Do you expect things to change for better or worse based on what is happening with case numbers and vaccinations? |

We had ours done last Thursday there, you could turn up to the rest centre (up the ramp and first set of doors) between 7am and 12 noon, no appointment necessary.
The afternoon appointments you had to walk further along the corridor to Accident/Emergency. |

Sorry, probably a stupid question, but how soon before you return to the UK do you need to take the PCR test ? How long does it take to get the results and what evidence are you provided with to show your test results? |

We queued for about 20 minutes, 10 minutes to pay and have antigen test (mouth/nose swab) taken and 30 minutes for results. |

They were last week on a first come first served basis, but bookings had to be made for the afternoon sessions at the A&E department. |

Most things seem open. It’s quieter than usual but there is still abuzz about the place in certain areas and times, a lot of people are wearing masks outside, even on the beach. About fifty fifty I suppose. |

We're really stuck on if we should still chance flying out in three weeks or postpone our holiday while we still can. We're both vaccinated but don't want to risk a 4 grand quarantine Hotel stay on return if the islands get moved to the UK red list.
The next update on the list is due on the day after we arrive. With the potential 8pm curfew and other restrictions, we're wondering if it's worth the risk of the red list or of testing positive before we leave and having to isolate there.
Obviously this is the chance you take, booking a holiday in a pandemic...  |

"Thanks. I think we're just getting cold feet about the potential extra cost we couldn't afford. "
Fingers crossed it wouldn't get moved to the red list and if they did, there would be a few days notice, so you could get home. I understand your concerns though. |

I tried to book a appointment online however it would not recognise a UK mobile number as part of registration process thus unable to register.
I spoke to reception and they gave me an email address to book the appointment at Maspalomas hospital:
Covidmaspalomas@hospitalessanroque.com
As previously stated if you mention that you are a hotel guest then a antigen test is €15 and appointments are 12-1900hrs.  |

Booked and confirmed online this morning for testing at San Roque. Used a UK number but added the 0044 and worked well. Our tests are booked 2 minutes apart.
Really straightforward, just have your passport to hand for the booking and remember to take it with you to the appointment. X |

I tried 0044 with and without the 0 in the mobile number to no avail. Maybe my phone. I'll try again. |

Just had my Antigen test at the hospital in Maspalomas. I queued for nearly 2 hrs and I had a appointment, so take water and sun cream. There were two queues (down the ramp and along the side of the hospital) left queue for people without appointment, right side queue for people who have booked appointments. The left queue seemed to move faster than mine which I found perplexing.
So it looks like you don't actually need a appointment.
If it's like this now, God only knows what it wipping be like when passenger numbers increase |

We just went to the pharmacy near the Occidental Margaritas hotel. Walked in had the test and went back later that day to get the results . Was 25€ but some times it’s 30€ You can pop in and make an appointment or they can do it straight away if they are not busy |
