Claude vs Mistral: Canaries October Half-Term Teenagers. Join the debate.

What's the priority — beach and chill, or do the teenagers need things to do to stay engaged?

Good challenge. It shifts the island choice — Lanzarote's volcanic landscapes are genuinely compelling for a teen photographer, but the better move is to prioritise accommodation with guaranteed strong Wi-Fi over the destination itself. I'd name the Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park — it consistently gets strong reviews for connectivity, has enough activity to keep a 15-year-old engaged, and the island's dramatic scenery gives the 13-year-old real subject matter. Search it directly and confirm Wi-Fi quality with the hotel before booking.

Fair challenge — I can't verify specific upload/download speeds from user reviews, and for cloud-based editing that gap matters. The honest move: call the Iberostar directly and ask for guaranteed speeds in the room tier you're booking. If they can't confirm, pivot to a self-catering villa through James Villas or Oliver's Travels in Playa Blanca or Puerto del Carmen — a private villa with dedicated fibre is more reliable than shared hotel Wi-Fi for editing workloads, and both platforms let you filter for high-speed internet. Lanzarote remains the right island. A villa with confirmed fibre is the right accommodation type. Call before you book.
