Accommodation Hotel Botanico is the main hotel for anyone attending and is available at a discount rate of:- Double room used as a Single 140 euros per night +7% taxes Double room for two people is 190 euros per night +7% taxes Please note if you book the Hotel Botanico you will have to organise and pay for flights to Tenerife as well as organise and pay for transfer across the island. Puerto de la Cruz is in the north of the island and the main airport is in the south which is over an hour between the two. I normally buy a package deal through Jet2 or similar and with them it is all included Flights, transfers and accommodation. I usually stay in the Casablanca apartments which are self catering. We do have 3 evening meals included with the convention and there are lots of places to eat close to the apartments so I tend not to have meals included in the cost of my holiday although sometimes you can find some good deals. They also do meals at the restaurant inside the apartments. There are lots of other hotels etc. where you can stay. Just make sure they are not too far away from everything. Some of the cheaper ones are right on the outskirts of the town which means it could cost you in taxis each day to get anywhere. I have just costed the Casablanca Apartments for a 10 night stay and it is about £500 per person based on 2 sharing which includes flights and transfers. This is currently cheaper than it was in 2018. I will be staying in the Casablanca apartments in 2022. I will be on my own so if there is anyone who would like to share an apartment then please contact me steve@wildparrotsupclose.com Access to Convention Centre and Evening Events There are free coaches from Hotel Botanico and other hotels for the evening events as well as the convention centre. From the Casablanca Apartments it is a fairly easy walk to the convention centre, Hotel Botanico, Town centre and to the place where you can catch a free road train to Loro Parque. Loro Parque The largest Parrot Park in the world. Lots of Parrots and much more to see. Most convention attendees usually spend a lot of their spare time here. There is plenty to see and lots of places to eat. Entry to Loro Parque is free, as many times as you want between 24th September and 3rd October 2022. Other Tourist Attractions There are lots of places to go in Tenerife. Last time I was there we hired a car and went across the island including close to Mount Teide. Siam Park is a large water park in the south of the island also owned by Loro Parque. It is well worth going to and trips can be arranged easily including transport from the north. There is a Botanical Garden close to Hotel Botanico and there are some free flying parrots there. These are probably escapees from Loro Parque over the years. Some can be seen flying around the town as well. Booking I have booking forms available for anyone to book directly with Loro Parque. Please see PDF’s for these forms. Please note:- I do not receive any payment or gratuity for advertising this convention. I just like to make it known to everyone who likes parrots and hopefully we can meet in Tenerife and have some fun at the convention and if you would like to join me on any excursion to other places on the island then we can share costs equally. I know I will be meeting up with some of the other regulars of this event. More Advise This convention has been taking place every four years since 1986 which makes this the 10th Convention. I missed the first (1986) and the third (1994) conventions but have been to all the others so this will be my eighth. (1990, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018) so if you need any advise in any way regarding this convention please ask steve@wildparrotsupclose.com Best advise is to book as early as possible as there are about 850 attendees from all over the world and it seems to get more and more popular so don't miss out. | ||||
