I have stayed in many apartments and hotels on Gran Canaria, but nothing as well done as this, especially at this price. The level of quality I experienced, exceeded my expectations!
The apartment is on a good high floor, providing stunning views, right on the beach. An elevator is available, providing private access to the beach and the apartment. The owner was very communicative and helpful with clear instructions. The WiFi is free and strong (no issues there). There is a new Nespresso machine with an initial supply of cartridges and a variety of tea bags. The owner was very thoughtful and provided a bottle of Cava (Champagne) as a welcome gift, perfect for celebrating the beautiful sunsets!
The furnishings are modern and new, with close attention to detail, including beach towels, shampoo and a good quality hair dryer; even a safe! - No need to overpack, since there is a washer for cleaning your clothes.
I especially liked the quality of the beddings; mattress and linens, with actual duvets and properly fitting duvet covers. Everything felt so fresh and crisp!
The convenience was exceptional, since there are many shops, restaurants, private parking, even transportation (bus or taxi) at the street level of the building; even a doctor and pharmacy!
I enjoyed the hiking trails just across the street into the mountains and jogging along the beach walking path. Next time I will go biking, I heard the routes are plentiful and challenging, with many great views and adventures!
The ocean is warm and the beach sand is soft, it is a short walk in either direction along the beach path, to other major resorts with activities, including; jet skiing, parasailing; speed boating; paddle boating, etc. Certainly, from this single location, I had the best of all I could imagine; a well stocked and furnished luxury apartment; local amenities and close by activities. All without the high expense of the surrounding resorts.
I'm looking forward to returning in November and hope to experience the camel ride and giant sand dunes in Maspalomas.
Clearly the owner has figured out how to make something special for good memories. I think I found a secret gem, this is my target for future holidays!
Hope this helps!
