This was my first visit to Gran Canaries and i was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the location of this hotel as it is quiet and the views are stunning, especially at nights. The appointments are spacious, well equipped, clean and the beds are extremely comfortable. The staff are helpful and friendly. The shops on site are well stocked and convenient, although the supermarkets are only a 10 mins walk away. The local bus station is about a 20 mins walk away where you can get on an air conditioned bus to explore other parts of the island cheaply. Restaurants and bars are also close by - the VIP pizzeria restaurant serves the best pizzas and garlic bread by far. I would definitely return here again.

been to these apartments many times never disappointed with staff or service the the royal apartments give you a safe in your room tv with english channels your own more private pool,dressing gowns ,and if you have been before free wine fruit+water cleaners come nearly every day ,we stayed on 3rd floor pleasant views minimal noise from center I would strongly sugest you budget for aircon we had regular temps of 33 36 very hot it only dips to 28 in the evening so it was shorts for the week not many were brave enough to walk about in long pants,dont listen to our weather forcasts it is usually 10 degrees hotter they measure temp from coldest part of island .now the bad bits beer has gone up average is now 2 euro,s still find some small bars at back end of the center upstairs. transfers we went with thomas cook flights great inbound transfer was terrible 60 peole on coach no aircon ,spent 2 hours on a 45 minute transfer due to some numpty thinking we would not mind going on half hour detour to drop just 2 passengers on a golf course hotel in middle of no were ,the double back to masspalomas to carry on with us IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO HAVE PUT THEM IN A TAXI. THE RESORT is starting to see some slow improvements lots of hotels starting to spend on there rooms ,some of the shops could do with a dose of reality there prices are wildly optomistic expecting you to take there word for quality dont be fooled look around and take your time compare prices cigarettes still cheap,spirits very cheap vodka not so much ,food prices have dropped to planet and miami in the first square are unbelievably good value .if you want a taxi to playa del ingles we took one from beach to beach for 25 euroes,priced jetski, 100 euro,s biit dear brolls and sunbeds 4 euro,s getting there to all in all still a nice resort for a family holiday and you have got angry bird world as well.PS DONT FORGET SUNSCREEN SEEN MANY KIDS WITH BURNT ARMS AND LEGS

Me and my partner have just returned after a weeks stay here. We stayed in the sun suites which were fantastic. Rooms were well equipped with everything you could possibly need and spotlessly clean. As everyone mentions, the balconies were absolutely huge and get the sun all day. We were on level 5 and the views were great from our balcony. There are also 3 pools to chose from (terrezamar, sun suite or sun suite Royal). We used the
Pool at the Royal as it was a
Much quieter than the other 2 pools with no entertainment, which I preferred, but if you have children the Sun Suite pool has the entertainment and kids club. The commercial centre was a 5 minute walk away which had shops, restaurants, bars etc. The hotel has a small onsite shop for your essentials but quite expensive so your best stocking up at Hipperdino or the Spar in the CC. There is also a bakery in reception which does fresh bread and sandwiches, burgers and also takeaway pizza that was lovely! My only bug bear of the hotel was that there was absolutely no entertainment whatsoever for adults and the bar closed between 10-11pm however, as the balcony was so lovely we were able to sit and have a nightcap there, so it didn't by any means spoil the holiday, but would have been nice to have a later bar/entertainment at the hotel if you didn't fancy staying out at the CC. All in all a great holiday and would definitely return in the future.
