An amazing in hotel right be the beach, just a two minute walk across a very quiet residential street to the the national park and dunes of Maspalomas. The pool and gardens resemble an oasis with all the canary palms around and the neighbouring property adding to the illusion of endless palms. The room was excellent, clean and well maintained as well as quiet. Water was offered daily and a chocolate before bed time. The up-price for halfboard was well worth the reasonable additional cost as the food is of excellent quality with a 4 course meal 4 nights and excellent BBQs the 3 other nights with everything that your heart desires.The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and speak multiple languages not limited to Spanish, German, English and Dutch. There was very good nightly entertainment during and and after dinner and the 70s style bar lounge has a great vibe. Breakfast was phenomenal and should you wish to swap dinner for lunch you can do so as well if you let the staff at reception know the day before. It was my 50th birthday during our stay and the staff took the time to congratulate me and also left a very nice surprise for me in the room which was very much appreciated. We did not hire a car as we wanted to relax and celebrate and used reasonably priced taxis to get into town and the local express bus to go to Las Palmas both of which can be taken from stops a short walk away. To and from the airport we organised one transfer online and another via the hotel.
