a look at http://www.canaryforum.com/

I quite like Gran Canaria,but saying that my daughter has a villa in Lanzarote so we always go there. Annie

Catherine been to both Landsthingy and Feathingy both ideal for families .....

if you could be so kind-looking at a winter holiday-
I have never been but was wondering which is the best canary island for a family-and places self catering to stay.
thanks
catherine
