Comments:
A well proportioned break after the English winter. Good value for money in the current financial times when we are almost certain to have some well earned sunshine and relaxation.
Useful Tips:
The only downside in my opinion are the unrelenting scratchcard spivs. The old adage comes to mind "if it's free there is a con!"

Driving through the resort to our accomadation, i was like a child in a sweet shop. I was spoilt for choice of which bar i wanted to try first!! Accomodation, was basic but clean, and close to the Kasbah centre. The kasbah centre is a mix of bars and clubs and has something for most people, even a rock bar. You can sing kareoke, watch the footie in linikers bar, dance the night away in pacha and cream, so much to choose from, you'll not get bored. The only annoying thing is the ticket touts trying to drag you into their bars, with promises of cheap drinks, that arn't always that cheap. All in all this was my third visit to playa del ingles and hopefully won't be my last.
Useful Tips:
If you like water parks you should definatly try aqauland, a great day out, but take your own snacks, is a little pricey, or maybe its becouse i'd rather spend my money in the bars!

Comments:
The destination was very nice, there is a lovely beach and sand dunes to explore, this was the first time we went all incl, and found the staff on the outside bar at the pool were very miserable, i think it was because they were not getting tips, but overall the the food was excellent and the other hotel staff ok, but if i was to go back there i would go to puerto rico as we went to visit by taxi which cost 30 euros and it has a beautiful beach and harbour etc;
Useful Tips:
the place itself is very nice clean and tidy, but you will be paying up to 4 euros for a beer in some places, eating out you will be paying roughly the same as you would at home, buses are the best bet if you want to travel around as they are fairly cheap, the hotel i was in , Beverley Park the entertainment on a night time was ****,we made our own entertainment, but if you go out into town you can have a good night,but i suggest you would be better off going half board,

Comments:
My friend and i visited Playa Del Ingles in October 2007. I was looking for a relaxing holiay to soak up the sun where as my friend was looking for action and fun. Neither of us had been to Gran Canaria before so we had no idea what to expect. The hotel we stayed in (Sahara Playa) was located right next to the beautiful long beach, the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was excellent! There is something for everyone in Playa Del Ingles - lots of shops, trendy bars and restaurants and plenty of opportunities to try something more adventurous such as boat cruises, walks in to the mountains and scuba diving. The highlight of the holiday for my friend was when she went sandboarding on the dunes - like surfing but on the sand! The dunes are breathtaking, especially at night. The highlight for me was when we went swimming with sealions! and our trip to the spa was the perfect end to an unforgettable holiday.
Useful Tips:
Be wary of locals trying to sell you counterfeit goods (watches and sunglasses) and make sure you keep your valuables in a safe at the hotel. We didn't witness any crime, however it's always better to be safe than sorry!

Comments:
The country and area had a wonderful variation in aspects and types, enough to please anyone and I mean anyone. The weather was perfect all week with balmy evenings. The trips we took into the counrtyside, in our hired car, gave us a varied view on how the country survives and how the inhabitats work and live beside the holiday makers.
Useful Tips:
Make improptu visits to the hills and make your own way around the Island using a Hired Car.
