Perfect 😃
Pros:

I stayed here with friends last week
Absolutely perfect
Well equipped apartments
Extremely clean
Nice comfy clean beds
Big balcony
The pool is great
And the onsite bar /cafe was really nice.
The breakfasts are lovely
The onsite staff are very approachable and if you have a blip soon sort it out .
The apartment are right at the top of gran canaria but the views are amazing and there's a Europa shopping centre 5 minutes away with good well priced restaurant
Try Amadeus €14.95 for a three courses .
Don't worry about getting about the taxis are cheap and lots of them
We shall most definitely be returning if only to see the cheeky roosters who live on the side of the hill 😃great fun ...

Pros:

Very nice views, clean, good service, close by car to the Amadores beach

Cons:

The kitchenette could have been better furnished - t only includes the basic equipment and if you look for a drop of oil or a pinch of salt you won’t find it and need to buy everything

Not worth the money. 2* at best.
Pros:

Such a shame to give a bad review as stayed in 2009 and that was much different. We stayed here for 9 nights. Cleaners only changed towels twice. Despite them being soaked as the shower leaked. So had to keep towels on the floor. Towels were very old with holes and bleach stains. We asked reception for new towels and they said no!!! Sheets was not changed once!!! Beds were like ironing boards, Very noisy all through the night. Very little sleep any night. Also charged 3.50 euros a day to park our rented car!

Lovely hotel, clean and welcoming, great value for money
Pros:

Lovely hotel, received a really friendly welcome. Rooms are clean and have everything you need. Hotel is nice, didn't eat at the hotel so can't comment on this. If you're looking for a clean, friendly place to stay would recommend Balcon Del Mar, really good value for money

Pros:

Volevo sottolineare la cortesia dello staff, per un mio errore ho effettuato la prenotazione con booking per 2 adulti tralasciando di inserire anche 2 minori, mi hanno fatto notare lo sbaglio ma hanno lasciato lo stesso la prenotazione senza chiedere la differenza dovuta. Non è da tutti e li ringrazio di nuovo. Buon Natale

Lovely place.
Pros:

My friend and I spent six nights here in November. We had a two bedroom apartment and found it to be very clean. Everything we needed was in the apartment, apart from one thing.... Sunbeds! The terrace is huge and could accomodate them easily. it is just our preference when on holiday. Otherwise it was a lovely place with friendly staff. Oh and our entertainment was watching all the cats with their kittens.

Relaxing and quiet place to stay, plenty of sun beds.
Pros:

The place was clean and friendly but no bar after 8pm, no restaurant and no entertainment. Room cleaned every 3 days but don't make beds, was there for 11 days and had to ask for bed linen to be changed on the 9th day
