Relaxia Los Girasoles Bungalows

A little oasis of calm within easy reach of all amenities and a 25 min walk to the beach. The bungalows are spotlessly clean inside and the gardens and pool area were immaculate. Sunbeds available around the pool at all times . Highly recommended I wouldn’t hesitant in staying there again

I have visited Playa del Ingles many times over the years. The first time in 1998 when I stayed on the Santa Barbara Bungalows complex not far from Los Girasoles. On every visit since, we have stayed in an apartment block or hotel. We decided to visit both Gran Canaria and Lanzarote on our most recent holiday. When looking for accommodation my only prerequisite was that we stay on one of the many bungalow complexes for our stay in Gran Canaria. The Relaxia Los Girasoles was a complex I had seen whilst walking around on previous visits, but I had never been inside the complex. We found a very good deal for four nights through *******. Looking up the reviews and recent images, I didn't take long to ponder any other options and happily booked. We arrived for our short stay on the evening of Friday the 30th of May. I had put a request in the booking notes for a pool view if possible, but having seen the layout of the complex on Google maps, I knew it would be unlikely as only around eight of the bungalows in the whole complex look directly onto it. We were greeted by a very nice lady who completed all our check-in formalities, gave us some information about the complex and our bungalow. We were allocated bungalow 17, which although didn't look directly onto the pool, it could be seen if looking sideways from our front garden. We were issued two key cards. You will need to use one to activate power inside the bungalow. These bungalows appear to be newly renovated/decorated. We both really liked the modern and bright furniture and fittings. Upon entry, you are in the lounge/dining area which has a large sofa/bed, armchair, dining table and chairs, a small amount of storage, wall-mounted tv with a few English Speaking channels, including BBC1. There was a small and very well formed kitchenette which had a small hob, wall-mounted convection microwave, sink and fridge. The fridge did not have a freezer section so we were unable to have ice or ice creams. The kitchen despite its small size was really well equipped with good quality crockery, cutlery, glassware and cooking utensils. It actually felt a little more high-end than the price point we had paid. The bedroom at the back was quite large, the adjoining bathroom had double sliding doors which when opened made the bedroom feel like a large bedroom/bathroom suite. The toilet was sectioned off in its own cubicle with a solid door. Again the whole feel was a little bit luxurious, very modern with light decor and some different lighting options. The air-conditioning unit was located in the bedroom which was great at night, I do like a cool room to sleep in, and this was possible due to the highly effective and included air-conditioning. All the windows had adjustable mosquito screens apart from the main door into the bungalow, so if you do not like air-conditioning, you could open the bedroom and kitchen windows and get a natural through draught instead. The bedroom had plentiful hanging spa

I am a bit reluctant to write an excellent review as I would like to keep this property for myself. The property is so relaxing it really lives upto it's name. The bungalows have everything you need and are spotless. The pool is fantastic and was never busy when we were there, and we never had to rush down to get a sunbed. The property is close enough to the yumbo centre but far enough away so you don't get disturbed, about 10 minutes walk. The beach is about 15 minutes walk downhill and has a good selection of bars and shops as well as the yumbo centre. We always got a taxi back up from the beach at a cost of 4.25 euro. I would definitely recommend this property if you want a relaxing daytime. The nightlife is fantastic as well and we were told that certain bars stay open till 7am. The nearest shop is about 5 minutes walk but you can buy 5ltr of water from behind reception at a cost of 1.50 euro . The staff are really nice and will do anything to help. We will definitely go back.

4th time staying here. Pool area generally peaceful but occasionally can be used as a family area. Grounds beautiful and well maintained. Bungalows modern with air conditioning and cleaned to a high standard. In general most staff are friendly and welcoming. A special thank you to Miguel on reception for going above and beyond helpfulness and also Nieves for leaving our bungalow immaculately clean and always friendly and efficient. Will see you all again soon.
