@jjgoldstein7310 hello there and welcome to the channel. Thank younsonmuchnfor subscribing to us, we hope you enjoy our content, past, present and future. Great to have you aboard with us, your support means a lot.
Great start looking forward to the next one we have never been to that part of Tennerife. Apartment looked clean .Half expected that family to be on your coach 😂 !
Thank you Loraine, keep an eye out on the next video, I actually captured that moment without realising. I finished editing on it yesterday so it's ready for next week.
So pleased you posted this We are going to Tenerife from Newcastle next month and were thinking of doing the lounge ..going to avoid it now Would rather spend £20 on Burger King than that slop 🙈
@paulsaunders1343 we usually do but it was going to cost a lot more this time round. Gave us the chance to assess the package deal transfer for you all though. It wasn't too bad to be honest.
Used to use Aspire at NCL all the time, but £80 for two OAP with way way over the top. Our daughter did a business from NCL to LHR and the BA lounge at LHR is 100% better.
Really looking forward to this Sorry about the lounge experience guys Down here at the London airports never seem to be queues because the bars in the lounges are normally self service ,even the spirits. Just used the lounge at Gatwick and it was £29 each and loads of choice for food and the lounge was proper chilled out . I reckon aspire Newcastle need to up there game shocking
First we ever did was at Leeds and it was self service. It was a great experience. Newcastle have always had staff serving, probably to keep an eye on those drinking too much.
Interesting, would be good to see what the old rooms are like then. We were quite lucky with the transfer thankfully, not even half full so not many drop offs.
@continentalcoxons I don't think I would either!.. just hope doncaster airport re opens with some good companies i believe Tui are interested in returning. Hopefully it's next year as its 35 minutes away from me. X
@nickyrodgers2670 we've pretty much edited the video, I need to check it over to see all is as it should be as I've had a few issues with some of the files and editing software. If you drop us a DM if you're on insta, FB I can give you early access to the vid as the pool area is on briefly at the start of the vid. If you don't have access to FB or Insta feel free to drop us an email at continentalcoxons@hotmail.com.
We flew on 15th Sept, which was a Sunday. Yeah we just wanted to try it again with it being our anniversary as we knew we wouldn't get to our destination until late. That ruled out getting an evening meal so decided to this instead. It would've been better going to Greggs beforehand. Never been as busy as that mind. Quite sure the 1 person serving is a ploy like, theu couldn't the queues were massive. In a bar or even a shop, if that was the case, they'd get extra people serving. Total money grab.
Hopefully it'll be a bit quieter now the peak season has passed. We found the morning food options were far better than the afternoon so you might be OK. However, it was about a year and a half ago we were in for the morning. Was half as busy as that and the breakfast sandwiches were good. No queues for drinks either. That's definitely the busiest we've seen it.
@continentalcoxons I'll be leaving a review like yous did if they are hopeless etc but not sure that they're bothered as just happy getting people's money
The lounge at Newcastle since the refurb is terrible. I've been three times and the food has been the same each time. And was the same for your visit as well. The breakfast time food is has better options.
@ChaseTheTravelDream thanks for letting us know about that. Yeah, it seems to have gradually got worse over the years. This was definitely our worst experience there so far. Completely agree about the breakfast time being better.
@@continentalcoxons I have a Revolut account which gives access to lounged all around the world for £20 each. For that it's not bad value especially if you have a few drinks. Not worth it for the full price though.
Both very different to one another so it's quite hard to say. The area we stayed in Tenerife was really nice to be fair and so very different to Puerto Rico. Both very nice islands though, especially when you get away from the main resorts
Pleased you got that Aspire review in, looks utterly awful in my opinion like a lounge from the early nineties in every way! Lounges are meant to be places where you don't get loads of people or queues anywhere. Football shirt spotted aswell. Clearly just a money spinner and offers nothing like what a lounge should offer in terms of fayre and ambience. Will not be paying for that so thank you. Aye we had an absolute weapon behind us to G. Canaria last year, these types can afford to travel these days unfortunately. Quite like the apartments, basic but everything you need and comfortable. Cheers guys.
@marksanderson8827 Thanks for the comments Mike. Completely agree about the lounge, hopefully our suffering has helped many others the agony of it. Would've been better just going to normal bars in airport, queues would've been fewer and agree, total money spinner. Yes, budget travel has seen and increase in the rowdy crowd, see it a lot more these days unfortunately.
Our local Airport ❤
@@Livinthedream22 ours too 😁
Great start again guys, nice to see an honest review about the lounge as our experience at EMA was similar. Looking forward to the next vlog
Thank you Michael, pleased you like the honesty as I think that seems to irk a few. We'd be lying to ourselves doing it any other way.
@@continentalcoxons oh completely agree, love the honesty you both provide. In Puerto Rico I’m 3 weeks so we’re going to Frans thanks to your reviews

