Had a wonderful 10 days here, ill start with the positives: kitchen amenities are great and all new appliances which made us happy to have dinners at home a few nights, there is a roof top pool with an additional child height separate pool which was fab and then the beach club which is a quick walk from the 2 bedroom apartment in which we stayed. The beach club is incredible, the infinity pool and shallow ends are great for adults and children with the jacuzzi seats too. Table service drinks were a bonus too, you cant use it at the weekend but if you plan your holiday to do other things it isnt a problem. The restaurant in the evening was nice too and Allesandro was such a friendly waiter, however a little bit pricey and my partner who ordered prawn skewers had only one and a tiny portion of salad and chips. We did return on our last night and it was much better. Cement factory was quite loud one evening but generally didn’t interfere with our stay, and the building work wasnt near our apartment so again didn’t bother us. The spa supermarket on site is good for things like milk and bread but we decided it wasnt stocked well enough to make proper dinners so walked to the hiper dino which is about 15 minutes away. On to the Negatives: I found the man at reception to be a bit frosty on arrival and we had continuous issues with our tv and wifi, we had someone come to look once and just out up with it after that. Was frustrating in the evening trying to watch a film and it keeping buffering though. The walk to Aguineguin isnt the most pleasant walking through a dusty carpark/shanty area and having to go past a sewage dump, however once past it the town is nice. Id you walk through the town and a bit further you will reach a cut off area of a beach with nice sand and fish that swim in it, which was a highlight of my holiday! We got a glass bottom boat to Puerto Rico from Aguineguin too which was a nice day out. A very enjoyable holiday!

“Hotel lovely / location awful / the pool does not belong to the hotel”

Don't be fooled by the photos of the pool, this was the reason we chose the hotel but this pool doesn't belong to the hotel & you can only use this pool depending on availability & on a weekend there is a charge.

Don't be fooled by the photos of the pool, this was the reason we chose the hotel but this pool doesn't belong to the hotel & you can only use this pool depending on availability & on a weekend there is a charge. We had to pay 50 Euros for one sunbed as they told us all the single & lower priced beds were all booked - there were 22 single "empty' beds all day which we could have used for a lower cost. ( photos attached of the empty sunbeds we weren't allowed to use as they wanted us to pay the higher charge ) The photos also are cleverly positioned to not include the cement factory on one side of the hotel & builders yard / slum on the other. There were no nice restaurants close to the hotel so we had to get taxis every night. The hotel itself was nice & clean, and once you were in the beach club ( separately owned ) the pool was lovely. Just added expense & hassle we didn't plan for.

“Modern accommodation, relaxed, friendly staff but lacks soul”

We stayed in a 2 bed duplex with our two teenage children. Nice and spacious, and excellent terrace area with 4 sun beds and table and chairs for 4-6 people. TVs in bedrooms and lounge.

We stayed in a 2 bed duplex with our two teenage children. Nice and spacious, and excellent terrace area with 4 sun beds and table and chairs for 4-6 people. TVs in bedrooms and lounge. Good kitchen, with hob, dishwasher and large fridge BUT NO OVEN! After reading reviews, I thought we could get pizzas cooked at Spar but their oven had broken (and had been for quite a while apparently!). Great homemade ice creams at the spa and not too expensive. The showers are the best we’ve had, powerful and always enough warm water. Maid service daily to empty bins and make beds. We recommend the breakfast, we purchased for the week when we arrived (got 20% discount for the week, which I think works out slightly cheaper than booking it through Jet2). Plenty on offer, from 8-10:30 each day. The onsite Spar is good. We however walked to Hyperdino in Arguineguin a mile away to stock up and got a taxi back for 7 euros (taxi rank outside Hyperdino; NB. As there were no taxis in the rank after about 20 mins we phoned the hotel, who wouldn’t phone for a taxi to bring us back like we have at other hotels!) The hotel itself lacks soul! No bar, restaurant, centre. Nice central garden area that in my opinion is crying out for a feature/seating/quiet bar or cafe. Roof top pool is fine, but small and not allowed balls or inflatables (I presume because it’s high up), plenty of sun beds and room by the pool with umbrellas if you ask for them Monday to Friday as I’m guessing most people are at the beach club then. The Perchel beach club set up is a little odd but okay once you get used to the slightly odd arrangement. It’s open from 11am until 8pm. Free entry for hotel guests Monday to Friday. Children loved the pool and there was always space for us. You can’t take any food or drinks in though, not even water. Good facilities there with showers, which were useful for our check-out day and late flight home. The local area was my main disappointment. It’s not pretty at all, the beaches are not particularly nice. Arguineguin feels a little run down, but we did find a few nice restaurants with great seafood and friendly staff. There’s also the obvious eye saw of the cement factory. We went to Maspalomas beach for a day. We got taxis for 23 euros each way but there are also buses. Well worth it, as it’s a really good beach. I’m a runner, and whilst you can usually run pretty much anyway, there aren’t many routes here due to roads etc and the main run along the seafront is okay but by no means a draw! The gym is good, and always quiet when I went there, with plenty of equipment and the usually cardio machines including 2 treadmills. Great if you love surfing, seems to be a real surfers hot spot with locals there everyday and a surf hire place by the beach club. Overall a nice hotel, good breakfast but lack of atmosphere and local area disappointing.
