ART en Las Palmas - Viviendas Vacacionales

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent facilities Very clean Lovely welcome pack and little touches to make you feel homely Great location for old town and las Canteras beach"

Hotel Cristina by Tigotan Las Palmas - Adults Only (+16)

8/10 Good

"This was a lovely hotel to stay in particularly with regards to location and amenities. It was close to (within walking distance) to everything we wanted to do: beach, promenades, cafes, restaurants and buses. Just a tip though for anyone staying in a room without a balcony: We found it challenging to dry items such as towels and swimsuits, as there were only hooks in the bathroom, which didn't have good ventilation. Some hooks near the door or window would have helped. At one point I had rolled damp clothing in a towel in the bathroom to dry but the cleaning staff took it away when they came in. Fortunately I was able to retrieve our clothing. Also, the dining area only offered full breakfast buffet while it would have been preferable for us to choose a lighter breakfast. We had to go out each morning to find coffee and something to eat."

Hotel Silken Saaj Las Palmas

8/10 Good

"The hotel is perfectly situated across from a beach and a bus stop from the airport with a walkway that isn’t far. The only downside, is that since it’s a on a motorway you can hear the traffic if the soundproof windows aren’t fully working. The staff are very helpful and friendly."
