" Gran Canaria is a great destination... "

Gran Canaria is a great destination for all ages and this is why we booked this holiday. We were a party of 4 adults and 3 children, ages, 14, 13 and 9.

The reception staff were extremely helpfull and spoke very good English and accomodated our every request. Thank you.

Rooms were of a very good size and they were cleaned daily and to a good standard.

Food in the restaurant was excellant and varied, with food available at the pool snack bars, ( from 11.00 - 4.00) suitable for all of our party.

Ice creams were available from the outside bar and no limit was set on how many were asked for. All bar staff work extremely hard on the pool bars and the selection of drinks is excellant also.

The entertainment was the main reason for the score of 8 out of 10. The daytime enterntainment was very limited, (and not particularly in English) you had to really hunt it out, and the evening entertainment was inside!!!! The outside entertainment - A duo who played each night in a 'summer house' with a tamborine and keyboard, were not really disco!! and not really sure what?

Most guests are Dutch but this was fine as most speak English, so not a problem.

The curtesy bus to the beach was excellant and always on time and they local shops and bars were also good value and within easy walking distance of the hotel.

" the overall holiday itself was very... "

the overall holiday itself was very good, the place playa de ingles was lovely, a place you could go to live. the hotel, i would not go back to unless i went in a big group as this hotel is definatley dutch based. there was not 1 english person there in our 1st week, just a bunch of ignorant staring dutch people. the food was not very nice at all and being all inclusive we were very dissapointed as for 2weeks i lived on chips and bread rolls for my tea. if you decide to go all inclusive definatley check out the steaks cookd on a hot stone they are beautiful. the pool area is gorgous as with the overall view of the hotel.rooms are clean and the maid on the 2nd floor is a darling, she tidied every single thing up in our room every day. you can get any drink from the bar inc smirnof in the all incl wich we have never found at any hotel befor. if you like a woman drowning out the tune of titanic with a tambourine and a man playin the keyboard this is the hotel with the entertainment for you!it was pathetic.that was a downfall on the hotel. thank fully in the 2nd week sum scottish and english arrived and our 2 weeks got better. i would go bak to this hotel but in a large lively group because the hotel itself was lovely. xx ages 19 and 20

" Brilliant hotel. Very clean and... "

Brilliant hotel. Very clean and spacious.the food was lovely with so much choice. It is the nicest food we have ever had abroad.The staff were very helpfull and the reception staff spoke very good english.The wellness centre was very relaxing and we visited this on several occasions. The only problem we found was that there were many german and dutch guests at the hotel and my son who is 16 was looking around for company of his own age but unfortunately he did not meet anybody else who spoke english. I think that they could improve on the evening entertainment on the terrace because it did get very repetitive by the end of two weeks.The location was very central and we would definately reurn to this hotel again after we have lost all the weight we put on during the holiday!!!

" I really enjoyed my stay in this... "

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. We travelled with the My Travel team who were willing to help whenever possible. The hotel was clean and well equiped with all a family would need. I, normally when I go on holiday find myself dusting about the place but there was no need to here as it the cleaniness amonst the staff/ rooms etc were far above what any four star hotel would be. The food during the stay was brilliant. My family and I was not sure if we would eat all our meals in the hotel but ended up doing so because they were an absoulute delight. There were a variety of dishes to consume each day and we never had the same dish more than once. I would recommend this hotel to any families with teenage children. My sons met some wonderful friends whilst in the hotel and are still in contact two months later. Gran Canaria as a place is wonderful. The landscapre and climate is one of the best that my family and I have experienced. We have already booked our May term holiday for Gran Canaria staying in the same hotel and I expect we will be booking for the summer months also. I would give this hotel 5* for all aspects and would recommend this hotel and Gran Canaria as a place to anyone. Absolutely superb!

" Writing this review from the free... "

Writing this review from the free internet access at the Eugenia Victoria! So that’s a good start. We’ve had a splendid week in 28 degree September sunshine.

