This is the second time we have stayed here and it is a perfect, good value location if what you want is a nice pool and quiet accomodation. You can walk to the beach (although it is around 40 mins) or get a cab to Playa de Ingles for about £3.00.

The bungalows are pretty and set in nice grounds but they are a little shabby, so if you like your doors to shut and a well provided kitchen, this may not be the place for you, but if you want a cheap stay in a nice, quiet, pretty location, then it's well worth a visit.

We didn't rate the food, but there are good places to eat nearby (particularly in Maspalomas on the beach) and also Faro 2 shopping centre is near so knocking up the odd meal yourself is easy.

Hi I went there for X-mas 2005 for a week with my bf
In general i had a good time there but there were a few downfalls as wel..I'd briefly review the bungalow.. Sorry about my english..

1. the bungalow
it's very pretty and quiet. one big swimming pool is kept clean and nice..
we relaxed all day for a few days.. but it's not ideal for family with young kids..it could be boring because there's not much to do other than chilling out by the pool..

2. Staffs..
they are not that friendly and don't speak good english.. because most of the tourists there are germans..One thing I'm very surprised with is that they don't clean the room two days a week!! we couldn't get fresh and dry towel one day.. :-(

3. Location..
there're plenty of taxis and it's cheap.but for bus you have to walk about 20 minutes for the bus stop... it's quite isolated from other places and not much going on around.. but if you intend to play golf at the golf field next door, this is the perfect location.. To Maspalomas beach, it takes about 20~30 minutes on foot.. Supermarket is about 15 minutes away from the bungalow.

In general i think it was good value and nice place to relax but I only recommend to mature couple who want to relax.. it's not very vibrant or fun for young couple or children.. actually there're many retired people staying there for long-term...

very quite and relaxing...you can walk to Maspalomas center or take a taxi for about 3€...very cheap!! Clean villas, friendly people...great surroundings! a typical 3 star...

We stayed at the Bungalows Jardin Dorado in September 2005. The Bungalow Complex is set within the surroundings of the Maspalomas Golf Course. The Complex is planned on three circles of bungalows encircling the beautiful swimming pool and reception/restaurant area. You will not have any problems finding your Bungalow, as reception will give you a basic map on arrival.

The taxi ride to the complex from Gran Canaria Airport is approx. £32 - £35 each way. Book your return taxi with reception. Don't get ripped off at the airport - Warning! - Some taxi drivers will not set there meter, ensure they do! If not the £35, could be £55!

The complex has a small, if not a touch expensive, supermarket by the side of the reception. There is a steep slope, not good for wheelchairs! The reception is friendly and all speak good english. The swimming pool and the grounds are immaculatly clean and tidy and the setting is typically sub-tropical with hibiscus and canary palms. The whole area is full off parakeets
and colourful birds. There is a childrens play area, child friendly pool and a small snack hut and bar by the pool. Drinks are reasonable for a complex, a beer will set you back approx. 1.5 Euros, Coffee 1.5 Euros.

The Bungalows are very clean and cleaned every day on average with one day off, generally Wednesday or Sunday. All your linen and towels are provided and all kitchen plates and crockery are available. There is a lounge, kitchen area, utility space, bedroom (twin) and an adequate bathroom with bath and shower. Very clean. Outside you have your own garden area front,back and side with cactus (beware!). On the outside patio you will have chairs, table and parasol.

Overall the complex is well maintained and clean with attention paid to the upkeep of the gardens and bungalows. All be it, although lit at night, the walkways between the Bungalows are a little uneven and not level. This may be hazardous if you're bad on your feet!

A steady 25 minutes stroll to the Maspalomas beach, however, taxis are very frequent all day and night outside the gates. To the beach approx 2euros. Overall, perfectly relaxing, quiet and good value. The complex is mainly visited by Spanish, Germans and Italians. No problems, everyone is friendly and keep themselves to themselves.

You will have a lovely holiday at great value. The expense is the taxi, however, car hire is reasonable from airport.
