It’s been a week since we were at Gran Canaria, where we spent lazy days under the sun. No work, no worries, no winter. Jetting away in January is such luxury. Suddenly, winter got shorter. Skins got darker. Souls got lighter.
After seeing the other places around Gran Canaria, we were happy we made the right choice with our hotel. It’s nestled at the quiet resort of Playa del Cura, on the southwest coast of Gran Canaria, with a beach cove and a relaxed atmosphere. Our hotel, Sunprime Riviera Beach & Spa is a designer property that’s sitting right on the beach. Marketed as a child-free hotel, one’s guaranteed quiet and peace. There are a variety of sunbeds and fringed parasols around the hotel’s two pools. A few steps away and one can enjoy the revitalizing waters of the Atlantic. Our suite, located at the topmost floor and on the edge of the hotel, afforded a sweeping view of the ocean. Every afternoon as the sky turned golden to crimson, we got to admire the sun disappearing into the horizon.
Oh how I miss thee!
Welcome to Sunprime Riviera Beach & Spa!
Once you enter, you are greeted by these lovely lilies and a great smelling reception lobby!
Reaaally good mattresses, these ones. How thoughtful that our robes and towels were of differing shades of green, no mix-up!
Yes, that’s an open shower right there! LOL.
This view greeted us every morning as we ate our breakfast on the balcony.
These fringe pool parasols were fabulous! And that’s our balcony right on the edge, where we watched the beach life unfold from down under.
The rugged terrain of Gran Canaria serves as a picturesque backdrop to the hotel pool.
Even Edward got to soak in some rays.
Weeee! Let’s get soaking wet!
Life’s a beach.
The final sunset over Playa del Cura. Oh how we will miss thee!
