Thanks for the info,have looked up reviews for terrazamar apts and they seem really nice. Is the pool heated ? Are the water parks open ? do a lot of places close for the holidays ?

We went to Gran Canaria for Xmas 2005 and had a great time. We stayed at the IFA Continental Hotel which is just outside PDI. The hotel was great, rooms a reasonable size and exceptionally clean. Well worth more than the 3*+ rating. The entertainment the hotel laid on for Christmas was excellent. Every child under the age of 14 received presents from one of the entertainment team who dressed as Santa Claus, there were festivities around the pool all day, the Christmas meal was fantastic and I would definitely return here. The staff couldn't do enough for the guests and the festivities started Christmas Eve morning to make the most of the Christmas period.

The hotel is located just outside the main centre of PDI which is about 10-15 minute walk away but there are shops and bars close by.

Am going back to Gran Canaria Christmas 2006 as we had such a good time.

I'm booked up for pdi for xmas and new year 2006, can't wait. We're renting a private apartment. I've been to Gran Canaria in all months expect the xmas holidays, so not sure what to expect.

although this shouldn't apply this christmas.... we had the wprst weather in history in xmas 2004.... it shouldn't be like that for you though!!!
