Bungalows Marbella Golf

Well what can i say i have read the other reviews on here and for the person that had there i-pod stolen maybe you should have hired the safe thats already in the room thats wht they are there for and they were not that much to rent foe a week. We too had a slight ant problem but if you dont leave clothes or food on the floor they dont come in. I've been in a lot of cheap accomodation before but i was very happy with what we got for the money we paid. Not quite a bungalow as it has a ground floor and a 1st floor but you have a small garden in every apartment a walk in wardrobe minus the hangers and loads of room. All very basic but when your eating out most nights who cares. All you need is a bed and somewhere clean to wash. The pool gets very busy at weekends as the spanish come for mini breaks so get your towel at the pool by 9 on a lounger, sometimes the english have to be german ha ha. Martin & Patrick the gay couple with the pool bar were hillarious and will send you to some of the must see spots and both as trained chefs there food is lovely. If you like basic this is the place for you

Found it very noisy as was near the pool area. However was lucky -they agreed to move us to a quieter spot which happened to be a two bedder so was rewarded. Long walk to beach -hit a heatwave 35C but otherwise ok. Take a kettle. Liked the the garden. One there for sale but said to be 150K

We have stayed here before and asked for a specific location when booking and this was done (10/10). There was various equipment missing but this was soon provided. Cleaning was a bit sporadic. Also there were ants though very small ones and they soon went if you kept food secure. May main view is these could be fabulous bungalows but due to their very basic equipment and furnishing they are just ok. Very nice to have ones own garden.

Very nice budget apartments with your own little back garden a couple of sun beds, patio table & chairs.Nice swimmingpool with plenty of sunbeds. Maid changed towels and bedding 3 times during the week we were there, no problems with ants ,had a couple of cockroaches,but took ant / insect spray with us . Cooking facilties a bit sparse just 2 electric rings & fridge no kettle we again brought our own. No problems with hot water ,word of warning hot water gets scalding hot in seconds !! The only downside we felt it was a bit faraway from beach and centre of Playa del Ingles 4 euros by taxi to Maspalomas beach and 3 euros to Playa del Ingles beach, there was always a taxi outside Sunwing Hotel, i would say its a good 15 mins stroll to Yumbo centre where there are plenty of nice resturants & bars to sit and people watch!!!!. All in all these are good apartments ideal for couples and singles of all ages.

On arrival at 3.00am after a very long day travelling,(CWL-LHR-MAD-LPA) I was not at all impressed with what I saw of the Marbella Golf Bungalows. I felt as though I had come to some hovel in the back of beyond!!!!!!!. Later that day after a good nights sleep I realised that my friends and I had actually been booked into a 'GEM' of a place. The little bungalows were clean and well presented. Plenty of space. We stayed in a two bedroom bungalow which had two bunkbeds downstairs and a double bed upstairs. The Reception staff spoke excellent English, unlike our terrible Spanish. They were helpful and very welcoming. The Pool is more than adequate to swim in and the little poolside bar kept us refreshed !!!!. For the price that you pay this complex is exceptional value for money. I would definately stay there again. Sometimes you get lucky sometimes not . This place is a real find, but for how much longer? Dont tell too many British people about it !

Ignore the building work at the top of the street ( they are redeveloping a run down hotel) and allow yourself to be taken down to this lovely, simple and great value for money little oasis. If you are looking for cheal and cheerful, somewhere to put your head down bewteen going to the beach and bars this is for you. 10 minute walk to the Yumbo Centre and less than 10 in a cab to the beach ( which costs 2.5 euros). Neat little pool on site if you can't be assed with the sand and you can arrange most trips etc from the really friendly reception staff

Very nice compound, feels safe, My house had 2 beds in bedroom upstairs, next to bathroom, one double sofa-bed in living room-kitchen downstairs, opening onto patio with table and chairs and sunbed, then a small hibiscus-lined garden.

There is also a good sized balcony outside the bedroom, which will easily accommodate a mattress and is sunny all day. There is a handy supermarket a few minutes away, stocking a reasonable range of tinned and fresh foods, booze, breads, fruit and veg. 3 cups saucers and plates, a frying pan and saucepan were in the kitchen.

