Firstly, this is NOT a bungalow & doesn't have a 1st floor balcony, because the 1st floor is converted to provide a shower/WC & 2 bedrooms. Very nicely done, but I would not recommend this property for elderly or infirm people if you need to use this floor; the stairs are very narrow, open for the first flight & without handrail. The ground floor bedroom although spacious with many wardrobes and en suite facilities, has a window only in the ceiling; this means it is darker at night (if you like that). As well as the new bathroom there are this shower room with WC & a bathroom also with WC. Both of these have windows but they are into the kitchen because the latter has been created from a covered terrace. This back terrace is great for getting the sun (in Jan/Feb from about 1100 through 1700), but when we arrived was totally unfurnished. Francisco bought us some bits and pieces but we suggest it needs an outside dining table & chairs. There is a very big table with some chairs for dining on the front terrace but this doesn't get the sun (North facing & partly covered). The kitchen is medium in terms of equipment. Some items were broken or didn't work very well. We had to buy quite a few things. There was no salt, pepper i.e. "pantry items" at all (to be fair, they weren't mentioned on the property listing). For us, staying for 2 months, this wasn't a problem, but for people staying only a week or two this could be annoying. The property was acceptably clean when we arrived, and, on request, enough towels and sheets were provided. In fact Francisco responded well and quickly to our requests for extra things that we needed for a 2-month stay - wine glasses, salad spinner, clothes pegs etc. There is a small but very well-stocked Spar just outside the entrance, whose prices, surprisingly, were at least as good as in the bigger stores in Maspalomas. We used the restaurant on our first night as it was Epiphany. Too cold for evening dining. No inside space & often too windy. There are no other facilities in walking distance. The beach is sandy, quiet, clean (spoiled by people taking their dogs there, which they are not supposed to do) and the sea in Jan/Feb was warm enough if you are a swimmer. I didn't try the pool. Outdoor gym only open 0630-1130. You will need a car for visiting places. All in all a great place to stay if you just want to laze about or live a normal life. Not so good if you want night life and eating out regularly.
