We are going first week in April.
Staying in taurito near mogan.
At the minute the temps are around 22 /23 degrees
Do you think first week April will be warm enough for a bikini ?

usually yes, although depends what you consider warm enough. I’ve been in a swimsuit in the Canary Islands in 24C lots of times and been warm enough.

We've literally just got back from there (went for half term)

I was in a bikini. It's weird the weather apps were all saying it was like 15 degrees and cloudy but it wasn't! It was bright sunshine, around 20+ degrees and really nice. It got a bit cooler in the evening so you needed a cardigan or light hoodie, but not cold at all.

By the pool it was glorious. So nice and warm but not uncomfortably hot.

I've been to Taurito a few times. WE have been in October and was definitely warm enough for a bikini then.

My son was obsessed with that hotel and it's lifts lol. He was watching them go up and down all the time.

It looked like a nice hotel. We were staying next door at the Valle.

@Twizbe ha ha ha
Is there much to do in the area?
I know it's a small resort
We normally going to Maspalomas (well 4 years ago but in summer )

it can be a bit windy. Bikini should be fine, but I’d pack a cover up too just in case

Different but still the canaries- I'm currently laying on a sunbed in Tenerife at 22 degrees in a bikini and it is BAKING! Feels so much hotter than 22.

So I can imagine Gran Canaria in April will be better weather- definitely bikini weather for sure!

Lapland123 · 27/02/2023 13:10

Definitely! Was there for half term- lovely and warm. Cardigan I evenings

Twizbe · 27/02/2023 13:13

Our kids are 6 and 4 so we spent most of the time by the pool.

Our hotel included entrance to the water park. We spent 2 mornings there. The water is cold lol.

There are regular buses to puerto mogan and Puerto Rico if you want a day out.

The little beach was nice. Big enough to not be crowded and small enough to let the kids play.
