Hi, if anyone can help i'd be grateful. We're looking at Maspalomas, Gran Canaria. We want swimming/sun/relaxation/trip to museum ect - we liked Rhodes 2yrs ago but it's a bit cold there now. The hotel looks like its got a very nice pool but we can be persuaded to a different one/resort/destination if you know better
. Thank you!
