Why ?
Why Canarias ?
Of course for the sun within 4 hours of flight from most european countries. No jet lag. I remember a very pleasant, but very exhausting one week trip in Mexico. It is still EU, with a high level of general and medical security.
Why Tenerife
Because of the many and cheap flights from everywhere, and I hate the long autobus transfers from the airports to my holidays location.
Why Los Cristianos.
I know it is a little too much « tourist ». But you got to know that only between Los Cristianos and Los Gigantes, you are protected from strong wind and rain by the Teide. Almost no mosquitos :-) In the North, much less Sun, much more rain…
Why Paloma beach
Cos’ it’s a good balance between quietness (Little noise, Thick curtains, no neighbor upstairs) and still everything can be accessed walking(Beach, supermarkets,pharmacy, and a pleasant trekking to the nearby hills).
Consider also the 6 lifts (No stairs to the heated and monitored swimming pool)
