Visited the Gran Canaria Princess...
8 / 10
Jun 2004, Miss J Riley

Visited the Gran Canaria Princess this summer for 2 weeks and really enjoyed my time there.
The rooms were lovely although quite basic considering this was a 4 star hotel. The corridors and landings were quite dark with little lighting and dark mahogany wood. However the air conditioning was very reliable and could be left on all day not like some hotels which only switch it on an hour a day! The rooms were very clean and the maid service very good and friendly.
The main downfall being the restaurant. Each night there was a 15 to 20 minute wait in a queue to be seated and the menu was not very varied. The service in the restaurant was very slow as it seemed to be under staffed. One night we finished our meal before we got the drinks we had ordered!!
The pool area was my favourite part with lovely gardens and plenty of sun beds. This was a good holiday as the hotel was in a great location for all the main pubs, clubs and restaurants.
I have been to better 4 star hotels though and would probably only give this one a 3 star.

We had read reviews before we went.
Re: queuing for dinner at the hotel. This was not a problem at all. We were always seated within minutes. (Busy times are between 8-8.30pm). Excellent waiter service in bar, very friendly but still professional.
The piano bar has a lovely relaxing atmosphere and because the hotel is in a great location it is 5 min walk away to the Kasbar centre if you want a more lively night. Food is excellent.
Rooms clean and air-conditioned. Bus and taxi service available straight outside hotel. Only thing we were disappointed in was that people were allowed to reserve sun beds around the pool. The heated pool is great. Staff very helpful. An excellent hotel in an excellent resort will definitely go again.
Would definitely recommend Thomson platinum (especially hotel check in service). Maspolomas is worth a visit in the day, near the lighthouse (Faro). Bars/rests nice - one with singer/saxophone player, which creates a great atmosphere. Didn’t want to leave.

Hotel excellent. Rooms were fantastic size with air conditioning, nicely decorated and very clean. Staff friendly in hotel but waiter behind pool bar had a chip on his shoulder. Food ok, I have had better but no major complaints. Pools fab, they have one heated pool but the other is freezing (I chose the heated one!!!!) both are large and clean. Shame about the weather as it was very cloudy.

Entertainment at night largely catered for the older guests so we had to find alternatives. There are lots of shopping centres around the hotel, with a choice of bars. A 15 min walk to the beach, which was really nice with lots of water sports. I would recommend going on the camels it was a good laugh and a good day out.

I have just come back from a fantastic holiday at the Gran Canaria Princess Hotel. There were a group of 6 of us and we were really impressed with location and the cleanliness of the hotel. Staff were very friendly and the thomson reps were great. We booked a night out with thomson reps for garbos gold. It was fantastic better than any night I have had in a london show.
There is a queueing system at the Gran Canaria Princess Hotel and when we first arrived we were not impressed but I have to admit as the week went on it was clear to all of us that this was actually quite a good system. They show you to your table and we never had to queue for more than 5 minutes as they were very fast. The food is excellent with a great choice.
Go this hotel and visit mogan and puerto rico all really nice places. I am at this minute trying to rebook for may!!!!!
