Hi Brian
we looked into Cueva Pirata, but hey seem to be closed again. 🥴
I used to love the ‘top 5’ posts.
I think I’ll do one when I come back in December.We are going out at the start of December, does anyone know if it will be open then?
In the 13 years we’ve been going to Anfi (mainly in June) it’s never been opened.
Regards
Robert
I’ve rented out a couple times on this forum and also advertised elsewhere, however when I always ask where they had seen the ad-it has always been on here.
I also have had a few enquiries asking which specific apartment number it would be, which is impossible to tell on a floating week.
Based on my own personal experience, I probably wouldn’t bother advertising anywhere else in future.
Regards
Robert
Thanks for that report Roger
Hi Brian
I look forward to the link as I couldn’t make the meeting and some of the questions are quite interesting.

Robert
We were at Anfi June 4th-14th and I think the Cocktail bar was rarely open.
When we were at the cocktail bar pre-covid, it was quite nice, until he installed a pool table.

That would probably make sense of what I saw.
Only 1 or 2 reps, and they were speaking to couples at Gran pool, which would probably be existing members.

It was sad to see the flower boxes still empty on my balcony, although they are making good work on the flower boxes on the road into Anfi.
Apologies for not getting a picture of the full box, I was tinkering with a new camera.

Just as a side note, but a little off topic.
Given the news stories we saw before departure regarding long security queues at airports, we decided to purchase Fast Track security through Ryanair.
When we checked our bags in at Las Palmas, we were informed that there was no Fast track security at Las Palmas and that we should contact Ryanair for a refund, which I’ve now done.
It’s not a lot of money, but I’m not letting them have it for nothing-the website form only took a minute to fill in.
Incidentally, the security at Las Palmas was a breeze.Regards

We were here 3 time this visit and loved every time.
Food and service are superb.
it’s now our number 1 .
If you haven’t been, you really should.

We went once during our visit, and whilst it’s still a firm favourite, my wife found her pork dish quite tough.
Excellent service as usual.

We visited here last week and have to say that it was quite impressive.
The interior was lovely and it was very busy.
The food was good quality and I would certainly go back.
My wife said the Prawn Puri was sensational.
I must say that the restaurant section at the end of Mogan Mall os a lovely place to eat and I would recommend anyone to give it a bash.

Robert
We managed to visit here during the week and had a superb meal with a lovely view of the sunset over Anfi.
So much so that we have booked again for tomorrow night when it is our wedding anniversary.Glad to put it back on our ‘go to’ list.
I’ve read somewhere that it is important to get your passport stamped as you leave GC also, as it may affect ‘allowed time in European countries’ if this is not done.
I think as uk citizens we are only allowed 90 days in a 180 day period.
Can anyone shed any light on this?Thanks
robert.
We visited earlier in the week and probably won’t be back.
The food wasn’t as good as has been in the past, which was excellent.
I also thought €6 was a bit steep for a bottle of Cobra beer, although, even as a Scotsman, that wasn’t the reason😂.
it gives us a reason not to visit the shopping centre as we’ve never been the biggest fans of having menus thrust in our face from other places, although I realise they are only doing their job.We are here just now and have noticed that although there was never a maid service on a Wednesday or Sunday, there was always a bin change.
The bin change has been temporarily suspended.
Also there is no entertainment in the plaza in the evenings and nothing advertised on the entertainment board.
Are these just cost cutting exercises due to the administration?Whilst the entertainment was never the greatest, at least it brought an atmosphere to the plaza.
someone else said to me that Benito is no longer in the plaza in the evenings for the kids, although I’ve only got that news second hand.regards

I got the confusion cleared.
the ‘Spth’ form is from the Spanish government. You only need to complete that if you DO NOT have a COVID Passport, or DCC as it is called.
passenger locator forms no longer required at all.
we flew in on Saturday, first off the plane, passport stamped straight away and the ‘showing of the covid passport’ is only randomly selected.
we were through with no delay, just the usual waiting at the carousel.
I hope this helps someone.regards

Sorry to mess up your forum tidying by using the old thread but I couldn’t find a way to reply to the new thread or start a new one.
Robert
It actually feels strange to be travelling after 2.5 years.
Thank you both for the info, we’ll definitely give it a try.
Who doesn’t like a free wine/beer sample ??

Robert
ps. Brian, for clarification, is it the Taj Palace at the marina that is around 1/3 cheaper?
I tried it a few years ago and it was nice, but we’ve been going to Happy valley for so long.
Good addition, thanks.
Am I right in saying that this is fully open?
is it worth a visit and any restaurant recommendations for here?
regards
Robert
For Indian, I’ve always found Happy Valley in the PR shopping centre excellent.

Robert
