Club Paraiso Aparthotel

Had a short break here as I was there for my sister’s wedding. She got married on the beach next to the hotel and the day was just perfect.
This was mainly due to the hotel staff as they bent over backwards to make the day so special.
The hotel is situated close to the centre of Playa Paraiso and there you can find lots of bars and restaurants. Never been to the Canary Islands before but I would definitely go back to this hotel.
The pool area is just amazing, it’s so spacious and clean, and there is always plenty of room to swim when the weather gets too hot.
Really enjoyed it and I hope you will too.

Loved this hotel and resort. This was our second visit! The hotel is close to all amenities (although these are limited) and there is a bus to Playa De Las Americas.
We did not book through a tour operator, so had to make own way to property. Taxi cost about £10!
The pool is spacious, at the hotel, the paella is great and the locals are all really friendly.
We booked through a local tour operator to go to Loro Park (Zoo) which was a great day out and also on a boat trip to see the dolphins. Both ran to schedule and were as expected.
This is not there resort to go to if you want a busy nightlife, more for a peaceful break away.

We booked this holiday late deal ad allocation on arrival. What a wonderful holiday we had. There was myself my husband and our 9 year old granddaughter.
The rooms were clean with a lovely balcony overlooking the sea, boats coming in night and day. Lovely to watch. The only thing I didn’t like was the pool was really, really small, not what I am used to, so we used to use the very large pool in Puerto Rico payable locally, but well worth it. The entertainment in this hotel was 100% thanks to the lovely first choice rep Steve. Who was absolutely magnificent.
We ate out at some lovely restaurants and I would recommend this hotel as a good base for exploring the island. Don’t know what the food is like cause we were self catering , but lovely places to eat out.

After booking this late deal, we were somewhat apprehensive regarding the reviews. However, we were pleasantly surprised on arrival as we expected some old, run down hotel which was in dire need of refurbishment.
Instead, we got a clean, friendly and bearable hotel. Our room was spacious and clean, and we had a large balcony which enabled us to sunbathe on until around half 6 in the evening. The accommodation overall was ok, certainly not unbearable. But for a cheap price, what do you expect?
On site there was no restaurant, but there were many other places you could eat in the resort or in Puerto Rico. Also, there was a Spar at the bottom of the hillside, which supplied all our conveniences at reasonable prices.
Regarding the pool area, it was packed on certain days with people having to lay on the floor to sunbathe! It was definitely a place for the young as some Spanish at the poolside blared out the worst music ever! Yet, it was easy to escape that as there is a beach close by.
Overall, this holiday was a quick getaway, and for the price, was satisfied with what we got. It is true you get what you pay for, so we really can’t complain!

We booked this holiday a week before we were due to fly and were really apprehensive about it after reading some of the reviews on here. We booked it anyway as we found the price to be very good.
On arrival at Las Palmas airport we found the rep and advised him we were collecting a car and wouldn't require our transfer, he said the accommodation was very nice and easy to find and he couldn't have been more right.
Our journey took us about 30 minutes straight down the GC1 and into Playa Del Cura, we noticed there wasn't much to do in our resort but we were expecting a quiet resort.
We arrived at the apartments and were greeted by a friendly receptionist and we were allocated room 2310, which was on the 3rd floor right by the pool, fantastic location.
On arriving into the room we were pleasantly surprised as we had not expected to have a separate bedroom, the room was spacious and clean, what more could we ask for?
Our room was cleaned every other day and we had our towels and bedding changed twice during the week. We hired the safe which was allocated in the room for 15 euros for the week.
We ate at the onsite snack bar most days for our lunch and we thought this was very reasonable.
We visited the Spar shop at the bottom of the hill for our daily essentials (the onsite mini market is only open 0900-1800).
We ate out every evening and found Puerto Mogan perfect, the food here we found was a bit cheaper than in Puerto Rico and on average cost about 35 euros for 2 main course and a couple of drinks each. We ate in Puerto Rico 2 or 3 times and ate around the harbour area as we found the commercial centers a bit too neon and loud again meals were reasonable but we paid about 45 euros for main course and a couple of drinks each.
All in all it was a good cheap week away and I would not hesitate to recommend this resort and accommodation to anyone.

When we booked this holiday, last minute, 36 hours before flying, we did not realise that it was the same aparthotel/resort that we stayed in 7 years previously. We were somewhat disappointed, therefore, when we arrived and realised we had stayed there before. Last time it was an all inclusive holiday over the Christmas period.
However, we enjoyed our week in the sun. If all you want is a base then the apartment is ok, however, our impression was that the bathroom was in dire need of refurbishment, with tiling etc. looking very tired. The kitchen area too needs to be updated. The kettle we had leaked water and had to be kept on the draining board and if we had wanted to eat in, the provision of kitchen equipment, etc. was very sparse.
On arrival at reception from the airport on our first night a young woman was explaining to the reception staff that she had had her handbag stolen and again later in the week we overheard another young female couple complain that their room had been entered and her mobile phone had been taken.
They were absent from the room for approx. 2 hours and had locked the door on their way out. When they got back they unlocked the door to get in and she immediately realised that her phone was no longer where she had left it. It was a brand new phone, purchased two days before the holiday. There was no forced entry and whoever took the phone must have had a key to get in. We had a safe in our room, but these two episodes were a little un-nerving.
The police were informed but the young women were told that there was little they could do. In the space of one week therefore there were two incidences that we knew of and I would therefore warn future holiday makers to be extra careful with their security arrangements.

