Property in Playa de Las Americas is often criticised for being older and in a worse state of repair than other areas, such as Golf del Sur. Another criticism is that Las Americas property is often smaller and less luxurious than newer built properties. Both of these criticisms are often justified. Tenerife has been undergoing a process of self improvement, and part of that initiative has meant that planning permissions for newer properties is only granted if they are of sufficient size and quality. As Las Americas properties tend to be of an earlier stock, they were built with the intention of maximising revenue from a particular plot. New developments in very popular places like Amarilla Golf are much larger and tend to have features like marble floors and air conditioning. So if you are looking for a luxury property in Las Americas it can be quite difficult to find – although not impossible.
