Check in was easy fast and efficient before we got our room key the receptionist told us to go and enjoy our evening meal before the restaurant closes which I thought was nice, once in our room we found it give a large room with more then enough Space for my family and a nice big balcony overlooking the beach gorgeous view.. the staff make this holiday in my Opinion the staff in the restaurants was soo friendly with both my children and the animation team tried soo hard to get my little boy involved and rembered my little girl and always cane to say hi defo the best team Iāve found. The pool although doesnāt get the sun until 11/12 is nice a little chilly getting in but then fine again the best heated pool weāve found in jan, we went to the Wild West village which we caught a free bus just down the road from the hotel was fantastic, the food was good not a wide variety but was tasty and always found something to eat alway fresh pizza and pasta
So now the negatives all inclusive didnāt actually mean all inclusive, my little boy loves slushes they were a Euro each time, Ice lollies again over a Euro, to get WiFi in the room 25euro to hire a remote 10euro although you do get this back at the end of the holiday, towels you pay and the most expensive of all are the mini golf and the bungees go karts and arcade which each night cost me around 30 Euro although you can say no to your children Iām to soft so ended up a experience holiday, also the water park if you can brave the ICY cold water is free to enter but again drinks and food is expensive. Lastly the supermarket is again expensive.
The location isnāt great but buses to get you to other places we got a taxi to Puerto Rico and that was 14 Euro each way although the angry birds theme park is defo a great place for children
Would I return to this hotel? Probably not but my little boy would defo say yes
We arrived really late and were given packed lunches by the staff on reception as we had missed tea, to be honest non of us ate what we were given as they were all warm cheese and ham sandwiches but the thought was there. Breakfast was good we were pleasantly surprised by the food actually. Lunch they had a huge salad selection , fresh pizza which were delicious and fresh meats we really couldnāt fault the restaurant food at all , ( bare in mind youāre at a 3 star hotel ! ) We headed down to the pool the pool well itās tiny for the size of the hotel , the lifeguard is rude and a fun spoiler , no water pistols, no lilos, no laughing , no diving , no pushing your friends in. I get he has to be vigilant but the kids were bored and didnāt want to go in the pool anymore for fear of being shouted at !
Ok so you get the waterpark entry included so itās all ok , well itās so salty it stings your eyes and the kids hated that too.
We thought we would try and see what entertainment was on . The entertainment by the pool was poor to say the least ( not the entertainment teams fault , they just clearly have no budget ) one day the activity was throwing a ball into a cardboard tube ?! What the hell ! Oh and also there was no entertainment on sundays and Mondays !
The kids club girls were fantastic especially
Jasmine and Amanda !
Now onto evening entertainment and this was very good although 3 hotels share the same entertainment so you have to get there early to get a seat, the mini disco
Started too late for one of my boys who fell asleep by 9pm every night .
Because you have to get to the entertainment area early to get a seat you have a long wait , this is where the kids rinse you 5ā¬ for a trampoline , 5ā¬ for the bouncy castle, arcade , minigolf ect ect !
Itās not what we are used to but again itās a 3 star hotel .
The entertainment staff worked really hard and put on some great shows on their days off they got professional acts in.
I wouldnāt return to this resort as itās a little secluded ( although itās easy to get around by bus ) we spent more money here than we normally would on a all inclusive holiday
Rooms are good could not have asked for better cleaned every day and clean towels if you leave them on the bathroom floor.
Food was always good plenty off choice never went hungry staff were very nice all the drinks were strong and nice yes the free ones do finish at 11 but you can get as many as you want anytime or before 11. And then they are really cheap bye one get one free all night in the night club which was quiet, but still a lot off fun and great bar staff.
Entertainment team were amazing did some fantastic shows and got everyone involved had such a laugh they were so friendly. Did lots off stuff in the day as well and were excellent with children.
Pools and water park are cold but ok once your in them plenty off sunbeds the water park is salt water but you do get used to it amazing you can just keep going in all day everyday for free if you want to.
Beach did not go much as not a fan off the beach but it was lovely down there.
Shops had some lovely shops on the resort everything you needed the only thing the pharmacy did not sell pain killers which was a bit strange but not far into town on the bus to get some.
Reception and the trips lady were all really helpful and kind nothing was ever to much trouble.
I really donāt no what people have to complain about this hotel or the location as you can get anywhere for buttons. We had an excellent time and it deffo should be more than a 3 star. Please do not believe all the bad reviews I really donāt no what people expect, we have had the best holiday and would not hesitate to come back thank you Lago for an amazing holiday you do not deserve the bad reviews you get, we will deffo be back in the future.
