We stayed in Gara Suites when we first came to sort our residential visa for living in Tenerife. We stayed there in a private AirBnB for 2 months and found it to be quiet and clean. After getting our visa we stayed in another AirBnB in Los Cristianos centre for 3 months whilst we found and bought our apartment. We’ve now been living here 2 and a half years and love it, we’re literally living our dream. The Armas and Fred Olsen ferries from Los Cristianos go direct to El Hierro, La Gomera and La Palma.
Just been watching this video. It’s made me think of when me and my boyfriend went Tenerife. I had the best holiday ever. So would love to go back. I’ve just text him to hint at him taking me back there 😂 and yes we share our meals too and he always says how mine is always better than his. Keep up the good work you two are amazing xxx
Happy Birthday 🎂 Helen. Your fun attitude to life is a joy to watch. James, you have hit the jackpot with Helen and I am pretty sure Helen feels the same way about you. Take care and stay safe.
Hi guys we stayed in Oro Negro 11-18th Jan £450 each half board,our 4th visit to the hotel,wish we'd known you were so close,we'd have bought Helen a birthday drink,you were opposite our hotel looking at the birds in the trees,take care Steve & Elaine (Wigan)
Happy Birthday to gorgeous Helen for Friday and well done gorgeous James for another wonderful video. You are so good at this, I am sure I am not the only one that feels right there with you. Love watching your brilliant relationship, it warms my heart. x
Another great vid or vlog. Really good insight into places that can sometimes get a bit of stick. I like the costs throughout that give an idea of how much you might spend. Happy Birthday Helen. Hope you had a good one and I hope you both enjoyed your time away together.
Hiya still trawling the back catalogue James and here's one for you it has been proven that birds do in indeed have accents .........very good editing again too and just a perfect watch 😎
That intro was sooooooooo good that I kept going right back to the beginning; over, and over, and over again. Take a bow, James. Take a well-earned bow.
I love the sequence at the start of this video with the walkthrough the airport to the takeoff, very professionally done Must have taken a long time to get that all to tie together, well done that man.
The ferry goes to la gomera which is worth a visit but you need your passport if you go, parque Santiago are self catering apartments have a great time wish I were Thur!.
Happy birthday Helen have a great day 🎂. The seamless editing on the video especially at the beginning was very professional I like it. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.
Venture restaurants, there’s about 10/12 one you can book a helicopter, , they do a brunch in most of them, you can drink all you want for first hour then eat for 2nd hour, about 32 euros each, they are class, street food , Asian , all covered, enjoy
Hi, you two, Happy Birthday Helen, great deal that is, furniture is fine, I wouldn't expect that much for the price, just a room and bathroom really, enjoy your week 👍
El Jaleo where yous had tapas …….just behind you ….the street on the left there’s a restaurant for steaks been there 30yrs called fortunas, best there is
You're right about older chaps working in restaurants. It's always reassuring. The daftest one we had was on the south coast of Portugal. Typical touristy place but right enough. I ordered a dirty great tuna steak and the waiter said, word for word, "That is an excellent choice. It is fresh from the sea, which is there." while pointing at the very sea no more than 10 metres away. Quarteira since you ask.
It was my missus 50th last Saturday James and we're off to Caernarfon this weekend, my treat. I better not tell her you treated Hells bells to a week in the sun! 🤣
Great intro, some work put into that, and it shows. Happy birthday Helen for tomorrow, hope you both have a great holiday. Look forward to another year of your adventures.
Looks lovely there this time of year. Happy birthday to Helen. Nice relaxing vid to watch and your editing is very good. All the best to the both of you. 🙏
Got to tell you how much we enjoy the music tracks & the video it is excellent Helen really helps balance your personality your grumpiness (like me) with Helens happy inquizitive nature love watching your channel xx
Happy Birthday Helen. I hope you have a good Birthday Week. James. The start of the video editing and titles was very good. I'm just starting on Davinci Resolve on Windows but it is quite a hard program but I'm getting there. Enjoy your week away.
