Giniginamar Holidays

This hotel was very large, with lots of steps to get anywhere. Only one pool was heated, the smaller pool, and the beds around that pool filled quickly. The food for British visitors was limited and the one shop was not permitted to sell drinks. We were able to purchase water from reception, but other than the bars, there is nothing else local. We got taxi’s too and from jandia centre several times. The hotel staff were really pleasant and accommodating. I found the room cold at night and they brought 3 additional duvets. They were always helpful and kind. The staff in the dining room and on the pool bar were lovely, I just found the hotel a little too big. The room was always cleaned well and we had a really pleasant stay.

We have been here many times over the years. This was the first time since it reopened as Paradisus after refurbishment. We decided to try the Reserve level. It was much more expensive and did not offer very much extra in terms of facilities or dining options. The Reserve Pool area is enclosed by a concrete wall like a stockade or prison. It is still the windiest pool and we spent more time around the lagoon pool on the sheltered & sunnier side of the hotel. Reserve also offered breakfast in a separate dining area with table service. This area also served as a bar & lounge for Reserve during the day. Again we didn’t spend any time in there. The hotel was NOT full and a lot of staff were wandering around asking if everything was alright but they didn’t really want to hear anything but yes. The huge sandy beach is the attraction of this hotel for us and it is likely we will return, but not to the Reserve Level.

We stayed at this hotel for a week and overall had a really lovely time. The food was great, the views were beautiful, and there were plenty of pools to choose from. We really appreciated having a separate adults-only area as well as easy access to the beach. The staff at the bar and at reception were fantastic. Always friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and they really made a difference to our experience. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel for its location, facilities and great food.

This hotel is spread out over a hillside. It has many chill out areas - both sitting and lounging (indoor and outdoor). There are a variety of shops onsite and a supermarket up the road. There is a spa and activities programme but I didn't use either. The rooms are spacious with plenty of storage. The rooms are downhill from the main building. It is a steep hill to get from the rooms to the main building / restaurant. Returning to my room in the evening as a lone female, I didn't feel safe because of the low lighting along the pathway. There is gated access to the beach from the hotel. There is steep gravel hill to get to and from the beautiful beach.
