Sandy Golf Bungalows Reviews
" We have just got back from Sandy golf... "
Submitted By: Miss Joanna Biggs
We have just got back from Sandy golf bungalows and it has been the best holiday ever.
Everything was so clean and tidy and the swimming pool was great and big.
We never had to rush to the sun beds because there was always some there.
There are lots of shops and resturants which are the best.
A shopping centre called the yumbo is the best it has resturants and lots of shops and bars.
We recommend a bar named diamonds it’s so friendly we went there every.
The taxis are cheap only about 2.50 euros depends on where you go but always cheap.
We do defiantly recommend this sandy golf bungalows and if you like golf there’s a massive golf course next door.

" Our 7th visit to Sandy golf. This... "
Submitted By: Mr R Pollock
Our 7th visit to Sandy golf. This year all of the bungalows have been sympathetically upgraded improving on what is a great location. We enjoyed returning each day to our little bungalow set in mini-botanical gardens.
We purchased through lowcostbeds.com which has lower prices than the travel agents and no under-occupancy supplements. We travelled with ThomsonFly.com - left feeling like cattle and shall be avoiding that airline in the future if possible.
A taxi from the airport is €35 and much less hassle and more comfortable than booking the overpriced transfers with the airline or travel agent.
A couple of reviews above mentioned having been broken in to. This happened on our first visit 7 years ago, so I would recommend purchasing the use of the safe for you visit.
We also purchased the use of the television and armed with a small DVD player and several movies have everything that’s needed for a night at the movies.
Cooking facilities are adequate/limited – local supermarkets are overpriced and often more expensive that eating out. Food in the Sandy Golf/Green Golf restaurants is edible but uninspiring - a better selection of restaurants only a short walk away in Faro 2 Centrum
This year we went on the dolphin/whale see seeing boat trip. This is a great trip and we managed to see loads of dolphins and the occasional flying fish – take your camera and a get ready to be impressed.
Wi-Fi would be a nice addition if anyone at Cordial is reading this!
Overall a great place for couples and friends to have a relaxing break in the sun.

We had a fantastic holiday. The apartments have recently been refurbished and they are beautiful.
The gardens around them are stunning and the complex is maintained to a very high standard. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
We would definitely recommend the Sandy Golf Bungalows to anyone and will definitely go back there.

" Recently retired, we were looking for... "
Submitted By: Mrs M S
Recently retired, we were looking for accommodation that would attract adults, rather than families with children and this was perfect.
As this was our first holiday (term time) it was lovely because it was so quiet. We had read reports of Sandy Golf and it sounded like what we were looking for.
It was lovely there...the gardens were great...the pool was very clean ...large enough for swimming across (it took me 50 seconds) and it was definitely heated while we were there (you could sit in the jets of hot water at one side of the pool.)
For those who said it wasn't heated... I think you were unlucky and that it wasn't working while you were there.
There were only ever 3 or 4 people in the pool and at times I had it to myself!
The weather was perfect... hot and sunny throughout the week.
I personally do not think the site and its facilities were particularly suited to children, as the pool was the only facility apart from a couple of swings.
Supermarket, restaurants etc were a 5-10 minute walk away.
Would probably go again if I was sure that the site had maintained its ambience.

" Just returned from a week staying at... "
Submitted By: Mr I Birkin
Just returned from a week staying at the Sandy Golf Bungalows. Very peaceful with beautiful gardens.
The pool was very clean but not heated so you had to be brave to go in but you soon warmed up as you became used to the water temperature.
Restaurant/bar has a limited menu but the food was of a good standard. Taxi ride to the shops/restaurants near the lighthouse at Faro Maspalomas is about 4 Euros but well worth it for a variety of eating establishments and shops.
Only downside was that our room was broken into and the safe was removed containing passports, tickets etc.
The hotel staff were obviously most concerned and very helpful in dealing with the police etc. I cannot praise the hotel staff enough for all the assistance they provided.
Sadly the same cannot be said for our travel representative, who apart from providing a telephone number for the police report, did not contact us at all to enquire how we were progressing and did not even let us know when the bus was going to pick us up for our return to the airport. We had to telephone the customer helpline.
We were very fortunate in the police finding the safe and most items being returned to us. Would return to Gran Canaria again and would consider the same venue despite our problems, however would not consider using My Travel again.