I like the *funky* music (hint of classy jazz) you've been using. Especially on the opening segments to your videos *James.* Congratulations on your upcoming birthday *Helen.* Clearly you have a portrait of yourself going "manky" in the attic, as you look at least 5 years younger. Enjoy the sun, it's brass monkey time back in "blighty". 👌
Further up the road from Tony Roma's on the other side is Palms fish and chip takeaway you can sit at the tables outside the pub next door as long as you buy a drink, great fish n chips
Hi James & Helen, Hotel looks awesome, have a wonderful time, thanks for showing us around with you, and happy birthday Helen (for Friday) your both amazing, Alec x
Awesome video as always James,never been to Tenerife but looks lovely.Hope you have a fanastic break and Helen a brilliant birthday Friday. Can't wait for rest of video
Bargain. Made me laugh when you saw the pool and said " we wont be doing any of this". Thats me ! You two make us laugh as you are so genuine. Keep it up and Happy Bday Helen!
Enjoy your birthday trip Helen....we love Tenerife. Recommend a trip to La Gomera by ferry from Los Cristianos, lots of little cafes and arts and crafts places to visit.
Happy Birthday to Helen, what a great present , a holiday in Tenerife. Great video as usual, very entertaining, had my first girls holiday in las americas in 1986, so loving seeing this. Have a wonderful time.
Happy Birthday. Helen! "Dated but clean" is how I roll! Love that you think & say Helen is gorgeous, James. Bit of unsolicited advice: if it is a gift, y'might want to downplay saying how cheap it is. It's like giving with one hand and taking away with the other. Cheers...
I just want to say "you make a lovely couple". you really do get on together. I can see you're made for each other and you're going to be together forever ❤❤ 🎉🤗
There are six different parks Santiago‘s. Their named after old man, Santiago, who built all of those apartments back in the 70s. They were primarily tourist complexes, but in recent years have been bought out by private individuals who rent them to visitors. - the family owned the vast majority of the apartments. That includes the commercial Parc, Santiago, six.
What a fantastic time you guys are having. Sometimes Spar has some great pastries and sandwiches at low prices.Looking forward to more of your week there.
Is it a dead dog?, is it a table cloth?, it's a s w e a t r a g...😂😂 You two are bloody barmy, love you both, make me chuckle no end. They do beach volleyball on Brid south beach in summer, you'll have to go down and do some commentating! xx just have s great time xx😊
😆✨James: "That's the door to the room where murderers come through - Don't kick it in, Helen!" 😆✨ LOVE IT! You two make a very handsome (GorgeouS) couple, so ignore any spiteful 'knockers'. Thanks for another fun vlog.. Cheers both! 🍻✨
My favourite Canary island! Enjoyed your vlog! Take a trip on the ferry to La Gomera. Have a great birthday on Friday Helen, plenty of places to celebrate 🥰
The prices people pay for holidays frighten me. A thousand is a massive amount of money in my world. Any road up, I've had to come back to Newton Abbot to get repairs to my van, and now I've got a right list of repairs. While I was waiting for them to do the MOT, I was sheltering in Costa when a female I've known for some years, spotted me and spent over an hour trying to throw herself at me. Obviously she saw me as a retirement plan on account of hitting the wall. Now I've got to wait until next Thursday to get the van repaired. It's no joke being stuck in Newton Abbot, a place that civilisation forgot and at the age of sixty-nine being pursued by some useless old foo foo. I wonder whatever happened to my real life. Stone me what a day. I'm glad somebody's having a good time 😂
Oh The Shining is a great film. Have you seen many Hitchcock films? My husband and I love watching Alfred's work. Enjoy your night. A few more sleeps before birthday party time haha.
Just discovered you on TH-cam. We live in the Canary Islands, and it was interesting, listening to your comments . For meals, try off piste a little. Get off the main strip where the prices are higher and explore the side streets. Smaller places with smaller prices but still good food.
Thank you everyone for the lovely comments and birthday wishes. We will reply to them later this evening. We're off to Siam water park now! 😬😊
Have a nice day you lovely couple and happy birthday t Helen tmoz 🥳🎉
Go see the bird of prey show at jungle Park. It's fantastic.
Helen &james your off to spam Park don't forget to show us a big wave.strap on the bikini we don't want you ending up on the nudists beach.lol
If you came across any spam park references forget it.was supposed to be SIAM WATER PARK,it's that stupid pre dick tive text do dar thing.lol.
Muchas felicidades Helen, legally old enough to have your first pint.

