The Apartment
Please use the "Apartment Gallery" button on the main website to see some photos taken inside the apartment.
The apartment was purchased in August 2007, and fully redecorated with most of the "white goods" also being replaced at this time.
Since then there have been some major refurbishments, with virtually nothing remaining from 2007.
The Apartment in General
For your added security & peace of mind, the apartment & contents are protected by a full alarm system.
In 2013 we added 2 independent air conditioning systems, one for the bedroom, and the other in the living room, followed in 2014 by a washing machine
which was added at the request of several of our guests, as well as a new fridge & freezer in 2019.
We have a different, and superior, TV system to most of the other apartments in Yucca Park. Our system is internet based, and therefore gives a better
picture which is not weather dependant, and also gives more (70+) UK channels, which can be viewed on the wall mounted Sony Smart TV.
We also provide our own internet Wi-Fi system within the apartment, for which there is a small charge. There is a phone in the apartment which
can be called from the UK. You can also make calls back to the UK at 10 cents per minute (as of Dec 22). There is
no timer and you are asked to put any money due for phone calls into the "Honesty Box". You will be given the full phone number before
arrival, and you are welcome to receive calls from friends or family.

The large fully air-conditioned bedroom has a double bed with excellent memory-foam mattress, large bespoke wardrobes with drawers & shelves, large fitted
wardrobes (containing 2 FREE TO USE security safes), bed reading lights, ceiling fan, dressing table with illuminated mirror and double glazed "French

Yucca Park
Built in 1989 and renovated in 2003, the vast majority of the 98 apartments on this complex were timeshare, although most are now under private
ownership. This is one of a very few apartments in Yucca Park that has never been timeshare, and we have no association with any
timeshare operators, so no meetings, salesmen etc - this is a wholly privately owned apartment. The complex has the following facilities :
-
3 swimming pools, including a children's pool
-
FREE sun beds and parasols in the area round the swimming pools
-
Poolside bar which does a good selection of snacks, as well as drinks.
-
Laundry (Coin operated)
-
Pool Table
-
Wi-Fi internet access available from the bar free for customers.
-
Supermarket only a hundred yards along the road.
-
Taxi rank 50 yards from the complex.
-
Close to many superb restaurants and bars, but the complex remains an oasis of peace.
The area of Fañabe - Nearby Attractions
Fañabe is the classier part of Tenerife, while remaining a short walk to most facilities. It is
served by the local bus service (nearest bus-stop is about 500m away) and also has a medical centre nearby.
It is sometimes hard to believe Fañabe is only a few miles from "Veronicas" as the two areas bear little resemblance to each
other. While Veronicas, and Las Americas in general attract the "lager brigade", Fañabe in contrast is much more upmarket,
and peaceful in nature. It has plenty of bars & restaurants etc. but caters more to a more family orientated holiday visitor.
Just some of the many attractions in the area are:
-
The beach - roughly 200m away
-
Del Duque beach 5 minute walk
-
Various water sports are available
-
Ten-Pin Bowling Alley - the only alley in South Tenerife is about 100m away
-
Many bars & restaurants are within easy reach
-
Various shopping centres from cheap & cheerful to the extremely upmarket
-
Twice weekly market is only a 5 minute walk away
-
Lots of coastal walks, many reasonably flat
-
Golf Course within 4km
-
"Veronicas" for the top nightspots is about 2km (5 minutes by taxi or 30 minute walk)
-
Siam Park, Europe's premier Water
Park is only 5 minutes by car, and has a bus service available. Click

for their website with all the details
-
Siam Mall, a fantastic Shopping Mall. For more details click
