Airtours Beach Club, Grand Canary

Advantages: Great resort, accomodation, entertainment, and food was not repetitive.
Disadvantages: Poor security - when we went anyway - perhaps it has been improved.

...I must confess tha this one will be quite hard to write about. We had an overall good holiday, when we stayed here, at Turbo Club appartments in Masplomas, Gran Canria. However, I feel I should, get into the open what happened on our vacation. One of our rooms were broken into. And it was not just one of our rooms that got broken into. There were several other people across the resort also being broken into. The fact this could happen is obviuosly becuase of the lack of camera's and security on site. You see the resort itself is good. For our two rooms, we had a private staircase going up to them, there were two appartments underneath aswell (on ground level). Three of us at went away for a walk to a fairly local shopping centre, while one of us stayed and had a snooze. My sisters, stayed in the room on the right at the top... Read review

Advantages: Value for Money
Disadvantages: lack of evening entertainment

...and walk off, the price drops a lot!! Holiday World is about 10 mins walk and has a variety of fairground rides but doesnt really open till about 7pm. However, there is ten pin bowling there all day and a selection of kids rides for just a Euro. Good value for money. The entertainer was ill half way through our holiday so there was no kids club or evening entertainment. The first couple of days while he was there this consisted of a quiz or bingo at 9.30 at night. The atmosphere at the hotel is calm and peaceful, though there is music on all day by the main pool which we really liked. I believe this was a very quiet time for the hotel. We kept one room and paid for the additional all inclusive on our last day for the other room. This was excellent value for money as our coach didnt come till 1.45 in the morning. For about 3...

Advantages: Cheap, quiet, near Puerto Rico, near beach, plenty of sunbeds
Disadvantages: No air con, same food every day, dirty plates, limited cooking facilities

...nice little beach but there is little else in the resort - not a big deal when it is 1 Euro on the bus or 4 Euros in a taxi to Puerto Rico. No air conditioning made for some uncomfortable nights but you get what you pay for and you can hire a fan. I would not go back because of the food and I like all inclusive but I would not necessarily recommend it for self catering either (it is an aparthotel). The only cooking facilities were 2 electric rings, toaster, kettle and a fridge. This is for you if you want a cheap base in a quiet town and you plan to eat out and can cope with heat at night. Not for you if you like cool rooms, cooking sometimes, eating in the hotel or going all inclusive.... Read review
