Hi Merlin, this would depend on exactly where on Vista Golf 2 you are staying - you would need to do a "wireless search" from the property to see which signals you are able to pick up. If you are lucky enough to be staying within very close range of a WIFI mast (I know Canarynet has one covering this area) then you could connect this way and buy an internet access voucher. If you were situated a little further from the antenna then you could either bring a USB wireless adaptor which would amplify the signal from the main antenna (25 - 30 quid on Amazon) or alternatively the WIFI companies here can install a box on the roof - not sure the latter would be an option for you though as you are only staying a short while - a popular option for residents or those having a holiday home though. Hope this helps.

We stay at Vista Golf. I have a  Soanish Orange sim for my ipad, which I get topped up at Atlantico each time we come. Excellent connection. Costs €30 per month, but on offer just now for €20 . Well worth the money to us. Saves a fortune on phone calls, newspapers etc.

if buying a booster to use with any of us wifi providers on the island, make sure it is Wireless N (MIMO). you will get much better connection and speed. Also one that uses both frequencies 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz would be an even better buy and give more options....and don´t go for advertised power, go for quality ;-)
