“Quiet hotel in a decent location”

Hotel is quite modern, clean and bright. Studio rooms are fairly spacious with the usual kitchen facilities.

Hotel is quite modern, clean and bright. Studio rooms are fairly spacious with the usual kitchen facilities. We went self catering it's been a long time since we did, so I forgot to take washing up liquid, cloth etc a teatowel was provided but nothing else. The beds were very quite comfy surprisingly as they were the thinest mattresses and pillows I've ever came across. Rooms were cleaned regularly but not every day. No air con, had to hire a fan cost 10e plus 10e deposit, safe also had to be paid for as did WiFi which we didn't purchase as our phone networks are fine to use at no extra cost, but anyone needing to buy WiFi I was told by someone that it costs per gadget and only works in your room so no point. The pool area is a nice quiet relaxing place there was some music played but not very loud you could barely hear it at times. We didn't eat at the hotel as it seemed quite expensive compared to outside. Speaking to guests who were HB most complained about food quality so glad we went SC. The location was fine in walking distance to the commercial centre for eating, drinking and shopping. Taxi back for less than 5e, a few mins walk down to the beach via a lot of steps which you do have to walk back up, not great for anyone with walking difficulties, but pretty much all of Puerto Rico is like that, all banks and steps.

“Needs air con !”

The hotel itself is nice although many hidden extra charges ,no air con and being bit every night by mozzies as I have to leave balcony doors open but to actually top this off , Is looking out of my balcony across the road and on top of the Irish bar is a pidgeon trap on top of their roof !!!!!

The hotel itself is nice although many hidden extra charges ,no air con and being bit every night by mozzies as I have to leave balcony doors open but to actually top this off , Is looking out of my balcony across the road and on top of the Irish bar is a pidgeon trap on top of their roof !!!!! Once the bird is In it can't escape !!! How barbaric is that, Questioned the guy serving in the Irish bar ,told me some fake story about them being controlled ,this is not what I want to be seeing on my holiday !!!!! This has to be reported .THIS IS NOT LEGAL IN GRAN CANARIA I MIGHT ADD .

I have just returned from a lovely holiday in GC. It was our first time staying at Punta del rey and were pleased with the price for an adults only resort. - The views are stunning and it was lovely watching the sun rise above the hilltops - The pool was much larger than what it appears on the photos - Plenty of sun loungers - Breakfast was perfectly fine (had read a few negative comments) The best sausages I’ve ever come across abroad that tasted like English ones - A calm atmosphere around the pool - a shop a couple of minutes along the same road; you don’t need to walk down all those steps!! - slept very well each night. I had read a few negative comments about the beds and yes, they’re on the firmer side but I guess it’s down to personal preference Overall it was a lovely experience and we would return again but there are a couple of things to note; - if you have high expectations you will be disappointed, this is definitely a budget friendly hotel and if you go in with that attitude you will be pleased with what you get - there is no air conditioning in the standard rooms. Not a huge issue, most people keep their balcony door open at night as there isn’t too much noise in the morning, however wouldn’t recommend visiting during the peak of summer for this reason - a lot of extra charges for things that come as standard in other hotels such as extra pillows, tv remote, safe, a fan, hairdryer etc however we coped fine without any of these. - hotel is located at the top of a hill. There are about 150 steps down to the beach (okay going down but a killer going up) we often decided to walk the long way around! - 15 minute walk from the local shopping centre and restaurants but taxis cost around €4 if you prefer not to walk - a lot of noise can be heard at times from people walking down the corridor or using the bathroom due to the types of slatted windows. This is by no means a negative review, I would return to this hotel. If the rooms had air con I’d be giving a 4 star rating!
