Playa del Sol

TripAdvisor Review
Spain, Europe
Playa del Ingles

Located in the heart of the popular resort of Playa del Inglés, this hotel is just 1.5 km walk from the beach. Its guests will enjoy direct access to the Yumbo shopping centre, which offers a range of restaurants, bars and nightlife options, perfect for anyone who is looking towards an exciting vacation in Gran Canaria. The famous sand dunes are just a 500 m drive away and reaching the airport will take another 2 km, but guests will be well-served by the public transport that stops in the immediate vicinity. The complex itself boasts a set of modern apartments opening to balconies overlooking either the pool or the well-maintained gardens. Guests can relax by the side of the outdoor pool and those looking for little extra pampering can treat themselves to a massage or an aqua gym session.

Fantastic stay

Just had another fantastic stay here, as usual great location, good price, fantastic staff, immaculately clean, absolutely loved staying here, the onsite shop, the washing & drying machines, the rooftop sun terrace, great pool, it’s really sad that it’s now closed for a year for a renovation, cant wait to go back again when it’s open and sporting air conditioning and hopefully uk tv Chanel’s

End of an era

So the end of an era !

We stayed for two weeks knowing the place is closing for total refurbishment. Perhaps we didn’t expect the dismantling to start a week before our holiday ended - we ending up the sole occupants of our floor with daily gutting of each unit taking place.

Apart from that - we have great memories of the wonderful staff and location of this place and hope to return when it re emerges in its new guise.

Good Luck to all the team as the work begins

Closing down ghost town

Stayed here many times and always enjoyed it. This time a few issues, we stayed in a room above the fish restaurant on one end and on several occasions got the cooking smells in our room. The TV never worked properly, you had stand right in front of the TV to turn it on or off, also BBC channel,the only English channel that wasn't news only worked intermittently. Despite maintenance guys looking at it the issue was never resolved, obviously due to the refurb. Usually we were always able to get a late check out due to late flights home but this time nobody was able to have this perk as once u leave each room is being gutted Currently I would guess about half the rooms are empty.....it's very quiet!

Great hotel

Fantastic central hotel, we booked a premium room for one week, was greeted by Oliver on reception who went through everything. The room was large, clean, with everything you need. Pool area is great with plenty of sun-beds, pool is pleasant and great pool bar with free bingo everyday with prizes.

The roof top nudist area is perfect for stripping and enjoying the sun with comfortable sun-beds and the breeze to keep you cool.

We are gutted this hotel is closing for a year as we can’t wait to get back but look forward to see what the refurb brings.
