I'd definitely recommend these apartments. The staff are really helpful and any problems we had were immediately attended to. I especially liked the layout of the apartments. They're in an oval shape so when you're on your balcony you're facing the pool and all the other balconys. It makes it look really pretty especially at night.

Location wise - it is right next to the Yumbo centre which means a ten minute walk to the beach and about a ten minute walk to some of the better clubs. But it's nothing really and taxi's are really cheap if you're lazy!

The only negative I have is that our room had a bit of a musky smell but regardless of that I'd definitely stay there again.

Hotel was excellent great value for money. Pool was great, food excellent and the hotel was very clean. Very central for all pubs/clubs/shops etc. Only 10 mins to beach. This hotel really was great amongst some of the horror stories you hear

Just got bakand a week later booked to go next year for Gay pride.

Arrived at the hotel made to feel really welcome.

I have been to gran canaria before (about 5 times) but this the first in Playa del ingles. i have to say its one of the best holidays i have ever had.

Yes its right next to the Yumbo centre and Yes its has a big Gay attraction and Yes there are alot of gay people there! So what we dont right reviews and say oh there are alot of straight people there!

We all have a right to a holiday to soak up the sun and have a few to many please dont wright reviews on how " they (gay people) dont really bother you to much!

Anyways backto the holiday. I do agree that the pool was a little small and the room could get warm but it was a small price to pay for the location. I didnt reckon much to the food there but as we were s/c didnt feel we had to eat there.

The only thing that affected me was the noise at 5am, no not from people from the dust bin men! Lord thoses guys make a racket and as we were round the car park side we got woke up every morning. hasnt stopped me from booking again though.

Rooms cleaned nearly every day and the maids were lovely. Every room had a pool view from what i could tell and the balconys felt secure and my partner has a fear of them and glad to see they were maintained and not the ones with bars on.

The location is great the beach is a downhill walk might want to get a taxi back and if you gi for a meal go to Martels steaks house on the 1st floor their steak is to die for !

Becareful on the beach we went down for 4 hours and the waves were huge it was warm but as had a wind couldnt tell. That nite we both ended up in bed with sun stroke! and all efforts for a tan has now peeled off! so becarfull that canarian sun is leathul.

oh and booked to go next year may 5th-11th gay pride !!!

The Yumbo center was fab and QE2 bar is excellent.

We stayed here for 1 week in September and was pleasantly surprised. We knew we were staying by the Yumbo centre so didn't really bother us. At the end of the day we are all on this planet together regardless of sexuality!

We arrived at 3.00 in the morning so was glad of the sandwiches/fruit which was given to us.

The rooms can get a bit hot as their is no air conditioning, but apart from that the rooms are clean and tidy - we were glad of the self catering option as we could keep our food/water cool. The food in the hotel was nice with plenty of selection, although we did eat out at different places later on in the week.

The beach is situated about 10 minutes walk downhill but was taking us about 20 coming back especially in the heat! Along where the beach is there are bars/restaurants galore so you certainly won't go hungry.

The only downside of the holiday were reps from a place called 'Anfi del mare' trying to get you to go and see there new resort, but when you get there they try to con you into buying a timeshare apartment. These people were everywhere so watch out!!

But apart from that we had a really nice time and would probably return if we went back!
