Playa del Ingles, Gran Canaria

Mr K Lang, Ayr

Very enjoyable.

Mr S Haggart, Aberdeen

Hotel is average at best, staff are very ignorant. The food at best is edible. What you don't tell you is you will pay €3 a day for a safe and 1€ a day to change your towels.

Mrs E Chitic, Barking

Very nice staff, all day long activities, clean rooms, large fridge, excellent.

Miss S Padgham , West Wickham

Amazing place, food and staff.

Mr R Knatchbull, Southend-on-sea

This is a good all inclusive hotel. The rooms are pleasant, clean and quiet with good maid service. The restaurant is well staffed and laid out with a nice selection of food. Entertainment is provided most of the day by various artists. A good experience overall.

Mr P Gravener, St. Helens

Rooms excellent and cleaned daily, food and drink plentiful and good, staff very friendly and always willing to assist. Pools and areas cleaned daily. First time holidayed in October so very child free making for a quiet relaxing break. 3rd time visitors.

Hotel and rooms impeccably clean. Restaurant had a variety of choice and was well cooked.
Not everything was included in 'all inclusive' which was unclear. Pools were clean and areas around were well kept. Unfortunately no balls or inflatables allowed in the pool. I have older children who were disappointed at this. Sunbeds were well maintained. Even saw numerous being replaced. Approx a mile from the beach area, well supplied by taxis at a minimal cost. Overall a decent hotel and very family orientated.

Mr M Lord, Liversedge

Food and restaurant and bar very good, everything nice and clean and well presented couldn't fault it. Room comfortable clean and generally quiet. Disappointed with pool area which could have been cleaner. Tab ends, drinking straws and other bits of debris often in evidence under the loungers, slack cleaners but more so slack guests with much lower standards than my wife and I. Personally I think toddlers should not be allowed in the pool wearing nappies, it didn't encourage me to go for a swim!

Mr A Byrne , Liverpool

Lovely hotel, very clean, good variety of food, really enjoyed our stay.

Great location, free buses to the beaches. Friendly staff throughout, good food and fantastic waiting staff in restaurant - quick, efficient and always with a smile!! Good size room overlooking pool - cleaned daily. Two pools - never had a problem finding sun bed. Overall very happy and hope to return next April.

Mr M Moss, Sheffield

Very noisy hotel. Kids entertainment far too loud. Apart from that everything else about the hotel is very good. Good choice of food. Nice clean rooms and very good location.

Mr N Loft, Bristol

Staff attentive. Not too crowded. Food good. Cleaning frequent and to a high standard. Free fridge in room. Requests met.

Mr A Swann, Nottingham

Check in was fast enough and I was directed to my superior single room on the 4th floor, which I didn't realise till I was unpacking was right next to the elevator. The elevator in question seemed to have a mind of it's own and when it arrived particularly on my floor would then seem to get stuck, and attempt to clothes it's doors four sometimes six times before ascending or descending again. The overall room(s) were nice enough with a nice double wardrobe and comfortable bed. The mini fridge could have worked better and was more a chiller as my stored drinks were never that cold. The bathroom was a nice size but unfortunately had a large mold patch directly above the shower. Also the room itself received no direct sunlight as it was in the corner, the balcony overlooked the pool area which could be very noisy. I wasn't going to complain about that as I was a single traveler. But on my first night I didn't get a wink of sleep because of being next to the lift shaft, so the next day I had to purchase some earplugs. The following evening I arrived home to find ants all over the floor, I went down to reception to complain but a whole bus load of new guests had arrived with only one receptionist to deal with, so I decided to mention it when I wouldn't have to wait the next day. When I did it was sorted immediately however, in this class of hotel I would not expect to have to complain about ants. Also I still saw them during my stay. Finally on to the food. It was varied and plentiful however, it was hardly ever hot. You often had to wait for items to be refilled which was the only time hot food seemed hot. Other than that, the hotel was kept very clean and was in a very handy position, I only sunbathed on the small naturist terrace on the roof, which was pleasant enough but, quite comical as it quite clearly states so on the sign before you climb up the last set of stairs. People would still open the door only to close it quickly with a shock on their face? I think this more a family friendly hotel or couples hotel, in a good position but not particularly close to the beach, a bus is provided to get to the beach should you want to go.

Mrs J Buzzard, Aldeburgh

This hotel was the best AI we have ever been too, everything was outstanding.

Mrs E Walding, Cwmbran

Hotel rooms were lovely, been recently updated. The cleaners were available and maintained the cleanliness of the rooms everyday. Staff were helpful. Animation staff worked hard. The sun beds were a nightmare as nowhere near enough sun loungers for the capacity of the hotel therefore you would queue from approx 7:30am until the pool man arrived to put them out nightmare! Food was lovely but not much variety for children in the evenings.
