Not a single complaint here, maybe the room was a little small and basic but it was cleaned daily with fresh towels and linen each other day. No hairdryers mind!!!!
Flew from Cardiff on a clear day afternoon flight, no tv or music as it was thomson's smaller planes, food excellent.
Arrived at hotel about 8pm and allowed into Dining room for evening meal. Food every day was excellent, varied, fresh with o complaints.
Room we were allocated was in the front of the hotel, no view and overlooking busy motorway junction. No real sound problems, even with the balcony dors open all night. Suffered as a resultof the mozies and we went on safari daily leaving squashed bodies on ceilings. mirrors and walls ~ NB this was the only night time entertainment as the hotel hadn't really arranged any.
We tried to change to a different room but was told that the hotel was full and none were available, however I feel that if we spoke Spanish, German or Klingon things would have been different. In the end we were satisfied with the room as by the end of the day it was nice to have shade and cool wind. Beware if you are offered a room above the dance floor on the first or second floor of above the dining rooms ~ self explainatory i think.
Thomson rep appears on day one and is never seen again, 24 hour phone line available but your basically on your own.
We were dissapointed to find that the nearest beach was being worked on by the council but San Agustin was 100 yards North and maspalomas dunes were 400 yeards South. It was early in the year so the water in the sea may have been a bit chilly but the three pools were excellent and by mid-day cooling to swim in and just ease the sore bits. IT WAS HOT!!!!!!!!!!
In all it was a good hoilday. we took the bus to las palmas and had a look around, we took up the option of being shown around the Gran Anfi complex (time share) and were really impressed (shocked at the price) but we were looked after, fed and watered.
Took the taxi from the hotel to the YAMBO Shopping centre in Playa del Inglis and had some great nights on the ground floor with Gay/drag cabarets and watching the "clown" mimicking the passers by and taking the p**** out of the visitors as they strolled aroud the three open air bars to the South East corner overlooking the Bungie ride.............. you will find it if you look and enjoy his antics.......... look for the bald bloke with the clown make up............ hillarious.
For a good day out, take a bus or taxi to Faro at the end of the dunes, have a look around and walk back to Playa de Inglis along the shore and around the dunes, it's a damn good way of starting your tan but beware it's a nudist beach................ I kept my socks and hat on, well i am welsh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were here last year and had taken a bus from Plays del Inglis to Porti Rico and Porto Mogan. well worth it and lovely to walk around "little venice" for something spectarular and reasonable, catch the glass bottom ferries back from Morgan to rico and on to Arguinequin via Anfi, lovely way to see the coast line, the new complexess that cling to the cliffs and the fish that swim with the boats. All three have good (man made beaches) and the buses are regular returning to the Beverly (right outside).
In all - NO COMPLAINTS!!!!! a good holiday, good weather, good food and hot sun.
