San Valentin & Terraflor Bungalows-Studios 2 stars

The San Valentin & Terraflor Bungalows-Studios are in a quiet area of Playa de Ingles and close to the famous Yumbo centre where guests can enjoy the shops, restaurants and the entertainment bars and night clubs that are open to the early hours of the morning.

The Golf de Maspalomas is a short taxi ride away where you can also learn new skills or even try golf for the first time at the golf school, where they hire out equipment for a daily charge and a small refundable deposit may also be required.

Whilst members of the family enjoy a round of golf, others can keep up with the latest fashion trends by checking out the many shopping centres, including the factory outlet with designer shops, or you can hop on the local bus that stops close to the complex and can take you to the island's capital; Las Palmas, where the pretty streets are full of boutique shops and there is also the newly built shopping centre that can be found as you head towards the port.

The reception desk is only available for limited times throughout the day and evening and guests will be given a warm welcome additional to the services that they can provide such as currency exchange, luggage storage, laundry service, rental of the safety deposit boxes, tourist information and the sale of excursion tickets for days out with the family.

Because of its location the complex offers a shuttle bus to the resort centre and beachfront, where there is a number of exciting water sports to take part in such as water skiing, banana boats or parascending and there are sun loungers scattered across the beach, if you would rather just relax under the Canarian sun and just watch.

The swimming pool is perfectly sitting under the hot Canarian sun for guests to take a dip, or there are many sun loungers on the surrounding sun terrace for you to just chill out and relax in the peaceful setting, whilst keeping in touch with friends and family back home with the hotels Wi-Fi that is available in all communal areas.
