8-21/3/22 We three middle aged brits had booked a fortnight in Gran Canaria in this resort. We arrived on a Tuesday evening having got off the express 66 bus (from the main airport) at the Jumbo centre (although the previous stop Plaza Maspolomas is just as close) and walked the 500m to the gates of the resort. On ringing the bell on the gate we were buzzed in, went down the path to reception to meet the masked concierge who checked us in. He took us to the lift which would take us to the fourth floor. Unfortunately it was tiny and a sign specified one person only (with suitcases). I walked up the stairs, no big deal for me but be aware of this. The apartment 412 was directly by the stairs. In we went to find a fairly spacious and clean space with a kitchen to the left, twin bedroom to the right, proper BATHroom, a larger twin bedroom all leading off a long lounge with a fairly big balcony at the end separated by a big sliding glazed door. Kitchen Steel sink, plug and draining board with crockery draining cupboard above. Induction 2 hob at end by big fridge freezer (fed by a single socket behind, make sure you close the main door properly, this on (421) stuck slightly ajar). Shared lounge work surface with the only available electrical socket, servicing a simple microwave and filter coffee maker. A variety of pans, frying pan, plates, egg cups, teacups, saucers, wide bowls, tumblers, small glasses, small wine glasses, cutlery. A small steel teapot poured most of the tea behind it so near useless. Cooking implements were ok, including corkscrew (with broken screw), whisk, spatula, soup ladle, cheese planer, bread knife, chopping board, lemon squeezer, white China salad bowl, blue plastic fruit bowl, tray and (hurrah) an ice tray in the freezer! A welcome sealed kit of nylon sponge, washing towel and washing up liquid was welcome (it lasted us the fortnight). Under the sink was a bin and dustpan and brush, a small broom would have helped us as we are self catering and cleaning! The only light was a central overhead light with a low powered LED in it. As there were no sockets near the sink I could not plug my emergency bulb anywhere to shed light on preparing food as one worked in one's shadow from the light above. I plugged it into the shared surface, double thankfully, socket which was low, too far away and so inadequate. I wonder sometimes if architects actually cook! If you are working at the shared surface mind your head against the shelf above. On the first day we broke to small tumblers as I had put them in the freezer to chill for some white wine. We replaced them cheaply from the big Chinese Shop in San Fernando. We also added a big matching white tea mug, working waiters friend and two tall cocktail tumblers. I nearly bought a measuring jug too! The lack of a kettle was the most annoying thing but I ordered one from the reception so it was not standard issue. It arrived before we got back from the pool, brand new! In the lounge w
