Gran Canaria Reviews

Gran Canaria is located just off Spain and is part of the Canary Islands. It is the third largest island in the collection and is southeast of Tenerife and northwest from Africa. Warm all year round, it is the summer months when this island really gets buzzy. Truly a place to go if you want a sleep all day, party all night holiday! The ...  Read the complete review

I went to Gran Canaria in August 2006. We stayed in a little place between Puerto Rico & Puerto Morgan called Playa De Los Amadores. It has a man made beach with over 800 meters of sand and sea. And in the sea (when i was there) was a big bouncy sea activity center, with rock climbing, trampolines and a few other bits it ...  Read the complete review

This was to be our last holiday for 2004 and we wanted some sunshine and a relaxing time, to be fair we had not long returned from Sardinia which was fabulous but we did a lot of sightseeing. Last year we visited Malta in December and although the weather was horrendous (floods) we had a fantastic time, all because of the hotel and the Spa ...  Read the complete review

Gran Canaria We like to try different types of accommodation for our holidays. This year we decided on an apart hotel in Gran Canaria. We chose an apartment from the Riu chain attached to a four star hotel. The apartment was well equipped with basic kitchen needs, lounge, bathroom, bedroom and balcony. We wanted to experience the ...  Read the complete review

I have just come back off my holiday to the amazing resort Playa del Ingles. I walked along the Dunes at Maspalomas. I would differently go back there again. There is something for everyone at Gran Canaria for example mini-golf, swimming, go-karting for kids and for others windsurfing, sea fishing, scuba diving, jet skiing, golf, tennis ...  Read the complete review

Gran Canaria is described as a miniature continent because of its amazing variety of landscape. In the north there tends to be more rain and is it lush; the south is dry and barren by comparison, but does get more sunshine. The centre of the island is a cluster of jagged mountains. We stayed in the Sonemar Bungalows in the Sonnenland ...  Read the complete review

I have recently returned from a two week holiday in Gran Canaria, staying in the Hotel Neptuno (read my opinion on the hotel in the relevant section). I stayed in the resort of Playa del Ingles on the south coast on the island. This is the second largest resort in Europe (Benidorm is first) although it did not feel that big when we were there. ...  Read the complete review

The Canary Islands are one of the most popular holiday destinations for English holiday makers, as well as those from the rest of Europe. People are attracted to the fact that sun is guaranteed pretty much all year round and that there is something for everyone, from beaches, to breath taking scenery to a fabulous lively nightlife. There are in ...  Read the complete review

I went to Belito Beach (near Puerto Rico) in June 2001 along with my wife and two kids. First the good things - great weather (30+ every day), nice accomodation (clean, well maintained), good transport (cheap taxis and good bus service), cheap prices (booze and cigarettes are great value, food is quite cheap). The bad things include: the south of ...  Read the complete review

Gran Canaria is a brilliant place to go on holiday, especially in winter, if you are looking for some decent weather away from the UK. It has an all round summer type climate, which means the winter is usually between 70's and 80's and sunny most of the time. The main resorts are all in the south, where you have got Playa Del ...  Read the complete review

The temperature according to the islanders does not fluctuate greatly and their lows are about 18C. While I was there the temperature through the day varied ...  Read the complete review

Having been to Gran Canaria three times recently, I think I can say I have found it very enjoyable and would recommend it. Gran Canaria, along with its capital city Las Palmas, is the capital of the Canary islands. It is the second largest of the islands (although everyone seems to debate about this!) The climate is hot all year ...  Read the complete review

Mention the Canary Islands to anyone; even someone who hasn’t been there and they will probably list the promise of decent weather all year round as a major attraction. Having just spent Easter in Gran Canaria, they wouldn’t be far wrong either. Each day was greeted by clear skies, with temperatures rising to about 30C by lunchtime. ...  Read the complete review

From the air the Island looks nearly round, 1532 square km of truly spectacular ...  Read the complete review

Down the middle of the valley is a huge two storey complex which has over 300 shops, restaurants ...  Read the complete review

I love Gran Canaria, having visited this Island a couple of times now and staying at Peurto Rico I am now wanting to go again, but this time I will probably stay at Playa Del Ingles as I have heard so many good reports about this resort. The Island is so clean and everybody is friendly. There is something for all they have a huge ...  Read the complete review

I've just come back from a honeymoon in Puerto Rico and boy did we have a great time. There's something there for everyone, families with young kids (although if you have children in pushchairs it's best to book into an appartment at the botom of the hill as Puerto Rico appartments are situated along a VERY VERY steep hill, the beach ...  Read the complete review

I visited Gran Canaria 2 years ago. I was there for 2 weeks in September. I had a brilliant time but several things annoyed me about the place, that would tell me not to go back there. We bought a package holiday - never again. We stayed in the Los Salmones apartments near the Irish Centre. They looked nice and had a nice pool, but ...  Read the complete review