In common with others, our niggles are only minor - but with plenty of hot water at all times of the day or night, comfortable beds and clean sheets changed regularly and with spacious rooms - we’re happily relaxed before heading back.

So, the niggles? Hotel a bit jaded around the edges (would have a higher star rating if it were given a bit of modernisation), sleeping area is darkly sinister, restaurant staff seem to be there for the money and a bit android.In fact, no coffee at dinner was another niggle, as was the repetitiveness of the menu - but then again we simply chose to eat out, and away from the dinner crush on occasion. Yes, mostly Dutch, Germans and Spanish - but we’re in a foreign country!

Yes, the evening entertainment was crass (I just didn’t get the Dutch miming contest?), but nip into a nearby hotel and see the Platters Revisited (excellent) or down to the Roma at the beach for Elvis every night (also excellent). Oh, and don’t avoid the drag shows either - I found myself enjoying that more than my workmates might be comfortable with!

Reception staff were very good and helpful from our original welcome to our departure, offering us a late check out room at no extra cost. Special mention for the absolutely superb spa - this alone would take us back here - the best Spanish one in a hotel that we’ve come across.

" Hotel was very good and clean. The... "

Hotel was very good and clean. The Reception staff were very helpful. The rooms are very spacious and are very clean. However, we arrived at 1am in the morning and the temperature was 38 degrees - due to a storm coming in from the Sahara, and there was only a ceiling fan which was definitely not sufficient. We feel that we could have given the hotel 8/10 if there was air conditioning in it.

The food was very good, lots of choice - we would suggest you upgrade to All Inclusive as we did when we got to the hotel - well worth it when you have two children with you. However, a bit disappointing when some people were NOT All Inclusive and were not being charged for drinks etc - especially when we had paid extra for the upgrade.

The pool area was very clean and well maintained. It was great to see the hotel staff removing towels off sunbeds if they had not been used within an hour of putting towels out. The towels were removed and taken back to the Reception desk. This was a good way of stopping people hogging the beds. A very good holiday but the entertainment needs addressing as outside it was a combination of two men and a couple singing the same songs every night - a little boring.

We had a great holiday and would definitely go back to the hotel - but could do with thinking about air conditioning in the rooms.

" I think our stay at the Eugenia... "

I think our stay at the Eugenia Victoria was one of our best holidays yet.

When arriving we were met by pleasant receptionist who explained where to go also what time breakfast was.

The room was very clean very spacious. The hotel also provided a bus to and from beach.

Entertainment was also very good, varied every night with children’s hour at 7pm daily.

It really is a very good hotel to go, if considering going to Gran Canaria.

" Fab! We are so pleased, we have... "

Fab! We are so pleased, we have booked another 2 weeks for this August 6th, 12 nights, so if any English families going, would be great to hook up.

Hotel itself, very well maintained, could not believe it is only a 3 star! Food was exceptional, caters well for all, chef does come out and cook steaks/chicken/pork in front of you so you know its fresh and hot!!

All inclusive you can have wine beer water etc, and the desserts are to die for, good job there is a pool and wellness centre to burn those calories off,.

As with any multinational hotel, yes there are German’s and Dutch...and its free for all, they do have a policy of not pre slapping a towel on the sunbeds, but quite frankly, there are spaces left, and as a true Brit, we do sunbathe all day, so most Europeans do go in, so you can change seats...but it’s all great fun...

Entertainment I found very good, lots fire eating, dancing acrobats, though as we were there 2 weeks we saw it twice, kids night is much like most hotels, kiddie dancing, karaoke, etc... but there’s enough 4 every 1, big fun fair 5 min walk to left of hotel, water park, camel sanctuary, sand dunes, boat trips...it goes on.

