Palm Beach, Grand Canary

Advantages: Nice location
Disadvantages: Infestation of Spider Ants and the incompitent action of the hotel staff

...WARNING! Please read if you are intending to stay at H10 Playa Meloneras Palace, Grand Canary.

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

Not for you if you like cool rooms, cooking sometimes, eating in the hotel or going all inclusive.... Read review
