A letter from the owners....

Welcome to the Jollies website. We hope that it provides you with everything you need to help you make an informed decision as to whether this resort and this apartment could provide you with the type of holiday you enjoy. The menu at the top of each page will enable you to move around the site easily.

We're not a company - simply a hard working couple who own a holiday property on the sea front in the main resort on the island of Gran Canaria.

We haven’t put our prices up at all since we first started renting out Jollies back in January 2007. The £330 rental for all weeks except the Christmas and New Year period remains unchanged, and will continue certainly up to the end of 2010!!

The current financial climate and the exchange rate has resulted in many holidaymakers having to reconsider their holiday costs and move away from package holidays where not only are they “tied in” to full board, but where prices are reportedly increasing considerably.

Jollies is also benefiting from clients who don’t want to eat in hotel dining rooms every day of their holiday. Our guests can choose from the many many restaurants within walking distance or even dine “at home” if they so wish. The Jollies kitchen is fully equipped and eating on the terrace over looking the pool is hardly a hardship but can reduce holiday costs considerably - even if you only choose to have breakfast and lunch at "home" and select a different restaurant each evening!

I hear that flight prices are to go up again this year (yet one more reason to keep your accommodation costs down!) but good prices are still around, you just have to search a bit harder for them. Last year Easyjet, the low cost airline, took over the flights that BA used to do into Gran Canaria. The package holiday companies such as Thomsons and Thomas Cook offer flights only (as opposed to just selling package holidays) and frequently have reasonable fares. I saved tons on one of our visits to Jollies this year by booking singles (with Thomas Cook) instead of a return. Even though I booked the return within minutes of booking the outward journey, just the fact that I booked them separately saved me a fortune!!

Don’t forget, you can secure your 2009 & 2010 holiday dates with just a £100 booking deposit! Payment can be made safely online by credit or debit card via PayPal , and you don’t even need to have a PayPal account of your own! We are already very busy for this year and already have quite a few 2010 bookings. To avoid disappointment please reserve your dates now.

We don't mind how many questions you ask. In our experience the more informed you are, the more you'll enjoy your holiday - so feel free to email Wayne. The contact information can be found at the bottom of each page of the site. Wayne deals with our enquiries, bookings and admin. Dale is our English manager in the resort.

We'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our guests for making Jollies such a successful holiday rental home. And for the kind words and compliments they have added to our on-line guestbook. Nothing I can say to "market" Jollies will ever be as helpful to the holiday decision making process as the comments of people who have actually stayed there.

Thank you for taking the time to read this - and now we hope you will enter the site and like what you see!

Kind regards,
Lynne & Roger