This was a really really good apartment.
Perfect for a low budget family trip or a week away with your loved one.
It's great value for your money, and the rooms are big, clean and nice.
The beds are a bit noisy tough.

The appartement was quite ok. It was space enough for all three of us, and the rooms was also allright. The reseptionist and bartenders was very nice, and we had a very good time at Marbella Golf. We would love to come back!

On arriving at Reception, we were greeted by a pleasant and friendly member of staff who spoke very good English. On reflection, he gave us probably the best located bungalow on the site.

It was quite novel to have an apartment type accommodation with an upstairs, all of the rooms were of a good size, and the beds were comfortable.

The bungalows have a balcony upstairs, and a small but adequately sized terrace/garden area downstairs. These were a bit of a sun-trap, and it was nice just to wander in and out of the bungalow for an ice-cold drink when needed.

Even the maids were pleasant, and provided change of towells wihout prompting. The kitchen area is adequate, we brought our own kettle which speeds up your early morning brew!

Bungalows Marbella Golf are located in a quiet area of
Playa del Ingles but was only about a 10 minute walk to the Yumbo Centre. We did not have any traffic noise at all, which to me is very important for a good night's sleep.

There is a handy Spar shop at the top of the road for all your esentials, which was always open when we needed it. The bus-stop is not too far away either.

All other staff from reception we met were also very friendly and helpful who again spoke very good English. I would like mention that these were the most helpfull staff that I have ever come across on any holiday I have ever taken. 'Thank you' very much, Paco for your help and advice.

We will definitely book again, maybe for sometime in 2007.

After reading reviews wished we hadn't booked but all was fine.  For what we paid apartment was fine, well used but clean. On a night was very quiet.   Out of 7nights we had the cleaner 5 times and towels were changed each time, had a few ants from garden but after quick spray didn't see them anymore.  The rough track full of dog dirt didn't exist it was all tarmaced.  The Sunwing Hotel was a bit iffy but it was being completly renovated so when that's done it will be fine. Is a bit way out from Playa Del Ingles but taxis are so cheap it dosent matter we used to walk there and get taxi back.

First impressions of the Marbella Golf Bungalows were mixed. Although the bungalow was very spacious with a lovely private garden with table chairs and sun bed’s, large balcony leading from the bedroom on the first floor, I found the kitchenette was very poorly equipped, not even a kettle was supplied for that all important cup of tea when you arrive. Most things however could be hired at a price.

I found that a lick of paint wouldn’t go a miss to brighten things up and also the bathroom was a bit mouldy in places.  The bed sheets and towels were blue which failed to hide a few stains etc…. the use of white towels and bed linen would have been better as it would show they were clean. These are things that can be easily rectified. The one really negative thing I found was the security on the patio door leading to the garden. Although you turned the key if you pulled hard enough it would open so I advise that you pay for a safe to keep your passports and valuables in. This will cost you 27 Euros which 15 Euros you get back at the end of your stay.

To finish on a high note, despite the above points we all had an enjoyable stay. It is within a 10 minute walk from the Yumbo and about a 20 minute walk to the beach. If you don’t fancy the walk it’s only a couple of Euros by taxi or there’s the local buses but we never used them so can’t say much about them. The pool isn’t the biggest but it does the job and the last thing you need is a 20 minute walk to the beach when you have a raging hangover. The people are all very polite and friendly and as long as you are aware of what to expect there is no reason why you shouldn’t have a pleasant stay.

Very nice area,- quiet, but close to everything. Nice rooms, and a nice pool-area. The pool bar looked ok, but we didn't use it. Only bad thing was the kitchen. It was ok for us, but if you are coming as a famiely it needs at update. Only 3 glases, a lack og knifes, forks and spoons. And we needed a coffee-maker!!! But it is really good value for the money!

Had a fabulous time at these apartments - yes few ants etc but hey - who cares - staff were great and hey Anne - the guy with the long hair at the bar (Raoul) is not arrogant usually just hungover - he's a party go-er - would go back there tomorrow if I could - so easy for all the amenities - Yumbo 5 mins...what more can a man ask for ????

It was very enjoyable.
It was a great fun, just wish the swimming pool was a little bigger and less ants in the bungalow.

