Gran Canaria Hotel Guide - Playa El Pirata hotels in Gran Canaria, Spain.

"Excellent hotel. BUT, the noise from loud bands every night is unacceptable. The noise fills the entire hotel between 8 and 10pm. And there is no quiet space anywhere. "

"We had a room on the water which made it worth the £ for me. You can visit both sister hotels… activities were really nice addition. Dinner was brilliant. "

"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. "

"Clean rooms, food was great, activity staff were excellent for my 9 and 12 year old!"

"Super, clean, friendly and safe place. Highly recommend "

"Our third stay at New Folias. Clean, comfortable room with a lovely sea view. Staff helpful and friendly. We didn't have breakfast so can not comment. "

"Window broken and unable to fix. Noisy in rooms in early evening and early mornings as lots of kids. Biffet pretty good. Inexpensive markets and places to eat rigjt around hotel"

"Rooms was pretty dirty, windows could not be properly locked, kitchen falling apart."

"Ramon was very helpful with information on finding and accessing the apartment.The apartment was clean and very well equipped with everything you could need.The area is a little quiet but right on the beach. There is only one restaurant close by, but there are other restaurants within a twenty-minute walk.If you are looking for a relaxing stay, away from the crowds, I would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment "
