Bandama Golf Hotel

I stayed in this hotel for 5 nights in the beginning of July. I booked it because I was looking for a hotel a bit outside of the busy tourist places where I could relax. The rooms are nice and it's well worth to book a room with a balcony because the views from the room are great. When I arrived I had a room at the ground floor which was nice, but the hotel owner offered me another room on the first floor after two nights without extra charge and the views were even better. The personnel was wonderfull, always helpful, friendly and just genuinly nice people. The swimming pool was clean and not busy (although it was more busy on the Sunday when I arrived). The temperature of the water was fine. Also the room was clean and spacious. It is recommended to rent a car because the area is quite remote although a saw a busstop at walking distance. With a car you are at the airport in just over 20 minutes and also Las Palmas is a 20 minutes drive. There are two really good small restaurants very close, only about 600 meters walk which will take you about 10 minutes. You can check on google when they are open. Also walking distance but a bit further away (20 minutes walk) is a bodega where I had the best wine I had during my holiday and also a huge steak for a reasonable price. Breakfast was not a buffet (I guess because of covid-19), but you could fill in each day what you want for breakfast and it would be made fresh for you each morning. I did not take any long walks although there are some walking paths into the caldera, it was just too hot when I was there to go for a long walk... If I ever go back to Gran Canaria I will for sure book this hotel again!
