General Comments

Just got back from a two week stay at the Santa Clara Bungalows and it was excellent! This was my fifth time to Playa del Ingles but my first to Santa Clara. I was a little worried about what the bungalow would be like, as it was such a bargain. It was lovely, newly refurbished and really spacious. We booked a one bedroom bungalow for myself, hubby, daughter and baby. I thought we could make do with one bedroom but we were actually given a 2 bedroom. The bungalow also had a front and back garden that had gates, so it was really good for the kids. Not all bungalows were like this so we were lucky. Though it did seem that people with kids were given the ones with secure gardens.

The actual complex is also really nice, everything has been recently renovated so it all looked really nice. The pool bar was good, although only open till 5pm, with a happy hour where you get 2 beers for the price of 1, they also sold nice reasonably priced snacks. The only bad point about the Santa Clara was that the pools were freezing but that may have been because it was January!

The reviews I read beforehand, a lot of people complained about cockroaches and ants, I can honestly say that we did not see one single cockroach in two weeks. We had a few ants but there was spray provided in a cupboard. Just be careful not to leave food lying around!

The Greek restaurant next door does really nice food, not cheap though, but worth going to one night.

Santa Clara is also in a really good position, 5 minutes walk either way takes you to the Gran Chaparral, the Yumbo or the Kasbah.

We had a fantastic holiday and although we've only been back two days, I'm looking at booking again!
