Hotels in Gran Canaria

"The hotel is supposed to be one of the top hotels in Gran Canaria but is far from being the best. We paid for an ocean front room. Our room was located in the 5th floor of the main building which we thought was a good thing. The balcony door could be open or closed & the noise was the same. The shows started at 10pm and ended at 11pm. Awful noise until 1am. The room temperature can not be controlled by any guest. It is controlled by the property & set to 70o F. We were sweating every night & called the front desk who answered…”we can’t change the temperature for ecological reasons”. The pool service was pitiful. No waiters to attend any pool chairs. If you wanted anything you had to walk to one of the bars, if they were open, & wait forever to get service. The kitchen in all outside bars closed at 4pm even for snack/tapas. And no drinks around any pool bar after 5:45pm. The beach is not hotel front, you have a good walk to get to the sand. You can only get a dry pool towel between 10am and 12pm, they are closed outside those hours. We paid for breakfast included with our stay. One morning we had an early tour and they said they would prepare a breakfast to go. The bag we received left a lot to be desired compared to the breakfast buffet at the hotel. It had a cold sandwich with old bread & fruits that were starting to rot. This is the only hotel were I have stayed and the king bed only had two pillows for 2 people. We had to order two additional pillows. Stay elsewhere!!"

"Amazing stay overall. "

"Lovely hotel and the best all inclusive we have stayed in out of the whole of Spain and Canary Islands"

"It was a nice place, breakfast was good as well however parking was limited and we had to park outside the property several times. In addition what was disappointing is that the adults only pool can only be accessed if you have an adults only room rather than being for adults only. This means that the majority of people gather around one pool rather than being able to access both. The two pools was one of the selling points for us and we did not realise you needed to book specific room types, so be aware when you book your room."

"The food was INCREDIBLE! Thee rest buffet restaurant and all inclusive I’ve been to by far. It was very windy and rainy most days I was there but the staff made up for it by putting together games and fun drinks for both adults and kids. It was so much fun but also nice and relaxing. The amenities were phenomenal and my room was impeccable 😊🙌"

"Good location. Lovely staff and fantastic food! Big rooms and spotless"

"We were there for two nights,20-22/3, the breakfast was excellent, swimming pools lovely and room was great on the first night. The second night we couldn’t sleep most of the night as it was raining heavily and water was dripping through the balcony window onto the floor making a sound even when I placed three large towels on the floor. In the morning when we were leaving I spoke to Stephanie, customer relations, and told her we couldn’t sleep: she said we could have changed rooms, I replied that it was 2.00 in the night and we were also leaving that morning, also that we would not be returning to the island.She said she would look into the matter, I also showed her a video taken during the night. Later I asked her if the hotel could pay for our taxi into town as compensation,she said it was not possible as they were a different company. Later I received her email saying that the weather had affected many other businesses and that I could get an upgrade if I booked again. She clearly did not listen to me when I said we would not be returning ever again. I feel that this is unacceptable, especially as this was an expensive hotel, the customer service was not up to standard. I have used Hotels .com for many years and never complained, but in this instance I think that some compensation is required "

"We've had a disappointing stay this week. It began at check in when the staff seemed disinterested and not very knowledgeable. We weren't offered help with our cases and had to carry them up 27 steps. The room lacked character, but was generally clean. We tried to book in at the spa to be told it was fully booked ( not a problem). We tried to book later into the week and the staff member then booked us onto the wrong day. Again we decided to switch our itinerary rather than have to explain again. I then received no fewer than 7 emails all in Spanish regarding our booking. I had no idea what they said, so had to go back upto the spa to check all was okay. On the morning of our booked treatments we turned up to find the thalasso was out of order ( no email this time). We had our massages and decided to use the thalasso part later in the week. The massages were a great disappointment, very lacklustre and quite a bit of the 50 mins seemed to be hands off. The room was cold and bare and lacked ambience. We returned later in the week to use the thalasso and found a private party was going on, on the terrace. So instead of a relaxing and serene time all we could hear was the loud boom boom of the base music. The men's changing rooms, were out of use and so we were all in together. Not a big problem, but again no mention pre arrival and it's a very small space. There's lots more I could add, including lack of a freindly atmosphere, but unfortunately I have run out of characters. "

"Large room with nice view but you can tell it’s an aging building, mattresses and pillows are on their last leg- all super deflated / soggy. Not worth paying extra for the jacuzzi on the terrace - it’s basically a slightly larger version of a bathtub that doesn’t keep the heat. It takes you an hour to fill up and gets cold pretty quickly- not a proper hottub- disappointing. Food was mediocre, wilted salad and mostly yellow / fried food at the hot counter. None of the pastries, cakes etc are made on site. Little variety. That said, it’s ok if you want pasta, burger or tries with chicken nuggets. Not worth 40euros per head. Staff were very nice though and property was clean. "
