My partner and I booked this hotel with First Choice about 2 weeks before we were due to depart. It seemed, at the time, a good deal out of all the other choices. As Gran Canaria isn't that large an island, the trip from the Airport to the Hotel took about 30 mins. Upon arrival at the hotel, the staff... More

Apartments are furnished as the furniture was worn out and really out. We booked a room without plan, so can not tell anything about the food. Staff was very formal, and mostly nice to the 45% Germans and 45% English in the hotel. Swimming pool was small, and also did not use this a lot. If you just need a... More

This was probably a really nice hotel when it was first built, but it is literally crumbling from the balconies, the furniture comes from whatever passed for 1980's "IKEA" and the bathrooms are very dated. But it was clean, pleasant service and the beds were OK. More

we booked a studio apartment instead of a normal room hoping for a lounge area with a bedroom. When we checked in, we were taken to the room and it was a hugh let down. It had no lounge area and basically consisted of a sink and a small table. The worst thing about the studio apartments are they overlook... More

This aparthotel was very well appointed. No kettle no toaster but we did not expect to have those. It was clean and the room service was daily and thorough. Reception was a fund of good advice re busses local amenities etc. Nearest bus stop was 100metres away in front of Playa del Ingles Princess and very frequent to Faro de... More

Just returned from a week staying in the Riu Flamingo aparthotel. Had a studio apartment which was ample as there was only 2 of us. Rooms very basic but everything that you need. Staff were extremely helpful, happy and all had great personalities (which some hotel staff seem to lack these days). Pool and outside bar area were great. Plenty... More

We have just returned from a week in Playa del Ingles and have a great time. The hotel is in a good place, about a 30 min airport transfer. It is pretty much in the middle of the the Kazbar and Yumbo centre, two main bar and shopping areas. The beach is about 10-15min walk, but there is a free... More
