“Good Enough (in a positive way)”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2006
10
people found this review helpful

Stayed for a week with four of us (48,50,19,16) in a couple of bungalows. Don't mistake this for either Cay Beach hotel, Meloneras (as our taxi driver tried to once) or the Princess Hotel - a much plusher operation.

The place is pleasant, has a nice pool (still a bit cold, but it's April) and pretty surroundings. The bungalows are OK, sufficiently roomy without much comfort in some areas (duff shower in one, towels for midgets, inadequate cooking facilities if you want to self-cater). TV's lack remote control but that's not what we were there for. Customers seem to be families or older couples.

But the place and people are friendly, people smile and do their best to fulfill requirements. The cleaning is erratic, but didn't see anything even approaching an insect anywhere around or in the bugalows. The food is sufficiently good and cheap to make self-catering a bit pointless without ever being stunning. Don't come here for nightlife or foam parties but if your aim is to sit by a pool and do nothing but soak up sunshine, with a few trips (Aqualand highly recommended) then Princess Bungalows does just fine. It's a way from the centre of the action in Playa del Ingles but some of us see that as a positive.

“Great resort”

The first review of this page has to be HOTEL princess and not BUNGALOWS princess where we talking about here. Seen the openinghours and earlyer expierences. This resort has been our holiday destination for the last 5 years, and for the next 5 years it will be also. Friendly staff and clean bungalows are hard to find in gran Canaria, but here they are. And remember that staff returns your mood, so if you are friendly, they are too.

“Good Pool and Good Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2006
10
people found this review helpful

The pool and pool side makes the critical difference and would grace many a 4 star hotel. All bungalow accomodation in a landscaped garden setting add further hints of superior quality, but density and absence of a vista does detract from the experience. And anyone serious about the self catering option, beyond bacon and egg and spag bol, will find the cooking facilities challenging.

Restaurant and pool side food is surprisingly acceptable with some quite good main dishes but an evening in the dining room and bar has all the atmosphere and charector of dining out in an airport lounge on a rainy Tuesday in January. Service often verges on the indifferent and is peppered with oddities such as you having to ask to get your phone connected, no porterage, no beach towels and bathroom towels that would be generous only as napkins or for dwarfs. Whether and when the rooms get serviced was rather random or perhaps linked to phases of the moon!

Although the location is hinterland the bus, taxi, or for that matter walking to Maspalomas beach, the market, shopping centres etc were all reasonable options. The main appeal is for those with children - as well as the pools there are various well worn but in the main operational games facilities and a kids club. In summary, the pool, low rise build, and landscaping lift the resort to above average for its category and we felt if was a good value offer for families in particular.

“Fantastic”

This was a fantastic holiday. Have been to Princess Bungalows on five occasions. Entertainment has always been good and this year the girl was brilliant and get everyone even the aduls taking part! The staff are friendly even the night staff say hello after they have been working all night. Had lunch by the pool every day because it was so good. Very close to the beach and Faro 2 so in ideal location. In short going back again because it just keeps getting better.