This is by far one of our very best holidays, and we are so excited about going...we met many English families and got very drunk most nights, but hey...hair of the dog sorted that out LOL

We saw 2 cockroaches, which my son stamped on...and every 1 fell about laughing, staff are amazing, friendly, bear in mind there working 16 + hours, and always have the time of day for you, recommended highly...anyone that goes, should be very happy...oh...suggest u get a taxi.. From airport, cheaper, quicker and yr unpacked down in bar before coach load arrives...it’s about 40euros, have paid 25 before...just shop around.

" Just come back from a girlie holiday... "

Just come back from a girlie holiday staying at this hotel. We had a fabulous time and thought the hotel was worth the money.

We stayed there on a half board basis but we were going up to get drinks and the staff weren’t charging us - bonus!

The wellness centre was wonderful especially went it was over cast in the morning.

We didn’t stay in the hotel on an evening but we heard the music whilst getting ready to go out and it was German and Dutch based. The German and Dutch were very rude and stare as if you can’t see that they are looking at you, and try to walk through you.

The reception staff were very helpful but restaurant staff didn’t speak much. The swimming pool and gardens are kept very clean and tidy and the sun loungers were very comfortable especially on the top deck.

The restaurant was very clean but by the end of the week we were a bit fed up with the combinations of the food and glad we didn’t have to put up with it for two weeks.

The Germans certainly lived up to their reputation with regards to the sunbeds, towels were on the beds from 6.50am onwards, but there was a sign up saying it wasn’t allowed.

The rooms were very well equipped and spacious, maybe a bit dated but very clean, and tidy and maid made the bed every day and clean towels if you needed them.

Lovely views of the hotel grounds from every room, all in all this hotel was lovely to stay at as long as you don’t mind rude Germans, that was the only thing we didn’t like.

" Our first visit to grand canary for 1... "

Our first visit to grand canary for 1 week from 2/10/2006, first impressions of this hotel was pretty good, reception and check in was quick and pleasant, as this was also our first time for all inclusive I was a bit disappointed with lack of information of what we do or where we go.

On arriving at our rooms these were clean but basic disappointed that we only had a ceiling fan and no air conditioning, temp average for the week was 33c topping 38c one day, when I asked the manager why no air con his answer was " it's winter", this was very unbearable at night.

Like other reviews the hotel was full of Germans and Dutch people at times I found this very over powering.

There is 1 main restaurant which served breakfast, lunch and dinner which up to 2 days before we were coming home was clean, food was good, some nights better than others
Until we saw cockroaches around the desert area put us off somewhat, to the staff it did not seam a problem, they just carried on doing their job.

There was a pool bar which was good served light snacks during the afternoon, there is another large bar in the grounds which also serves food this we found was the best food
On the complex but it was only available between 13.00hrs and 15.00hrs.

Gardens were very nice clean and tidy well kept, this was where the evening entertainment was, nothing special but two people banging out the same songs every night of the week got a bit boring, more chairs and tables needed in this area, there was some over shows going on in the hotel but the stage was so small you could not get near it.

Most of the staff were pleasant there was the odd one or two that would not give you the time of day but I suppose you get that anywhere.

Pool area was very good a good children’s pool is also there. The thing I did find very strange the hotel allowed dogs in the rooms and around the pool, on one occasion we saw a person putting a towel in the pool and wipe her dog with it, she done this on 3 occasions very unhygienic.

I gave this an overall rating of 7 I think if they addressed the points I have pointed out I probably would have given a 9.

" We have just come back from spending... "

We have just come back from spending Christmas in this great hotel. I have to say that I don't quite understand why this is a 3 star and not a 4 star.

Rooms are spacious consisting of a separate sleeping area with 2 large comfortable single beds, a bathroom with a small bath with shower (and constant hot water). The living area has a comfy wicker type sofa and chair, a table and 2 dining type chairs. A large balcony with table and chairs overlook the pool and gardens.

TV programs in English were CNN, BBC World, Sky News, Sky Movies 1. There is also a fridge, a safe (10 euros deposit and 15 euros charge)There is also piped music. Plenty of storage space too.

