Family-friendly Hotels in Gran Canaria

This was our fourth visit in January and we had perfect weather for relaxing and reading by the quiet pool in the Privilege area where we could drink whatever when we wanted to. With 5 restaurants for evening meal, we were not short of lovely food to choose from. Though the hotel was busy, the peace and quiet was wonderful for us. We did not go anywhere much but just relaxed by the pool or walked the promenade. Under cloudless clear blue skies, the tanning was wonderful. Staff were friendly and very helpful.

From the moment we arrived and had our first meal we knew this hotel was very nice indeed . So starting with the food the selection was truly amazing at every mealtime and even in the snack . Evening meals we had roasts , fish , tiger prawns , smoked salmon and even caviar WOW ! Huge salad bar and choices of rice pastas and potatoes and veg . If you don’t want formal lunch the snack bar does help yourself burgers sandwiches pizza (to die for ) pasta hotdogs and the usual chips nuggets and fish fingers . Still a big salad bar and gorgeous homemade soup . Great selection in every venue I challenge anyone to be hungry . Drinks plentiful and lager much better than normal Spanish fayre . The rooms are big with very comfy beds and walk in showers they are extremely clean and the maid service is exceptional . The pool is huge and very clean with plentiful sun beds and the adult only spa area is really nice with lots more sun beds this is really neat the snack bar for ease of getting drinks . The entertainment was the usual singer or circus act ok if you like that sort of thing we went out after dinner every night as not our cup of tea . All in all though this hotel is amazing and I’m booking again for next year

New Year 2024 The first thing you need to know is that the apartments and hotel are separate entities. The complex is vast and split into ”zones” If you are self catering in the apartments then it's not possible to enter the hotel zones meaning you can't enjoy the entertainment which was very disappointing considering we had booked for New Year. Many guests were unaware of this and in agreement we would have been willing to pay to join in the celebrations. The apartments themselves are definitely in need of a refresh/refurbishment. The kitchen area is very small, 2 electric hobs with a microwave, kettle and a toaster. Some cutlery, 2 pots and 1 frying pan. Our beds in the room were twin and the sofa turned into a bed which was suitable for our 12 year old For some reason we only had 2 duvets and then a thin white sheet. Cleaning was sporadic and after 4 days we went to reception to ask for clean towels and a toilet roll top-up. The cleaner did eventually arrive that evening and change the bedding. The mop they use is a spray mop so not very thorough but they do what they can with the tools they are given. The pool area is fine, plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas The location is very far out from the main areas, 30-45 minutes walk but there is a free bus into town that leaves at 9.30am (we didn't ever use it) There is also a free bus to Aqualand Water park. Taxis are readily available and reception will phone one for you. Cost is roughly €7 to playa del Ingles and €9 to Meloneras There is a Spar a few minutes walk which is a bit more expensive than the Hiperdino but ideal for essential items Hiperdino is a 15 minute walk possibly. Holiday World is close by and perfect for grabbing food and some drinks if you aren't fussed on going into the main areas For the price we paid and given the time of year, the apartment's were adequate for a break in the sun
