On the 7th of January 20011, when I was sleeping at the 'Catarina' Hotel Gran Caneria, someone came into the room during the night and stole several items. When I contacted the reception to inform them of this incident and show them that it was not possible to bolt the... more

The hotel Catarina was a good hotel. Rooms were a great size for 3, and everything throughout the hotel was spotless. The pool area is not large, but a really usable space, with lots of garden terraces for sunbathing. The pool is certainly big enough for a decent swim,... more

We booked our holiday via a travel agent and then looked at the reviews. We arrived late in the evening but there was a cold buffet available. Check in was painless and staff cheerful and attentive. The breakfast was the same throughout, but a wide choice of hot or cold was... more

We chose the Catarina because of the high rating on the reviews and we were not disappointed. My requirements of a good hotel are Cleanliness: The hotel is beautifully clean (I have a cockroach phobia). I only saw 2 'roaches, neither were in the room/bathroom. The room... more

Enjoyed Hotel Cararina
My wife and I stayed here for 2 weeks. It was clean and comfortable, the food was excellent and the staff were very helpful and pleasant. There was a bus about every hour to take the guests to the beach. It was quiet at night so it was easy to sleep. The only criticism was that the Germans reserved sun loungers as usual but no one enforced the 'no reservation of sunbeds' rules. i would go back to this hotel. more
Loved The Hotel It-self :)
1st Person Comment: The hotel was extreamly beautiful, naturals inside are so great, was very big greeny area's, the staff there was very lovely and friendly, also helpful as well, the service was great, food was so tasty and the open buffets was so rich everyday with different kind of foods, the entertainment program was very up-normaly good, everything was nice there, and i decided that Catarina Hotel will be always my hotel to reserve my stay in Canary Island. 2nd Person Comment: I would like to thank the staff for... more
GREAT hotel for the price!
If you are looking for a low key, very respectable hotel without a huge pricetag, Hotel Catarina is perfect. I am in my 20's and was vactioning from November 30 to December 3 with my mom. The hotel and our rooms were very clean (especially considering how sandy we were after coming back from the dunes). The breakfast was great-- almost too many choices! The happy hour deals were a nice plus, too. The staff was very helpful and friendly towards us. Only downside I found of the hotel was the older, early to bed atmosphere. Could have... more
Management let it down
Throughout our holiday we very well catered for in terms of excellent food, accomadation and pool area. I found MANAGEMENT let the hotel down !!! I left my mobile phone in my room and realised once we got back. When getting in touch with the hotel they were un co-operative. They said they had my phone and would only attempt to release it once I sent them 40 euros for a so called trip my phone took to the airport to find me. I refused and feel that for the money you pay for 4 star accomadation they would have some courtesy to send it out. My... more
Not Shocking, honestly !
We're a couple in our early 40s who stayed here during the half term week. If you have booked this hotel and are concerned by negative reviews, don't be. We had a lovely relaxing week and found this hotel to be fine. I accept the comments that it is probably more 3 star than 4. We've stayed in Barcelo hotels in the Canaries before which are 4 star and they do have the edge on this one. But... The room was spacious and clean, ours was on the ground floor of an end wing and very quiet, (the odd grizzle from children above and to the... more
Lovely family holiday
We spent a week in the Catarina in October 07 and really enjoyed ourselves. The room was big and spotlessly clean, and the staff were really friendly and helpful throughout, especially when we had to take our son to hospital. For those people who said the food was a bit of the same - which hotel were you in? ! There was a great range of food available every night - meat, fish, pasta, salad, just about everything you could want. The only possible downside is that the hotel is generally very busy, even at socalled quiet times of... more
Prepare to be shocked
We visited this hotel from Oct 6th to 20th. Our 1st night we eventually got to sleep at 7am in the morning and were woken at 7.45 by people talking and laughing as they went to breakfast. Our room 167 was like being in the middle of the runway, the blocks are in a line joined together at the 1st floor, we were in the 2nd block from reception and the lift was at the end of the block, people walked by us to reach the next block and also to use the lift to go up to the higher 5 floors. After the late nighters had finished coming in the new... more
This Hotel is OK
We stayed at this hotel from Oct 1st for one week.. The first impression was not great, but the room was large and we had a pool view. The Place is big and has large gardens and 3 pools one for the adults and 2 for the kids. There is a lifeguard oin duty at the main pools. There were plenty of sun loungers and they even had free cushions to lay on top of the beds. There was kids entertainment all day and the adults could regularly join in with other organised events. The gardens are well maintained and there are sun loungers... more
Great Hotel ! take the Negative Reviews with a big pinch of salt
We are family of 4 who stayed 2nd & 3rd week of August. Am completely staggered by the negative comments of other reviewers. hotel was spotlessly clean ! Staff very friendly. food well above average. Night time entertainment catered mostly for kids and just about any hotel you go to will only have limited entertainment. you make the entertainment yourselves by being polite & friendly with folk. as for the unhelpful staff. We arrived first day and i was not happy with the location of our ground floor rooms ( 2 x rooms - one for our... more
Not a good review
First i have to say that it was the second time to this hotel in 3 years and i was very disappointed from the what the hotel has turned to.The rooms are very big and the cleaning is very good i have a room at the 5th floor and the view was fantastic at the maspalomas and the dunes but it was also a pool view room and i had very very much noise at noon and at night until 2 o'clock at midnight from Germans who where sitting at the pool bar talking loud and laughing and they didn't care that people above were sleaping and nobody from the hotel... more