Submitted By: HJR
Clean and quiet. We did not know what to expect when we booked the trip at the last moment. So we were for a pleasant surprise. The pool was nice, but not heated. That is maybe the one minus point.
Appreciated the breakfast with a wide choice foods and fruits. Had also some afternoon snacks and one dinner at the restaurant. The food was quite good and the service personnel friendly and witty.
Originally wanted to have a place closer to the famous Maspalomas dunes. However, the free bus rides from Sandy Golf worked out nicely.

" First timers here - would go back... "
Submitted By: P Butler
First timers here - would go back again but not to these bungalows. The accommodation was excellent and staff very friendly. Not far from anywhere so why wouldn't we go back?
We have two children (7 & 6 yrs) and along with other children that had arrived during half term week, they played in the pool. In this one week we heard three complaints from other guests moaning about the noise the children were making.
This noise is the sort of noise you would expect children to make when they're having fun so nothing outrageous. The holiday companies definitely need to decide if this accommodation is for families or not! If people want a quiet, relaxing holiday why go to accommodation that advertises itself as "Family Friendly" and why go during half term week? We have to pay enough as it is as parents and we're locked into specific periods through the year these days so I'm not very impressed really.
We had one German chap walk from his bungalow out to the pool area telling the children to be quiet because he was resting. This was at 4pm in the afternoon!
Bearing in mind the complex bar closes at 11pm, 10:30 most nights because of the lack of customers and a general feeling that some guests prefer the children to be seen and not heard, I feel this place should concentrate on residents who want a quiet and relaxing time and stop misleading families with children into going somewhere obviously not appropriate.

" Our second consecutive stay at Sandy... "
Submitted By: Mr G Francis
Our second consecutive stay at Sandy Golf, the first was in September 2005. Once again we enjoyed a totally relaxing two week stay in refurbished apartments, excellent colour scheme with upgraded kitchens and bathrooms, plus ceiling fans to cool things down when the rooms got a bit hot.
Staff at reception extremely helpful and friendly. Even where the shower was faulty on Sunday afternoon, it was fixed by the evening. You wouldn't get that sort of service in England!
Cannot recommend these apartments highly enough, especially if you want a relaxing holiday. For those that like the nightlife, Playa del Ingles is a long walk, or a short cheap taxi ride away.
Excellent Pool, very clean and if you want a good meal, go to Melonaras Playa, an hour walk or 4 euro taxi ride away to Sea & Golf, right on the sea front and an excellent place to watch the setting sun. Ask for Hassan, el camerero, who will give good service.

" Just got back from 1 week here and... "
Submitted By: Miss L Fearon
Just got back from 1 week here and thought it was fantastic. The rooms were beautifully furnished and immaculate when we arrived. They were cleaned everyday except Wednesday, fresh towels provided every day and the sheets were changed twice during our stay. The kitchen was quite basic but not a problem as we didn't go on holiday to cook. The only thing we missed was a tin opener for the tin of fruit cocktail for our home made Sangria.
The pool and pool area were excellent although we only spent two days here. We never had a problem getting a sun bed even though the majority of guests were German. Only used the bar and restaurant on site once but found the food and drink to be ok and the staff were extremely friendly.
We ate at the Faro II most nights as there is quite a good selection of restaurants with a wide variety of choice not all burgers and chips.
Our rep recommended the Yumbo centre as an excellent place to shop and eat. But I have to say I was extremely disappointed as it was just Blackpool in the sun full of tat shops and English breakfasts. The shopping centre near the beach in Maspalomas was much better.
We went on the super cat (catamaran) on one of the days and this was worth every penny. I would highly recommend this.
I would definitely go back here as it had everything needed to make a perfect holiday.

Submitted By: Mrs S Hastie
The complex had just re-opened after refurbishment and the bungalows were freshly decorated. The pool is massive so it never gets crowded and the gardens surrounding the bungalows are lovely.
The only down side is that it is a bit of a walk to the nearest supermarket and you really need to go to Playa del Ingles if you're looking for entertainment and a good selection of restaurants in the evening although only 3 euros in a taxi.
Overall a lovely complex if you're looking for a quiet holiday.

