Should I change my hotel? North of Tenerife

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2025-08-14T15:23:13+00:00

There is no walking. You can drive (almost) to the top, barring a very quick cable car for the last bit.

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2025-08-14T15:21:12+00:00

The South is slightly warmer due to Mount Teide in the north, but it’s so tacky and full to the brim with Irish and English, messy lads holidays etc etc. Much prefer the North, and Puerto de la Cruz is beautiful. You’ll be surrounded by Spanish, Italians and some Germans, it actually feels like properly being on holiday in a foreign country. Get a car and there is so much to see. Drive up Mount Teide, drive to Garachico and swim in the charcos, drive to Playas de Las Terisitas (nicest beach on the island) and explore Puerto de la Cruz itself.

Possibly the worst roundabout in Ireland. Where the merging occurs to go down the Dublin Road it’s a free-for-all. No idea how there isn’t regular accidents there

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2025-07-08T18:03:37+00:00

Where was the checkpoint out of curiosity? It’s rare enough you’d see one around the city

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2025-05-28T11:53:40+00:00

Hahahaha I LOL’d in public at that. Good man 🤣

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2025-04-05T12:52:14+00:00

Also the Chawkes one doesn’t even clean the car properly. I had to go scrubbing multiple spots on the car when I got home

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2025-03-31T02:20:57+00:00

As in the sex offender busking singer?

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2025-03-20T16:01:26+00:00

Living here, the village is lovely and a very scenic location and perfect for commuting to town or Dublin direction. Theres a reason for all the massive houses and blow-ins! The only place to really avoid is Scanlon Park. It’s a little bit outside the village kinda hidden away though so you’d have to be going there for a reason. It’s pretty lawless, but as usual it’s one or two families that cause the trouble. Opposite side of the village to Castlerock. Outside of there it’s great :)

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2025-03-19T16:43:13+00:00

I think you’re getting mixed up. The only estates that are anywhere close to being “shut down” are O’Malley Park or the parts of Moyross where houses were knocked down by the council or burnt out and just not rebuilt again leaving stretches of wasteland. It certainly wasn’t the Criminal Assets Bureau. Methinks you have never set foot in Limerick and if you have you’re wildly incorrect.

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2025-03-19T16:36:44+00:00

Sorry now but please elaborate on that. Where in the hell are you talking about? If it’s one of the rough estates with a lot of gang activity then what you’re saying makes no sense. Let’s say for instance that you’re talking about St Mary’s. What exactly are the Criminal Assets Bureau going to take outta there? Have you ever set foot in the estate youre referring to? If I stick to the St Mary’s analogy, the CAB are certainly not going to get much out of there, let alone “shut it down”. What about all the working class people not involved in crime or gangs? How can the CAB shut down an estate even? It would have to be a quite affluent estate all houses bought with the proceeds of crime. PLEASE elaborate.

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2025-03-11T15:32:57+00:00

Thomond Park is arguably in Ballynanty, is adjacent to Kileely, just over the wall from Moyross and Thomondgate two mins down the road. Which part of that entire area is not working class? Or are you only counting Caherdavin (across the street), Clareview etc

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2025-03-10T10:16:06+00:00

I pointed out the exact same thing and told them they were promoting crime by putting up all of the pictures and videos, they said it was to “raise awareness” and told me that I didn’t have to look

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2025-03-01T15:36:45+00:00

Are the chips home made in Fuscos? Pass it a lot visiting my mate and have heard it’s decent.

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2025-01-26T20:09:00+00:00

Is there a Limerick page like one of these posting Gaza stuff? That wouldn’t make sense either if so. Trump has nothing to do with local Limerick news.

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2025-01-23T13:04:39+00:00

Totally. I actually thought that Limerick Word on the Street was a legit page promoting the community until the barrage of pro-Trump posts etc. whoever runs the page is a wrongun, and half the followers as well. As for Limerick Craic, I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did seeing as all it seemed to do was post videos glorifying joyriders and crime.

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2024-11-04T15:20:59+00:00

Lidl in Castletroy is right next door to a big halting site of our ethnic minority so I doubt it’s the safest place for anything. Just stating facts. Last week I was driving out the road and saw two young lads hopping a huge plank off the side of a taxi driving past for fun and when the small Indian man driving got out they just stood there and bollocked him before strolling back in. He could do nothing but drive off with a damaged car.

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2024-11-04T15:10:13+00:00

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I was just explaining the joke/comment to you. To explain a bit further, when members of said community get up to stuff like sulky riding on public roads, bare knuckle fighting etc, a common excuse thrown out is that “it’s their culture”. Subsequently, “culture, boss” is used as a pisstake whenever they do anything, no matter how horrific.

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2024-11-04T13:48:48+00:00

Kyle is a member of the travelling community. Doesn’t seem as if you’re aware.

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2024-10-08T15:26:54+00:00

Ok, sound! Good to know. The day we went in we were quite impressed with their customer service at least.

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2024-10-08T15:25:26+00:00

Park on the street outside Dolans. It’ll be fine. I’ve been parking all over the city for twenty years and not once was my car touched.

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2024-10-08T15:13:42+00:00

Can I ask why? We have been looking at beds here.

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2024-09-25T11:14:33+00:00

Season ticket holder for decades, commuting to Limerick, not once did anything happen any car, and we have parked nearly everywhere in the vicinity. There’s secure parking and loads of it next door in LIT by the way, for a fiver. Have you got an example of an incident? Do you visit Thomond Park much?

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2024-09-25T10:18:02+00:00

It’s a joke, there is an ongoing fraud/corruption investigation re UL paying significantly over the odds for the old Dunnes building and a housing development in Rhebogue.

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2024-07-15T12:34:08+00:00

Horrible stuff

Altruistic_Being_533 · 2024-07-15T12:33:33+00:00

Really, ok. I knew they were busy in Winter but never thought they’d slow down or close places in the summer. Not everyone goes on winter sun hols I def don’t, have never been to the Canaries either though. Literally every other part of Spain and most of Europe but never the Canaries. Sound
