Don Gregory by Dunas, Adults Only

the stay at this hotel was excellent. staff were amazing. so so helpful. we will def recommend and def return

I stayed here for a quick trip after attending a medical conference in Italy. I was quite happy with the hotel. My room was clean and ready when I arrived and comfortable. The view from the balcony Was lovely. The main pool was nice, and an important difference from Caribbean resorts is that any time you could walk up and find a lounge chair compared to making up at the crack of dawn to reserve chairs. The drink service was good, though not quite as attentive as I would have liked. My only concern was that I travelled here with friends/colleagues and one of 5 nights we were having a nice time on the patio outside bar. Another guest screamed at us and threw water off their balcony at us. This was before midnight at an all inclusive resort. Nobody was hurt. But this is completely unacceptable. And when it was raised to the hotel staff we were told that “it’s a quiet hotel” instead of dealing with the problem. Laughing on a patio bar before midnight while on vacation should not be considered inappropriate and the handling was completely wrong.

Lovely room overlooking the sea from which we saw amazing sunsets. We took advantage of the half board with evening buffet. All food was of a high standard. The pool terrace was sheltered from wind, pool was heated and it was a sunny location all day. Lovely walks from the hotel in both directions. They used a company called Anamation, for aqua gym and various other events, all of which were very entertaining . Staff friendly and helpful around the hotel.

There was especially young lady,made mee angry.I explaned -and she wouldn´t understand.I hope she will explane,why.She was the manager,they told mee.She promised to answer,none came to my room to check neither.I got very good service from reception desk,and also after i moved to an apartment.Hope to get explanation for her behave.

Good location. Excellent breakfast. Beautiful beach nearby.

Very nice hotel with view of the ocean from inside the room. Nice to see a full mini-fridge and the first supply of drinks were free. Quiet at night. WiFi worked well. Large shopping center across the street with taxis and bus stops. Breakfast was included, it was quite large and there was plenty food of every type. Asked for a king bed, got doubles. Watch out in the shower, the temperature swings between hot and cold rapidly. No wash cloths or tissues provided. Nothing in English on TV except BBC and CNN.

Perfect mini break. Staff very polite and everything was clean. Would go back

On our third visit we had a wonderful 8 days and was so good as staff were so pleasant and helpful always smiling and there when needed My sister and I enjoyed a restful happy week Patricia and Henrietta

Overall was a good stay. Was a little disappointed that the gymnasium was not open yet as the hotel website had advertised as open. Clean rooms. Great ocean view. Stupid rules about not wearing shorts to dinner, which is just a buffet. Rediulous. Staff is friendly enough but the majority of guests from Europe are a miserable lot. I would recommend this hotel to others.

Some very dark rooms to right of reception very shaded by Palm trees and also ground floor rooms in same wing . 95% of guests elderly

I was very impressed with Dunas Don Gregory. The view from every room is fab overlooking the ocean, with palm trees and sunset visible from our room. The swimming pool and two sun terraces provide for all guests, we prefered the top terrace. But most of all the staff really made the stay very special indeed, they were always friendly and helpful. The waiters were brilliant on New Year's Eve, working tirelessly to ensure everyone was being looked after. The hotel created a very special occasion for New Year, with entertainment, live band as well as complimentary wine throughout the meal. Reception staff were also very helpful. They all seemed to be from the region itself and seemed genuinely to work as a team, as though they'd all been there for a while - creating a very happy ambience in spite of the hotel being quite big. Don't be put off by the horrid shopping centre nearby, which you see when you first arrive: once you're in your room that's not visible at all - and in fact proved useful at times to buy odds and ends. Once in your room, you have the wonderful terrace and ocean view to enjoy! I would love to come back - and just hope that after the refurbishment, the prices don't go up. We thought the rooms were comfortable and clean - in the eyes of some a little dated maybe but didn't bother us - hence the refurb I guess. In summary - wholly recommend this hotel.

All rooms are ocean front. This is one of the few hotels on the island situated directly on a sandy beach. The rooms are spacious. The 8th floor has some rooms that are town house rooms with beautiful views to the ocean from the living room, balcony and bedroom. The pool is heated. You can opt for all inclusive for a reasonable price. We choose breakfast and dinner included to have the afternoon free to tour the island. The dinner offerings varied from day to day. The beach board walk is a well manicured long stretch with shopping and restaurants. A supermarket with reasonable priced snacks is located across the street. The staff is multilingual. The area is safe to walk around day and night time. My only regret is that I could not stay longer. It’s an ideal place for a long holiday.

Excellent hotel on the beach. Great value if taken with half board.

This hotel was just perfect in every way. The staff were fanastic and so nice. The location was perfect and close the beach, walk ways, bars and restaurants also busses and the taxi rank were close to the hotel. Their own restaurent was wonderful and the food was super. The heated swiimming pool and terrace views while having a coffee was just beautiful. Nice piano bar and comfortable rooms with great balconies and again lovely views.

This was our first visit to the canaries? My wife and I are retired and just wanted a quiet week in the sun. The hotel was ideal. Most guests were older, mainly German. The staff couldn't have been nicer, particularly with disabled guests and the food was fabulous. The rooms are a little dated but all have a sea view and have everything we needed. The grounds open on to a promenade with walks in either direction and access to a nice beach. At the back is a large shopping complex with many supermarkets and restaurants. The pool is large, spotless and warm and the pool side bar and restaurant is a delight. We shall return!

Great hotel. Lovely beach. Shops and restaurants opposite hotel.

This hotel needs refurbished ,it may have been four star about 20 years ago but not now.

Friendly hotel staff, a beautiful shady garden together with the proximity of the beach, very comfortable beds and the superb variety of the food all made our stay a very enjoyable one. I would certainly return to Dunas Don Gregory for another holiday.

The location of the Dunas Don Gregory is what attracted us to book this hotel, it is literally on a lovely soft, dark sandy beach which was perfect for a family holiday with a 2 young children. The hotel itself, although dated in some areas, was a pleasant surprise. From various reviews we expected to be the only family but there were plenty of younger couples and families with children of various ages along with the older clientele. Our room was spacious and clean, made up with 2 generous twin beds and 2 put-up beds for the children. We had a small balcony with amazing views of the beach, sea and Maspalomas sand dunes in the distance. The pool was lovely and there were plenty of free sun-loungers throughout the day. We stayed half board which worked out well with the children especially with the first dinner sitting starting at 6:30pm. The breakfast and dinner buffet was great. Dinner included lots of fresh salads, vegetables and selection of fish and meat dishes and plenty of choice for the kids who loved going to get their next course. The waiters in the restaurant were especially lovely to the children even though they were working extremely hard to keep the restaurant running smoothly with the large numbers of people moving through. We enjoyed our mealtimes and certainly didn't feel rushed to leave. The children did enjoy the acrobatic show one evening but be warned the music nights don't finish until 11pm so you may well be hearing the birdy song on a loop!

Went as a single traveller, hotel was fine for short visit. Positives : Clean throughout hotel, lovely location on the promenade. Food adequate choice, reasonable quality. Negatives: Small outside area and lounge area, would probably prefer a larger pool area. Gym was in the basement, smelly with dated equipment and not enough space between machines. All inclusive drinks not replenished, always had to go and ask someone for another glass of wine at dinner. No waiter service around pool or in lounge area. Other guests were mainly over 65 years old, not a negative just an observation. Adequate hotel, not luxurious but clean and comfortable.
