Is it possible to get to Morocco or Casablanca from Gran Canaria? Are there excursion tours or cruises over to the North Africa? If so how do I access this information? If anyone has done such a trip please let me know how your experience was and was it costly?
Thank you!

Hi All
I have never been to Gran Canaria. Going the end of April 08. Staying at Airtours Beach Club - Gran Canaria - Has anyone been there? if so what did you think of it? Do I need to rent a car for my week stay? or is public transportation safe reasonable and convenient?
Thank you very much

I am off to Monte Anfi - a time share resort, has any body been there?. is there a super market near by or do i need a taxi. is there public buses from thi resort?. i am planning not to hire a car.

regards

Hi we have booked to go to this hotel and from the reviews i have come across on this site & others its looking ok & im happy with the choice, couple questions just in case anyone has been... we are only going for a week, just for pool & chilling, but anywhere we should try & visit & worth hiring a car or going on a rep tour?? (dont like them that much really) I went to gran canaria many years ago & saw the dunes so we will go there one day as think only a short walk or shuttle bus away.

Also, if you have been - any recommendations on which floor to perhaps request? higher one perhaps? thanks a lot. Jane

Hi
I would like to buy tickets for a football mathc at the Las Palmas stadium - Does anyone know if there is a website you can get them from, can you buy over the phone or do you have to go in person??

Cheers

I intend to go to GC (Maspalamos) at the end of January. Knowing that restaurants varies from bad tourist traps to gourmet restaurants; I would like some assistance. I would enjoy tips of good restaurants, be it gourmet or local cuisine. Not so much the posh stuff, but with chefs that really know how and what to prepare. Thanks in advance!

Three girls flying in to GC on New Years Eve wondering what the deal with pubs, bars & clubs etc???
Can we just rock up and is there plenty of places to check out. Or should we buy tickets for any where?
We're in our 20's and looking for summit lively!!
Thanks

How do you find the bus stop for the bus from the airport to Puerto Mogan.

Hi, everyone, I am coming to Las Palmas Dec. 20-25. I wonder if there is frequent boat lines between Las Palmas (or another point in Gran Canaria Island) to, say, S.C. de Tenerife? Are there other boat trip destination that is also worth a day trip? I understand that there are the "Armas" line, the "Transmediteranea", and the "Olsen Fred" company. But when I get one their websites, it seems they are saying no tickets are availalbe?? Also, although people say a trip between Las Palmas and SC de Tenerife taken only 45 minutes, for about 20 euros, on their websites it is said to take 1 or 2 hours, for 40-80 euros!! Why such difference? Is it because of the holiday season? Is it better to book those expensive tickets on line now, because they are hot and may run out, or there are actually plenty so I should buy them when in Las Palmas? Please advice, any information / suggestion appreciated!!

Hi,

I hope someone can recommend me a restaurant which I can book in advance for New Years Eve? I'm travelling together with my husband and 3 kids (4,7 and 9 years old), so it should preferable be in Playa de Amadores - a place where there is some fun for kids. We would also prefere a restaurant, where they serve canarian food!

Looking forward to your recommendations.

Best Regards Helle

Please can anyone tell me what bus do I need to get from Playa De Mogan to Maspalomas & how long does it take?

How do I get from the bus station in Maspalomas to the naturist beach? If I get a taxi where do I ask to go to?

My boyfriend is planning on booking us a holiday in february for my 18th birthday and i have looked at puerto rico and it seems great. just wanted to get some info on what the nightlife is like and what the weather will be like in february. thanks x

Im from Germany and wanted to go to Majorca, but found out that there's probably not much going on anymore in september.

However, I read on some forum that in Gran Canaria there was still a whole lot of partying going on during september?

whoever answers: thank you!

P.S.: I'm from Germany and in my early 20s, so Im looking more for a partying type of vacation than a relaxed one.

Could anyone give me two good tips for

- quality drinks for a great apéro and
- fine food for a nice romantic dinner

in Maspalomas or in the neighbourhood ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi, I'll be in Maspalomas 16 - 23 April, I wondered what the market days are in the area, ie Playa del Ingles, Melonaras.
I'd heard there's one in Puerto Morgan (spelling?) on Fridays, is that so? And how far away is that?
Many Thanks for any replies.

Does anyone know how I can get directions from the airport to the Club Maspolomas Apartments/Hotel.

I'm a travel agent and 1 of my regular customers doesn't want to wait until he arrives to get directions!

I found the following address when googling the names:
Avenida Touroperador Osl Wings, 1 Campo Internacional, Lote,14, 35100, Mas Palomas, SPAIN

Myself and the wife are going to Maspalomas in easter, and were wondering where the normal / nudist beach split line is, and how far along the coast does it stretch ? ( we dont want to offend the clothed people :-) ) Also, the wife has heard about a Spa nearby, and was wondering how many Good Spa's there are, where, and what do they do ( massage/mud bath etc ) and does anyone know rough costs for the Spa's ?
Cheers

Can anyone recommend some nice places on the island to snorkel? I will be with my 7 year old so it has to be child friendly, but we would like to see some interesting fish. Also are there any boat trips we should do to get a great snorkel?

Thanks everyone!

I wanna go to one of the Spanish islands work a sort of party vacation for 1 week..Ibiza is probably way too expensive for me, so it comes down to Majorca and Gran Canaria...Will there be enough party opportunities and German/English/etc. tourists in April or is this too early as its in the off-season..?

thank you
