You know what they say about all work and no play?
Well, the hardworking and largely unseen Pearly Grey Administration team recently took an afternoon out, away from their desks, for a little welcome R & R.

The whole team left the Resort at midday for the short drive to the only ten-pin bowling alley in the south of Tenerife, “Harley’s Superbowl” in Las Americas, which boasts ten computerized bowling lanes, and where we had hired four lanes to compete for a stunning team trophy, kindly provided by Pauline’s son Lee. (OK, so it had really started life as a golfing trophy, but you wouldn’t know unless you examined it closely….)

The names of the four players in each team had already been drawn out of a hat, so it was on with the bowling shoes and then the fun began…

Some were expert and had clearly been bowling many times before, but to others it was a new and somewhat baffling experience, requiring intense concentration and generating much clapping and cheering from their team-mates but it is fair to say that everyone made a sterling effort and a great time was had by all.

Once the games were over, the entire team sat down for burgers and chips, to discuss what had gone before and to await the prize-giving with breathless anticipation…

Lily was named as the star player, finishing the afternoon with the highest individual score, but the team prize and therefore the dazzling trophy was awarded to Pauline and her team of Anabel, Laura and Mariana.

Altogether, a fun afternoon out for all the Administration team, who are already planning their next excursion…..anyone for golf??

Introducing NEW! to the Body Zone Health & Fitness Club, here in the hotel, THERAPY SHOWERS!….An invigorating way to cool off in between using the sauna and hot jacuzzi.

THERAPY SHOWERS serve to cool the body and at the same time deliver a short, stimulating massage to the lower back, thus improving circulation and revitalizing the mind and body. This is particularly important after a long-distance plane journey where immobility causes blood circulation to slow down and the possible intake of alcohol leads to dehydration, making the blood thicker and more prone to clotting; both risk factors in developing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

The cool water is the perfect compliment after taking a sauna or using the jacuzzi; both very beneficial to our general health and well-being in that they cleanse and eliminate toxins and deeply nourish and massage the muscles of the whole body.

We recommend you repeat the SAUNA, THERAPY SHOWER, JACUZZI, THERAPY SHOWER…or HOT/COLD CIRCUIT several times to gain maximum benefit.

Purchase a Days Pass to the Spa area for only 5€ and take full advantage of this great way to relax and revitalize yourself!

Alternatively purchase a 2-Week or Weekly Gym Membership and enjoy unlimited access to the Spa and free use of towels.

Come get fit with us!…..

As regular visitors to Pearly Grey will know, this beautiful island has much more to offer than the spectacular scenery, and of course, the wonderful weather! There is so much to see and do, and always something of interest taking place.
 News of an exciting development that will be of interest to both regular and first time visitors to Tenerife is the forthcoming opening of the Siam Park, part of the Loro Parque Group. This will be the name of a brand new attraction in the South of Tenerife, in the local borough of Adeje. Covering 145,000m2 land, the park’s theme will be based on an ancient oriental empire, representing numerous cultures from the oriental world. The typical architecture will be set amongst extensive oriental and tropical plants, and will utilize the natural landscape to create rivers, pools and even a beach, with artificial waves for surfers.
There will also be crocodiles, sealions and a children’s jungle park.
There will be several restaurants, where dishes from the many diverse cultures can be enjoyed, including the unique tastes and atmosphere of a Thai village.
The exciting attractions planned include the Kamikaze ride, through spectacular waterfalls and jungle, and the Siam Roller Coaster, the first on the island, and built with the latest in modern safety technology. The Tower of Power will be the star attraction, with a spectacular fall from 60m, apparently to the bottom of a pool filled with sharks…..
For the slightly less adventurous there will be the slow river ride, meandering past the varying flora and architecture within the park.

The opening of the park is planned for the end of 2006 and will definitely be a must for all visitors to Tenerife! Visit our web site for more Tenerife Excursions!

Pearly Grey was up there with the crème de la crème on Sunday 21st May when the annual Tenerife Entertainment awards were announced. Our very own TRACEY and her fellow group the HOT ICE dancers won the coveted award for Best Variety/Original show. The girls stormed the prestigious title with an outstanding amount of votes, many from our loyal Owners who know exactly how brilliant these girls are.

Tracey would like to thank you all for taking the time to vote for her, she is genuinely touched by the support and goodwill messages she has received on the members message board.

The night held an added bonus for Pearly Grey as the famous Bitter & Twisted, Shelley and Tim Lane, who regularly appear at our resort, also won awards. The whole event was a fantastic boost for the Island. Let battle commence for 2007!
