We’re in GC at the moment and the weather has been patchy with highs of 21/22c but nights need jackets!
I’am usually very fussy about the resorts we go to but this time because we went last minute it was the hotel that took priority and is fab but it’s in Playa de English which is the s
t hole of st holes and taking taxis to get out of the place every day.
To be honest it has put me off the Canaries and would fly back now with 4 days remaining.

thole its guaranteed to be in the Canaries and Playa del Ingles is right up there with Playa de las Americas in Tenereffe and Puerto del Carmen in Lanzarote.Having a car and self catering in a quiet village well away from the beer and chips in the sunshine hordes makes for a far more pleasant experience no matter which Island you're on.

Completely agree DIY is the best option, it's half term at the moment so must be horrendously Council.thole its guaranteed to be in the Canaries and Playa del Ingles is right up there with Playa de las Americas in Tenereffe and Puerto del Carmen in Lanzarote.Having a car and self catering in a quiet village well away from the beer and chips in the sunshine hordes makes for a far more pleasant experience no matter which Island you're on.

The resort makes the series Benidorm seem upmarket!

Off to GC on Tuesday for a week, hope it warms up a bit in the daytime. That's jeans and jumper weather.I’am usually very fussy about the resorts we go to but this time because we went last minute it was the hotel that took priority and is fab but it’s in Playa de English which is the s

I”ve been in GC for the last 3 days and it has been lovely during the day. In the evening I wear a light jumper but still out my shorts on.Tomanybikes said:

Either just enjoy the hotel or hire a car. You're not missing anything back home, enjoy 20+ degrees in Feb while you can.I’am usually very fussy about the resorts we go to but this time because we went last minute it was the hotel that took priority and is fab but it’s in Playa de English which is the s

We are staying in the Riu Vistamar, the rooms overlook Amadores beach.
We usually stay in Puerto Mogan but couldn’t get the hotel we wanted and foolishly booked Beach of the English._Rodders_ said:

I recommend hiring a car and driving up to Roque Nublo, I've driven up there a few times. Some nice villages for lunch on the way up and spectacular views once up there.
More twists and turns than a bent spring but I always like. GC to a Jaffa Cake. The nice bits are all in the middle. By and large, all the tourist places are Benidormish or Boringdormish, depending on what you want. Certainly P del I retains that authentic 70s politically incorrect cringeworthy drag queen tripe that masquerades as entertainment.
