Moderate stay
It was ok, not as I had hoped for, it’s far from the airport and really expensive cab fairs. Nothing to do and charges to use sauna and not much food for vegetation’s.

Nice hotel with wonderful service and a beautiful view. The staff was very kind, hard working, and helpful. The price for half board was definitely worth the price and I highly recommend it. The same can be said about the hot stone massage at the hotel spa. We were very happy with our stay here, and in fact spent most of our time on the island at the hotel.

Fabulous location on the coast with lovely views. Easy walk down to the port and to the sea pools. Breakfast - lots of choice including lots of lovely fresh fruits etc. Dinner - a weird selection of things - perhaps themed nights would be better to prevent the general mish mash. Lovely big pool, lots of sun loungers but very few (approx 10!!) parasols. Some very negative points however No drawers at all in the bedroom so it got very cluttered. (Very strange in a good sized bedroom - masses of room for drawers) Two separate beds with no zip link facility so big gap. Dreadful smell of damp and the air conditioning was not working. Engineer said all over the hotel was an issue. The damp was really bad - I partially cured it by putting laundry detergent down the drain and pouring boiling water down. Bedroom was not well cleaned - lots of grime generally. The strangest thing was that above the bed there was a huge rectangle of glowing light when we put the lights out.. so irritating as it made the room light. Also because of no air con we had sliding balcony door open and there was lots of light pollution from lights outside. Getting a bath towel - the most ridiculous procedure.. have to pay ten euros cash, go and get a voucher then go and get a towel from reception... what a performance. No live music as promised on rooftop terrace (which is lovely) Waitresses were lovely but other staff surly and did not seem well trained. Restaurant is like underground car park

Great Place
We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The reception staff, particularly Alfredo and Edwardo (I may their names wrong) helped us when I accidently booked your two day stay for one person, when it should have been two people. Quite frankly they could have ripped us off to make the change but they did not do that. Instead they waived a penalty and provided us with a comparable price that we previously had, adjusted up for the extra meals. The location is terrific, we enjoyed the entertainment, grounds, pool and especially the walk across the sand doons to the beautiful beach.

We stayed here for 10days and had two connecting rooms. Both were a great size and as a young family of 5 had so much space. We were on the same floor as the pool and access to the pool was brilliant. It was a lovely pool area, with a small childrens pool and an adult only bubble pool. There is also a pool side bar which you can get drinks and light snacks from the day and carlos was brilliant-friendly. I have to mention all the hotel generally appeared clean there was an issue with cockroaches. We found main dead in the corridor outside our room and had to kill two ourselves inside the room. We notified management, and "extra cleaning" offered for the next day although we had to remind them and follow this up due to staff stortage. I also spoke about this on check out and after the reception staff told management whilst we sat in reception for 45 mins waiting for taxi, no further interaction was made to us. That was very disappointing. We also did notice many smaller "baby" cockroaches which we exterminated after the two huge invaders. This was a shame as most other things were fine. It could have helped if the door had a brush on the bottom but it looked like this was removed and not replaced (both rooms). Breakfast was well-stocked and pretty much the same for 10days. Would have liked poached eggs and hollandaise to be an option but couldnt see this. The hotel is a fairly long way to the village area bit is worth it. The walk back has a very steep hill. Good 3 star not a 4

Lovely hotel on the quiet side of the island. Rooms are cavernous and more than big enough for a family of four. Fabulous views of sea and mountains from the rooftop bar. Staff very happy to help with dietary requirements (coeliac) and also with a room change when the original room was not clean. Parking is not included but is only 6 euros per day in the underground car park.

No reason to go back.
Clearly this hotel had seen better days. It is a beautiful structure with a great pool and roof deck. Amazing views. It really needs some tlc. And money! Our room A/C kinda worked. They were going to send someone up but we thought it was working so we didn’t bother. We were wrong. The room was full of flies. The bed was horrible. The pillows were worse. Ate both dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Buffet style. Bad. Breakfast was better then dinner. I will say the stay were very nice and were great to offer help. Trying to get the room safe working was annoying. Also trying to bet pool towels. What a run around.

Perfect hotel for a short, relaxing stay in Gran Canaria. The location was great, just a short walk from the harbour where there was a good choice of restaurants, the room was comfortable and spacious and the rooftop bar was perfect for a cocktail or two at sunset! I would definately recommend this place.

The swimming pool really should be heated. In the 5 days I was there only 4 people braved the ice cold pool. In this day and age and with so much sun I feel solar panels could be installed for heating the pool. This would have made the resort excellent for me. Its such a shame because I like to have a swim every day when i'm on holiday and this wasn't possible. The food at breakfast could have been hotter.

Wonderful stay in the middle of nature!
The hotel is in an absolutely lovely surrounding right next to the ocean with nature all around. It’s clean and all areas of the hotel were nicely decorated. The roof top bar was amazing as well although its food service closed super early. Our room had a great balcony with a ton of privacy. Only minus point was the temperature in the room and there being no heating (only air conditioning). The hotel staff kindly gave us extra blankets though, as we were so cold.

Think twice if you want to relax and exercise, not
The hotel doesn’t match descriptions, no fitness center, it’s a construction site with noise all day long(starting at 08 am, even on weekends) Which has the effect that it’s noisy but also dust on chairs, tables and clothes which you hang outside for drying
