Super Hotel 5 Tage Cala Blanca. Hätten ein neu renoviertes Appartment ganz oben Ebene 5. Top ausgestattet alles hochwertig 2 Flachbildschirme alle deutschen Programme. Küche komplett ausgestattet Blick vom Balkon ein Traum. Wir haben immer ne liege am Pool bekommen Reservierungen der liegen wurden unterbunden. Das Personal war Super gut besser als in fast allen anderen Hotels in denen ich bisher war auch 4 bis 6 Sterne. Mietwagen ist in jedem Fall zu empfehlen.

Wir haben mit Freunden unser Pfingswochenende (4Tage) in einem der konfortablen und geräumigen Appartments verbracht. Neben zwei bequemen Betten gab es eine Schlafcouch, die ebenfalls 2 "seperate" Betten bietet. Da wir den sprichwörtlichen "Appel und Ei" bezahlt haben, waren wir etwas aufgeregt, was die Qualität des Zimmers angeht. Ganz unbegründet: Es war eine Sensation! Großes Appartment mit voll ausgestatteter Küche, riesen Terasse mit Sonnenliegen und Tisch/Stühlen. Perfekt für Selbstversorger, aber auch auf Frühstücks-, Mittags- und Abendbrot- Gäste im Restaurant vorbereitet. Was uns wirklich positiv Überrascht hat, war die sehr sauber und liebevoll geführte Anlage. Alle waren stehts höflich und hilfsbereit. Das Restaurant ist gerade fürs Abendessen gut geeignet. Man kann aber auch auswärts Essen und die kostenlosen Shuttlebusse vom Hotel in die nächstliegnden Orte nutzen. Zum Strand ist ein Fussmarsch von ca. 15min nötig, den wir nicht als störend empfanden, schließlich ist das in den Buchten von Gran Canaria nicht unüblich. Und: je höher das Hotel liegt, desto länger hat man Sonne. Bei unserem Besuch wurde gerade ein kostenfreies DVD- Leihregal eingerichtet, und mit dem auf dem Zimmer verfügbaren DVD- Player und dem Roomservice kann der Abend auch im Zimmer verbracht werden. Die Schlafqualität auf der Couch wurde leider durch quitschende Liegen und spürbare Federkerne getrübt. Ich denke für Kinder eine ausreichende Unterbringung. Für Erwachsene allerdings nur für 4-5Tage angenehm. Tipp: Wir sind auf eigene Faust unkompliziert mit dem Linienbus vom Flughafen angereist (erst mi Nr.91 vom Flughafen nach Playa de Cura, dann mit Nr. 1 nach Taurito; Dauer ca. 1h).

This was our first visit to Cala Blanca in Taurito in SW Gran Canaria. We were not pleased to find that the directions to the resort we had were out-of-date due to the new GC-1 Motorway extension having been opened two weeks previously. It took us nearly an extra 30 minutes to find our way in the dark to the resort, having had to seek directions twice! The web site directions are now correct though.We knew that the resort was built on a hillside but the amount of stair-climbing was not excessive and there is a two stage elevator alongside the main central staircase. Nevertheless, you do need to be able to climb flights of 20 fairly steep steps to reach level walkways from some units. Not a problem unless you have a disability or are elderly.The unit we had was spacious with a large and comfortable double bed; a living room/dining area; a bathroom with a good-sized shower (but no bath); aircon; and a small but well-fitted out separate kitchen. There was also a great terrace outside with two sun-loungers, a table and four chairs, and a parasol and stand. The terraces face west so got the sun in the afternoon and evening during our stay.There was a small gym, pool, an outdoor table-tennis table, pool tables and a good well-heated pool with unusually some sections being well over 2 metres deep (but no children¿¿¿s pool). The pool (when not too crowded) is also over 20 metres long allowing lengths to be swum at quieter times for those who like to do that.There are daily free shuttle bus services at certain times to Puerto de Mog¿¿n; and Playa Amadores and Puerto Rico. The onsite shop is naturally a little more expensive than the supermarkets but is useful for topping up on missing items and for fresh bread. You can also arrange for orders over ¿¿¿30 to be delivered free from Spar in Puerto de Mog¿¿n.We found the resort staff very friendly and keen to assist.The pool bar and restaurant serves breakfasts, lunches and dinners with snacks available at all times, and a happy hour twice per day. We had dinner on the evening or our arrival and found the service speedy although the restaurant was moderately busy. The food was relatively cheap but was quite basic ¿¿¿ wholesome enough but hardly likely to win any Michelin stars! There was a Saturday afternoon promotion offering a range of items (eg drinks, chips, buregers, sandwiches) for ¿¿¿1.50 each which was very good value, and useful if you depart late on a Saturday.A shower room was made available as we checked out at 10:00 but didn't fly out until the evening.The resort is a reasonable base for accessing the interior of Gran Canaria and well under an hour¿¿¿s drive from Las Palmas. There is some great hiking on Gran Canaria provided you have done some research and purchased a walk book and map.We did morning runs from the resort with a nice circuit in the Taurito valley down to the beach, but the climb back to the resort is a tough way to finish.A good resort made even better by the friendly staff and a manager very keen to seek, listen to, and act on feedback.

