Dream Hotel Gran Tacande

1 reader found this review helpful

Just come back from Gran Tacande on an 11-day holiday. This is my ninth visit to Tenerife and this has to be the best hotel I have stayed in, all the staff are very friendly couldn't do enough to help.
Rooms were fantastic very spacious and clean, maid service every day sometimes twice.
The pool was excellent, no fighting for any sun loungers, didn't want to leave the complex to go to the beach (1 min walk) away as the surroundings was beautiful.
We only stayed bed & breakfast but no complaints, allot of variety of fresh food available and a chef would cook specialities for breakfast.
The resort has built up a great deal since my last visit with a variety of restaurants and bars to cater for all ages. The reviews I’ve read do not do this hotel or it's staff any justice I’ve been to many 5 star hotels in the past and this is just as good if not better, cant wait to go back.

By no stretch of the imagination is this a five star hotel. The service in the breakfast restaurant was poor with dirty coffee pots and queues to obtain poorly cooked fried eggs.
The restaurant was so poor we did not think about eating there at other times of the day.
On arrival there were insufficient towels in the room and no drinking glasses available.
On a more positive note when shortfalls were pointed out they were rectified quickly.

Fantastic hotel, spacious bedrooms, plenty of loungers although why do the English (not Germans) have to put down towels and go away for the day.
Food plentiful reasonable variety but did continental style. Rooftop adult only pool & bathing areas. Down sides evening shows not great, very quiet resort but great for that get away from it feeling. Hotel only at meal times did you realise it was busy.
It appeared at other times it was half empty as it was so spacious. Overall a good and recommended hotel & resort.

We stayed at this hotel in June this year and it has to be one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at abroad. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely fabulous with an outstanding selection from all over the world.
The hotel is situated very close to the famous Playa Del Duque Beach in an idyllic location. The rooms were beautiful and the bathrooms were also large and included a Jet Spa shower as well as a bath. The hotel had a full range of facilities including a spa, which is definitely worth a visit as it is a complete "Chill out haven". We highly recommend this five star luxury hotel to other discerning travellers.

Upon booking my first holiday abroad with a friend we decided to go to a hotel somewhere familiar. We had booked the 4 star hotel, Noelia Sur. However upon arriving we discovered that we had been over booked and were being transferred to another hotel, this being Gran Tacande.
We had no idea that this would be a five star hotel, and upon arriving very late at night because our flight was delayed, we were greeted with an overwhelming sense of luxury. The place looked amazing, I mean seriously amazing! Me and my mate Mo were stunned.
We were greeted by the friendliest of staff, who carried our luggage and made us feel most welcome.
Our room also was amazing, with fantastic views and a bathroom with 2 showers and two sinks (simple things amuse simple minds!), but the point I’m trying to make is that Gran Tacande make you feel like the hotel revolves around you.
Breakfast and dinner, the dining room looks like something from a really fancy ship or 1930´s dining room, once again with the friendliest of staff and the tastiest of food - I had caviar!!! Anyway I’ve whittled on enough, the Gran Tacande is amazing (and so is Ricardo, the dining room guy!) and I’ll certainly try and visit again, next time to impress the number one girl in my life!
