“Excellent would go again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2009

We stayed at the Dunas Suites and found the Staff & facilities to be warm, friendly and efficient, Animation team were fantastic with all age groups and made for a fun and enjoyable holiday for all. We were all inclusive which was great value. A wide selection of good quality food available served in buffet style restuarant. If you like your food hot my tips would be get to the restuarant when it first opens, wait for the food being freshly cooked by chefs at the service counters or eat salad. We all had a great holiday meeting many nice people of various nationalities & look forward to returning soon.

“Fantastic place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2009

First of all i alway read other peoples reviews, but please don't believe anyone that has put bad reviews about this hotel as it is lovely.
I have just returned from this hotel and it was much better than some 5 star hotels i have stayed in. We went on a last min deal with alfa rooms the best price for rooms i could find. The hotel is not much to look at from the front but when you check in the staff are so lovely and helpful, we were then taken to our suite through beautiful grounds, the suites are very spacious and just lovely ours was round the pool area which was great for our 2 boys aged 10yrs.
We booked all inclusive which was much more than we expected, the food was exellent lots of choice to suit everyone and the resturant manager was brilliant, he made everyone feel very welcome.
The complex is very large with lots of swimming pools, some of which were heated as it was there winter season, the beach is about 10min walk, but we stayed in the complex as it was so nice we didn't bother to go.
Entertainment is not bad they had a couple of shows on that were ok same as anywhere else i have stayed.
All in all we enjoyed our stay here very much and would recommend it to all ages. I didn't want to leave!!

“An absolute disgrace”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2009
3
people found this review helpful

As an experienced traveller i can honestly say that this establishment plumbed new depths of misery. The disgusting rooms - smelly, damp, cockroach and cat infested - were matched only by the "don't give a damn attitude" of the staff. We arrived after dark, but our room was across an unlit and uneven courtyard, with open swimming pool lurking in the blackness - the receptionist" waved her arms and indicated the general direction, then left us to it. When we finally stumbled into our room, we were preceded by a mangy cat (one of many); at least the chase to evict the cat gave us some entertainment, as the TV didn't work. Unfortunately, neither did the air conditioning. The large cockroaches proved harder to evict, but at least they didn't bite - unlike something in the bed in the night. The evening meal followed the same low standard. The restaurant was dirty, full of uncleared tables and more cats. We struggled to get a drink, but when the casual waitress finally brought something, it turned out to be two cups of undiluted orange squash. The food was abysmal.
Having survived to night, accompanied by the scuttling of the cockroaches and the nibbling of the other night creatures, we emerged weary but full of anticipation as we had a 10.30 appointment with the Thomas Cook Rep. He was eminently slappable! He was totally useless, his only suggestion was that we either paid 700 or 1100 euros to upgrade to 4.5 star or 5 star hotels, or go online and book a flight home.
We couldn't bear to stay, nor to pay any more cash to Thomas Cook, so we moved out to the Maspalomas Princess, under our own steam, and had a great holiday thereafter.

Be warned; this is by no means a 4 star hotel, indeed I wouldn't give it a single star!

Dear LindamacHighlands,
we were really amazed to read in your review, that the beginning of your holiday in our resort was like a nightmare to you. As you suddenly disappeared from our hotel without giving us any reason or checking out properly, we had no idea that your expectations were not satisfied at all. As the previous and the next guests in the same room you occupied did not ask for a room change or mention any problem with it, we can not find a reasonable explanation for your extremely sensitive impressions. The food in our restaurant is generally very much appreciated. You surely made a bad experience but we really regret not to have got the chance to help you with another room or with any other kind of assistance in order for your holiday to turn into a very pleasant one.... We thank you anyway for your review and the communication herewith of what happened.

“What a fabulous place to stay like a calm tropical oasis”

Just spent one week here with husband and two kids, age 9 and 6 years. Had a wonderful stay, fantastic winter sun and nice furnishings. Food was great with plenty of variety. Walked to beach on couple of occasions, takes about 15 minutes and is a comfortable stroll along quiet scenic road. I would recommend the Dunas suites and Villas to anyone as its great not to be stuck in a concrete white washed hotel, where you have to live and sleep in the same room. Would definately stay here again!!!

“good hotel for relaxing holiday”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2009

person found this review helpful

We travelled with a 5 yr old and a 16 month old. From the outset we felt really safe with our toddler as there were no balconies, the rooms are quite big and there is space to roam. The pools were very good - the water was not too cold and our 5 yr old was able to swim all day. The animation team were excellent and deserve a special mention. Location was good as it is close to sand dunes, beach and also meloneras resort. COurtesy bus was good - especially the driver who was very helpful!
On a negative note the all inclusive was not very flexible - for instance cava and baileys were excluded from the menu and the times that all inclusive was available were a bit limited (pool side bar stopped serving all inclusive at 2 ish and you had to pay for a snack or go hungry until evening meal). Also never tasted juice at breakfast that was soo horrible!! if the hotel could sort the all inclusive part it would be a very good hotel
