PDI has something for everyone, whilst it has a big party scene it also has alot for families and couples alike. The street sellers are fairly harmless, an annoyance and nothing more, firm "no" and they leave you alone. Drinks being spiked is only really an issue in the "youth" areas and no more so than it is back home, anyone should remember not to take drinks from strangers and not to leave drinks unattended.

there is plenty to do for all ages Maspalomas has the best waterpark. see their website

Also holiday world is like a little amusement park

Western night out at Sioux city http://www.siouxcity-grancanaria.com
Camel riding, dolphin spotting. sand dunes of maspalomas. and some fantastic scenery. There should be plenty to do.

Which hotel is it by the way?

Hey,

Hotel Barcelo las Margaritas...though I have just gone back onto the travel agents site and all the prices have gone up, so I dont think i will be going to Gran Canaria after all

Thanks for the reply anyway,

I always go to PDI and there is lots to do or nearby. Ice skating, water parks, mini golf , play parks, amusements but if you're going to Barcelo Margharitas you wont need to go out of the hotel it's all laid on for kids. It's a great hotel, my friend used to be an entertainer there!