I would recommend asking for a room above the 5th floor. The up side is the views are wonderful (we had views of the sea to the left and the hills to the right)The down side is the wait for the lifts (4 fairly small lifts).

Lets deal with this German issue! YES, there are lots of Germans (and Dutch and Spanish) but I have to say that it made no difference whatsoever in any service given by the staff.

We stayed half board and the food was outstanding. I really cannot understand how anyone can complain. There was such a variety available....
e.g Breakfast - bacon, 3 types of sausage, fried eggs, 2 types of scrambled egg, 3 and 5 minute boiled eggs(yes there was a choice!)5 cereals, dried fruit and nuts, sliced cheeses and meat, salad, onions, mushrooms, sliced potatoes, omelettes, pancakes, 4 types of sliced bread, morning rolls, 5 fruit juices, fresh fruit, choice of sweet pastries or croissants....Get the idea!

Dinner was just as impressive with a nightly choice of several fish, beef and pork dishes (lamb, rabbit and veal too) Vegetarians had a massive choice too. Each night there were three themed dishes from a country (China, Peru, Britain, Germany etc)
To work off the calories (I'm not going to say quite how much weight I put on over the 2 weeks I was there) there is a well equipped gym. The swimming pool is deep and long (cleaned daily and regularly checked too) There is a shallow children’s pool as well. The Vital Wellness centre is well worth a visit. You will get a free visit for 2 hours to check it out. Hot pool with jet streams, Jacuzzi, 2 saunas, relaxing room, massage....lovely.

Each day there is a list of activities happening in the hotel. These will range from fitness in the gym, water polo, archery, tennis, pool, table tennis etc. At lunch on the terrace there is usually a dance troupe/ music group and in the evenings on the terrace a singer. In the bar there is the nightly entertainment too (magician, dance etc)

I know I've gone on a bit but there is so much to recommend here.

English centre (Gran Chaparral) 3 minutes walk
Yumbo centre 10 minutes walk max
Bella vista centre 10 minutes walk
beach 20 walk

Taxis plentiful and cheap (regulated and metered so no chance of being ripped off)

Cash machines all over the place.

" This is a nice hotel but I would not... "

This is a nice hotel but I would not say it should be a 4 star like we heard before we went. There is the usual fight for the sunbeds and if you are not up and down by the pool by 8.00am you have got no chance! The food gets very boring by the end of your stay, and not very much to choose from.

The hotel gives you a chance to go all inclusive whilst you are there which we did and it is only 15 euros per day which is worth it if you are going to stay in the hotel alot, plus you seem to get treated a lot better by the staff.

Entertainment at night is ok but it is good as good as it is made out to be in the brochures.

I would recommend the hotel the rooms are very big and clean and the maids come everyday. The hotel is not that close to the beach but there is a free bus that comes to the hotel. Close to all the nightlife too but not too close that you cannot get away from it. <br>

This hotel was gorgeous. It has everything you need. Good food good sport at the pool it even has an underground spa.

The only thing that was disappointing was the night entertainment it was the same nearly every night and mostly the guests are German and Dutch not very much English there.

They cater mainly for these not much choice of food for the English.
We were woken up early in morning due to work going on in the corridors they were replastering.

The town were the hotel is based there is not much activity around but the beach is lovely and there is a free bus from the hotel and back again.

Hotel is very clean and friendly. Rooms are clean and spacious, all staff can speak basic to good english. Food is good, entertainment is fantastic at night within the hotel. <br><br>
Activities like football, volleyball, darts, water polo, crazy golf etc. every day around the pool. Hotel is mostly English, Dutch, Belgian and a few Germans, but I found all to be friendly.<br><br>
Happy Hour twice every night at the hotel bar where all drinks are 2 for 1. We really enjoyed this holiday and are seriously considering going back this year. <br>
