Cay Beach Meloneras Bungalows

Location good.
Only used pool early doors for swim and spent rest of the time on the terrace of our Premium one bedroom apartment. View from main pool and bar area nice. Didn't use bar or eat. Check in was good. Apartment was fine and well laid out. Two beds, comfy chairs and dining table on the terrace. Dining table in kitchen. Bed settee in living room. Large TV, no remote, had BBC1/2 on. Small hob, microwave, small fridge freezer. Apart from occasional hiccup, wi-fi worked well. Apartment faced straight out onto the road which was fine and not too busy. Lacked a bit of privacy. Two biggest problems were the very noisy and dusty building work across the road (see photo). No getting away from it if you want to be at your apartment. Also what I think was a cricket somewhere in the apartment at night. I can sleep but it was so loud and echoing it woke me at least a couple of times a night. You really had to be there but it was bad. Great little supermarket on site. Big supermarket 10 minutes walk. Water cheap enough on site. Had to asked for our included coffee pod machine. Shower very powerful. Good mix of sun and shade on terrace as we each like one. Large safe deposit box 2 euros per day. I’m going 4 stars by recognising our cricket and the building work won’t affect everyone.

This was booked as part of a Jet2 package holiday, self catering so can't comment on food and drinks. We landed very lucky with the room (3201); a corner plot, big back patio area, with seats, sofas, loungers, clothes dryer. Front patio with seats and table looking straight out onto the pool. The apartment was big spotless and even came with some coffee for the machine and a small welcome bottle of cava. The bed was super comfy and the secondary pillow (long one) was a god send, because the other pillow is just the biggest fattest pillow I've ever seen. We were also lucky because we were able to extend our check out to 6pm for €25, which was perfect because typically our flight back is at night. The cleaning staff work hard, and I noted pool cleaners every morning. We're here in off season and it's very quiet, very few loungers used, so we never had a problem using two directly outside our room. The space we had borders on the most we've had and certainly surpasses some pricier hotels we've stayed at. The gym was clean and air-conditioned. Didn't use any other facilities. The staff were polite, but I wouldn't say overly friendly. I don't know if it's because it's off season but the on-site shop is only open till 14:00hrs. Evening opening times would be nice for a snack or emergency water, but then it's so quiet, it's probably not business savvy to keep it open. We bought cleaning sponges and washing up liquid on our first day, only to be provided them by the cleaners later that day lol. Beware it's a good 20/25 mins jaunt to the beach (Maspalomas), and 1.6km walk to Faro de Maspalomas (bus station)..there is also taxis that can be booked from reception. It's about 10/15 mins walk to the large Mercado shop. All in all a lovely, relaxing stay that certainly got our steps in.

2nd visit here. Very disappointed with the lack of evening entertainment. Only 2 nights out of 7. Was there in March and entertainment was very good which is one of the reasons we rebooked
