5 Star Hotels in Gran Canaria, Canary Islands

"Staff were consistently rude and unapproachable to both myself and my wife, which completely took away from what was meant to be our honeymoon. At times, we were simply ignored, which is unacceptable at any hotel, let alone a resort of this standard. When we tried to book the spa, the staff there told us it was fully booked in a dismissive and borderline hostile manner. It didn’t feel right, so we checked with main reception, who confirmed there were actually spaces available. This means we were either misinformed or outright lied to. When we returned later that day, the spa staff looked shocked to see us, like they didn’t expect us to come back. Breakfast was no better. As it was our first time, we asked a few basic questions about seating and food options and were met with the same attitude, short, dismissive responses, or being ignored altogether. Staff were rude, avoidant, and at times spoke to us in a raised or abrupt tone. The hotel itself is clean and the facilities are genuinely very good, which makes the service even more disappointing. Aside from the cleaning staff, who were great, most of the team we encountered were unprofessional and clearly uninterested in helping guests. Overall, I would not recommend staying here. This wasn’t an isolated experience, other guests we spoke to had similar issues. It’s a real shame, because the facilities are excellent, but the service lets the entire place down."

"This as our 6th visit which in itself speaks volumes. We love this hotel and the area it is located. However, we did notice a difference in the quality and choice of the half board dinner this time. Enough so to possibly consider only going bed & breakfast next time,"

"I had never heard of this brand/group before but decided to stay with them as they had so many properties on Gran Canaria. The hotel was fantastic, like staying in a small town rather than just one building. The staff were some of the best I’ve come across and the breakfast buffet was top notch. I’ll definitely stay with this group again in the future. The area is 10 mins taxi from playa del ingles and there is a bus stop nearby that connects you to the airport."

"Breakfast was fabulous and the hotel has great amenities. The Michelin restaurants were world class but the general restaurant (1890) was ok but there was too big a difference between the quality of the restaurants. The biggest issue was the main bar where the service in the evening was very poor with a 25 min wait to get a drink. Many people were unhappy about this. Overall the hotel is very nice but be prepared for the bar.."

"Had a perfect week's stay. All the staff were so friendly, helpful, and made us feel incredibly welcome. Breakfast was fantastic - we loved the pancakes, fresh fruit, and eggs. The pools are beautiful and as the main lazy river winds around the beautifully planted grounds there's always somewhere fairly private and quiet to lay out. The bars are very fairly priced, with great drinks. Housekeeping quick and great attention to detail. Little details like the access to shower room after you've checked out are so helpful! We don't want to leave! "
