The room was really nice and the staff were so lovely. Food was as expected at a all inclusive but fresh, pre made cocktails and local drinks as part of the inclusive and you can pay extra for international brands

We had a lovely stay here. There was lots of choice of food, but for the evenings there wasn’t much choice for vegetarian's and sometimes the labelling of food wasn’t great so couldn’t tell if it had meat or not (this was mainly on the tapas and salad side). The pool area is really lovely and it is a short walk to the beach.

We love the staff as everyone was so lovely and nice. The room was spacious for a family but it needs a bit of renovation to meet the 4 stars. The bathroom as well was old and the door was damaged from the water. The food was good with a lot of variety. For Christmas and New Year’s Even there was a special dinner that we enjoyed.

The hotel is conveniently located near the beach. The hotel is a bit tatty starting from the reception which is nowhere 4 stars. Tv has 2-3 English speaking channels, sky news, cnn and France 24, so if you are not interested in news then you will have to watch tv in Spanish or German. The subtitle option on the remote does not work. In five days we had cockroaches in the room every single day and this was on the top floor. Once the light is off they are there, so we ended up sleeping with the lights on. Complained about this at the reception several times, someone came with the spay (I can still smell it after leaving the hotel) but it didn’t help. Cockroaches came back on the very next day. The food is ok, a bit repetitive but again, the restaurant was full of flies which just walked on the food, e.g bread, desserts… The ladies at the reception were very friendly but I guess the can only do things that is within their remit. The cleaning lady was very good.

Wouldn't stay again
We just checked out of this hotel this morning. Overall I would say we will not return, having been coming to Gran Canaria for 12+ years and trying new hotels. It was not worth the nearly 300 euro we paid for 2 nights. The hotel itself is definitely not 4 stars. Our room was in building 1 on the ground floor, and has a smell of sewage 80% of the time. When we checked in, there were dead bugs on the floor. The toilet lock is broken off, and the back door is hard to open and close, looks like it is damaged. The food was ok, pretty typical for all inclusive, nothing was delicious from the food. It was pretty bland. There was not a great selection of food for children. The worst thing about the hotel is the sunbed situation. When we checked in I was happy to see a sunbed policy, whereby you cannot leave your towel on a bed and leave for more than 60 minutes or it will be removed. This however, was not in effect. On Saturday we went to breakfast at 8 am and 95% of the beds had towels on. When we were ready to go to the pool at around 10am, there were no beds left, however all of the beds were still empty but with towels on them. There were no beds left, and a pregnant lady gave up her bed to a lady in a wheelchair. When I asked for a bed a kind worker got us two which were positioned at the back which was fine. The staff seemed very hard working and happy to help you with anything. Any staff members I talked to were friendly and kind

Good Value for money Location- near the beach, transportation and shops. Hotel also calls taxi which arrives very quickly. Inclusive buffet- good value for money and lots of variety. Food is well seasoned and restaurant is constantly cleaned. Staff- friendly, warm and helpful. We did go in august therefore it was very busy but it did exceed my expectations and I would go there again. They also offer complimentary access to a local spa for sauna, pool and steamer which was great. We paid for a massage separately which was again great. Fab stay.

Not a 4star property. The food was poor occasionally average and regularly cold, people were putting their food in the microwave to warm it up. The chefs idea of a varied menu was to see how many different ways he could Cook pork. Both bars were outdoor not ideal on a chilly evening, and closed at 11pm. The animation team worked hard day and night to keep people entertained but the professional entertainment was limited to 30 minutes a night. The advertised bath robes were not provided and the bathroom was in need of much TLC. The pool area was poor with insufficient sun umbrellas and many of the ones that were there were faulty, the loungers were dirty and the surrounding areas had many cracked and loose tiles,in addition to which the paint in the pool was flaking off. the only good point were the room being clean and the staff who were attentive and very hard working

La la la la labranda!
For a mid-priced, no thrills complex in Gran Canaria this was a good choice. Spacious and clean room, daily housekeeping, reasonable pool, decent food and drinks (worth going all inclusive) - (I avoided the boiled eggs at breakfast after the first encounter) but the rest was fresh and good quality. Staff were always really helpful and friendly. My only criticism is of some of the other guests. It’s a cliche but, a number of German guests must have gotten up at 6am to put towels on the sun loungers by the pool and then just left them all day. So the loungers around the pool are empty all day and everyone sits further back.

Disappointing
Very disappointed in this hotel. The bathroom had mould on the ceiling which midway through they tried to put right by painting. All this achieved is a hole in the ceiling that water dripped out of. Generally the maintenance of the hotel was poor with several holes in the walls. The beds were hard and made lots of noise when you moved. The staff by the pool were friendly and the food was ok

Excellent hotel
The staff were so friendly and attentive. My mother is quite old and the staff were so kind and thoughtful. They were professional but at the same down-to-earth. The pool was beautiful and warm and the food in the restaurant on the all-inclusive was excellent. We both loved everything about this hotel. The hotel was very clean and they were very COVID conscious and ensured that people were wearing masks and using the sprays.

Upon arriving to the property I was told that hotel is overbooked. They send me to another hotel: Occidental Margaritas, San Bartolome de Tirajana. So things are happen and I have no choice, but take there proposition. Maybe because I booked only 1 night. I got all inclusive 1 bedroom apartment with good view from the balcony. This resort style hotel has a lot of amenities and free shuttle to the beach. Food is good and staff is friendly.

Hotel was well located near bars, shopping and bus station. Large, comfortable room, TV had several UK channels. Balcony small, with poor outlook and large palm tree right in front so no sun. The staff were very friendly and helpful. All inclusive and excellent value for money. Food was good but some items (particularly potatoes of various types) were warm rather than hot. Nice pool area and water was warm enough for swimming. Animation staff were very enthusiastic and worked hard. Struggled to get good wifi signal on both my phone and tablet and this a definite area for improvement.
