RESTRICTIONS:- We don't let Jollies to groups of teenagers (i.e. under 21's) or any teenagers holidaying without parents, under any circumstances. The maximum occupancy is 4 persons for couples and families and 2 persons for singles. We will not permit 5 (or more) persons under any circumstances. I reserve the right to refuse to let the property to any individual, group or family that I choose and I need not offer any explanation or reason.(Unlikely to happen but I wanted you to know I have rights too!!). Smokers are welcome to smoke on the terrace but not inside the apartment (Sorry - I'm a smoker too but it's in the interests of ALL our guests - hardly a hardship given that the terrace is such a lovely place to sit!)
Back to top

WHO IS THE APARTMENT SUITABLE FOR?:- All nationalities, ages, couples, same sex groups and families. However, we don't have a cot for babies. Please be aware of the sleeping arrangments - we have one King size and two singles. The Kingsize is in the bedroom, the singles are in the bedsit style lounge. The apartment is ideally suited to a couple enabling the lounge to be used as a lounge! I'm afraid we don't let Jollies to groups of teenagers(i.e. under 21's) holidaying without family . Our house manager is English. We accept payment in sterling and in Euro's.

DISABLED:- Jollies is also suitable for the less agile and disabled. From the pavement to the front door is one level. There is a small doorstep. Doorwidths are standard size. We have a large walk in shower (wetroom). This is the only room where a wheelchair will not go through the door. The pool has one set of easy access steps, i.e. gentle steps sloping into the pool at the shallow end, with two hand rails. From the terrace to the pool area there are two steps - wheelchair width, just!. Alternatively, it takes less than a minute to go via the front door, around the corner of the apartment and out to the pool. We have a self propelling/attendant folding wheelchair available to rent on a weekly basis (must be booked before the date of travel) at a cost of £35 per week. It folds to go in cars and cabs.

POPULARITY:- Being a complex of just 8 apartments, situated in such a sought after location and offered at a very fair rental has resulted in the apartment being very popular - for this reason Jollies often gets booked well in advance. We are taking bookings with a £100 deposit payment right up until the end of 2010.

FLIGHTS ARE NOT INCLUDED:- Our prices are for property rental only.

SEARCHING FOR FLIGHTS?:- The airport on Gran Canaria is Las Palmas airport (LPA) and is about a 20/25 minute drive down the motorway. Gran Canaria is about a 4 hour flight from the UK. Flights are not included in the property rental. Flights to Las Palmas leave the UK most days but Monday's provide the most choice, followed by Saturdays. You'll find some of the best flight prices on the following websites:-

LATE RETURN FLIGHT?:- To enable us to ensure the apartment is ready for our next guests the apartment must be vacated no later than 11am on departure day. Whenever guests have late return flights we do try to be flexible but can rarely promise that we will be able to accommodate them beyond 11am (occasionally possible if we know our next guests flight arrival time is very late). When, on departure day you have to vacate the property in the morning, there is no problem in you using the pool and gardens until your flight time - just let me know this is what you want to do.

TRANSPORT:- This is a busy holiday resort with many parking restrictions. Car hire truly is not necessary - the apartment is within easy reach of everything in the resort. If you want to tour the island why not hire a car just for the day - a much better option. You'll find plenty of hire company's locally. There is a very good bus service with major stops just 200 yards from the apartment. You can get buses up to the capital, Las Palmas, in the North of the island and to all the out of resort attractions. Cabs are so cheap it's hardly worth considering any other form of transport and the taxi rank is next to the bus terminal - so again, just 200 yards from the apartment.

WHAT WE'VE GOT & WHAT WE HAVEN'T:- You'll have everything you need. The kitchen is equipped with a microwave, blender, toaster, kettle, fridge freezer, full oven & 4 ring ceramic hob. The utility room houses the washing machine (we don't provide the powder), iron, the ironing board, drying stand, washing line & pegs. We have a safe. We provide toilet rolls, toilet cleaner, bedlinen, bath, hand and tea towels & a dishcloth. We have a large selection of English paperbacks and operate a swap system, i.e. take one of ours and leave one of yours. We have a few board games, puzzles and toys. Our self propelling wheelchair can be hired for £35 per week. We have plenty of coat hangers - all will hold trousers. We do have spare light bulbs. We don't provide beach towels. We do provide sunbed matresses. The complex has plenty of sunbeds. Our terrace has a table & four chairs. We have a notice board and lots of leaflets for the attractions. We no longer have the baby paddling pool shown in some of the photo's on this website, it has been filled in and is now an extra sunbathing area.