Saturday night entertainment. Your videos have kept me company on what would have been an otherwise boring evening. Thank you😁
Happy Birthday 🎂 Helen. Your fun attitude to life is a joy to watch. James, you have hit the jackpot with Helen and I am pretty sure Helen feels the same way about you. Take care and stay safe.
Thank you so much 😊❤
Have to agree, she's the business. Rock on guys, keep on keeping on.
Love the way Helen wanders off and leaves you behind xx
Will you ever marry 😂
@@judithgittins4625
Why get married and spoil things they are enjoying life .😂
Happy Birthday Helen.🎉
I hope you really enjoyed that holiday. You had all the ingredients to make it a great one.😅
Thank you for sharing Guys❤❤
Really clean in fact, a lot cleaner than some of the rooms we’ve been in in England.
Very Nice!!!!! Very Nice indeed.
Fabulous Birthday 🎂 present 🎁
Nice hotel, sunshine and fun😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
PERFECT 🥰 💞
This is my favourite video. I play the opening over and over. Very clever editing, music, and story telling into. You should do more of this.

Really like the editing at the beginning. Made it something special.
I love the sequence at the start of this video with the walkthrough the airport to the takeoff, very professionally done
Must have taken a long time to get that all to tie together, well done that man.
Great opening sequence and music,, very clever and imaginative editing. Works really well.
When I'm feeling a bit low I watch you and Helen you put a big smile on my face .thank you keep up the good work ❤
Very nice - sunshine in January. What a boost compared to frozen January at home. Enjoy.
Brilliant, thanks for sharing.
Happy returns Helen . As I said before just enjoy!!!! Dave

I couldn't help but notice the absence of mobility scooters. Happy birthday for Friday, Helen.
Great intro, some work put into that, and it shows. Happy birthday Helen for tomorrow, hope you both have a great holiday. Look forward to another year of your adventures.
Thank you 😍

Happy Birthday Helen. I hope you have a good Birthday Week.
James. The start of the video editing and titles was very good.
I'm just starting on Davinci Resolve on Windows but it is quite a hard program but I'm getting there.
Enjoy your week away.
I like the *funky* music (hint of classy jazz) you've been using. Especially on the opening segments to your videos *James.*
Congratulations on your upcoming birthday *Helen.*
Clearly you have a portrait of yourself going "manky" in the attic, as you look at least 5 years younger.
Enjoy the sun, it's brass monkey time back in "blighty".
👌
Thank you for the compliment 😊
Thanks James for another great video loved the intro..and Happy birthday Helen for Friday xx
Great Music at the start.. and it’s a awesome hotel. I was expecting a dump. And happy birthday Helen.
Thank you 😍
Happy Birthday to a happy soul 💛 Love watching you both. ❤
Great timing. I was literally looking at this report last night for some winter sun.
Liked the cinematic introduction. These videos are good because we live in Australia, and are too old for long haul flights now. Keep it up. ❤🇦🇺
reminded me of the start of the movie scarface bizarrely enough?
Thank you, I love making cinematic style videos so will be doing more in future
Have a great time in Tenerife,,,happy birthday 🎂....vids are fantastic, keep up the great work you guys....❤❤
Further up the road from Tony Roma's on the other side is Palms fish and chip takeaway you can sit at the tables outside the pub next door as long as you buy a drink, great fish n chips

Bit of unsolicited advice: if it is a gift, y'might want to downplay saying how cheap it is. It's like giving with one hand and taking away with the other. Cheers...
Have a fab holiday celebrating your birthday Helen! We fancy going back to Tenerife but it’s pricing itself out of the market at the moment.
Everything seems to be going up at the moment 😞
I just want to say "you make a lovely couple". you really do get on together. I can see you're made for each other and you're going to be together forever ❤❤ 🎉🤗

The ferry port has a roof top cafe where you can get something to eat that's cheap as chips, an hidden gem.
What a fantastic time you guys are having. Sometimes Spar has some great pastries and sandwiches at low prices.Looking forward to more of your week there.
Hope you both have a lovely holiday, Happy Birthday Helen for Friday. x
