“wonderfull, excellent”

Accomodation was perfect,even more than we excepted. Staff was realy helpfull.nice view on the sea from window.totaly perfect what to say, just go and see on your own

“Relaxing child-friendly break”

Basic but well-appointed apartments. Very importantly it was cool in the evening and could get a good night's sleep. The pool was lovely, overlooking the harbour and always lots of sun-loungers available. Very friendly and helpful staff. Visit the tourist office for advice on what is on locally. We did not need a hire car, enjoyed using the local buses. Local supermarkets were expensive, so we shopped for fruit, vegetables and cheese at the local markets - highly recommend Puerto de Mogan and Aguinegan markets. Malpalomas, Playa de Ingles also worth a visit and dinner. Strawberries were fab! Best we have had in years. Steps to the resort were manageable, but not for the elderly or infirm. Restaurants all good, particularly the ones at the bottom of the steps and turn left. Take a boat trip to see the dolphins - it was worth every euro!

“Relaxing stay, will be back!”

After being delayed at Madrid Airport, following the Spanair accident, we were welcomed some 2 1/2 hrs late.The room was light and airy with the basic facilities that we were expecting.We went to the pool bar and enquired about some food, this was provided by the chef (Dean)even though the kitchens had closed.We ate at the pool bar for all but one of the nights during our stay.There was a variety of choices available and it was all cooked fresh.The bar staff Anita and Julie were very helpful and made us feel at ease during our stay.There was no air conditioning in the room, (advisable to hire as fan as the nights were very sticky and warm).The pool area was clean and tidy.We would book again at the Ipanema Park.The other guests were mainly Irish,I believe there was an Irish travel company that has Ipanema on its books,(leaflets in the reception).Take care using the steps,some of them were not very secure so be careful.

“Definately going back and have already told my freinds about it!”

Was worried that the 1980's photos on the website meant that it was run down and ready for the buldozers! Other reviews led us to take a chance. I'm so pleased we did. The whole complex is well maintained and well looked after. It is spotless and very clean. The location is fantastic, very close to the town and beach, tucked away enough to be very quiet. All rooms have balconies / terraces over looking the open sea and horizon. We could not afford to eat in a restaurant with simular views, so we didn't bother. Supermarket just around the corner. Dolphin trip well worth the money. We completely chilled out in the sun, did very little. That was the point of our trip and we managed to find the perfect place to do it at Ipanema Park.

“Ipanema Park”

Very nice apartment for a 2 star (no air con), hotel staff very nice and all spoke english. Bar staff english & bar has happy hr twice a day. Small pool but never too crowded and loungers always available. Lots of steps to Ipanema Park tho! Shops, restaurants, beach, marina all within 10 mins walk max so everything at hand Weather 25 degress min even through Oct Money goes a long way, would recommend a boat trip to see dolphins (get a trip that guarentees a sighting tho) Great holiday and would recomeend to anyone for a stress free short hot break Only downside was flight. Would have been better to do a direct flight rather than a stop over change at madrid (took too long), and no food provided on flight unless paid for.

“Nice to get away.”

The hotel wa lovely apart from the window was broken and we did not get the room we ordered. The view was lovely, it over looked the harbour and the sea. The hotel had theme night which was nice.

“No frills but great views and good value”

The apartments at Ipanema Park are basic but clean, tidy and appeared to have been refurbished fairly recently. All have a spacious terrace or balcony with lovely views over Puerto Rico harbour. They are about a 10/15 minute walk outside the main part of the resort, but as far as we were concerned that was a very good thing as it meant that they were quiet and un-overlooked. To walk into the resort you need to negotiate 131 steep steps down from the hotel, so probably not great for the less mobile - unless you are prepared to take taxis everywhere, which isn't an awful idea as they are abundant and fairly cheap. Pool area was large, clean, overlooking the harbour and got sun all day long. Plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas. Reception, pool bar and housekeeping staff were all very friendly and helpful. There was entertainment at the pool bar on most evenings. The resort itself is pretty large and exists entirely for the benefit of tourists so there is no shortage of souvenir shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants (though they all have more or less the same menu. Some good fresh fish though.) If you want to see the 'real' Gran Canaria you will need to either hire a car or take some coach trips. I would recommend Ipanema Park if you are looking for a sun and sand holiday without breaking the bank.

“Good stay for a Good Price”

Nice, clean appartments in quiet part of Puerto Rico - Gran Canaria (Spain) Small, but very clean pool with enough sunbeds. You absolutely need a car for this destination.

“Basic, clean, comfortable.”

Ipanema Park was an acceptable place to stay. Clean, comfortable beds (2 single beds). Went mid March, nice pool, too cold to swim in. Steps are a pain. Staff friendly and helpful. Would recommend this hotel for the over 50's. Im 30, and would not recommend Puerto Rico to any under the age of 40 (minimum). Younger age group stick to Playa de Ingles, much livelier with variety of evening entertainment. Very little entertainment on offer on beach front in Puerto Rico, apart 'egg and chip' style cafe's. Center, about 10 mins inland offers irish bars and Elvis impersonators....not my thing. Found Puerto Rico very sedate, lacking any atmosphere. I thought there might be some bars around the Marina, opposite hotel.....nothing really around this area. Nearby eating places were acceptable. Weather was lovely during our stay. Beaches were nearby, and very pleasant.

“Great pool and room and very friendly helpful staff.”

Hotel very near the marina. Just a few steps away a very good selection of restaurants. Staff very friendly and most helpful - good English. Very clean rooms - cleaned every two days and linen changed. Beds rather hard and food rather mundane. Puerto Rico is a delightful place to stay.
