Apartamentos Turbo Club

We have just returned from the The Turbo Club apartments, Masapalomas, Gran Canaria. Officially this is a 2 key residence, however, we felt it should be at least a 3/4 star. It was good value for money, there was a good variety of well cooked meals also being all inclusive. There was a breakfast, lunch, afternoon cakes and a tea/dinner on offer. The free drinks were probably not as strong as they were local brands but they were on offer in abundance. The apartments were clean, well decorated and apparently just been refurbished which we believed it to be. There was a kitchen, shower/ toilet and bedroom with the biggest bed you have seen. The maid service was good and efficient. All in all a damn good holiday at a damn good price.

Return visit very much enjoyed my holiday complex spotless staff first class food and drink enjoyable only complaint was entertainment has gone down hill since last year nothing for children I felt bad as I had brought my daughter and grandaughter with me .VERY UNFAIR to advertise mini disco then not have it out of our ten nights mini disco only on new years eve when i enquired at kids club lady asked my grandaughter to come in and play she can do that at home. outside games needed .this will not stop us from returning but do hope they sort entertaiment out you should not need to leave hotel at night for entertainent when you have paid AI.

The place itself it’s nice and extremely clean. The waiting on staff are nice and polite and do their best even if they don’t speak English. The night porter was sleeping at 4 am when I came back so had to knock the glass door few minutes in order to wake him up and he looked clearly “upset” that I woke him up...The “all inclusive deal” is really poor. The pool bar drinks are extremely poor quality and lack of any kind of taste. I do understand that they serve “local” drinks, but those drinks weren’t local at all and I can’t see any “local” drink anything like that. The meals were bland, poorly cooked and repetitive. I can’t say that the ingredients were poor quality, they just need a little bit of training in the kitchen. The breakfast bacon was literally swimming in grease and had to dry it up with serviettes every day. And no, I’m not a fussy eater...they do have a Spar supermarket on the premises, so I ended up buying food from there (I spent over 150 euros in a week in there for snacks and drinks - not alcoholic ones) Even if I asked for a “quiet” room, I was “lucky” enough to get one by the outside stage, where they had entertainment for kids, but hardly and kids around to enjoy. To be fair, I didn’t see any adults entertainment, but apparently they had it every night. I’m wondering where. They do offer a free service to Maspalomas beach, but it only goes 3 times a day and the last return is 16:30, so had to take a taxi. Luckily the taxis are cheap (under 5 euros) and the taxi drivers always polite and helpful. They do charge a lot for the room safe, 20 euros or so, which is ridiculous, as long as this is a room static amenity...same for WiFi, but thie didn’t reach up to my bungalow so I’ve just used my data. To summarise, it was a decent stay, but next time I’ll spend an extra pound and stay somewhere better and closer to the town and beach. Actually, I won’t spend anything extra as I’ll save on taxi (150 euros in a week) and the Spar Supermarket bill (another 150 euros)...
