Paradisus by Melia Gran Canaria

Lovely hotel - upgraded to the reserve to allow a peaceful time (we prefer no kids to feel relaxed) and this allowed that! Would recommend this if you are going in school holidays. Staff all so friendly, rooms beautiful - we ended up upgrading to a junior suite ocean view (and it was absolutely perfect for my wife and I. Thank you to the Director of Sales and team at Melia for sorting out the accommodation for the wedding as we were travelling for a friends wedding.

We’ve just got home after a wonderful week at Paradisus by Meliá, Gran Canaria. As anxious first time parents, nervous about travelling with a 15 week old baby, our nerves were quickly put to rest as soon as we arrived. The staff at the hotel were so welcoming and had everything we needed to hand too, including a baby bath, travel cot, and bottle sterilising machine (it saved us packing more things!) As well as beautiful clean rooms and an all round stunning hotel, we are also both vegan and were well catered for. The guest experience team and waiting staff did everything they could to make sure we were well fed for the week, which we were, a little too much if anything! There are however, a few things that would have been nice. • Drinks service at the pool, to save us going up to the bar every time. • Better sea view in the premium ocean view bedrooms (we were on the second floor, so palm trees and the hotel grounds were blocking the sea) • More creativity when it came to our meals. Although the chefs provided us with most things we asked for, some dishes could have been better. For example, we asked for tofu bao buns, we which got, but it would have been nice if they added some grated carrot, spring onions, even sauce. It very much felt like we had to request our food for the week, but it would have been nice to have some of the chefs recommendations on occasions too! Apart from that, I would whole heartedly recommend staying at this hotel and we look forward to visiting again in the future.

A lovely hotel. Its main strength is the quality of staff. Virtually everyone employed there is cheerful, friendly and delightful and this gives the hotel a great atmosphere. It has very attractive grounds leading down to the San Augustin beach and is very tastefully equipped and decorated. Food is good, with a wide choice of dining options along with the main restaurant, which is self-service. Other choices are variable. We particularly enjoyed the Italian Mascalzone and La Paseta. Our least favourite was Kanna, where, exceptionally, the service was brusque rather than accommodating. Evening entertainment was very low key, mainly in the Viba Bar, most people opting to sit out on the terrace. The bands performing were typical of the peripatetic groups and artists touring the Canaries, some of them very good. We felt there was a lack of a showcase for them as they were sometimes performing to an almost empty room. The extra for Reserve accommodation is worthwhile, with a quieter, but much smaller pool and a quiet lounge. There was never a problem bagging a sunbed and staff bringing out cocktails, fruit and ice creams was a big plus.

Fabulous stay. Booked 2 week holiday with a Reserve Premium Double room with Sea views. In my opinion Reserve upgrade was well worth it. The Help yourself Bar in your Reserve lounge with sandwiches, snacks and drinks, including spirits, all available 11-6 daily. Balinese beds and loungers were readily available. Food was generally very good, apart from "Lemon Fish" which wasn't for us. All the others were great, even the buffet was always full of options from pre-prepared stuff, or show cooking daily. Very comfy beds, everywhere was spotlessly clean 24 hours z day. Overall all the staff were lovely and all were willing to he'll in any way needed. Only slight issue was the last day when we needed to be out the room by 12 noon with an airport pickup at 7pm. The room to get ready in is quite literally a shower room, and you only get 30 mins to get sorted. No options were given for late check out, and the room is really only for 1 person at time as there is no room for your luggage if there are 2 or more of you. Other than that would highly recommend

One of the best hotels I have been too, alongside on of the best hospitality services and staff!! This hotel is stunning with beautiful interior and the food is delicious with soo much choice. Such a calm, beautiful hotel! Lovely pools, great food especially the snacks and restaurants by the pool, we went all inclusive and I can not wait to come back to this hotel. Such a pleasant stay and the weather was beautiful. The snack bar quinoa salad soo delicious!

Stayed here for a week. Lovely hotel, very clean. Staff were really nice. There was plenty of good food in the buffet hall, you can also book different restaurants in the hotel that are included in the all inclusive but book them before you leave as they are limited to how many can book for each night.
