Having read through some of these reviews, I wonder where these people have been staying. It certainly isn't the Don Miguel Hotel I visit on a regular basis. Over the years I have stayed there six or seven times. The permanant staff, most of whom have been there for years... more

Jul 2011, Disappointed

Staff were rude and unhelpful rooms were not clean. The service in the restaurant was awful. The food was terrible. Worst holiday we have ever had. Other guests we spoke to said the same thing. This hotel should not have any star rating.

Sep 2010, More than Happy

I have stayed five times at the Don Miguel. It is a very pleasant, clean and friendly hotel. I see the same staff on each visit, and they could not be more helpful and friendly. The food is acceptable, good and plentiful. The small detractions are a lack of air conditioning... more

Hotel dining room staff were very rude and unhelpful. The meals were at set times and guests were shouted at if they were late. The food was of poor standard and service was also very poor. Hotel catered mainly for the Germans. Hotel should be rated 2 star.

We flew British Airways and the flights were great each way, with full complementary food and drink service. Flights were very good, and as we had chosen dates and times of course they suited us. On arrival we got a taxi to and from the hotel, about a half hour away which... more

Riu Don Miguel is a pleasant hotel, well located, nicely decorated, and spotlessly clean. I think 3 * is right on the money for this hotel, the buffet breakfast is very much aimed at the German clientele, many of whom choose to stay here all year round. Buffet dinner is... more

We’ve stayed with the Riu chain before and the service and cleanliness was second to none. We thought we'd risk a 3* this time as most of the reviews were great and they all said it should be a 4*. I haven’t any major bad views on this hotel...after reading other... more

A very pleasant hotel. The hotel has an official rating of three stars. Most tour operators have it in there books as a 4 star. We found the staff very helpful, the hotel was very clean through out, and the food was better than any 3 star hotels I have stayed in before. On... more

The Don Miguel is a 3 star hotel in the centre of Playa del Ingles. It is approximately 1.5 Km from the beach but a courtesy coach runs from the hotel several times of day. The main shopping centre, The Yumbo (a bit of a concrete jungle) is less than 200metres away. This... more

Its tourism for the Teutonic Hordes- but really quite a nice hotel
I arrived here somewhat dishevelled having been bounced out of the Liberty Apartments next door through overbooking. I thought all the staff were charming. Urbane receptionists full of calming encouragement & cheery chamber maids always up for a quick 'Hola!' The clean room was pretty good with a strong power shower & whilst not all the rooms had great views none overlooked the busy intersection outside. My double bed was in a room which might have been a bit small for 2 but for 1 was fine. The balcony was functional but only rooms... more
excellent staff
we stayed at the don miguel in feb staff was the best we ever seen in a hotel nothing was to much for them,it was very clean food was the best we have had in a long time in a hotel was excellent,was to quiet round the pool could of done with a bit of music, hotel is 5 min walk from yumbo centre for shopping and entertainment, would go back and stay again. more
Good value for money, deserves 4* rating
I spent a week at the Don Miguel, January 2006. It is a spotlessly clean hotel, it was busy but well staffed and despite the number of guests it was quiet at night times and I had no problems sleeping because of noise. The food was good and choices never ran out. There was a choice of continental or cooked breakfast. We took half board option and were pleased we did as the evening meals were also good and varied. The dining room was smart, (men need to wear long trousers). The hotel is at a busy roundabout and there is some traffic noise,... more
Always a great place to stay
I have stayed in the hotel several time over the last 10 years and have always found both it and the staff to be first class. It is clean and bright, great food and very helpful staff who seem to enjoy helping you. It's also just across the road from the Yumbo which is a great help more
3 Star Hotel
Stayed last week of October and had fantastic weather - up to 30* some days. The hotel is extremely clean with fantastic staff and reasonable food. It is well positioned for visiting the various bars (night life) being situated in the middle of the town on a busy main road (being near a para medic centre sirens were prominent during the day on our stay) It is 1.5km from the nearest beach but you can catch the hotel courtesy bus. We found the lack of daytime activities and other amenities (hairdryer, kettle etc) which feature... more
Great Hotel
We stayed in Riu D. Miguel for a week in September. The rooms are not very big , but everything else is great. People are super friendly, the food is great ( nice breakfasts and dinners) and the hotel has animation every night with singers, dance, circo... it is very well located in Tirajana Av. and do rent a car and go to Playa de Amadores. ( forget Playa DEL iNGLES). more
Christmas and New Year Stay at the Don Miguel
Two of us booked christmas and new year at the Riu Don Miguel this year. We found it to be an extremely friendly hotel. The staff could not be faulted for their helpfullness and friendliness - even after losing the key for the safe. The rooms were clean and the cleaning staff were excellent and friendly. We found the food to be of a very good and high standard and was constantly filled as the portions at the self service was becoming diminished. We enjoyed our stay so much so that we have decided not only to spend christmas and... more
Fantastic Hotel
I cannot believe this hotel is not a 5 star. I have stayed here probably 10 times over the past few years and found the staff, food, and quality of room all first class. The hotel is ideally situated so that everything you need (shops, bars etc..) are only a short walk away. I have recommended this hotel to a number of people over the years and they have all thoroughly enoyed their time in the Don Miguel. Try it, you won't be disppointed, all other hotels seem inferior after staying here. more
Will go back
Overall impressions: Very helpful, friendly staff Spotless condition of the hotel. Food, impossible to find fault. Road noise if room situated on the outside.
OK for a break
It was our first time in the Grand Canaries and we were just in search of the sun (April 2002), the first couple of days were warm but very windy, but then it calmed down. The resort, unbeknown to us before our arrival, is full of gays and transvestites, but it wasn't a problem and we were left alone I am lad to say. The hotel is comfortable and within a ten minute walk from the beach. There are plenty of places close by for a drink or to eat and in general terms the locals were pretty friendly. The food at the hotel was OK and there was... more
