My husband, two children and I stayed in the Terrazamar June 18th until July 2nd. We booked the Suites through 1800hotls.ie and got a very good deal. When we arrived at the Suites our transfer driver(Viajes Islas Canarias Tours, would thoroughly reccommend them), dropped us at the Sunsuites. The receptionist informed us that the Suites were closed as it was very quiet in Puerto Rico at the moment. We didnt mind as we were on the the sixth floor of the Sunsuites and the views were amazing. The balcony as has been said many times before were huge!! It appeared that the sixth floor balconies were even bigger than the other floors !! We cannot praise these apartments highly enough. They were spotless , a bottle of water in the fridge, a medium sized bottle of washing up liquid also supplied which we were happy with. The bathroom had a big shower , large sink and large mirror with a hairdryer on the wall, mind you it only blew out cool air so you might be a while drying long hair. There was plenty of cupboard space with about eight drawers in the wardrobe, this was in the bedroom which had two single beds and a full lenght mirror on the wall. The sitting room sofa had a bed that you pulled out underneath it, this was grand for our two kids. The kitchen had a microwave, coffee perculator, kettle, toaster and all the bits and bobs you need to cook with. We ate breakfast on the huge balcony every morning, bliss, the sunloungers were great if you didnt feel like hitting the pool. There was no problem with getting a sunbed by the pool any day, there was no-one at all keeping beds! This was a first for us, I know it was quiet but there were still people filling up the beds as the day wore on so it was a relief not to have to rise at dawn and join a sunbed race!!I cannot praise the girls at the pool bar/restaurant enough, they were extremely pleasant ,obliging and seemed to genuinely like working there, and the food was fantastic. We just ate lunch there every day(except days we went on trips etc.,), the club sandwiches, BLTs, pizzas were excellent. The staff on reception were absolutely brilliant, very friendly, helpful , and nothing was too much trouble for them. The older gentleman on reception at night time gave us a big salute every night when we arrived home from the CC in our slightly "happy" state. In the commercial centre I would definitely reccommend the San Miguel, we ate there seven nights out of our 14 thats how good it was , great choice and very reasonable with fantastic staff. La Capricho in the CC was our haunt every night for there fantastic cocktails and icecreams. A special mention to Julio who brought my husband in behind the bar to teach him how to make Mojitos , so that he could do this at home and not miss Puerto Rico too much!! Also good meals at Cabalito de Mar and the small Oscars, a bit pricey but still cheaper than a fancy restaurant here at home.We walked along the seafront over to Amadores which was lovely, we also took the boat over to Puerto Mogan which is a beautiful place, so much so that we took a
taxi over there one night to have a meal in the beautiful setting. Unfortunately it was extremely quiet there, one or two people in most of the restaurants, with some with no-one at all. It was like a ghost town.We ate in an Italian restaurant called La Bruscheta, I would not reccommend you go there hungry. I know it takes time to cook fresh food but well over an hour later there was no sign of our dinner, when it did arrive the portions were very small and the waiters seemed a little snotty towards us. I have whittered on long enough so I will just finish by saying we had a brilliant holiday at the Terrazamar and in Puerto Rico and would give them a big thumbs up.
Deedee

I have been alot of places in the Med.. but I have never been anywhere as tacky as Puerto Rico..Grand Canaria!

The Terrazamar apartments were clean and we were impressed by the massive Balcony however, the entertainment by the pool and in the evening were extremely tacky.. but each to their own.. The Reps were also useless... they didnt have a clue and didnt seem interested in their guests.

The resort as a whole was awful.. constant hassle from ex pats and locals trying to get in you into their resturants and the food was terrible.. we ate in most nights as we couldnt be doing with the hassle.

The only part that was good about the holiday was the weather and the beach Amadores.. its about a 30/40min walk from the hotel but its worth it.

Never again would I return to tacky Gran Canaria!!

Spent First week of June at Terazzamar Sunsuitesand was not disappointed. All previous reviews were spot on, although was led astray by the ones talking about walking to Europa Centre (it's way up the hill not down).
Terraces are 32ft x 28ft !!!!!!
Reccomend eating at San Miguel, El Torro Internationale and Murphy's Kitchen in the CCII (Commercial) shopping centre.
Thomas Cook reps did a fine job, although could be more jolly and interactive with the punters.
Swimming pool on level 10 is 1.5 metres deep so no shallow end for the little 'uns. Pool area is huge as well so there is no over crowding with the sun beds.
Would deffo go back this year if I spot a late deal.

Special Hi to AmandaPolly (see review below) who was there the same week as us....if you not sure who we were, our boy was playing pool in Maggie's Bar the night I sang Puff thre Magic Dragon...plus it was me who won the 2 Superstar T Shirts

myself and my family stayed at the terrazamar two years running. they are clean, well positioned for the centre of puerto rico , and the kids were very well looked after. the rooms were large enough for the four of us and had a seperate room that the kids slept in. kitchens were basic but who wants to go on holiday to cook. the best feature by far was the large terrace just off the living room that had two sunloungers and breakfast table and chairs wih parasol. a great place to eat your breakfast, and also to catch a little extra sun on while the kids had a nap after a long day the pool or beach. i recomend getting a taxi to amadores beach its much better than the one in puerto rico itself. all the staff in hotel were very friendly and werent long in remembering you by name . the entertainment staff were good but it did get a bit repetative , and they were also a bit loud around the main pool during the day.that said you just had to go to the pool up in the royal suits that was more relaxing and quiter. i would return to this hotel in the future but ill go see some more of the world first. p.s. i recommend going to san miguels for dinner as long as you dont mind queing (always a good sign) and the funny boys show up next to the chinese restaurant was hilarious. any questions just ask i'd be happy to help
