The hype
Families love the animation team and pools, but couples often find it too chaotic and noisy.

Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Excellent value for an all-inclusive in Gran Canaria
- Massive pool complex with separate zones for kids and adults
- Free shuttle makes the 15-minute walk to the beach optional
Snel Overzicht: It’s basically a beached cruise ship—crowded, loud, and endless buffets, but undeniably fun if you lean into the chaos.
Beoordeeld door @our__turtonlife: I stayed here with my family and the room setup was genius. The kids had their own tent and toys, which gave us so much peace. The splash park was perfect for the little ones and the evening shows were actually fun.

Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
7.5
- Housekeeping: Daily cleaning is reliable, but often rushed. Floors are swept but corners may be dusty.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean surfaces, but older grout lines show wear and occasional drain odors are reported.
- Maintenance: The hotel is aging; expect scuffed walls, chipped furniture, and elevators that rattle.
- Linens & towels: Towels are thin and scratchy. Bedding is clean but basic poly-blend sheets.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh, but hallways can smell of damp or stale food; lower floors struggle with drain smells.
