Gran Canaria Princess

"Still here now and been enjoying my holiday until tonight when suddenly sat outside quietly talking with friends we were told in no uncertain terms we had to go inside with our drinks by a security guard, been sat here most nights with no problem, what's changed tonight, asked the young lady who was clearing glasses and she was puzzled too, not happy tonight 🙂"

"Last visited here in 2014, major upgrade have taken place. There is currently work happening on the exterior which can be heard in the rooms as they start with their drilling at 8am but wasnt too bad. Pool area was great, sunbeds cannot be reserved before 10am and all sunbeds have notices on but.... we didnt see anyone removing anything from reserved beds that were empty before this time, not sure if this is because it was a quiet time or they dont enforce it. Food was lovely, a lot better than we remember. Not once, could we not find anything to eat, all was hot and well presented. There is a outside food area but we couldnt work out how to use it so we just ate in the main restauarant . Bars were ok. It was hard to work out what was included or not. The self server bars were useful (Beers, soft drinks, coffee, water) anything else the staff made on request. Ice cream from pool bar was a nice touch. Only complaint about drinks was the coffee and juice machines. One day, almost all coffee machines were not working (including the pool bar machine) and the one machine had a very long queue. Other days you had to walk around to find a coffee machines were . machines were hit and miss one day they were over concentrated and others more like water with colour. Only other issue was we done online check in which made no difference at all, despite presenting the QR code and proof they still made us complete all the paperwork again, our friends who done online check in too just had to sign the form no idea why we had to do it all again and the receptionist wouldnt speak to us but not much of an issue. Evening entertainment was hit and miss. We did enjoy Gimme Gimme and the circus act but the MJ act was shocking but its free and a nice touch. We would definately return to this hotel."

"Our 2nd stay at Gran Canaria Princess and we won’t be waiting 8 years to return! As we’d arrived at 9.30pm, once we’d checked in and went to our room we found a packed lunch in our room for us and a welcoming bottle of red wine (thank you so much for this). We were located on the first floor, room 162, which was at the pool end. The balcony was huge and wrapped around the corner which was surprising. The room was clean and tidy and spacious. There was work being carried out which we were made aware of prior to arriving and were admittedly dubious about, but we really had nothing to worry about as the noise was minimal. Staff were friendly, cleaning staff always said Good morning as we passed them in the hallway. Reception and Bar staff were very helpful and friendly. It’s a very chilled out atmosphere being an adults only hotel, there is music by the pool but it’s not blaring, just loud enough to hear. They do have daily activities such as aqua aerobics, darts, archery etc and evening entertainment. Theres plenty to do, if not poolside, you can speak to a rep and organise excursions, I highly recommend the dolphin search (just don’t forget your travel sickness tablets), Aqualand is also a must, even for the big kids! A trip to the Yumbo which isn’t too far either. Food was great, there was plenty of variety, something for everyone even the fussy eaters. All in all an amazing holiday, thank you to the Staff who all work so hard to make our stay enjoyable. We’ll be back 2027!"