That would be a very wise choice Sarah, very disappointing it was. Glad it's helped you.
Always get the private transfer. You get to the hotel before the rabble

@@robertwalker1742 I can imagine it is a lot better, I'd imagine most are compared to Newcastle, especially for the price.
A friend of mine owns an apartment in Los giantes I was last here in 2020 lovely little town😂
It's a lovely place with a nice relaxed atmosphere about the place. Hopefully we portray that in the next video.
Really looking forward to this

I agree Darren, Gatwick at the other end of the scale and sort yourself out for everything 😊 Awful rules aswell….. terrible for what you have paid 😮
Watching this from beautiful Corfu, sorry about your crèche flight 😮😮😮 looking forward to more adventures ❤
@kezzacollinson621 hope you enjoyed the video Kezza. Hope you enjoy your time in Corfu too.
Your rooms are the refurbished ones. You wanna see the old ones😆. My jet2 transfer took over 2 hours crazy never seen nothing like it.
Interesting, would be good to see what the old rooms are like then.
We were quite lucky with the transfer thankfully, not even half full so not many drop offs.
Never booked aspire lounge before but the escape lounge at Manchester airport is pretty good. T2 one has good views too.
Don't think we'd do Aspire again after this experience
@continentalcoxons I don't think I would either!.. just hope doncaster airport re opens with some good companies i believe Tui are interested in returning. Hopefully it's next year as its 35 minutes away from me. X

Visit bar sangria for full breakfast, two lovely ladies, very good atmosphere anytime of the day,
When is part 2 out? Heading to el sombrero in 2 days
Next one will be this coming Saturday. Hope you enjoy your holiday.

Hello there, welcome to our little channel
Hi guys 😊
Hello nikki
Do you have any issues getting your drone through Newcastle airport security. Hand luggage or hold. I guess batteries through hand luggage?
@pablouk2001 never had any issues taking the drone anywhere so far thankfully. Yeah take batteries with you in hand luggage and you should be sweet.
When did yous fly ? Was it on a Saturday also. Think the lounge is crap nowadays and you have a point about 1 person serving
We flew on 15th Sept, which was a Sunday. Yeah we just wanted to try it again with it being our anniversary as we knew we wouldn't get to our destination until late. That ruled out getting an evening meal so decided to this instead. It would've been better going to Greggs beforehand. Never been as busy as that mind.
Quite sure the 1 person serving is a ploy like, theu couldn't the queues were massive. In a bar or even a shop, if that was the case, they'd get extra people serving. Total money grab.
@continentalcoxons I'm away to Turkey next Wednesday and in the lounge at 11 am so hopefully nothing like that as I'll not probably go back in again
Hopefully it'll be a bit quieter now the peak season has passed. We found the morning food options were far better than the afternoon so you might be OK.

@stephenlauder-h8e yeah, price has gone up and people are getting less for it so they'll be happy maximising profits
Food in that lounge looked awful 😢 good vid folks
It was pretty woeful mind. Especially for the money you pay.
yeah, luckily someone else paid for it Jamie 😊look forward to next episode
@PeteMarshall-df5gb ha ha, yes on this occasion or it would've just come from the youtube earnings to review for e eryone.

@ChaseTheTravelDream yeah we have revolut. I think the lounge access is on the platinum or premium account possibly?
@@continentalcoxons that's right, Premium is £20 for the lounge access and if you have the Ultra or Metal it's free access.
@ChaseTheTravelDream yeah thought as much. Thi k I've been offered.a free trial for 2 months on platinum. Not much planned at the moment though
Do you prefer Gran Canaria or Tenerife?
Both very different to one another so it's quite hard to say. The area we stayed in Tenerife was really nice to be fair and so very different to Puerto Rico. Both very nice islands though, especially when you get away from the main resorts
I was expecting big but not that big, (thats wot she said 😮) just saying from North of Newcastle 😅
She's a lucky lass

Worst thing a bout the transfer buses no toilets
