The 'Aloe' apartments are delightfully situated in mature gardens featuring lofty palms, giant conifers and flame red hibiscus bushes. There are two attractive pools; one larger than average for adults and the other small and comfortably safe for young children. The grounds enjoy daylong sunshine and are to the rear of the building so that the peace is disturbed by birdsong rather than traffic.

There are views of the ocean from the fronts of most of the apartments and the balconies at the rear look towards the mountains. At the end of the street, just one block away, an observation platform looks out across the magnificent sweep of the famous Maspalomas sand dunes, a breathtaking view that one never forgets.

There is a tennis court, a sun deck and of course plenty of loungers around the pool. And lunch and snacks are available in Aloe's own ' in house' snack bars and supermarkets.
