Marina Bayview Gran Canaria - Adults Only

I stayed here for 6 nights in August before being moved to their sister hotel Marina Suites due to an issue with my room. To begin with, everything about the hotel including the rooms, restaurant, reception, and all other communal areas were spotless and kept clean however one negative was that rooms were not cleaned every day, only 5 days a week (no cleaning on Thursdays and Sundays). Marina Bayview hosts a range of facilities meaning you have everything you need from sun beds & a lovely pool as well as a jacuzzi, gym, restaurant & bar, courtesy room, and an onsite shop (located in reception) allowing you to purchase beverages and snacks. The location is one of the many highlights of Marina Bayview, offering lovely views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Puerto Rico harbour. The hotel is also in close proximity to local restaurants and shops including a Hiper-Dino Express and restaurants but there is a little bit of a treck with the stairs you have to take up and down but after a while you do get used to it. For me it wasn’t a problem however if you have mobility issues or are elderly than do take note. With that said, taxis are available to cheaply get up and down for elderly people and for those with mobility problems and I’m sure that reception would have no problem calling one for you. Speaking of reception, Jorge & Nacho made me feel welcome, were very friendly and professional especially when dealing with the issue with our room promptly and quickly gave us options for a solution, the problem was quickly solved with ease. Considering the other staff at the hotel, they were also very friendly especially the ladies working at breakfast. At the restaurant, breakfast and lunch are offered every day, however there is no dinner available in the evening onsite at night apart from Fridays where they have their very own BBQ night. Throughout the day, there is a full bar available including sodas, wines, smoothies, and cocktails. All the food at breakfast, lunch, and on BBQ night was fresh, tasty and delicious with a large variety to choose from. The ratio of portion size to quality to price was very good. I do highly recommend both the BBQ night which has live music and breakfast which even offers complimentary cava to make your own mimosas! The breakfast set us up for the day with so much on offer including made to order omelettes, eggs, breakfast meats such as bacon and sausages, beans, a variety of pastries, cakes, breads, series and continental breakfast items (cold cheeses and meats). The chefs here are very talented and certainly know how to cook great tasting food! The bbq night and lunch offered during the day is very good value for money, and considering what you pay to stay in this hotel, you get quality accommodation with lovely views. The rooms were modern and stylish, with powerful air conditioning, a kitchenette, microwave and mini fridge, 2 TV’s, balcony with seats. However on my balcony and the reason we got moved was because lots of be

The staff were amazing we asked to upgrade our room which they did the next day. The view is beautiful. We would definitely come back. They do paella on a Tuesday round the pool area which was lovely worth a try. It’s about 20 minutes walk to the centre it’s a nice walk.

What can I say but just wow!!!! This was our 4th stay at this little gem of a hotel, but this time we upgraded to the Villa as this was a 60th birthday treat for my husband from my daughter & I. It certainly lived up to every expectation & more, it made our holiday extra special. Breakfast & cocktails 1st class and please do hesitate to book the BBQ evening on a Friday night, it’s so worth the 20 euros. The newly opened restaurant Sidonia behind Marina Bayview is outstanding, food is amazing & a beautiful place to watch the sunset so give it a try as you won’t be disappointed. Special shout out to Barbara for suggesting the Villa upgrade and making our holiday one of the best ever, also Jose and all the team who go above & beyond. We can wait to return to this beautiful hotel soon…
