Hi christinette, Do you mean The Turbo Club Hotel in Maspalomas? We stayed there end of september 2005 and found the place to be very clean food well cooked and plentyful the staff very friendly. It is an all inclusive hotel. The kids were all back at school when we went so it was nice and quiet,what it would be like during school holidays/xmas I cant say. We enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it. Hope this helps.......regards.....mike

would have thought A/I would be best with children, myself I always go self catering, and always go Gran Canaria - Maspalomas, if there's anything you want to know just ask. Have a brill time whatever you do.

Hiya,

It all depends on what you're planning on doing while you're there and what the price diffrence would be. One thing to bear in mind that alot of people don't think of is that most AI places don't have a fridge n that is a big thing to think of in the canarian heat.
There is loads to do both day and night in GC so you need to weigh up whether it'll be worth your while, again looking at price difference. Hotel restaurants in GC can be very fish based although there should be some other options, also check out what kind of AI it is n if there is gonna be any additional costs for certain drinks during the day and ice cream etc as i've worked in hotels that did this and my customers weren't aware of it. Food and drinks can be very reasonable in restaurants but like anywhere it depends on where u go. Supermarkets are a bit more expensive for british branded stuff but there is plenty of choice in the spars and nettos. If you wanna know anything more specific just let me know

You should check out the quality of the food first before thinking about AI. Nothing worse than paying AI then having to pay to eat out if the food's not good.

The Turbo Club seems to be quite good food wise, Click Here to read our reviews of this hotel. Someone has just come back from there.

we go to Puerto Rico (most times) in GC and always self catering. we find the food very reasonably priced and plenty off restaurant choice.

Hi,

Thinking about booking a weeks all inclusive at the Turbo Club. Can anyone tell me whether the accommodation is in apartments (ground & first floor) or duplex style bungalows? Ideally I am looking for somewhere all on one level (no internal stairs) as my son has restricted mobility. We are a family of 4 (children aged 4 & 12), so I assume the lounge area has 2 sofa beds? Any info would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hi bex, its been a while since we stayed at the Turbo Club. If I remember its a combination of bungalows and apartments in blocks. We managed to get a great deal AI and went the end of September 2005. It was quiet as the kids were all back at school. We found the place to be clean, friendly, with good food and plenty of it. Entertainment was a bit poor of an evening but a good kids club. To be honest we would not have gone if we hadnt got a good deal, I think it should have been something like £380 and we got it for £250 pp AI. So even if the place was dreadfull (which it wasnt) we couldnt grumble at the price. The last review on here was 2007, so a 3 year gap is a long time, but I tend to take some reviews with a pinch of salt anyway. Hope this helps.

Regards ..... mike
