The weather was fab. Our bungalow was very basic but it had everything we needed. Really clean & comfortable beds. Overall the interior of the bungalow we stayed in was tired but the one next door was being decorated while we were there. The kitchen / lounge area provided a dining table, stools as well as a sofa (bed) & chair. The kitchen area included a sink, fridge, 2 rings & all crockery & cutlery we needed. We sat out on the sunny (furnished) terrace each morning for breakfast and on several days had lunch there too. The pool is lovely with a generous area for the numerous sun loungers. There is a supermarket on site as well as several more close by. All sold much the same stuff at much the same prices and the one on site had lovely fresh bread/rolls each day. We used the on site restaurant on the first night & enjoyed a fab pizza. They also offer a take away service which is a nice touch. On subsequent nights we visited the Faro II shopping mall which is within walking distance. The shops weren't great but there is a good selection of restaurants. To get to Faro I you need to get a taxi which is about 3 euros each way. There is a taxi rank near to the apartments as well as at Holiday World (10 pin bowling, bars etc)

We took a public bus to Las Palmas (take a cardi as it's colder there) which was a really pretty place to visit with lots of sight seeing and great shopping. Approx cost I think was 7 euros each way per person. On another day we took the bus again to Puerto Morgan, very different and again very pretty. Great Irish bar served a great Irish breakfast which we had for lunch on our last day. It was an absolute bargain.

I nearly forgot to say, all the staff were friendly including the maid. They have visitors from all over Europe and probably have to deal with some difficult folk but we found them to be very helpful. I tried to book a trip at reception but the company couldn't take the booking ta that time, a little later the receptionist popped over to our bungalow to let us know she'd made the booking. Really thoughtful.

We booked allocation on arrival and I am going back again in June. If you want a cheap and cheerful holiday book this, if you want up market stay somewhere else.

I stayed here in July 2008 with my son who is 12 my partner and mother and father.This is the second time we have stayed,was a little weary the first time after reading the reviews.I cannot fault the cleaners on both visit they were always in the apartment cleaning.The pool side was very quiet which was a good thing taxi ride very cheap to the main town.Capri is a good place to stay, the location is away from the hustle and bustle so you can sleep.I must agree the place could do with a spruce up as its looking very dated.The price you pay is cheap so if you do not mind the tatty surrounds you will be ok.
We met a woman from Ireland who had decided to stay there since she arrived in February (she is probably still there now) beware if she is as a right pain in the neck,wants to know every ones business.Overall cannot complain enjoyed my stay and will go again.

I went to Gran Canaria last year around the same time so I knew that the weather would be great.

Last year I went to Playa Del Ingles with my boyfriend and a crowd of pals. This year me and my boyfriend were going with my mum dad, wee sister and her pal.

We arrived around 7pm on Sunday night. First impressions the bungalows looked ok. We were told that the bungalows were up and downstairs, although some of them were ours were just on the one level. As there was 6 of us we each had our own one bedroom apartment. On the first night we found that the place had a few big spiders! No Cockroaches though which was a bonus! That night we went to the holiday centre to get something quick to eat.

The next day we were by the pool most of the time, while my sister and Amy were in the pool me and richard and my mum and dad went a walk and got to the faro 2 shopping centre and had a drink, there was plenty of places to eat and plenty of bars. We went there most nights to get dinner.

As me and Richard were there last year we knew all the good clubs and bars to go to at the Kasbah and the Yumbo. All the night clubs are great, altought i dont really like Cream.

The weather was really good the whole time that we were there,even at night you didnt even need a cardigan or anything.

Overall the apartments were ok, basic but ok. The only thing was that there was no air con and no plug sockets in the bedroom so when we bought a fan for 19 Euro's we had to plug it in in the kitchen and try and point it into the bedroom! It was just circulating the hot air!! The maids only made a quick appearance once during the week, gave us another loo roll and didnt chage our towels, if your not a smoker it might bother you that the maids smoke in your apartment while they are "cleaning".

A second time they came, but they only left a toilet roll and a black bag sitting on out patio, they didnt actually come in which i wasnt impressed with.

The only place you nedd to shop in is the on site store. It has EVERYTHING!

The restaraunt is ok. the only time we ate in it was our last night just for quickness. My mum felt really ill after eating the steak.

On a Wednesday the bar and restaraunt is shut!! The waiter is a grumpy man and the "chef" smokes in the kitchen while preparing your food!! YUK!

I would defineately go back to gran canaria but i would stay in Playa Del Ingles again as it is much bettter for people mine and richards age (18 and 20).

Overall, it was ok. I wouldnt stay there again.

On the first day of our staying in the Capri bungalows the receptionist (see the photo) stole our money, food, cosmetic kit, and the shoes from our apartment.
In 5 days she stole the laptop and the photo camera from the apartment of our neighbors from Estonia.
SHAME!
