"A quick post intended to share our views on the swinging clubs/bars we attended in November 15. Naturally this is subjective and any given day can be different. But with an abundance of venues, there is definitely something there for everyone. ****************************************************** Clubs ****************************************************** 2x2 - CC La Sandia Visited Monday night as it was couples only. Registered online for a VIP pass where you get BOGOF drinks for their 10-11 happy hour. No charge, nicely done out open bar area with friendly staff. The Pink lookalike makes a mean strawberry mojito! Second section play area including a car to play in. Very busy with sexy couples and a nice add-on is that they have an outside smoking area, very unique as most clubs smoke inside. ****************************************************** Secret - CC Cita From the leaning tower side, the first club on the right when heading to the basement. Minimum €10 spend for couples and 10-11 happy hour, buy one get one free. Over 900m2 of club, probably the biggest club and very nicely kitted out. Staff are friendly and OCD, which is great in a club as you know it is going to be clean and hygienic. The team go out their way to welcome you and we have nothing but positive words to share about this club. Hottub available, you pay €2 for a locker with two towels. As a mixed venue, There is a couples only area. Smoking is inside, but as a large club it isn't as noticeable as smaller venues. Highly recommend a visit here and possibly our favourite club. Visited Thursday (twice) Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Very busy all nights, slightly quieter on Sunday than the previous three. ****************************************************** Fun4All - CC Cita Next door to Secret. Again a mixed venue and minimum €10 couple spend. Smaller environment but very friendly. Plenty of couples, appeared more sociable than some places like 2x2 where play is a higher focus, in our experience of one visit in each place. A bit smoky for us as the venue is smaller and lots of smokers. Definitely worth a visit. ****************************************************** Venus - CC Cita Visited on Saturday for couples night. States that they open at 21:30, but appeared to be open at 22:00 like most clubs. Lovely decor, quite a few couples but similar to Fun4All, it seemed to be the older age groups that attended. Friendly staff though not as friendly as Secret & Full Swap. Gave us a club tour, but didn't explain the charges. It's €10 minimum spend, but if you use the hot tub and play areas, then minimum spend is €20, plus you pay €3 or €4 for a locker and towel (although this is included in the total spend). This left a bit of a bad taste in our mouth and think they could make charges far simply given there are many nationals that visit Gran Canaria. ****************************************************** Full Swap - CC Cita Diagonal and in the other corner to Secret and probably the first club you would get to from the Eifel Tower entrance. This club is new to the centre and one we think will be a hit. It's got fantastic decor, very clean and two young sexy girls that are attentive, affable and welcoming. Compared to Fun4All and Venus, I'd expect this place, whilst laid back, should attract the younger audience and the young at heart. Like all new clubs, it needs time to build up a reputation and it will get busier. You can imagine our delight when we were club hopping and saw three sexy young couples at different venues, all finally make their way into Full Swap. Definitely a great place to visit and I think I would love to see this club open at 8pm and be a meeting point, as well as a club to hang out until 6am! ****************************************************** Eternity - CC Nilo Where most clubs are situated in Cita and Sandia is only 400 metres away, the Nilo centre is in the North part of PDI. We went on Friday, as we heard it is a place to visit. Saturday apparently has more couples. €20 entrance, which includes two drinks. €1 for a locker that includes 2 towels, 2 flip flops & 2 condoms. There were some hot young couples here and a nice hot tub, but we didn't feel the staff as welcoming as other clubs. There was no tour and the club didn't feel as clean as others. What was disappointing was to see a door of a dark room open and two used condoms on the floor. I know this can happen at any club and you cannot blame the staff for this, but parts looked a bit run down and maybe this gets reflected in some clientele not caring about the club. It certainly didn't leave a good first impression. I think we would try this club again but probably on a Saturday. ****************************************************** Still need to try Afrodita in CC Cita and Tu y Yo CC San Agustin. ****************************************************** Pubs/Bars ****************************************************** Kiosk4 - Nudist Beach Maspalomas Situated on the south side. Walk through the archway of the riu hotel then through the dunes for 15 minutes and you will see a kiosk with a rainbow flag. This is the gay nudist beach and to the right of this is the "swinging" nudist beach and kiosk4. Simple and great for a drink in the open air and sun. Plenty of dunes around for people to have fun in, though we didn't experience. A meeting point for swingers during the day. ****************************************************** Comeback bar - CC Cita (top floor) A small bar and typically a meeting point for swingers before they venture off to the clubs or stay and mingle. ****************************************************** Poison - CC Cita (basement) For the nervous swingers, this would be a better option as it is a more discreet venue. Straight down the basement, past Secret and Fun4All and turn right. It is at the end with no other place in sight. It is small and cosy, looked friendly and welcoming. Everyone we have spoken with have been positive about this place. So whilst it wasn't our cup of tea and appealing to us, that's not to cross it off the list as people we the highest respect for, really enjoyed this venue. Our main concern was the size of the venue and that as non smokers (one with asthma) we were concerned that the smoke in the air would hang on us. ****************************************************** I hope the above provides some good information for people planning to visit Playa Del Ingles and Gran Canaria. There are many great places including the Yumbo Centre to eat, drink and party. This is a lot of gay clubs and cabarets such as Ricky's and Sparkles that you can enjoy the drag queen shows. If you are a straight man, then the cruising clubs are not for you and you may want to give them a miss. The China Town buffet is fantastic value for money and do a fantastic sangria. Really friendly staff. Divinity is a karaoke bar for a song and a laugh. The Kasbah Centre has a Brasilian club, if you fancy some salsa and dancing and close by is Little Brasil for a churroscaria (eat as much meat) experience. May I suggest that comments to this thread are (as much as possible) reviews for the swinging clubs in Gran Can so people can share their experiences and then open other threads for when they are visiting etcetera?

"Great posting and very useful info for all. We are just home (sun) from a week in GC and Secrets charged us 5 euro for one towel and two condoms. We were also with another couple who were charged 25 euro for two vodka and red bulls, which we felt was high. Small points and congrats on your input..xx" Thanks. Wow that does seem high, as we paid €2 for our locker for two towels (no condoms). There is a price list available at secret, so we would encourage people to ask for the menu, so they can point out the drink. If memory serves me correctly, a standard short (vodka, rum etc) is €7 and the mixer is another €2 (with Red Bull being €3). At least if there are any queries, you can back them up with the menu.
I would recommend having a chat with Olga or Mario if there is any future issues. We found them very welcoming and supportive.
Thanks for your input, definitely helps to give good advice and considerations to visitors.  | |||

I know I 'big' up 2x2, but condoms are plentiful and free, free shots, most nights, free buffet some Saturdays, happy hour if you join the website and go in their first hour of opening and friendly and efficient team! | |||

"This is why people move on to other clubs, if they feel they have paid over the odds, rather than querying it. Mistakes can be made, we are all human, but I would move on to somewhere else rather then having issues with my bar bill! | |||
