Restaurants and Bars
All meals are taken in the main buffet restaurant, where you’ll find a relaxed, family-friendly set-up and show-cooking stations at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

For drinks, there are two bars: the Tropical Pool Bar for daytime refreshments and snacks by the water, and the “El Faro Night Club” disco bar, open into the evening for cocktails and entertainment. Availability, opening times, supplements and reservation requirements can vary by season and board basis – always check the latest details on arrival. What All Inclusive typically includes.
Pool Areas and Beach
Water babies are spoilt for choice: the resort has three outdoor freshwater pools, including a children’s pool and a main pool with an integrated kids’ section. In the cooler months, the pools are usually heated (normally from 1 November to 30 April), and all come with loungers and parasols in dedicated sunbathing areas.
A colourful splash park keeps younger guests entertained with a tipping water bucket, water cannons, water dome, buckets and spouts, typically open between 10:00 and 18:00 (age/height restrictions may apply). Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit.
The sweeping sands and Sahara-style dunes of Maspalomas are around 2km away – close enough for easy beach days, but far enough to keep the resort peaceful.

Cyclists are well catered for with dedicated cycle services including bike hire, route information, secure storage, cleaning area and repair/maintenance facilities – a great base if you’re exploring Gran Canaria on two wheels.
Elsewhere, you’ll find a handy on-site mini-market for essentials, plus a 24-hour reception offering concierge-style assistance, luggage storage and hire of useful items such as kettles, fans, bottle warmers, pushchairs and wheelchairs (local charges may apply).