My wife and I had a lovely week at Cala Blanca recently.We were pleased with our week's stay there, but above all, from the moment we arrived, mid- Saturday evening, until the day we left, seven days later, the staff at Cala Blanca were EXCELLENT.Everybody we met from the reception staff, the maintenance people and the housekeeping staff were superb. Lots of smiling faces and a good morning/afternoon etc whenever we met them PLUS, if we had a query(no complaints, we hasten to add) it was dealt with quickly and efficiently by whoever we spoke to. The apartment was lovely and fully met our needs and although we only ate in the restaurant a couple of evenings we found the food and service very good. The barbecue on the Thursday was very good value for money.Our apartment was at the bottom of the complex, near the road, and having read reviews from others were a little unsure of what to expect. However everything was fine and we heard very little road noise and as we live in a very rural area, traffic noise can be offputting. In fact we used it to our adavntage a couple of times for catching buses into Puerto de Mogan. When one goes down, another will follow in around 10/15mins - just time to walk to the bus stop. We believe the new motorway extension may be taking some of the traffic away.Our only minor gripe, but it didn't affect us was the 'towel brigade 'appeared to be in evidence - 10 people in the pool or in the restaurant/bar, but far more more towels out. This was despite being told on day 2 that they would be removed. It was not busy when we were there so not a problem but...The shuttle service is excellent and you are provided with a little pass. If you want to eat in Puerto de Mogan for example, you could get the shuttle down and either the public bus back(1.40Euros one way) or, for around 7/10Euros, depending on the lateness, you can get a taxi back. I also agree with other people that the road up to Cala Blanca from the bus stop is NOT to be recommended in darkness.We had seen one or two mixed reviews prior to going but we were very pleased with our holiday here and will go again. All too often it is the complaints that we read/hear about but definitely NOT on this occasion.

My partner and I mainly chose this hotel because of the port/sea views on the pictures and we found a pretty good deal on a room too. I phoned up via Venere and had direct contact and so could ask for a specific room higher up the complex with the views and any other wishes we had. When we arrived they told us the rooms higher up were being renewed and that they had arranged a different room but still with great views. We expected the worst because we didn't know what we were getting. But it was great! Big balcony, splendid views of the beach and Puerto de Mogan and the apartment had all the facilities you want. The staff was very nice, genuinely nice and helpful. Everybody said Buenos Dias and Gracias with a smile on their face. A couple of nights we used the room service and ordered dinner from the menu. It was quick, warm and no extra cost. DVD's can also be rented with no extra cost. The hotel is located at Taurito, which is a bit isolated and you will depend on busses and taxis if you don't have your own car. We rented a car for just ¿¿¿80 for the whole week. It was well worth it. We had the freedom to do anything at our own pace, it was great. The roads are very well maintained. I would strongly recommend going to Puerto de Mogan. We parked at the Dino supermarket and walked to the port. Just as you walk into the town you bump into the grill restaurant called Zona Verde. Delicious food and very friendly staff!! As you go further into the town there are beautiful colorful flowers everywhere, covering the streets, gardens and houses. Tip: Go to the lighthouse for a cool drink and some tapas.If we would go back we would definitely stay at Cala Blanca again.