Weather for people that wonder how the weather would be we went beginning of March and it was very hot every day but you would need a jumper at night
Trips we only did the crocodile park but you get a free bus there and back and it only 10e each really good cheap day out.
i was really surprised as reading comments here or on booking I was expecting something different.
We are travelling frequently and can't say we are really asking for a lot but be aware that it is probably better to go there with older children, who will have fun for sure!
Location is great, too. You are protected from heavy winds sometimes blowing in Maspalomas for instance and the sand beach is ideal, no roads to cross to go there on top. A lot of small shops, this is quite lively.
We did not enjoy fun park as water was way too cold, you could barely see 10 people bathing. As with a lot of other pools in Gran Canaria, it is a big minus.
On arrival we were dropped off and made to walk quiet far to the hotel reception with all our luggage which was the first disappointment.
The waterpark which is free entry but you have to pay for drinks in there, you cant go on any of the slides though as it is ice cold. The pool at the hotel is ok kids loved it but no lilos allowed as the lady lifeguard is very moody.
We travelled as a family off 11, me my husband and children paid extra for the family room, has a kitchen but no cutlery, kettle, plates etc can hire a kettle which worked out around 35euros for 2 weeks no cups though or spoons š¤¦āāļø
It is out of the way of everything which wasnt really a problem as we like walks to explore.
So we are still here now go home on sunday, 7 out of 11 have been struck down with a nasty bug and turns out over 100 people in the hotel are also bad. The rude receptionist tried to say we brought it with us baring in mind today is the 23/1 and we arrived on the 12/1. My baby was sick on the bed and they were reluctant to change the sheets as today wasnt our day!! We watched the maid clean sick up from the pool with no mop bucket just a dirty mop and toilet roll no wonder everyone is bad when they have no hygiene what's so ever!
Worst holiday we have ever been on tbh and I would not recommend to anyone!
1, hotel was not paradise! Room on 8th floor had a fab view & was fairly clean but a few areas of the room & rest of hotel needed a spruce up.
2, staff were all lovely, esp on reception.
3, food was luke warm & repetitive. Always ran out of cutlery & hated the plastic cups in the bar.
4, bit of a rip off as waterpark entry free but had to pay for drinks in there. Pool in there was freezing too & no sunbed mats.
5, main pool was rammed full of kids with no sunbeds available whenever we went down.
5, entertainment area was ok, the animation team worked really hard to put on good shows.
6, amusement arcade, bowling, crazy golf, bungee, bouncy slides, rides all available for kids but was expensive.
7, beach was nice, easy access from hotel but there was a homeless scruffy guy living on the beach who used to wander about & offered us weed in front of our 4 year old! one night we saw him at the entertainment area & a few families felt intimidated. The staff & jet 2 rep were informed of his presence.
8, felt a bit trapped in, as no where else to go, no where to really walk to as the road to Puerto mogan is closed, so taxi one way was ā¬4 but now ā¬20. There is a free bus to playa del cura then you can get another bus to mogan, Puerto rico, maspalomas etc. Buses are cheap, frequent & reliable.
Personally, we wouldn't stay here again but I'm sure it suits some families. It was mid jan & pool area & restaurant & entertainment area wasn't big enough for the amount of guests so I dread to think what school holidays are like.
Mogan is worth a visit as is amadores beach near Puerto Rico. We went out every day on the bus & eat at different restaurants so my bargain week away didn't end up a bargain!
We travelled with jet 2 who I think are fantastic & the hotel rep carl was nice, helpful & informative.
Friendly and helpful staff, well located, good size balcony with a good sea view, good selection of foods at the buffet, but I am struggling for any more!!
Ok, lets get down to the nitty gritty and pull out the negatives:
Room is quite small, the wardrobe was barely hanging on, I have seen thicker paper towels then our curtains which means the room is light when its light outside (I presume they haven't heard of black out curtains!!), no anti-ship bath mat which caused both my wife and daughter to slip in the baths whilst having a shower (the daughter was in tears with a sore arm and bruised ribs), the fridge in the room only works when the key is in the slot to bring the electrics on so is of no use, there is no bottled or glass water provided at all in the hotel, one pillow only for the bed, one towel each (extra charge for additional towels). Well that is the room reviewed.
All inclusive is exceptionally limited if you think you'll nail the drinks. In the bars the cocktails are out of a machine, all drinks are served in plastic or cardboard cups. You can have glass as long as you are willing to pay for your drinks (what is all the about!!), talk about discrimination.
This might seem a little harsh as this is day one but first impressions set the mood for the rest of the week.
