Puerto Mogan, Gran Canaria - Easter 2018.
We have visited Puerto Mogan on a few previous occasions from the nearby resort of Puerto Rico and knew we would like to have a holiday here. In the resort you will find a nice horseshoe shaped beach, palm-lined avenues, top quality restaurants and a harbour full of yachts. The centre of the resort is pretty much traffic free and Italian style footbridges criss-cross the canal. It’s not surprising the resort is known as ‘Little Venice’. Each Friday the resort also boasts a very popular street market.
We stayed at the Cordial Mogan Valle apartments on a self-catered basis in an apartment which sleeps up to four. The apartment had a main bedroom and a separate lounge/kitchen area. We had a large balcony with a table, chairs and sun loungers and had fantastic views over the resort area and out to sea.
The apartments had three swimming pools, two Jacuzzis, kids pool and splash park, playground, mini club (age 4-12) and entertainment during the day and night. There is also a spa which includes a Finnish sauna and steam bath. Free Wi-Fi is also available throughout the complex.
In addition to self-catering the apartments also offer dining options including bed and breakfast, half board and full board. There are so many nice restaurants to eat out in the evening along the beach front and around the marina. A favourite of ours was Blue Marlin – great Sangria and seafood!
There is a good bus service from Puerto Mogan so you can visit other towns such as the capital Las Palmas, Puerto Rico, Maspalomas, Meloneras and Playa del Ingles. We had a trip out to Meloneras which has a great seafront promenade with many upmarket shops and restaurants.
I would highly recommend Puerto Mogan to both families and couples looking for a holiday in a very pretty, relaxed holiday resort. It’s certainly my preferred place to stay in Gran Canaria!
