Gran Amadores Apartments

"Please, please read this review before booking to stay here. We booked with Tui to stay here, room only last week. We knew there was no air conditioning, only room fans but we're not prepared for what we met upon arrival last Monday evening. The apartment block sits up against the rock cliff sandwiched between two higher appartment blocks. Each apartment is long and thin lounge at the front overlooking the pools, kitchen and bathroom in the middle and bedroom at the rear close to the cliff with the only windows opening toward the cliff. The result - air cannot circulate and the apartment , in particular the bedroom is boiling!! The old free standing fan barely moves the hot air. The shower had very low pressure. The old fridge was warm inside. Upon contacting Tui the next morning we were told it would take 48 hours + to move us .....on a weeks holiday! We took it upon ourselves to move privately that first morning at our expense. If you look at recent 5 star reviews as we did you will see upon close inspection that all contributors only began writing reviews this year and their writing ( text) is suspiciously similar! Please draw your own conclusions. Tui should not have this property on their 'books' Gran Amadores is a property that is tired with old worn fixtures and fittings in a position that without any air conditioning cannot circulate air. You could become ill staying in such heat where the bedrooms are so stuffy and hot."

"Stayed here with my wife before I go into hospital for a knee replacement. Down side was the spar shop outside closed for a refit ( not hotels fault ) but had to travel out if you wanted to get a good shop in .saying that we ate out every evening so didn't bother us could of done with aircon but fans in the room... plus side was we had our own personal sunbeds with premier rooms . Plenty of sunbeds around the pools so there wouldn't be issue getting one .beds were comfortable enough. Staff very friendly. One member if the bar staff was called stupid by a rude guest because his English was not great ( perhaps the guest needs to stay and holiday in England) poor man could not apologise enough even though it wasn't his fault. Chef very good plenty of food served ."

"Our stay at Gran Amadores was a very pleasant experience and a good way to enjoy Gran Canaria in peace. I liked being able to organize our days at our own pace, go out to explore the island, and return later to rest and disconnect a little. Sometimes, those little moments of calm are the ones you appreciate most during vacation, and here we were able to enjoy them. We take away a nice memory of the stay and the satisfaction of having chosen a place that fit well with our plans."
