DON GREGORY by Dunas
San Agustin, Gran Canaria

Mrs P Price, Norwich

Pros:- excellent staff, excellent cleanliness, two lovely pools, warm enough to swim in, hotel very modern, all inclusive drinks great. Cons:- food very bland, no vegetables, toaster in restaurant rubbish. Shower and toilet in bedroom in glass cubicles. No privacy! Sink in bedroom too. Toilets near pool are downstairs with no handrail, 1 lift not working, entertainment was a bit hit and miss, pillows on beds very hard, balcony lights go out at 1, no individual switch, no coffee or tea making facilities in rooms, no drawers in rooms, no hot water every morning, no smoking on balconies! Lovely setting right on beach but would not return to this hotel, it's a shame someone has messed up the refurbishment of this hotel! It was better before according to return customers we met there, but most people said they would not return.

A lovely spacious room overlooking the hotel, gardens and the sea which was only yards away. The room was spotlessly clean and towels and bedding changed regularly (the towels were nice and thick). Bathroom toiletries were generous and regularly replenished. We had a coffee making machine and kettle for tea making in our room which was a nice surprise and very welcome. There was also a safe for which there was a modest daily charge and a fridge which was very useful. All the rooms have beautiful sea views and it was lovely to sit on the balcony and watch the world go by on the promenade which runs from San Agustin to Maspalomes - we walked to Maspalomes several times and it takes about 35 minutes. In the dining room the choice of food was excellent and beautifully displayed - a wide range of salad and cold meats and several hot choices including some cooked to order and fresh fruit or selection of nice desserts also- there really was something for everyone available. In the morning on the patio by the pool there were several freshly blended fruit smoothies available which was a nice start to the day, a wide variety of cold meats, cereal and cooked items as well as omelettes cooked to order. We found all the staff to be friendly and professional and nothing was too much trouble although there were occasional language difficulties it didn't present any problems; there were a wide variety of guests in varying ages from several countries and I would say that English were in the minority but this did not spoil the experience in any way. There were a few children staying but the majority of guests were adults and there weren't really any facilities for children in all honesty. (The majority of guests were over 60). Entertainment in the hotel was varied and much like most hotels who have to cater for diverse range of ages and nationalities. There were plenty of activities for adults during the day such as yoga, aqua aerobics, archery and tennis.
Wifi was free and very good reception. To sum up, this hotel is in the most beautiful location, ticked all the boxes for us and we were delighted that we chose it and would certainly return as long as the impending refurbishments don't put the price up beyond our budget.

The hotel was lovely, right next to the beach but it is for the older age group but was fine for a short five day break.

Great hotel with friendly staff. Food was good with plenty of variety. The hotel visitors are almost all German - not a problem to me, but if you like to chill out around the pool - forget it. The beds are all reserved by our continental friends from very early in the morning and the hotel doesn't seem to have a policy to stop this. This didn't affect us as we were out and about all day but anyone wanting to stay local would have had a disappointing week. The location was fantastic, located right on the edge of the beach with all rooms having sea views.

We stayed at the Dunas Don Gregory Hotel last year and enjoyed the experience so much that we decided to return this year. We were not disappointed, the staff were very pleasant and willing to assist in all our needs. The hotel is well located with magnificent views of Burras beach although the pool area can be a little crowded at times. The food choice was wonderful and well presented. The rooms although now a little dated were clean and comfortable.
