What to do and see in Playa del Ingles, Canary Islands: The Best Free Things to do

December 7, 2021 Stefan Strunk

This big resort—the largest on Gran Canaria—was developed in the 1960s specifically as a tourist area. And all types of tourists have found it. LGBT travelers, families with kids, au naturel sunbathers, honeymooners, groups of young singles… there’s a spot for everybody on the beach here (and a hotel or apartment for every budget).

Stopped off at Xanadu last night for a few drinks with friends. The host was lovely and the bar had a great atmosphere, everyone was very friendly. Drinks were very reasonably priced too and the whole bar was COVID compliant. Will definitely be returning and supporting this place again.

My previous review from Feb this year mentioned the history we have with Bar Meicker (40th Birthdays, lots of repeat visits, being drawn to the bar even on all inclusive holidays....). And here we are again. Another AI holiday and another 3 trips to Bar Meicker. Friendly, welcoming, good value. See you in January!

Reviewed By Paige1987

Scott was a very helpful and honest guy, he drew out a map for us with things we might like to do based on our interests. We saved around 50 euros by booking four excursions with him. He recommended a boat trip and jeep safari based off what we wanted to do. Both were amazing days, we saved an additional 30 euros by having the jet ski option off the back of the boat trip too. We saw him later on in the holiday and he had remembered us and stopped to ask if we had had a good time on the trips. This made us feel like valued customers.

Ricky's Cabaret Bar

The longest running Cabaret Show Bar in the Yumbo Centre. Located on the Ground Floor in the corner next to Burger King. Show time is at 10:30pm, but best to be in earlier to get the full Ricky's experience and be guaranteed getting the best seats in the house. Karaoke available every night with dances, games and giveaways throughout the night.
