What travellers are saying
- David SMiddlesbrough, UK2,398 contributionsThe beach stretches from Meloneras in the West to Playa del Ingles in the East. Running parallel to the beach are many hotels and several restaurants. My wife and I walked along the Golden Sands several times when in the area and the surrounding beauty and relative silence fantastic.Written 27 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrea S2 contributionsOur 1st time on the banana plantation on the 16th November 2024 it was so interesting.
We couldnt gave a better guide,
CYNTHIA was our tour guide,she is
very knowledgable, understandable and funny too.
Make it more special she involved the team in the conversation.
She told us the whole history and lots of interesting informations about the banana.
At the end of the tour we had the opportunity to taste and buy products made from different bananas and cactus.
Our favourite was the blue(vanilla flavour)and red banana(raspberry)what we tried later in Vegueta market .
We liked very much the banana liqueur and we bought as a souvenir.
We are very satisfied with everything and recommend it to everyone.

- Lee25 contributionsWe visited Mogán from Puerto Rico to experince the Markets on Friday predominantly and then the town itself.
And of course to have lunch and eat gelato.
What a fantastic experience we both had.
Using the Ferry Boats made this an enjoyable journey along the coastline.Written 24 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Roads are good but still quite scary and takes longer than it says on google maps. Rocky pathways around the site and under the pine trees (not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs).
Lovely lunch about 10 minutes away (south) at La CandelillaWritten 4 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The bus picks up from other places and on the way (see a leaflet) and return journey 15:15 closed Mondays. Great program good for all the family and funny too. Surprised how quick the time went. Food normal bar food but again not bad prices and well presented.Written 27 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew KAyrshire, UK513 contributionsA fantastic use of a traditional house.
From the moment you walk through the front door you are transported back in time following the discoveries of ancient mariners and explorers. There is even diary belonging to Christopher Columbus.
Then there are the paintings dating back to the 1700s. Look up and see the creations of master carpenters and painters.
If you are here on a Sunday entry is free up to 14:50 when the place closes.
The only downside was that a lot of narrative was in Spanish, but what a collection to marvel over. History, but not a lecture !Written 3 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
