Despite some quite awful reviews we didn't experience anything like what those people were saying. We stayed all inclusive in a one bedroom apartment (number 10). The apartment was very clean and had a lovely spacious balcony overlooking the pool. Sadly it doesn't have aircon but there was a standing fan supplied in the room. The balcony had a table, chairs, parasol and two loungers as well as a drying rack. The food and drinks were all very acceptable, maybe a little repetitive but it was all very nice and perfectly adequate. It is a buffet style set up where you can have as little or as much as you want. You clear your own table at the end of your meal, nothing wrong with that! The drinks were all local, but they tasted the same as the named brand ones so no complaints there. The room was cleaned, new towels and beds remade at least twice in our week stay. The shower was okay, it ran cool quite quickly but in that heat it was quite welcome! They offer a free shuttle bus to Faro Maspalomas, which is a delight to visit. You must try the K1 restaurant on the seafront for the most excellent value for money meals and drinks, we went there at least 4 times! The taxi's were around 10 euros (with tip) to Playa Del Ingles and Maspalomas. To Faro Maspalomas it was about 6 euros. We took the free bus to Faro Maspalomas and then walked back to the bus station to catch a bus to Puerto Rico (5 euros for both), and then one to Puerto Mogan (just over 5 euros for both) - these are between 30 and 45 minutes journey respectively. We caught the boat back from Puerto Mogan to Puerto Rico (15 euros for both) which was amazing - highly recommend Puerto Mogan for the beautiful buildings, cafes, bars and the beach had the softest sand ever! The only downside to our weeks holiday was the last day. It was not advised that you have to be out of your room at 11am, and the all inclusive stops at 11am on the day of departure. Our flight wasn't until the evening and we were not being picked up by transfer until 5.30pm so that left us a bit in limbo...the hotel did store our luggage (in an unlocked room in the reception area) and they did offer to extend our room and all inclusive for another 50 euros but didn't seem worthwhile to us. Another point to note that the Easyjet website states 23 degrees in October...it was about 10 degrees out! It was so HOT!
