Description: Best Things Nearby:
Central for everything. Bars (quiet, football on TV and live entertainment), restaurants.
Bus Station where you can get a bus to anywhere on the island is 10 minutes walk. Las Americas beach is a 5 minutes walk. Santa Eugenia beach is 10 minutes. Porto Colon harbour has boat trips for fishing and whale and dolphin watching. Aquapark.
We found a lovely restaurant (unfortunately forgot the name) where we could sit upstairs eating fresh sardines with canarian potatoes and salad and drinking sangria while we watched the sun set.
Best Things About the Resort:
The peace. Although central for everything and set between two main roads you are not aware of noise during the day (a little from the bars in the evening until midnight). The resort has two swimming pools: one which seems to be for families with a bar which serves meals and has evening entertainment, and one which is quieter. There is also a car park at the back of the resort reached from further up the road and up the side of the hospital.
There is no hardsell to buy a timeshare at the meeting, just plenty of sangria and nibbles!
The taxi from the airport to the resort should cost about 20 euros.
Resort Experience:
We exchanged one week and the staff managed to let us have our own apartment for both weeks.
This is two bedrooms with the master being ensuite with fitted wardrobes, dressing table and doors to the patio. The second bedroom has two single beds with fitted wardrobes and only a small window onto the corridor. There is also a second bathroom.
The lounge is large with a double sofa bed, cable TV and music centre, dining table and chairs and two easy chairs. Patio doors. The kitchen is offshot and small but has an oven and microwave. The patio runs the full width of the apartment and has washing line, two tables, five chairs and two sun lounges.
The apartment is cleaned six days a week and linen and towels changed midweek.
The apartments and resort are kept very clean, although probably a little faded round the edges compared to the new ones. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
There is also a sandwich shop (delicious sandwiches) supermarket (reasonable prices) and bar on site.
