What's the best way to get from Tenerife south airport to Los Cristianos?

Never had a problem with resorthoppa, tried the coach option a few times and luckily had 3 stops before our stop in Los Cristianos. Its similar to those 1970's package holidays where you wait for the flights and passengers to all get on the coach before it sets off. If you are the first on the coach you may have a 30ish mins wait before everyone is on. Its ok if you are not in a hurry or if you are staying in Golf De Sur as this is typically the first area they stop at - they drop you at your apt/hotel. Los Cris is normally the next stop

Last time we went for the ''max 4 stop option, a little more expensive but thought next time we may have lots more stops and didnt want to wait for all to get on the coach. There was no minibus to take us so they laid on one of their Mercs and off we went direct to our apartment, just like a taxi but just the 2 of us.

Resorthoppa office is in the arrivals terminal, come out of arrival doors and while still in the airport, turn right as if you are heading for the taxis and their office is on the left just before you exit the terminal.

Never had a complaint about them and you can always find a 'promo code' to make the price a little more attractive. The downside for some is that you have to phone them the day before you return (assuming you use them to get back to the airport) to get a pickup time at your location. They all speak English so communication is never a problem.

One time on returning to Tenerife I thought be clever so got 60 Euros (3 X 20's )out of cash machine at East Midlands Airport. Thats bus fare sorted.

Arrived and waited for bus--- lugage stowed in hold-- bloody driver would not change 20. Was not a happy bunny. Had to push past everyone to get off bus and then had to bang on side of bus to get the prat to open side to retrieve lugage.

Couple on bus offered to pay my fare but I was to angry and embarrassed so stormed off to get taxi.

I recently discovered there is a shop in airport where I could have got a Bono Card!!! Always wise after the event.

If you are new to Tenerife I recommend a taxi to your apartment.

The buses are clean and have Air con, so very good.

Make sure you lock everything away when you are not around and beware of pickpockets and bag snatchers. they distract you and are very skilled. Same as anywhere you get people with a bit to spend.

Do not carry all your holiday money with you. Leave it in the bank and use cash machines to draw enough for each day or lock it in a safe (with bank cards).

Have a great holiday.

You'd have to be absolutely crackers to even contemplate queuing up to catch the bus, and then tramp around Los Cristianos with suitcases looking for your accommodation in the heat of the middle of the day, just to save a maximum of 20€.

Get a taxi!

Although we always use the bus because we know exactly where we are going and only have hand luggage, I would advise a newcomer to take a taxi if you don't know where you are going. Taxi drivers know where most of the apartments are.
