We stayed at the hotel from February 11th to February 18th and had a spacious double room with a terrace. The room itself was very large and comfortable. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, and every detail of our stay was carefully explained. The breakfast buffet was impressive, and the service staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. It was immediately noticeable how much the hospitality here differs positively from what we are used to in Germany. Everyone we encountered was polite, attentive, and genuinely kind. The hotel’s entertainment and programs were outstanding, and we felt very comfortable throughout our stay. The housekeeping was excellent, and every request we had was fulfilled promptly and with care. We can only highly recommend this hotel. The combination of spacious rooms, exceptional breakfast, and outstanding service staff makes it an unforgettable experience. If you are planning a stay in Gran Canaria, this hotel is an excellent choice!

Wir waren vom 11. Februar bis zum 18. Februar im Hotel und hatten ein wunderschönes, geräumiges Doppelzimmer mit Terrasse. Schon bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir herzlich empfangen, und jedes Detail unseres Aufenthalts wurde uns mit großer Freundlichkeit und Professionalität erklärt – wir fühlten uns sofort willkommen. Das Frühstücksbuffet war einfach unglaublich – riesige Auswahl, liebevoll angerichtet und begleitet von einem Servicepersonal, das kaum zu übertreffen ist. Freundlichkeit, Aufmerksamkeit und Herzlichkeit der Mitarbeiter machen den Aufenthalt hier wirklich besonders. Man merkt sofort, wie positiv sich der Service von dem unterscheidet, was wir in Deutschland gewohnt sind. Das Hotel bietet zudem ein fantastisches Unterhaltungsprogramm, und wir haben jede Minute genossen. Die Zimmerreinigung war tadellos, und jeder unserer Wünsche wurde prompt und mit großer Sorgfalt erfüllt – man fühlt sich hier rundum umsorgt. Wir können dieses Hotel von ganzem Herzen empfehlen. Die Kombination aus geräumigen Zimmern, exzellentem Frühstück, herausragendem Service und einem wunderbaren Ambiente macht den Aufenthalt unvergesslich. Wer nach Gran Canaria reist, sollte dieses Hotel auf keinen Fall verpassen – wir kommen definitiv wieder!

Prima appartement, keukentje, woonkamer, slaapkamer. Groot terras. Heel schoon. Drie zwembaden, veel ligbedden. Loopafstand tot veel restautants en de spectaculaire zand duinen. Eldorado voor mannen, dat wel, hoewel daar hierbinnen in Barbacan weinig van is te merken.
