“Love here”

Our 10th time here and always a great experience, stayed in the bungalows again for the 4/5th time, spotless and kept in great condition, think it’s definitely time to get some A/C in the bungalows Alsol , otherwise we love the place.

Our 10th time here and always a great experience, stayed in the bungalows again for the 4/5th time, spotless and kept in great condition, think it’s definitely time to get some A/C in the bungalows Alsol , otherwise we love the place. Diego and his wife run the pool bar as an awesome little place. Will be back again, excellent location for beach, restaurants and transportation to the airport and surrounding areas

We travelled as a family of 5 with myself, my husband & 3 children of 10 & 15 years old Good points Great location 5 minute walk to yumbo & 10 minute walk to the main beach & restaurants Secure apartments as you needed a key card to access the main gates to get into the apartments . Lots of storage in the bedrooms for clothing and comfortable bed Modern comfortable apartments which were quiet Sun beds always available anytime of day & comfortable to lie on Good selection of food and drink at the pool bar Supermarket right behind the apartments by walking up the stairs by the pool and has a good selection of products The pool has steps at the shallow end where you can walk in which was perfect for me as I have mobility issues. The pool water was a nice temperature and not freezing cold. Even though the pool isn’t massive it was rarely over crowded No smoking around the pool area Bad points Towels were only changed 3 times in 14 days . Some of the towels that were meant to be clean had dirt on them. We had to go to reception and ask for clean towels every other day. The apartment was only cleaned twice in 2 weeks and the cleaners barely cleaned the rooms . The cleaners never cleaned the bathroom at all and when I asked for clean towels I was told no. The kitchen doesn’t have an oven just a microwave and a hob with 2 rings so we ate out most days which worked out expensive No air conditioning just ceiling fans so we had to hire and air conditioning unit costing £160 euros. The air conditioning unit worked well and i couldn’t have coped with the heat without it. The ceiling fan only has one remote so everyone in both bedrooms has to have the fan on the same setting. There isn’t a fan in the living room area. The shower was very temperamental and most of the time we couldn’t get any warm water so we ended up with cold showers The pool has to many rules it’s like the no fun pool. No inflatables , no balls and no jumping in the pool. All you could do was swim which wasn’t much fun for the kids. Don’t sit near the pool bar side of the pool as there was a horrible smell of poop 💩 Local teenagers using the pool in the late afternoon there was around 20 teenagers who weren’t staying at the apartments which stopped us using the pool as it got over crowded Food wasn’t available at the pool bar for around 1 week of our stay as the chef was ill and they have no staff to cover her illness. If it was slightly overcast the pool bar wasn’t opened We had a great time at the apartments but probably wouldn’t come back until they had air conditioning, a better kitchen & cleaned more regularly

Didn’t know what to expect when we arrived. After reading the reviews the apartments were lovely had everything in that you needed towels we changed every other day apartments, they were well equipped, iron and hairdryer provided beds comfortable …Paol area, very clean, new sunbeds, Paol bar, nice food and drinks. Shower room provided for if you have a late flight home. Please be aware that if you are looking for a cheap bargain holiday when you get here, this is not the place for you. No local bars to go out to at night with families. This obviously is my opinion be very open-minded when you are wandering around at night we did find a beautiful steakhouse called Toros which is near the Irish bar and the kasbar bar centre which is well worth a visit. bus services are cheap and frequent and takes half an hour to get into Puerto Rico. Well worth a visit.

“2nd visit, still good but not as good as 1st visit!”

Returned from a family holiday in february with my husband and 2 kids aged 5 and 12. This was our 2nd visit having previously stayed at walhalla february 22'. Last time we were in room 309 which was completely updated to an excellent standard. Our recent visit we were ground floor room 101 - not a good room I'm afraid. It was smaller and darker than previous, bathroom was half updated with a poor shower cubicle which leaked! Last room was a glass panel with walk in shower - lovely! No air con just fans which was noisy in our bedroom so was hot at nights. Room 101 is also next to the cleaners office so every morning we were woken by the cleaners noisy conversations and clanging their equipment (and yes windows were all closed). Was so glad for Sunday when we could have a longish lye in. Previous visit our family experienced worms in the ground floor rooms, thankfully we didn't have this issue. 1st night I noticed a worm on floor in main living area but after this there was no a reoccurring issue. Our main door and bathroom looked like it had previously had a break in as it was screwed shut. This is poor. Someone could have easily kicked in our front door and got into the apartment as it did not feel secure at all! There was also no draining for dishes so this made a mess in kitchen area. Other apartment had this nect to sink :/ apart from the above issues our holiday was brilliant, the convenience of being literally a walk away from the pool was handy with the kids. Staff are all very pleasant, bar by pool very convenient and bar staff very friendly. Pool is heated so ideal during a winter holiday, and excellent location to most amentities. As frequent visitors to Gran Canaria (as we have friends who stay there) we would return tk the walhalla as we always enjoy our stay however next time it would be good to have either a ground floor apartment either rooms 103, 104 or 105 (away from cleaners and not near the main gate into complex) or top floor to get those amazing views! Until maybe next time..... february 2025?
