General Comments
stayed 24Feb-9Mar 2008. Aged 59

2 star accommodation that is tired but surface clean. The bedding and towels clean, towels(which were soft/white) changed 4x in our two week stay. The complex was well maintained, pool and surrounding area cleaned each day while we were there, but you do need to be up early to see them(0700) start. General areas tidy and mopped but litter dropped by guests in corridors can be left for a day or two. Didn't see any nasty bugs(we were on first floor) nor any silver fish, a few tiny ants around edge of sun-bed areas and we saw them spraying around edges one day, so that was good. Sun-beds were free but again basic and plenty of them. THE POOLS ARE UNHEATED, but you do get acclimatised and need to keep swimming.

Yes it is on the flight path, being 1 minute flight from landing, which is quieter than should wind change and they take off over you. Keep your doors and corridor windows shut at night then planes not disturbing, I'm a light sleeper and fridge cycling disturbed me more than planes(not many in early hours), ear plugs worked well.

What you pay is what you get, reasonable value, many of other guests we spoke to were happy enough with Green Park and said well you don't spend much time in your room.

Kitchenette; hob has four rings but there are only three pans. Take your own scissors, sharp knife, corkscrew, egg cups. There is no kettle, or toaster/grill but you can hire them 15 euros each/wk (also hair drier), so take you travel kettle or buy one there form supermarket. Waste bins only emptied every other day & not on Sunday.

Overall staff pleasant and our dead light and dangerous socket outlet in kitchenette were dealt with promptly within 4hours impressive.

Do use the safe - again 15 euros wk. Pay television but unless your sports mad don't bother, watch a bars instead.

Do buy a bus card 12 euros (from Hole19 supermarket) its 30-50% cheaper to travel and get a proper timetable from bus station then you know when buses are coming and despite what they say they start their journeys on time. Its cheaper to go direct to Los Christianos on bus 483 and much quicker 20mins, half of time by bus 470.

If you want a cheap good supermarket then go to Mercadona yes it's a brisk 20min walk but you can catch the bus back and you'll save your bus fare on your first bottle of wine and they have some great meat and fresh fish.
