We actually have not been at the hotel yet but the customer service is being so friendly and so attentive to our questions/requests that we think it's already worth a review.
That only makes us happier and even more excited to go there.
Looking forward to an amazing vacation!

Customer service

I spent a week in this place. Initially I was shocked by the very rude reception (my guess is she was the owner and she was not local, perhaps German). The wifi is a lie, because it was absent almost all the time. Another lie, that you will find in the ads also, is the distance to the beach (they say 101 m to the beach; see how accurate they are) without mentioning that you have to go down about 100  stairs. The building was renovated and clean and it had a good view of the sea. The furniture, towels, and linens were well-worn. They change the bed linens once a week!!!

Terrible welcoming, no internet

We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment and it was really nice. Rooms were very beautiful and clean and spacy.  Two bathrooms which is good for 5 people family:) Kitchen had everything you need. Nice pool and the garden was super-lot of very beautiful flowers. Very good location near the beach and everything. I would definitely stay again if visiting gran canaria!

Excellent choice

The San Nicolas apartments are an excellent choice.  We stayed here for 9 nights in December 2013.  The apartment complex is comprised of 14 apartments, 4 on the ground floor which have terraces facing the swimming pool / sunbathing area and then 5 on each of the first and second floor all with private balconies overlooking the pool area and with sea views.  We were allocated room No. 24 located in the middle of the first floor.  The apartment was clean, well appointed and very roomy.  The kitchen was well equipped, with full size fridge / freezer, 3 ring electric hob, microwave oven, plus kettle, toaster and coffee maker.  There was ample storage space in the bedroom and in the bathroom.  The patio doors in the roomy living room / kitchen area opened out onto a good sized balcony with table and chairs and a sunbed, with views of the pool area and extensive sea views and along the coast to the Maspalomas dunes.   As well as the pool area which is well maintained and pleasantly secluded by the lush gardens, the apartments benefit from a sunny roof top terrace, where you can also sunbathe.   Our room was cleaned every day, and fresh towels provided regularly.  
All the bedrooms are adjacent to the road, from which some noise from traffic and occasional disturbance from late night party goers making their way home may disturb light sleepers.  We always take earplugs with us on holiday, and found these helped.
The location of the apartments is very good, having  direct access onto the seaside ‘Paseo’ or promenade, a very popular walkway leading to the nearby shopping areas, bars and restaurants down by the beach or to the Tropical Commercial Centre, a pleasant 15 minutes stroll along in the other direction.  
There’s a handy Spar supermarket just around the corner, about 150 metres away, which has a decent choice of the basic items for self catering.  For a much wider choice, with a decent deli / butchers counter and good fruit & veg selection, at slightly cheaper prices we found the Super Dino supermarket on the Avenida de Estados Unidas very good, although you’ll need a car or hire a taxi as its too far to walk with lots of shopping.
If you have a hire car , note that there’s very limited free parking in the area, there’s plenty of on street parking available, but you have to pay at the meter (during the day its 2.40 Euro for 4 hours  – night time - 21.00 to 10.00 is free) and the traffic wardens are very active !  There is a small parking area near the Spar, which is free, but its often full, however we did manage to get a space there on a few occasions.
We dined out most nights, and our top recommendations are ‘The Greek Village’ on Avenida Sargentos Provisionales 30 and ‘La Tosca’ on Avenida de Estados Unidas, near the Yumbo centre.
Overall we had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay at the San Nicolas Apts.

Lovely stay - great location

An excellent smaller set of spacious apartments in beautifully kept grounds with wonderful views out to sea.
Stayed one week and during that time we found that the standard of cleaning was excellent. Unlike another reviewer, we had our apartment floors swept or washed daily and the linen changed regularly. In fact we felt the standard of cleanliness was excellent.
As to location, we felt it was also an excellent location. We did our research before we went and knew that your located up a flight of stairs from the beach and that was not a problem for us. The pool was cleaned every morning and we observed it being checked for the required chemical levels during that week. We also utilized the roof terrace, which came in useful in late afternoon when the sun went off the pool area, as the roof was still in full sun for some time. There are some local shops within a 5 minute walk that provide everything you need and as we wanted to cater for ourselves (on a tight budget) it was ideal. Within a further few minutes walk you can find shopping centers or even walk to the famous Yumbo center.
 Our room (24) did have the bedroom window facing the road and we were disturbed during the night by the occasional reveler or noisy vehicle, however the positives more than made up for this minor negative. To sum up, wonderful accommodation in a great location for a relaxing break in the sun.

Beautiful views

This accomodation is run by a very friendly German lady and offers 14 wonderful appartments. It is situated inside a wonderful green oasis, close to the promenade and points of interest (shops, clubs, restaurants) and yet it is very quiet and relaxing in the night.

At the reception you can find a map of the island as well as books in several languages, left by previous guests. The personell is very kind and friendly and are ready to give you tips on where to go. Most of the people in Gran Canaria speak German and/or English so don't be afraid to ask! Depending on the type of holiday you want, I suggest renting a car and driving around because the island is beautiful. 

The building is small but the appartments are very spacious and clean, the ones facing the sea and pool also have big balconies - with a sunbed and a big table and chairs to have breakfast while watching the sunrise.

Guests also have access to a rooftop terrace equipped with sunbeds and a small shower.
The pool is cleaned every morning. Since there are only a few appartments the pool was not used by many guests (who preffered the sea pehaps). We stayed for a week and preferred the pool and there were rarely more than 5 people there at the same time (including us!).

The best part of the appartment is its garden. The whole building and pool are surrounded by several palm trees and green plants. What I liked most were the big, colourful bushes of bougainvillea. Thanks to the plants there is enough shade on the balconies as well so it was never too hot inside and air conditioning was not necessary - in mid-July! Moreover, you can also go access the promenade through the garden so you don't have to go around the block.

It was a truly wonderful accomodation and we would definitely stay there again.
