Most of the time when we travel it is by planes, trains, boats, or busses. Oh sure, there is an occasional taxi cab or Uber, but it is not very often that we have a car, either rental or our own. The reason I brought this up is because, due to this circumstance, we hardly ever have to think about parking.
But lately the situation has come up more often, because we seem to be renting cars in far away places quite a bit these days. While parking is very seldom a problem at hotels in the United States, finding parking at hotels in many other parts of the world can be a challenge sometimes. That’s one of the reasons that we were so happy to find a Hotel with free parking in Gran Canaria.
Marina Bayview Hotel not only has easy, free parking, they have just about anything anybody could want in a vacation accommodation. There are a few basic amenities that we always look for in any place we stay, and Marina Bayview has them all.
From the don’t sweat the small stuff like a coffee maker in your room, or an iron and ironing board, to the exceptional items that make a vacation truly memorable, like private balconies with stunning sea views, and an amazing infinity pool that appears to flow right into the Atlantic Ocean.
The rooms are much more than a typical hotel, these are fully furnished apartments specifically designed with every comfort in mind. The result is a feeling more like we found a home in Gran Canaria than a like staying in a hotel room.
At Marina Bayview, we found a distinctive place that is a not only unique, it’s a lot of fun. We usually try to find a hotel that is more than just a place to stay, and the best have enough to do that they can be an attraction as well as a hotel.
Marina Bayview definitely fits that description. In fact, there is so much to do that they are now the hotel with day pass in Gran Canaria. That means that even guests who are not staying at the hotel can still partake in all of the attractions.
With the pass, anyone can enjoy a day of sun and fun at the Marina Bayview pool, or perhaps lounging luxuriously in one of the Jacuzzis. Of course The La Ballena Pool Bar is right there to quench your thirst, or even feed your hunger, because the day pass also includes your choice of either breakfast or lunch by the pool.
We also appreciate the power of a cocktail to help with relaxing by, or even in, the infinity pool. So let’s see, swim, lunch, Jacuzzi and a cocktail. What’s missing? How about a sauna? Seriously, who wouldn’t love a sauna that includes panoramic vistas of the sea and the island? Sounds like a recipe for total relaxation.
But all relaxation and no play isn’t our idea of the perfect vacation. Which brings us back to another reason to make use of the free parking, so we can leave the car behind and rent bikes or take a hike with the car safely tucked away at the hotel.
At the Marina Bayview Hotel, finding free parking can be as easy in the Canary Islands as it is playing a game of Monopoly.
C’mon Free Parking!
