I came here with my family in 2006 - we were originally booked into another GC hotel but were told 3 days before departure that we were being moved - and what a move it was!! It was a stunning hotel - only opened the year before. The location is great - its not far from the nightlife but far... more

Stayed here for a week in March 2009 on half board basis. Room was up on the 7th floor but did not seem to cause a problem, might be though in the peak season as they are quite small (6 people at a pinch). Room service quite satisfactory and kept clean. Food was good with plenty of choice but don't... more

Excellent hotel, standards were superb. Rooms cleaned everyday, linen changed every second day, pool and pool area was spotless. Service was great. Mini kids club (worker called Ben) was absolutely excellent, fluent in 5/6 languages and was easily able to communicate with the kids. As it was mainly mainly dutch, there was no excessive drinking around the pool area, no... more

This is our second visit and we adore this place, its so peaceful and relaxing... however the second week we were here (29th june-13th july) it was the beginning of the spanish holidays and near our bungalow was 5 spanish families who all knew each other. The noise was unbelievable, we could hear their conversation from inside our bungalow (until... more

Great stay at the Riu Clubhotel Gran Canaria in Melonares.. We took 2 teenagers with us in July 2009. Flights on time, with Thomsons, the hotel welcomed us and another flight late in the evening with a cold buffet and drinks, which was a nice welcome.. Hotel provides free large bottles of water and theres a fridge in the room.... more

We ate here 3 times on our recent trip to GC. We had dinner one evening with 15 people and the food was really nice and the staff were so friendly. We went back once more for lunch and then again for dinner. They do an awesome Caprese Salad and the lamb is mouthwatering! This was our favourite place to... more

I visited the Marina Suites with 2 of my friends and we had a lovely time and the hotel is lovely and clean etc. The only area I found fault was with the service - most notably the reception staff. The reception staff were very rude - on arrival when requesting a safe in our room we were told that... more

From the personal pick up when we arrvied to the same back to the airport on our departure, Lawrence and Eddie were the perfect hosts for us. We were looking to for a holiday where we could chill out during the day, and then have fun in the Yumbo all night (only a 5 minute walk away), and we more... more

Read all the previous reviews before booking. The suite and the pools are kept very clean and the apartment and balcony is massive with table, chairs and two sun loungers. The lower hotel/suites would have a poor if non-existent sea views but the higher levels (we were on level 5) were fine. We would not rate the main restaurant at... more

On a business trip, I was shipped to this hotel from the IFA beach because overbooked. A pleasant receptionist allocated me to room 111. This happened to be immediately next to the hotel disco. Needless to say that this made it impossible to sleep. The continous sound of music and people chatting was tantamount to torture! Because the room has... more

I frequently visit the area form the UK on business. On three consecutive occasions over the last year, despite having a valid booking, I have been greeted by a receptionist stating that there was no room for me. I am always invited to go to their nearby "sister hotel" IFA atlantic club (see review). There seems to be a pattern.... more

As usual we looked up previous reviews to find better restaurants than the standard "British Menus" offered in the main Puerto Rico precinct. We were not disappointed! Although approximately twice as expensive as on the main drag, the food, presentation, and staff service was first class. We ate there twice during our two week stay and would recommend Caballito de... more

we stayed for a week at babalu and found it very enjoyable.we stayed on the ground floor which was very handy as we could walk out our front door and into the pool.the room was very clean as was the bathroom.maid service was also good.its up a very steep hill so i would advise getting taxis to go into puerto... more

We arrived about 4:30am after checking in we were told that the restaurant was open if we wante to get something to eat. We didn't bother but it... more
