Just returned from these apartments this morning at 7 and it was the worst accomodation ive EVER stayed in my life!!
Was told by the Airtours reps as this was a last minute deal that it was 3 star apartments, got there and it was 1 key!
Hotel staff were extremly unhelpful when we arrived. Like a review above we didnt realise that the apartment had two doors so called the security guard to let us in, when we got to the door there was a dead RAT that had obv been there some time as ants we eating away at it! This was disgusting as our apt was right beside the hotel rest!!
Even at seeing the rat the security guard didnt move us bt pushed us in and closed the door!
Woke up the next morning to fing out that out bathroom window didnt lock, so everyone could see through it, was terrified to see kitchen men staring in the bathroom when me and my friend were taking showers!!
The doors were very insecure and you could easily push them over to gain entry!
One night after coming in, me and my friend discovered our apt COVERED in cockroaches-crawling under the matress and everything!went to the security guard and got walked around the complex at 6 in the morning trying to find an apt,moved all out luggage to find even more,however this was a better apt until the only plug socket came out of the wall and the sink and shower began to stink of drains etc!
As for security it was awful, the guards often followed us to our apts and tried to grab our arms..
The only thing about this apartment was the closeness to the Irish centre where we LIVED cos we didnt wana go back to the hellhole!
This review is not lies, it was the hol from hell and if your going to these apartments i strongly recommend you change or it will b a pure waste of money!!

We stayed at the santa fe bungalows for 1 week and that was enough for me!
As far as im concerned the bungalow was dirty, smelly, damp and NOT secure AT ALL. Even though the maids came 3 times! One time they forgot to shut our front door and left it wide open. We were so lucky not to have things stolen. Someone we met had to spend her whole holiday in court rooms coz she caught someone burgling her room. Luckiy she punched him and knocked him out which ment he didnt steal her stuff!!!!
We heard so many storys of peoples bungalows gettin broken into its untrue.
There were little or no facilitys to use and the staff there were not interested in any of our quieres at all. They were quite happy to take your money but then didnt deliver the bloody goods! (as our friends found out when they tried to hire a fan)
Be warned you get ripped off for hiring fans, toasters, kettles, tv's and other stufff.
We wernt even allowed in the swimming pool as it was having work done on it. We had not been told of this.

These bungalows are worth much more than two stars.
We have just returned home from them (June 2002) after 2 weeks.
We found them excellent we had 2 bungalows just outside the pool they were both very clean had maid service every other day with fresh bedding towels etc.
age ranges of our party were 6, 14, 34, 35, 57, 62.
We found this accomadation suitable for all ages. 2 large swimming pools with sunbeds poolside cafe
reception very helpful and friendly.
location was excellent within 5 mins walk of anywhere you wanted but not noisy at all. we have booked next years holiday already due to committments but we are returning to these bungalows in june 2004.
we met alot of famalies at the resort and they all thought the same as us.
Some of the reports above I cannot understand the comments
THE PLACE IS FAB.

Got this place as a real cheapie, but I have to say it is nicer than the 2 stars that Airtours give it.
Although the maid was in the place virtually non stop, it did not stop the cockroaches - managed to splat 5 in a week. The front door had a folded up towel against it which I assume was there to stop the blighters getting in (or maybe out!)
An excellent location, just a few minutes walk from some really nice restaurants and shops.
I would strongly advise anyone checking in though to get the safety deposit box key straight away. I had my wallet stolen from the room while we were sitting on the terrace. No money in it but I did have to go to all the trouble of phoning home to get my cards stopped. My own fault for being to easy going, don't make the same mistake!
Overall, for the money we paid, it was an excellent place to stay. Quiet if you wanted peace, but close enough to the hot spots if you wanted to party the night away.

The hotel was fine but disappointed at how basic everything was, definatley home to the roaches aaahhh.
We were self catering so it didn't matter about the few kitchen utensils but you can order things like toasters when you get there. Staff were ok but didn't really see them around as we were out all the time catching the sun.
I would come here if I just wanted somewhere to sleep and get drunk. The kitchens to the restaurant are on the resort so you can see what there doing to the food.
Take my advice dont eat there.

Spent a week here in July 2002. Out of the 3 rooms that the group had (9 travelled), the one I was in (room 93) appeared to only be half finished. There were lights with dodgy wall fittings, and the breakfast bar was only about 2 feet long! Also there was no bath, just a crappy shower with no curtain.
We saw a few 'roaches during the stay, but they didn't bother us too much and the maid service was good - they even did our washing up! One thing to note is that there is no toaster (you can hire one) for your morning Bimbo.
The complex has 2 good size pools, with plenty of sun loungers, although be careful as one of the pools has an odd slope meaning it's easy to diving into the shallow bit - like I did - ouch!
The staff seemed friendly enough, one bloke even had a comedy 'tache and Keegan perm. Quality.
Location couldn't have been better - 5 minutes to the Kasbah, 10 to the Irish pubs. Just out of town enough to be reasonably quiet, although there was late noise when we were there due to peeps coming in pished in the wee hours.
In conclusion, this was a nice place to stay and the fact is wasn't a high-rise hotel was good too. It is a bit basic, but if you're just on a "beer and leer" holiday it is fine.

I went in a large party of 30 to gran canaria and stayed at the santa fe bungalows for two weeks.
The first night we got there, the place was clean, but there were cockroaches everywhere [cockroaches are apparently the cleanest insects around]. We were also dissapointed at how basic the cooking arrangements, only two hobs to use for self catering cooking, and the utilities were also basic.
Appart from that, it seemed like a perfectly nice place.
That is until we got burgled.
We had gone out clubbing for the night, and as always, we ensure that we lock every window and door.
When we got back, we realised that the front door had been attempted to be broken into, with no success. However when we got in we found that the back/patio doors had been broken and broken into, despite taking all possible security measures.
In total over

Stayed there in October 2001 to celebrate my wedding anniversary - don't really understand some of the other comments as at no time did I feel like there were problems with security. The place was spotless, the staff were very helpful and it was an ideal location.
True, there were stacks of roaches (we had a pet one called Ronnie) but where can you go in the Canaries where there aren't loads?
Only drawback was all the mincers. The reps recommended the 'Jumbo' centre to see the cabarets, etc. Steer clear unless you want to listen to dubious experiences when you're sitting having a drink or something to eat. I nearly got into a couple of scraps and I was there with the wife!

I can't believe all the negative comments about these bungalows.
My boyfriend and i went last year and it was fantastic. I was so please when we pulled up outside as we didn't know where we would be staying.
The maids were fantastic they came in nearly everyday - they even did our washing up and tidied up. There were no problems with security - although the patio doors were a bit rubbish.
We did have a number of @#%$-roaches which were minging but never mind. I was diapointed with the beach at playa-dingles it was a bit smelly.
There was aslo a fantastic all you can eat retaurant on the front by the escalators to get to the beach (by the kasbah centre) it was yummy.
Soux City was also a good night out, but the escapes bar crawls were dire, and the escapdes reps were the most foul mouthed bunch of individual i have ever met.
We were delayed coming back and airtours were worse than useless - so don't avoid these bungalows just avoid airtours!
