We wanted a nice relaxing time away rooms were very clean and clean towels every day.The staff were very friendly and on news eve they whent all out with the food and drink for the gala dinner.the only down side was the pool was so cold so i never swam all week We like a cup of tea when we get up in the morrning so know kettle so i asked for one and had one in 15m
great place to stay

Stayed here from December 21st to 28th. Having read the reviews we were not bothered by the lack of entertainment as we just wanted a quiet break. Rooms were spotlessly clean and towels changed every day.
The pool is not heated so was too cold to use. The resort was not full (about 50%, I'd estimate) so getting sunbeds / mattress was not an issue. I can't really add anything to what's been said. The food was repetitive, so we went out twice during the week. It's not Jail !
They charge for internet in the rooms, but it's free in reception. They charge €10 for pool towels, but you get this back at the end of the stay, and there's a small charge for the safe.
The staff work very hard, but I believe there's a policy of slowing down the service to limit the amount of alcohol you get (For example, if a paying guest pays in cash, they have to go to reception to get change - they will not serve people waiting and then get the change)
There is a really small supermarket in the Las Vegas golf resort opposite. Just buzz at the gate to get in.
I would probably stay here again but would not recommend it if you would get bored with no entertainment.

40 mins walk to anything. No onsite entertainment. No kitchenette of any time - this was a blow & a big surprise to us. TV had many German stations but only Sky News & BBC World News in English - even for these picture qulaity was dire & sound absent on most occasions. Free shuttle bus stopped at 5.45 so were trapped on site unless you took a taxi.
Quality of food got worse as holiday went on - mostly pasta at the end and cold at that. Very few clients, even fewer staff.

We were here at the end of November
Obviously helps that the weather was fantastic
However the hotel matched the weather . Our room was spotless and cleaned daily.
the rooms themselves are like self contained apartments and having your own living area and kitchen area is great . The table and chairs outside give you a feeling of having your own Villa .
The pool area is beautiful as is the whole comlex
We found the food really good , lots of variety and always something to enjoy.
the staff were all very friendly and courteous
the one negative was the bar area and the endless wait to get a drink .
the walk to the lighthouse is really pretty, flat and easy ( a good two miles though )
Taxi's are very reasonable never more than 5 euros pretty much everywhere and the bus service is also vey efficient and free.
Walking the dunes is an experience as is walking the beach from Los Angles to Maspalamas ( a good five plus miles ) Don't do this if you are easily offended.
We would deffinately go back to the Jardin Dorado it's a credit to it's management and staff
Thank you
