Booked a week here with TUI for a last-minute break during the school holidays, from 23rd July. The cost was high for a basic, self-catering holiday, but that was mainly due to the dates. Rooms: Basic and clean. Two single beds (one more comfortable than the other, I might add), and a sofa that was more comfy to lie on than either! Note: infant cots and high chairs are available on request. Sufficient cutlery, plates, bowls in kitchen for 4 people. Kettle, microwave, two electric rings and a working fridge/freezer. Corkscrew in kitchen drawer - used that often! 😄 Tv in living room, with a variety of different channels. Wi-Fi was available, but chargeable and I never managed to connect as (for some reason) you need access to the internet to apply for it! (Spot the flaw, here). Pretty much everywhere else has free Wi-Fi, so I found I didn’t need it in the hotel, anyway. The Room Safe was also a chargeable extra, (€15 payable, €5 returned) as was a fan (€20 payable, €10 returned deposit) as there is no air-conditioning. I still don’t understand why safes are an optional extra. Room safes are a necessity, surely! No-one goes on holiday and leaves their valuables, money, passport, etc. lying around! Millennials will, no doubt, say the same of Wi-Fi. There is a balcony with two chairs and a small table, which is perfect to sit and watch the sun go down over the beach, glass in hand! Pools: there are two pools, surrounded by adequate sun beds (though towels seemed to go out early!). I never used the pools, as the beach was so close and I prefer an active holiday to one that I can simulate with a sun lamp at home! Position: only a few hundred metres from the amazing Amadores Beach, with shops and restaurants, lovely, white sand, and crystal clear waters. The bus stop to Puerto de Mogàn (€1,55 each way) is right in front of the hotel, and the buses to Puerto Rico, Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés stop half-way between the hotel and the beach. Ideal as a base for cheap excursions round the island. Buses run regularly and are a clean, safe way to get around. Maspalomas has a zoo, water park, and acres of dunes containing sand blown over from the Sahara, I believe. Local Area: round the corner from a Spar shop, which has a larger variety of goods than the on-site shop. On the beachfront there is a flat (wheelchair/pushchair compatible) walkway (1050m) to Puerto Rico, if you enjoy a long walk with a beautiful view of the rocky coastline, lined with bougainvillea and cacti. It takes you to the port, where you can get on a glass-bottomed boat, go dolphin watching, banana boat riding and more. There are more restaurants, there, and it is a short walk to the main commercial centre, Macdonald’s, and the bus station. The bus back to Amadores is only €1,55 or taxis are available from around €5, if you don’t wish to walk back. Staff: the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. I obtained my safe key on check-in and hired the fan the day afte
