We recently stayed at Paradisus Gran Canaria for four nights as two couples and had a fabulous experience from start to finish.
From the moment we arrived and were welcomed with a glass of cava, we instantly felt relaxed. The hotel is beautifully maintained with a calm, peaceful atmosphere, and the staff were consistently friendly, attentive and genuinely welcoming throughout our stay.
We had upgraded to The Reserve, which gave us access to an adults-only pool, premium drinks and a separate breakfast area, which we especially enjoyed each morning. Although we didn’t manage to take full advantage of everything included (due to only staying four nights), it definitely added an extra level of comfort and exclusivity.
Our room was spacious, clean and very comfortable, and the food across the restaurants we tried was delicious with great quality and variety.
One of the things that really stood out was the range of activities available. My husband loved the watercolour workshop, and I attended a glass workshop where I came away with a gorgeous pendant, such a special keepsake. The stargazing experience was also a highlight, seeing Jupiter clearly, including its orange bands and four moons.
The pool was a nice temperature, and with the beach directly in front of the hotel, it was ideal for morning walks.
I really appreciated the attention to detail and overall guest experience. We came home feeling properly rested and would happily recommend Paradisus Gran Canaria to anyone looking for a relaxing, high-quality stay.
I’ve also shared more photos and highlights from our stay over on Instagram (@zoeolivertravel) if anyone wants to see more.

Great family stay. Well appointed rooms, if not the biggest (premium room, ocean front - having a cot and extra luggage for a less than 2 year old did not help). Great to get a sea view room as the alternative is overlooking the road, albeit with some scenery behind.
Plenty of sunbeds, great pools, right on the beach too. I expect we benefitted from visiting just after February half-term, as I imagine it gets busy in peak times.
Food and drink quality high, including the buffet, which really was a notch or two above what I was expecting. Seeing lobster there on our first night really gave a good first impression.
Activities, great for kids, with separate adult areas available for those who want to pay for that. They seemed busier to be honest, but were not an option for us. Outdoor cinema night, kids cinema too, yoga sessions, PT sessions, aqua aerobics, astronomy sessions, etc etc.
Easy from the airport, pharmacy and even a small hospital pretty much opposite the hotel if required. They are the only things you'd need to leave the hotel for!
I thoroughly recommend staying.

We had the most wonderful stay at Paradisus Gran Canaria this February and genuinely cannot recommend it highly enough.
From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel like VIPs. We became Red Circle members in October last year, and after this trip we are so glad we did – the level of attention, care and personalised service throughout our stay was exceptional.
The resort itself is kept to an incredibly high standard. Everything from the grounds to the facilities and rooms was immaculate, and you can really see the pride the team takes in maintaining such a beautiful environment.
One of the absolute highlights of our stay was the candle-lit dinner. The food was outstanding and the service was flawless – it was a truly special experience and one we will remember for a long time.
We would also like to give a very special mention to Daniel at The Reserve beach, who looked after us with service that went above and beyond. His attention to detail, warmth and professionalism made our beach days extra special.
Another big thank you to Gustavo, who took great care of us with all things Circle. He was incredibly helpful, attentive and ensured everything ran smoothly throughout our stay.
Overall, this was a flawless experience from start to finish. Exceptional service, beautiful surroundings and unforgettable moments – we are already looking forward to returning.

Our third visit to this hotel as a family of three generations. In four words THE SERVICE IS EXTRAORDINARY.
A very visible, welcoming and supportive General Manager, Marta , backed up by every staff member from rooms to pools to restaurants to bars. The buffet is bright, spacious and caters to every generation and taste. They won't be surprised to see us back! Thank you each and every member of the team. The best holiday hotel for its sector in the market that I have stayed in over the past 50 years.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel and it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive, making us feel valued and well looked after throughout our stay.
The service was outstanding — every request was handled promptly and professionally, and the team consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. It’s clear they take great pride in creating a comfortable and relaxing experience for their guests.
The food was another highlight. Each meal was beautifully presented and full of flavour, with a great variety of options to suit different tastes. Breakfast was especially impressive, offering fresh, high-quality choices that set a wonderful tone for the day.
Overall, this hotel delivers excellence across service, dining, and hospitality. We will definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
