It’s easy to think that there’s no such thing as an easy life when travelling with two little ones. Think: single mum with one excited six-year-old, one nine-year-old and luggage for three! The thought can feel pretty daunting. Am I going to have time to relax? Where and how will I do a workout? What I discovered is that, when you’re at Wyndham Residences in Tenerife, you can almost guarantee an easy life – and a sunny one at that!
A WELCOME ARRIVAL
When the taxi driver told me we had just a 15-minute transfer from the airport, you could hear my sigh of relief. The flight from London Gatwick to Tenerife South may have only been four hours, but there’s nothing worse for kids than another long journey. Thankfully, we arrived at our superior two-bedroom apartment in good time, and headed straight to the on-site restaurant for a welcoming atmosphere of live music and a vast menu of scrumptious Mediterranean dishes (with plenty of options for the little ones). With bellies full, it was straight back to the room, where the kids jumped excitedly into our private hot tub. With a view of the ocean and the local town of Playa de las Americas in sight, they had the most fantastic first night while Mummy unpacked and had a much-needed sit down.
