Further Description:
Playa del Ingles, Gran Canaria's largest holiday resort, the second largest resort of its kind in Europe in fact (after Benidorm). It's a place to get lost in, an ideal resort for you if you're travelling with a group of friends perhaps, or a couple looking for plenty of action by night after days lazing on the beach or by the pool.
During the summer holiday period of July and August it's very much the ideal place for "young fun" or "18-30" style holidays. Known for its beach and nightlife, it proves ideal for the younger crowd during the summer. For the rest of the year it proves popular with everyone, all ages and all nationalities.
The mix of people is mainly made up of German and English but the mix of Scandinavian, Dutch and other European nationalities is very much present too. Unlike Puerto Rico, there's no mountains to conquer in Playa del Ingles. Very much built on one level with major bus routes passing through town, it's an easy place to get to and around. Maybe the hardest journey you'll have to make is from your apartment or hotel to the beach.
The bus or cab only goes so far and from there, a large part of the resort is a one mile walk from the sea, some parts the more direct route is actually accross the sand dunes. Obviously, choose your footwear wisely before you set off on what's more of a daily pilgrimage for hundreds of people staying in Playa. Hundreds go the other way round, heading to the Annexo II center then walking along the beach until they've found their favourite spot.

Just a short stroll from the seemingly endless beach at Playa del Inglés the friendly Sandy Beach is at the centre of the lively resort.
Built in part-Moorish style it is owned and run by Seaside Hotels that operate the Grand Hotel Residencia and the Palm Beach. It represents good value for money and is an ideal choice for families and those who like to be entertained. There’s a lovely circular outdoor pool, a pool for children and a baby pool. The varied programme of daytime activities includes children’s games and evening live music and dancing.
Breakfast and dinner are served buffet-style, lunch ŕ la carte, and dinner can often be enjoyed alfresco on the terrace near the pool. The resort centre of Playa del Inglés is a vibrant place and its excellent choice of bars, cafés, restaurants and neon nightlife is just moments away.

Close to the dunes of Gran Canaria’s sunny south, the Gran Hotel Costa Meloneras is the country’s largest and, arguably, most impressive hotel - it was voted ‘Best Holiday Hotel in Spain’, and was a runner-up for best architecture.
A huge variety of facilities and leisure pursuits, including a Spa and Beauty Centre, tempts guests who could easily spend their time indulging in a different activity every day! A tree-lined driveway leads to the entrance, and wooden balconies, red-tiled roofs and patios in the different wings enhance the authentic Canarian architecture. There is a vast pool, The Lake, that even has a beach. The staff are attentive and welcoming and, although the hotel has over 1,000 rooms, their personal approach means guests are treated as friends rather than tourists. Outside there are acres of fantastic gardens including several waterfalls with music and lighting that enhances them!
