Isla de Gran Canaria Travel Forum

Hi we have booked to go to this hotel and from the reviews i have come across on this site & others its looking ok & im happy with the choice, couple questions just in case anyone has been... we are only going for a week, just for pool & chilling, but anywhere we should try & visit & worth hiring a car or going on a rep tour?? (dont like them that much really) I went to gran canaria many years ago & saw the dunes so we will go there one day as think only a short walk or shuttle bus away.

Also, if you have been - any recommendations on which floor to perhaps request? higher one perhaps? thanks a lot. Jane

Hey there,

just got back from canaria, it was mind blowing. I stayed at the ac hotel very central. Nice rooms
party by night chill by day, thats the local motto.
Donno where ur hotel is as there are planty.
Enjoy ur trip.

I have been to Gran Canaria last year. Personally, I really like to walk and enjoy the nature when I am on holiday and there are some tips for hikes on my page.

Something I really liked was the Caldera de Bandama, a very nice crater that you can visit. There's more info about it here:

Of course, there are many more tips in the travel guide:

I also don't like the tours and recommend to rent a car...

Cheers

Hi thanks guys, i will def be looking forward to the chilling part of the day not so sure about the evenings, as my clubbing all night days are a bit past me now!! (well nearly!)

Thanks for links & I will look both up & yes car hire beats the tour bus anyday i agree. I like to see the natural beauty of places too so will read up on your link.

Thanks again. Jane :)
