Our second visit: We arrived late, reception was still open and so was the bar and were greeted by staff we had met 8 years ago. I must say we had the best duplex on the site, we had previously stayed in the lower area of the resort. This time we had a Sea view, close to reception, the top pool and the pool bar. The Pool Bar was a little pricey but we enjoyed the pizza's and snacks. The staff at the pool bar were friendly and very polite. Drinks are a little pricey and yes you could pop to the on-site Super Market and get stuff cheaper. We spent most lunchtimes there and had drinks after returning from our evening out. The entertainment was enjoyable however if you are expecting a "big show " this is not the place for you, this is a quiet complex. We used the on-site restaurant once. Buffet style not complaints but nothing exciting, great for young families who don't want to walk into Maspalomas. The top pool is very deep and I would like to say not really suitable for young none swimmers, this pool should really be 14yrs+. Our duplex had everything we needed, comfy beds, pillows etc. We hired the safe for a small deposit and pool towels were provided. You can hire them if not included in your deal. Our room was cleaned 8times during our 11 night stay. We used our terrace most evenings, we had 2 sun beds and a garden sofa etc. The teenagers stayed on the 1st floor, the bathroom was massive. We eat out most evenings and enjoyed returning to restaurants that we had previously visited 8 years ago. Out and about, the local beach is ok if you want a dip in and out, but nothing compared to the impressive dunes and the beach of Maspalomas. We visited Playa Del ingles twice. 10euro taxi ride, the kids loved it, busy loads of shops full of fake this and that. Sports bars, mojito bars, Hard rock Cafe, all you can eat places. However we found a little gem and had lunch there twice. The prices of food and drink compared to the more classy resort of Maspalomas was noticeable. Would we return, yes now the children are older "without them".
