Bungalows Vistaflor in Maspalomas

Have just returned from 8 nights half board at the Vista Flor. On a positive note the staff are all super helpful and friendly and the grounds are very well kept. The bungalows are basic and small but comfortable enough for 2 people to share. They lack simple things like a socket beside the bed which I personally found quite frustrating.
The resort falls flat when it comes to food. The breakfast selection for hot food is shocking, overcooked scrambled eggs, hot dog type sausage and some form of cooked ham pretending to be bacon. All pretty much inedible. We tried breakfast twice and both days were equally terrible. The dinner was not any better. Macaroni cheese that has never seen any real cheese in its life was about as brave as I could stomach from the limited selection of food.
Needless to say we only ate in the restaurant 3 times before giving up and just going out for all of our meals.
One other thing to mention is the amount of cats that are roaming about, day one at the pool we had to move to the other side of the pool as all we could smell was cat pee. I’m not sure if they had forgotten to clean that area of the pool that day as it seemed to be the only day we had this problem but it’s not really what you want to experience when you’re chilling by the pool.
This is not a bad resort to stay in if you’re planning on eating out but if you’re going half board/all inclusive be prepared to come home a couple of kilos lighter than when you arrived.
I had actually booked this place for 14 nights from the 31st December again, but that was before staying here. I have now cancelled and rebooked elsewhere.

The bungalows are smaller than expected, and the “double bed” is actually two singles pushed together. The upper balcony is also quite small you cannot sit out there. The showers are difficult to get to a steady temperature, constantly going from very hot to cold. The appearance of the apartments are tired and needs refreshing.

The pool area itself is brilliant, very clean and a good size but despite signs saying that sunbeds cannot be reserved, people were putting towels out around 7:00 a.m., so be prepared for that. Also sunbeds are very close together. The beer selection on the all-inclusive is very good, but the cocktails are not great. Breakfast is quite limited, and the afternoon snacks are mostly cold. The choice of food in the evening is also fairly limited. This is something that can be improved on.

The free bus service to the beach is fantastic, but make sure you know where to get the return bus back to the complex, as it can be confusing the first time.

On a positive note, the entertainment team is excellent and all the staff are extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They really make the stay enjoyable.

Location is out of the way, a slight uphill walk to the jumbo centre (about 15 mins) and a taxi to the lighthouse maspalomas where you can find some lovely bars and restaurants costs around 9 euros each way.

Noisy morning with maitanance staff, after a week someone asked me to remove my hammock from the tree and they could not motivate it. Breakfast should be served until at least 10.30/11. Apart of this very good stay and friendly staff