When we first booked up to go here we read all the reviews and didn’t get the best impression. When we arrived at the resort we were very pleased the place was clean and tidy. We were on the third floor the same floor as the pool which was great as we had the view of the beach right at our door.

We also found the staff at the apartments were really helpful and friendly. The place itself, Playa Del Cura was quiet but peaceful and it was only a 4 euro taxi to Puerto Rico if you were looking for nightlife or a bigger selection of restaurants.
Overall we found it a great week away and would really advise anyone to go there as it is a great place. I would definitely go back.

After reading terrible reviews about Paraiso Club, we were very hesitant about our cheap winter break. Usually we go to 4 Star hotels, so we were a bit worried to say the least, having only read the reviews after booking.
On arrival, we were very pleasantly surprised to say the least.
The staff on reception couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Our room was on the seventh floor. We had a view from our balcony over the beach and the bay, also the small resort of Playa del Cura itself. The room was spotlessly clean, with matching curtains, bed linen etc. It included a TV, kettle, toaster, coffee maker and fridge. The maids came every other day and left clean towels etc.
Although the restaurant was not open while we were there, the poolside bar served excellent breakfasts and snacks during the day. Happy hour was between 3.30 and 4.30 in the afternoon at the poolside bar and 8 p.m. til 9.p.m. at the main bar next to reception.
There was no entertainment, but we were not too bothered by that. The barman, Pedro was very friendly and he gave good measures of what were already cheap drinks. There was a small supermarket next to reception, where you could get most essentials. If you wanted a larger one there was a Spar 5 minutes down the hill, along with a few bars and restaurants. If you wanted to go to Puerto Rico, the buses ran regularly at 1.10 Euro each way, or taxis ordered from reception were 3.50 Euro.
The pool area had plenty of sunbeds, and the pool itself was quite big and very clean, although a bit chilly at this time of year! There was also a children’s separate pool. All in all we had a very enjoyable winter break at the Paraiso Club and would definitely go back for a winter break again!

We found ourselves staying here after having to be transferred from apartments. in Puerto Rico due to accommodation being flooded before we arrived. Although fairly basic we found the room clean with all facilities. You could not ask anymore from one star accommodation.
We found the staff helpful and friendly at all times. The receptionist went out of her way to help us. The room was cleaned and beds made most days with clean towels daily. The pool terrace was cleaned early every morning. It would have been better if the restaurant facilities had been available, only breakfast and snacks at the pool side bar were open. Although we did appreciate it was low season.
The resort itself was nice and peaceful but perfectly ok. The views from our balcony out over the bay were wonderful with full sun on us all day. (something we would not have enjoyed at Puerto Rico as most hotels/apartments. are some way from the bay and only overlook more apartments. on the opposite hillside). Frequent buses and Taxi's to take us into Puerto Rico if we wanted a bit more night life. The walk along the coast to Puerto Rico was a lovely afternoon out.
Overall we could not have asked anymore from a cheap last minute holiday. We were given the option to move back to our original apartments. after two days but decided to stay at Paraiso Club.

We were very happy with our decision and enjoyed a lovely relaxing holiday.
We will definitely consider going back there again.

We booked a late deal/cancellation at these apartments like we have done so in the past and have been satisfied in doing so, but what a disappointment this time.
We arrived at the apartments early evening 31/12/05 and had to go to the local supermarket as the shop on site was closed.
The apartment was filthy it had the floor mopped twice within the week, the beds were never made or changed, the towels were only changed once and then even one of our own went missing. This was reported to the reception and the following day we were informed that despite there being no wind the towel must have flown off the balcony.
The fridge seal was no good and the fridge didn't close properly so anything in the fridge wasn't properly cooled, the cupboard door was hanging off and the bath had a large hole in the top side which was very rusty. There was only one electric point in the kitchen area and one morning this came away from the wall, fortunately this was fixed that day.
The entertainment at the bar was zero every night only loud music from a cd/tape, I requested a brandy and coke with no ice but that request was even denied as the barman said the mixers were warm, and then a full bottle of coke poured into the same glass which is not on, hence that was the final drink in that bar.
The area itself though was very nice, the restaurants and bars within the area were pleasant and the locals friendly. It is on a regular bus route to either Puerto Rice, Playa Del Ingles and Puerto Mogan or if you are energetic then a walk into Puerto Rico is very nice.
Thank heavens for these things to help forget what we were going back to on an evening.
