We visited this hotel in February takning a 6 month old baby with us. The hotel staff were wonderful, warming baby bottles, making sure we had a highchair, making a fuss of our baby and even remembering her name! May sound silly but little touches like that made our holiday very relaxing.
I've read some of the reviews and some people may find it's location a bit off putting - but we thought that made it perfect for us! You can walk easily to the lively, noisy bit but return to quiet when you need to and be able to sleep!- perhaps we're getting old!
Either way, excellent place and hope to return in the autumn with our other children in tow.

Hi,
Arrived back on Sunday from this brilliant hotel. The staff were lovely, the food was excellent and the rooms were comfortable. There was plenty of entertainment day and night, didn't make it into the disco as its for over 18's only and we have a young daughter. It's a little too far from the beach but as the hotel run a free regular bus service to Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas beach this was not a problem. Plenty of shops and bars near by especially Harry's Bar 2, extremely cheap drinks!! Had a wonderful time and would definately return to this hotel (next year hopefully).

Lovebug.

I visited the hotel in August last year and I was absolutely delighted with it! I stayed half board and did not feel the need to buy lunch most days as I was still full from the tremendous breakfast! Although if I needed to buy food there was an excellent choice of reasonably priced foods available at the bar area situated beside one of the spacious pools.

I shared a room with two other adults and it was definitely big enough, and the shower always had ample hot water.

I never had a problem with getting to the local pubs shops and night clubs as some are about a 15 minute walk away or a 2 euro taxi, however I rarely felt the need to leave the hotel!

The staff were excellent, they provided 5 star entertainment for all ages, and even encouraged the guests to join in! Everything from shuffle board to cabaret!

I would especially like to thank the entertainment team, Vicki, Genie, Giorgio and Marcus for making my holiday so special!

I am returning to Gran Canaria again next year, the only problem for me with the hotel was the price, I found it a tad expensive to stay there!! However I am a student!

If you are looking for a relaxing holiday with all the entertainment you could wish for, go to Barcelo Las Margaritas!

Have only just returned from our holiday and cannot fault the staff, accommodation, food etc etc.We had fabulous weather for the fortnight and myself and my boyfriend couldn't have been happier.The facilities were immaculate, even the pool toilets had a citrus fragrance!The pools were both good but we prefered the quieter one away from all the kids and the food around the pools was cheap and very good.
All the staff were at least bilingual and the reception staff were so helpful. They even ordered us pizza at 1 in the morning!

I went to this hotel in Sept/Oct of 2002 with my boyfriend and was a little disappointed when I first went into our room because it had been decorated in what I can only describe as an attempt at a "modernist" paint scheme with big old paint splodges on the walls and on the bathroom tiles and the bed was (although large) covered in this army style bedding!!!

However that said, I think that was probably the only bad element of the entire holiday... which is pretty good as far as I am concerned. The rest of the hotel, its reception and bar were gorgeous and the service and staff 5 star quality (great food especially if you like big breakfasts) and the entertainment was great and this is coming from someone who generally isn't into the whole "Caberet" stuff but we used to watch the shows (that finished about 11pm or so and then go out into town afterwards).

Daytime entertainment was free and pretty good and you could get as involved as much as you like... lots of fun trying to beat the very competitive Germans.

So all-in-all I would definitely recommend going - although one final point... if you are a bit of a 'stay in your room and not go out much' sort of person, be prepared that the tv in the rooms are set to European channels only which can get a little frustrating listening to film and chart run downs in German, Spanish, Italian.....etc etc... although I think there was Sky News ... whoppee!

Go...!

Got moved here in Feb 2002 from the extremely awful Las Jacarandas, what a god send!!

Hotel lovely, vv clean, our room has its own sitting room as well, friendly staff, food out of this world. If only it wasn't in Spain and was in Greece!

Definately recommend, lovely weather although way too far from a beach.
