Compare and book 5 Star hotels in Telde, Gran Canaria

"The hotel is supposed to be one of the top hotels in Gran Canaria but is far from being the best. We paid for an ocean front room. Our room was located in the 5th floor of the main building which we thought was a good thing. The balcony door could be open or closed & the noise was the same. The shows started at 10pm and ended at 11pm. Awful noise until 1am. The room temperature can not be controlled by any guest. It is controlled by the property & set to 70o F. We were sweating every night & called the front desk who answered…”we can’t change the temperature for ecological reasons”. The pool service was pitiful. No waiters to attend any pool chairs. If you wanted anything you had to walk to one of the bars, if they were open, & wait forever to get service. The kitchen in all outside bars closed at 4pm even for snack/tapas. And no drinks around any pool bar after 5:45pm. The beach is not hotel front, you have a good walk to get to the sand. You can only get a dry pool towel between 10am and 12pm, they are closed outside those hours. We paid for breakfast included with our stay. One morning we had an early tour and they said they would prepare a breakfast to go. The bag we received left a lot to be desired compared to the breakfast buffet at the hotel. It had a cold sandwich with old bread & fruits that were starting to rot. This is the only hotel were I have stayed and the king bed only had two pillows for 2 people. We had to order two additional pillows. Stay elsewhere!!"

"Amazing stay overall. "

"We were there for two nights,20-22/3, the breakfast was excellent, swimming pools lovely and room was great on the first night. The second night we couldn’t sleep most of the night as it was raining heavily and water was dripping through the balcony window onto the floor making a sound even when I placed three large towels on the floor. In the morning when we were leaving I spoke to Stephanie, customer relations, and told her we couldn’t sleep: she said we could have changed rooms, I replied that it was 2.00 in the night and we were also leaving that morning, also that we would not be returning to the island.She said she would look into the matter, I also showed her a video taken during the night. Later I asked her if the hotel could pay for our taxi into town as compensation,she said it was not possible as they were a different company. Later I received her email saying that the weather had affected many other businesses and that I could get an upgrade if I booked again. She clearly did not listen to me when I said we would not be returning ever again. I feel that this is unacceptable, especially as this was an expensive hotel, the customer service was not up to standard. I have used Hotels .com for many years and never complained, but in this instance I think that some compensation is required "

"Breakfast was fabulous and the hotel has great amenities. The Michelin restaurants were world class but the general restaurant (1890) was ok but there was too big a difference between the quality of the restaurants. The biggest issue was the main bar where the service in the evening was very poor with a 25 min wait to get a drink. Many people were unhappy about this. Overall the hotel is very nice but be prepared for the bar.."

"Had a perfect week's stay. All the staff were so friendly, helpful, and made us feel incredibly welcome. Breakfast was fantastic - we loved the pancakes, fresh fruit, and eggs. The pools are beautiful and as the main lazy river winds around the beautifully planted grounds there's always somewhere fairly private and quiet to lay out. The bars are very fairly priced, with great drinks. Housekeeping quick and great attention to detail. Little details like the access to shower room after you've checked out are so helpful! We don't want to leave! "
