In Gran Canaria there is now also Peaches and Cream (P&C), called Gatsby in the past,. located in an absolutely strategic position, very near to  the Cita entrance, next to the popular Pepe Ciringo sandwich.

I have always maintained that the success of a club derives not only from its structure but also from the friendliness and interpersonal skills of those who manage it and Hans is no less than Sascha from the Black Bulldog Bar which I have already discussed HERE, two people who are is one of the few positive meanings that can be attributed to the term inclusiveness.

If anyone lived through the times of the Pascha disco on Av. De Tirajana, they can grasp the strong similarities with the P&C from the point of view of the elegance and pleasantness of the environments, the cleanliness and quality of the drinks and also the staff (formerly Fun 4 All which I discussed HERE).

You enter from a downhill avenue, very ambient with the island theme, after passing the entrance door you look into a large open space with the circular bar in the center surrounded by island areas and comfortable sofas, all new and elegantly furnished; on the left side also the projection of porn on the big screen. The most fun thing is the bathrooms, mixed with a central washing area and an adjoining lockers and shower area.

There are two and a half play rooms, all visually connected although with separate entrances; there are large sleeping spaces, a glory all and some basic sado maso equipment. In fact, nothing much but after midnight it fills up with many customers who until a few minutes before were at the bar welcoming mega orgies between couples but with a lot of tolerance towards single men. Perhaps the latter is precisely the limitation of the place which does not have an area dedicated to couples only (there is only the possibility of limiting access to the bed in one part of a playroom with a cord) and which therefore precludes a market share which in Gran Canaria is significant (see the example of Secret club).

The age range of the couples who populate P&C is typical of the swinger world, 40-60 with some notable exceptions on the lower side. The club's policy of not asking couples to pay for entry means that some of them use it more as a passing bar than as a private room, also given that the prices of the drinks are no different compared to the public table. Furthermore, I believe it is always those couples who do not like singles as well as those who try to preserve privacy, which is very difficult in an open environment like Peaches. However, Hans, the manager, monitors the evenings and the behavior of single men to such an extent that until I attended I never saw situations of the type that sometimes happen at the more well-known and pure Secret club collocated in Cita basement, with single men drunks or local peoples that mistakes a swinger  club with a puty club also because to the quiet manners of an internal security that is not very interventionist since it is aware of the fact that you have to pay an entrance fee and of having a large area where couples can take refuge, in which men alone are not allowed.

As I said in the introduction, in the summer period with all the premises half-empty, the P&C was a salvation, as it was the only one that recorded significant attendance even in the midweek which, for a population of holidaymakers such as that of Gran Canaria, is fundamental. A good part of the Fun 4 All goers, probably fed up with the lack of innovation of that place, have moved to Peaches, so if you liked Fun (like me) you will be even happier with Peaches.

Areas of improvement? I would isolate the cinema area and make the visibility of the venue less "circular", leaving more privacy, otherwise a beautiful alternative in the varied swinger panorama of the island.