We arrived end of Septemebr 2006 and were quite surprised with the apartments.  We had two, next door to each other and the gardens are kept lovely.  The apartment is spacious, small kitchen and breafast bar, with a sideboard with TV and coffee table, sofa bed and chair.  Leading out patio doors to a lovely patio area with loungers and table and chairs. The garden was massive and very private so we did some of our sunbathing there.  Upstairs was the bathroom and double bedroom with twin beds leading out to a balcony with a safe height railings.  The kitchenware was pretty sparse, and we knew to bring our own toaster and kettle, although not much to hire.  Hire of safe was 39 euros, 15euros deposit returned on departure. The whole complex is really quite attractive and has a mixture of private bungalows also.  It was surprising that the reception was so small with internet facilities and a couple of sweet and drink machines outside (which always took the money but didn't provide what you paid for)  The man at reception just gave up in the end and did nothing about it.  However, they are friendly and at my request gave me a mop and bucket to keep the ants at bay.  As soon as you eat, you will see them march in! Cleaners are not in every day so towels not changed daily which we felt was required, we had 5 children.  We had a cockroach and lizard in both apartments which frightened the life out of my 4 year old in the middle of the night when he turned on the light to visit the toilet.  The pool is a nice size and also has a small round shallow childrens pool where you knew they were safe at all times.  The bar/restaurant is very basic with no music.  As these apartments are on the far edge of Playa Del Ingles away from all the action, it would have been nice to have had some entertainment available to avoid having to go out every night.  However, the three main centres we frequented was the Yumbo, Kasbah and the Beachside all of which had lots of nice restaurants, bars and shops.  Try the Irish Tavern at the Kasbah centre, they are fabulous and their karaoke host is spectacular.  They treated our children as if they were their own.  We had a great holiday, our first time in Gran Canaria and we would use the apartments again if we didn't have the children as they found the days quite

Excellent resort / Accomodation. Ok its basic but comfortable and staff friendly.Was nice having your on private garden to sit and relax in. Local SPAR shop a short walk and the main YUMBO centre just 10 minutes walk max. Not sure where people are getting 40 minutes from unless they went via Maspalomas!!.For me this was like having your own private villa at a fraction of the cost. Would def recommend Marbella Golf, and certainly be using them again when I revisit GC. NB guess I was lucky had no problems with ants.

My Partner and I recently stayed at the Marbella Golf Apartments and would have no hesitation in using these apartments again. The reception staff were very friendly and helpfull, and spoke very good English. My only observation that I presume could be a problem for some people is at the weekend the complex is visited by local spanish people and there families and the pool area does become very busy and noisey, we had a bungalow very near the pool area and could imigine some visitors being put off by the noise. All in all an excellent complex with a SPAR supermarket just around the corner that sell just about everything you would need, and taxi's waiting on tap to take you anywere you want. MY TIP: Don't bother walking anywere or talking public transport as the taxi's are so cheap (usually 3-4 Euro's).

If you are looking for cheap acom in Palya del Inglis then you won't beat the Marbella Golf Aprtments.

If you're looking for a buget break, close enough to all the amenities Playa Del Inglis can offer then Marbella Golf is the place to stay. My wife and I booked a last minute break in March. As we'd hired a car we intended to us our accommodation as a place to sleep only. We were delighted to find our bungalow to be in an ideal location with easy access to the motorway and only a short walk to the local bars and resturants. Being early season the weather was hot but not too hot for a longer (35 min) walk into either of the main centres. The layout of the bungalow was great, lots of space and a private garden to lie in. Only downside was pay TV. Didn't have a lot of contact with staff, only to check in and out and an odd drink at the poolside bar, barman was always on the phone which he continued to use while serving, but the barmaid in my local does the same!!
We'll be back again soon.

The bungalows are clean and tidy with a private garden and private balcony, the staff are mostly friendly and helpful (except the guy with long hair at pool bar- found him very arrogant) if you require a taxi or anything you dont have to walk up to the top of the hill you only have to ask at reception and they'll happily arrange one for you. The bungalows are in a good location close enough to shops and pubs but far away from the noise of it all. enjoy your stay
