Maspalomas is the oldest of all the tourist resorts on the island of Gran Canaria and is the ideal place to stay regardless of your budget. There is a vibrant, party feel throughout at night, although during the day it is far more relaxed. The location of Maspalomas makes it an ideal base to explore [...]

Marina Suites Review
May 1st, 2012 · No Comments
The Marina Suites are in a perfect location near the beach, shops, and bars and this hotel is also on the flat ground, which is a bonus in Puerto Rico, since a lot of hotels are halfway up the cliff and involve either taxis or climbing. The rooms are all expertly decorated in a quaint [...]

Playa de Los Secos
August 19th, 2011 · No Comments
Playa de Los Secos is a 260 metre long and 25 metre wide beach in the Mogan area of Gran Canaria. With fine grey, gravel-type sand and a gentle tide, this area is sometimes frequented by nudists but very often it is empty altogether because it’s not exactly on the beaten track. This beach has [...]

Jardin Golf Guesthouse – Best Guesthouse in Gran Canaria?
July 27th, 2011 · No Comments
Have you ever stayed at the Jardin Golf Guesthouse in Gran Canaria? I like to browse the reviews on Trip Advisor sometimes and I noticed this place had 21 excellent review (5 out of 5) and nothing less, which means it must be really good! Very few hotels get that kind of rating. Apparently this [...]

Playa del Tasartico
June 21st, 2011 · No Comments
Playa del Tasartico is a shingle beach on the west coast of Gran Canaria. Located in the borough of La Aldea de San Nicolas, Playa del Tasartico is a quiet beach, similar to Gui Gui beach or another off the off-the-beaten-track ones. This rustic, secluded beach doubles as a nudist beach, since there is rarely [...]

Playa del Amadores
April 6th, 2011 · No Comments
Playa del Amadores can be translated to mean “beach of the lovers” which might lead you to believe it’s small and quiet. Actually, that description should be used for places like Playa de Gui Gui or Playa Ambar because Playa del Amadores is quite busy. Amadores is between Puerto Rico and Mogan but closer to [...]

Anfi del Mar
March 28th, 2011 · No Comments
If white Caribbean sand and turquoise sea sounds like your idea of heaven, you will like Anfi del Mar. Although this is primarily a timeshare resort, the beach is not private and anybody can visit. I’ve been there numerous times! Anfi beach is situated near Patalavaca and a bus from Puerto Rico only takes 15 [...]

Playa Ambar
March 9th, 2011 · No Comments
This has to be one of the tiniest beaches in Gran Canaria but if you are looking for total isolation, you can either visit Playa de Gui Gui or this one, which is near Tasarte, San Nicolas de Tolentino. If you are looking for jet skis, bars, restaurants and other facilities, forget Playa Ambar and [...]

Playa de Gui Gui
March 4th, 2011 · No Comments
During my time working in Puerto Escala, I lost count of the times people asked me how to get to Gui Gui beach (pronounced weewee beach). This beach is reputed to be one of the prettiest on the whole island and that might be because it isn’t packed with tourists. Guigui beach, on the remote [...]

Playa de Puerto Rico
February 28th, 2011 · No Comments
If you’re staying in Puerto Rico you’ll be pleased with the beach. Puerto Rico beach, or Playa de Puerto Rico as it’s known in Spanish, isn’t the biggest beach on the island but it’s never too packed to lay your towel down either. Playa de Puerto Rico is between two harbours – Puerto Base on [...]
