My wife and 3 teenage sons have just returned from a lovely break at the 19th Villa, Anfi Tauro Golf Resort. To sum up our stay:

- Great Villa (big rooms, fantastic outdoor area: pool, hot tub, really comfy easy chairs/loungers, BBQ)
- Great Location (very easy access to Motorway, beaches within 2 minutes, loads of restaurants close by, Spar store, restaurant and communal pool onsite)

- Restaurant Tip: Monaco at the far end of Playa Amadores
- Beach Tips: Amadores or Anfi del Mar
- Teenager (and parents) fun Tips: Aqualand Waterpark, Lago de Taurito Waterpark, Karting Gran Canaria, Watersports at Playa Taurito, Inflatable Waterpark at Playa Amadores, Mini Golf at near end of Playa Amadores
- Hiking Tip: Roque Noblo circular walk

Last tip - for any runners out there, there are a number of routes (albeit hilly) around the golf course if you're out early enough to avoid the golfers, and there is a really good route down to the beach and around the coast to Puerto Rico.

This apartment was in a very good condition. Nicely finished and well maintained. The garden offers lots of privacy. The surroundings are pleasant .
The housekeeper is available on demand and can fix any imperfections alike.
The nearby golf course is beautiful but expensive.
The park is accessible only through a barrier and is therefore very quiet and safe.

the villa is set amongst beautiful surroundings including golf resort and beautiful mountain scenery, close enough to walk to the beautiful amadores beach in twenty minutes and a further twenty minutes takes you to the centre of Puerto rico along the cliff promenade,
the villa has 3 good sized bedrooms and a sitting area with tv and dining area, the garden has a small plunge pool great for cooling down or lying on a lilo to enjoy the sun, that comes up around 10 in the morning till 7 or 8 at night, great sun beds in the garden for 6 people and hot tub to relax in if the sun does not appear, villa in great condition so you will not be disappointed renting this home

Villa in a great position in between Championship and par 3 golf, 3 mins drive to either. Championship course very demanding. Par 3 lovely, it has 9 excellent greens but 18 tees, so a really pleasant couple of hours. Also nice driving range, and it's own really pleasant bar. Champ course 80 euro inc buggy, Par 3 - 35 euro for 18 holes, driving range 2.50 euro for 50 balls. Great Pro Shop. Club hire easy. Buggys are an absolute must on the championship course, as are a dozen balls per round (it's a really beautiful challenge).
Back to the Villa; it has everything you could wish for and it's really comfortable. 5 mins drive to Amadaris beach - really nice, loads of restaurants, bars etc. Puerto Mogan and other beaches available 10-15 mins drive.
One of the A/C units went down during our stay and it got fixed very quickly, otherwise can't and don't want to fault the place. We had a brilliant holiday.
Pick up groceries at the new Lidl in Maspalomas on the way from the airport, which is a 40 minute drive, shopping's a bit limited locally. Also go to Las Palmas for a day or more and before you come back pick up some seriously good groceries at el corte ingles - has its own car park.
Big recommendation - go to the botanical gardens outside Las Palmas - it's free and truly amazing - give yourself at least 2 hours.

We spent a very relaxing 10 days at this villa.

The gardens are beautiful and the private pool perfect for cooling off from the day long sunshine.

Any questions or queries were immediately dealt with by Ger who was more than helpful.

The local shop was well stocked for provisions and suited us well.

A special mention for the restaurant/grill beside the shop (turn left at the villa's front door and walk 100 feet and you are there). Excellent, friendly service with superb steaks and personal recommendations. Really, having such a nice place to eat, so close to the villa, made our stay even more relaxing.

We hired a car and I am glad we did as the island has many beautiful spots including Amadores beach and Mogan. However this is not entirely necessary and you can easily catch a taxi from the restaurant who will call one for you.

If you want a quiet stay in the sunshine to recharge the batteries then this is perfect.

The 19th Villa at Anfi Tauro promised much by way of facilities - and delivered.
The property is extremely spacious and offers a living area that can be expanded seamlessly from a comfortable well furnished interior, to the large marble floored patio which extended into the garden area, below an overhanging roof that provided welcome shade for much of the day.
It is situated very close to shopping and restaurant facilities, which makes for easy living. It is also not far to the beach at Amadores and the numerous restaurants in that area.
Its range of domestic equipment is comprehensive and items like wifi and the availability of Sky TV aid leisure (for those that want that facility),
The booking process and administrative detail could not have been easier. Communication and the provision of details aimed at making the visit smooth and pleasurable were about as good as one can get.
It all added up to being a very pleasant holiday experience for us.
