An excellent stay
An outstanding hotel for every kind of escape. From the very first minute to the very last. Hospitality at its best
A GEM OF A GIND
Recently spent a week here. The hotel is very striking from the outside with well maintained gardens, statues and artwork. Inside the main foyer there are beautiful chandeliers and fresh flowers. The hotel is lovely and clean throughout. The pool area is immaculate and has a pool bar. All the staff were helpful snd friendly and very accommodating. It's a short taxi ride to where all the bars, shops and restaurants are. The hotels restaurants serve beautiful and reasonably priced food also. The only criticism i have is we had an afternoon tea and the sandwich portions were very poor with little filling and the spa area could do with some TLC. Ceiling needs painting and there are cracks that need filling. Overall a BEAUTIFUL hotel and would highly recommend this 👌 to anyone who's looking for a bit of luxury.

Excellent Service
A superb experience Staff helpful and friendly. Do feel that Half Board evening options were limited; but 1890 restaurant menu options were excellent.
Short city break.
We booked this hotel for a short city trip and because it is close to the Metropole Swimming center, where daughter took part in the National Swimming Championship. We greatly enjoyed our stay here, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the colonial style is beautiful and we really enjoyed the facilities.
Classy like a Belmond but half the price
You simply must stay here. We enjoyed a week in this classy grande dame of a hotel wandering the marble halls, sipping cava as we chatted to the lovely reception ladies, listening to piano music from the lobby as we relaxed on our balcony, resting on comfy sunbeds by the ground floor and rooftop pools and marvelling at the world's best breakfast buffet as friendly staff delivered fresh juice and silver coffee pots It really felt like Belmond levels of luxury for half the price Some grumble about the location but Las Palmas is a big city so you cannot be close to Las Caneras and the old town at once. We loved being by the marina for boat spotting and nice restaurants and enjoyed the hotel having its own tourist bus stop outside. City buses and taxis were plentiful and cheap and we even ventured on a Global bus on the main highway as they link to other cities. Getting around us easy here. Taxi was 40 euros from the airport but Global bus stop nearby at Juan XXIII Street doing an airport run for under 3 euros each. Amazing. Avis offer a couple of cars dropped at the hotel but as we wanted an automatic with more choice we picked one up for a couple of days from Cicar and ventured south to Maspalomas and Mogan on their easy main highway. We parked under the hotel and could charge the room for 20 euros parking per night. My only small confusion was in room drinks. We had water the first night but never again. The mini bar was cheap so we drank water and Cokes but these were never restocked. I couldn't work out why as tap water is desalinated so not recommended for the uninitiated But yes, overall so impressed. Wish I was sitting there now watching the baby turtles in the pond at breakfast with my pot of strong coffee and a churro! Thank you Santa Catalina
