Don Gregory by Dunas - Adults Only

Muy bueno

We had a wonderful holiday here in Gran Canaria. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Particular mention goes to Andrew from the entertainment team - we thoroughly enjoyed the beach yoga and infinity poolside Pilates with Andrew! There’s a great choice of food to suit all tastes and the all inclusive wine is most enjoyable. The evening entertainment is varied and fun.

This was a return visit for us to this hotel, so that says something about the place I guess. We chose Bed and Breakfast only so cannot comment on the Dinner element or the 'All Inclusive' aspect. Breakfast was plentiful though it felt like there was less variation in food offered each day over the course of the week than on our previous visit. The hotel location is ideal, on the beach with direct access to it and plenty of local restaurants nearby. Swimming Pools and Sun-beds are clean and the Pool Attendants/Lifeguards were always willing to assist with guests, in particular those with less mobility. Though the walk space between sunbeds seemed a bit tight compared to before, maybe a few more beds have been squeezed in! The hotel is spotlessly clean throughout, with cleaning staff working well into the evening in the public areas. Staff, whether Restaurant, Bar or Room Service were friendly, engaging and helpful throughout our stay ... this wasn't necessarily the case though with the Reception Staff who, whilst professional and responded to all queries, could perhaps show a little more engagement and interest (like all other staff at the hotel). Rooms are clean, bright and spacious. All rooms look out on to the sea, though the lower level rooms appeared to have some restricted views. Our room, as a Premium Room, had a nice touch with a gift of a bottle of Cava in the fridge for us on our arrival, however the fridge was not plugged in, so a warm bottle of Cava wasn't the greatest of gifts. My issue with this is not the warm Cava but that nobody noticed that the fridge was not working. Maybe Staff are too rushed to check/notice that something isn't working? The one particular issue that we would make was the practice of the daytime 'Animation' staff going around guests and getting them to complete Reviews there and then, including occasionally taking the guests phone to complete the review themselves! I don't know whether they are contracted in staff or hotel staff but it places the integrity of these reviews in question. All in all we enjoyed our stay at the Don Gregory by Dunas Hotel and would certainly look to return at some stage.
