Description
The Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off the coast of northwestern Africa, are rugged volcanic isles known for their black- and white-sand beaches. Tenerife, the largest island, is dominated by the sometimes-snowy active volcano Mt. Teide, which has its own astronomical observatory and is part of Teide National Park. Tenerife hosts a huge pre-Lent Carnival in the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

About Alexandre Hotel La Siesta
Just a short walk from the beaches on the southern side of Tenerife, the 4 star Alexandre Hotel La Siesta enjoys a central location within the holiday resort of Playa de las Americas. On site there’s a large, heated outdoor pool, as well as pool just for children, surrounded by an expansive sun terrace. It’s such a large area there’s a bridge built across to the pool bar, making keeping refreshed that little bit easier. The hotel spa is also open daily and features a plunge pool, sauna and hot tub. For those searching for something a little more strenuous, there’s also a well-equipped gym.
Each evening the lobby bar plays host to musicians, dancers and singers, and is a popular spot after you’ve enjoyed a meal at the buffet restaurant or an al fresco barbeque, an event the hotel holds weekly.
