ANIMATIon
Tranquillity is very important for us, as much by the pool as in the restaurant. Therefore, we have neither animation nor music by the poolside.
During the summer holidays, we sometimes do organise some animation on special request of the guests.
On Wednesday evenings, we have a BBQ in the restaurant with live Canarian music and on Friday evenings, we have music and dance with our resident keyboard player, Marc Morgan.
Sundays at noon we have an extravagant BBQ – buffet by the pool where we serve King Prawns and Chateaubriand. We also have this buffet in the evenings during the high season, accompanied by a fantastic Flamenco show.

EXACT LOCATION OF WESTHAVEN BAY
Westhaven Bay is situated on the most southern point of the island, Costa del Silencio.
We have the most unique spot, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean. Every evening you can enjoy the most stunning sunsets. Tenerife is a volcanic island. The natural beaches, such as "El Medano" beach, have black lava sand. There are also artificial beaches with golden sand transported from the African Sahara desert – one to be found in Los Cristianos in the south and the other in Las Teresitas, Santa Cruz in the north. Both beaches are easily accessible by car or public transport. The nearest (rocky) beach is in Las Galletas, the quaint fishing village at walking distance from Westhaven Bay.

EXCURSIONS
Excursions may be pre-booked upon reserving your accommodation or whilst you are here. We sell almost all of the excursions here from our reception at the same price you would pay at the box-office, but with the added advantage of not having to wait in a queue. You often find that the queues can be rather long at the venue itself, but you can just walk straight in if you have pre-purchased your ticket. We can arrange all trips for you.... attraction parks, boat-trips, shows etc.
FIXED ARRIVAL - DEPARTURE DATES
There are NO fixed arrival or departure days.
You can arrive or leave any day of the week. Your stay is thus not necessarily for 7 nights but can also be for 2, 5 or 12 nights.

GAMES
Be warned; there are some street-wise "thieves" who easily con unsuspecting tourists out of a good deal of money with their guessing games. They are mostly to be found on the promenades enchanting the gathering crowd with their tricks. Normally, a small object is being hidden under one of three upturned jars and the tourist has to guess where it is. The starting bet is usually around €30. Do not be conned! First, they will do a "fake run" choosing their own ("planned") friends from the public. Of course, the team-players picked from the audience and participating in the farcical display will actually WIN...... because they are part of the "troupe"! When it comes to your turn, you will lose everything!