" Absolutely lovely complex - quiet,... "
Submitted By: Miss A Waite
Absolutely lovely complex - quiet, relaxing, beautiful gardens and amazing swimming pool.
This complex is in a great location - walking distance to all the things you need - Faro 2 is the main shopping centre nearby with everything you need 7 days a week.
Is joined to Green Golf- you can use the facilities and there is a small supermarket on their site you can go - not too pricey for the convenience.
If you love gardening, you will love this resort- I am 23, but even I liked the gardens that surrounded the bungalows.
Our only problems were:
The kitchens are quite basic- no oven or microwave, but as long as you are happy cooking on top - i.e. pasta / frying, you will be fine- there are too many nice restaurants near by to stay in all the time.
We had an attempted burglary - our door wasn’t the most secure- but the staff were brilliant and came instantly to our room and secured the door- we were right next to reception and I think he was a novice as we were the second to get hit - but the other property's door was wide open.
I cannot explain enough how amazing the pool was- peaceful- and no fighting for sun beds. No screaming kids - which was great - not that kids are a problem - just nice to have some peace and quiet.
Staff were brilliant and the setting was perfect for a week in the sun - I would seriously recommend - and Portland as usual were great travel company (although everything done through parent company Thomson once there).

Submitted By: Mr JS Starks
It was my 2nd trip to Gran Canaria and it was a fantastic one to. The staff were friendly and very helpful and the pool was nice and clean and fun to play around in.
The brilliant part was where it was located, it was in the quiet part of Maspalomas which was peaceful and lovely. Also there was the faro 2 shopping centre across the road so you could go there for a night out or to get some food.
Also the bus service was good and on time and I also liked the yumbo centre which is a few miles away. Also the water park was great for all ages but it is very hilly so not so good for older people. All and all a very good trip and I cant wait till I go back next time.

" This was our tenth consecutive trip... "
Submitted By: Mr G Francis
This was our tenth consecutive trip to Gran Canaria since the year 2001. We have previously stayed at Green Golf and at El Palmeral apartments, but found that our latest stay at Sandy Golf rated highest in our trips to this lovely island.
The apartments are set in attractive gardens with a central swimming pool. They were clean and comfortable and not too hot at night despite the lack of air conditioning.
My wife and I felt so relaxed for the whole fortnights holiday. The reception staff were friendly and helpful.
My one slight criticism is that the kitchens in these apartments could be slightly better equipped for those who want to self cater. There are just two hot plates and no oven apart from microwaves, which can be hired.
I would thoroughly recommend these apartments although my understanding is that next May they are to undergo refurbishment work, so check availability before booking.

" We wanted a relaxing week of sunshine... "
Submitted By: Miss R Sparrow
We wanted a relaxing week of sunshine and that’s what we got.
The bungalow was fine - clean and well-equipped. Ideal for two people but a possible squash if there had been three of us. The drying area was fab - make sure you take pegs though! The whole complex was clean and tidy with amazing flowers. The only down side was a noisy family opposite but I guess that can’t be helped. Reception also quickly dealt with the cockroaches that appeared a couple of times!
The pool was lovely with plenty of sun beds and shade - although it was Easter weekend it was never crowded.
The rep was ace - no hard sale and full of useful information - directing us to suitable eating places and being generally helpful.
The free bus service was good, the supermarket well-equipped and the trip to Garbo’s was cheesy but fab!
We had a top week and are going back next Easter!

Bungalows are very clean and towels and bedding changed every other day.
No activities during the day or night so expect a relaxing holiday. Great for my family as the kids were only interested in the pool.
Supermarket is across the road at the Green Park Bungalows. Very limited choice in here but great for the essentials. Use other supermarket in Faro II for more variety.
If you need your own taxi transfer from the airport - it costs around 35 Euros each way.
In the evening, we found the best restaurant in Faro II Centre. Called Las Tapas on the 2nd floor with the green umbrellas overlooking the children’s play area. Food and service was excellent. Spent most of our evenings here. Tried other restaurants in Faro II and in Playa del Ingles and the lighthouse (Melonoras area) - Still Las Tapas served the best food and drink! Highly recommend a visit!
Visited Aqualand! Great place but expect to dip in your pockets. You pay to get in 39 Euros for adults and 26 for children. You need to hire a locker at 4 Euros and you need to pay for sunbeds although we did not bother as we spent all our time on the rides.
You can hire your own inflatable at 5 Euros plus 5 deposit. This can be used on 3 rides but really is only beneficial on one! Wouldn't bother next time use the free ones! Food is dearer than in resort!
Other than that great fun!
