Paradero and Paraiso del Sol Change Meal Arrangements

The Paradero and Paraiso del Sol located in the popular resort of Playa de las Americas in Tenerife have informed us that any guests booked on bed and breakfast, or half board, will be provided with their buffet meals at the Bonanza Aparthotel.  This is solely due to the low occupancy levels currently experienced, which occured also in 2009.   This arrangement will be in placed until the 30 June 2010.

However, should occupancy levels increase then they will revert to the original arrangement of guests taking breakfast and dinner at the Paraiso del Sol.

Corona Holidays have advised any clients who are staying at the Paradero or Paraiso del Sol of this situation.

Abama Golf & Spa Resort - Tenerife Holidays

The Abama Golf and Spa Resort is located in the resort of Guia de Isora, Tenerife.  A 5 Star luxury hotel [part of the Ritz Carlton group] in a quiet and privileged location, just 5 minutes walk from the beach.

For clients who are visiting the Abama Golf and Spa Resort during the months of June and July 2010, you may like to know the following information regarding 2 of the restaurants:

Kabuki Restaurant will be closed for the month of June.

MB Restaurant will be closed during the month of July.  

This is due to the fact that the staff are taking their annual holidays and therefore the restaurants need to be closed.  All other restaurants at the hotel will remain open as usual [and there are another 7 to choose from].
