"Dan's got it wrong it's abora continental we are going too ." We got it wrong once (well one of us did lol) and ended up there a few years ago, in our opinion it's far nicer than the Caterina except for the views and the location, the food and service was better on that particular visit. It's a nice walk but taxis are cheap, we walked in and taxi back and sometimes even walked back. Eden isn't too far over the bridge. | |||

"First morning here. Is the roof terrace strictly nudist? Not sure how I feel about myself being totally nude in such brightness. Just adult only is appealing " No, wear what's comfortable. Bathing costume, bikini or wrap in a towel. You'll soon realise nobody really looks at anyone else and there's very few gym buddies (us included lol) Enjoy | |||

"We thought the rooftop was naturist only" I've neve seen a thing that says you must be naked, only that you can be naked. Loads of people come up and sit at the little table and chairs clothed and nobody complains. Seen many couples where the M is naked and the F has a bikini or just bikini bottoms | |||

"Is it worth paying extra for adults only floor ? " Not really tbh Any noise there is comes from the pool and the restaurant in the evening and an extra floor makes little difference. You do get an espresso machine, towel robes and some toiletries though. Top tip - take your own espresso capsules as they only give you a few, the spar own brand are pretty good from just up the road especially compared to the vile tasting stuff that comes out of the machines in the lobby and restaurant | |||

"We are currently here and have upgraded to a solarium room, they are above the bar. For us it was worth the extra just for the larger balcony (actually got the biggest of the lot)." how much did that cost they look great | |||

"how much did that cost they look great " The solarium rooms were 15€ pn, I'm not sure if that's a flat fee or because we had already paid for a family room. | |||

Can't wait for our next visit "The rooms are actually identical, we've stayed in lots, 525 is definitely identical to 425 but without the espresso, robes and toiletries and of course the higher aspect. The only rooms we had that are bigger are the family rooms mostly in the block nearest Cita which we had several times due to the works at the other end.

"As far as we know all rooms are now open. Before we flew out we emailed to get the upgrade costs, this is the reply: We are pleased to know that you have chosen our hotel to spend your holidays. As you already reserved the double familiar room, if you want to upgrade to - D. solarium it costs: 15€ per day - D. superior it costs: 45€ per day - D. private pool it costs: 75€ per day Even so, you have to check on arrival if it's possible to upgrade because it depends on the availability. Best regards, ANA" Thank you for the update | |||

"We have been going to this hotel for years as we love the location but after coming hom a couple of days ago we can see where they are trying to cut costs The coffee machines are a disgrace……whatever they now use is disgusting and the peanut paper cups are shite The dining room was full,of flies and never seen so many sitting on all the buffet food…..nothing was covered Also the amount of screaming babies we where surrounded by was unreal Nothing like being woken up every bloody hour by babies….nice We don’t usually complain but this time just topped it for us" We go for the first time in 6 weeks 
To be fair, the whole island is having the problems with the flies, following the heavy rains. We certainly have never experienced the likes of it, they were everywhere.
Hope it's just a blip and things are back to normal by December, as we've only ever heard positive reports and are going with friends who have previously stayed there. | |||

"peanut paper cups are shite" The paper cups are useless, but the lobby machine had proper cups most of the day and if we wanted a hot drink and no cups were available we just used 2 plastic cups inside a peanut cup it did the job ok. "The dining room was full,of flies" There are loads of flies this year, however, its not just the Catarina that has them, they are everywhere. We ate out a few times and were constantly being bombarded with the pesky things! "Also the amount of screaming babies we where surrounded by was unreal" That's what happens in a family hotel and or family room. Although, saying that although we were not in the adult section and had no issues with screaming babies. | |||

"We have been going to this hotel for years as we love the location but after coming hom a couple of days ago we can see where they are trying to cut costs The coffee machines are a disgrace……whatever they now use is disgusting and the peanut paper cups are shite The dining room was full,of flies and never seen so many sitting on all the buffet food…..nothing was covered Also the amount of screaming babies we where surrounded by was unreal Nothing like being woken up every bloody hour by babies….nice We don’t usually complain but this time just topped it for us We go for the first time in 6 weeks
To be fair, the whole island is having the problems with the flies, following the heavy rains. We certainly have never experienced the likes of it, they were everywhere.
Hope it's just a blip and things are back to normal by December, as we've only ever heard positive reports and are going with friends who have previously stayed there.
Well if you like a coffee with your breakfast just be careful it’s mixed properly
We didn’t notice this many flies when eating away from the hotel so you would think food would be covered and good luck you don’t get places near tiny babies
We're in one of the Adult floor rooms with it's own coffee machine, people had already mentioned about the coffee downstairs. We'll be eating out a few nights, as long as we can get enough food/snacks to get us through the day....
Was t aware there was coffee machines in the higher floor rooms
You,ll have to let us know if they take pods??
Xxx
Take your own Nespresso pods (that's a hat they were last time anyway) as they only leave a couple. Spar own brand were pretty decent just up the road."Yep It’s a Nespresso takes the original style pods. They do not replace them if they are used. Nor the sugar or tea or milk etc. (although you can get these from the snack bar). Make sure the milk is in date as all of ours were out of date!!! We even had to specifically leave the dirty cups out, as if we left them by the machine, they didn’t get replaced either. There are also robes and slippers, and “premium” mini toiletries. Is everyone else’s shower pressure absolutely shocking? Takes me 4 times as long as normal to get showered! | |||

"We're not long back after an 11 night break there. Been going for many years, love the location being close to Cita and the dunes. However, we found the food to be very poor quality. School dinner type. Files all over the food. Hotel corridors very tired. This wasn't cheap either. Think we'll stay elsewhere next time " Crikey | |||

"Get yourselves to Gold, honestly can’t fault it…note; no nude sun terrace tho if that’s your thing x" Stayed there when it first opened, couldn't fault it, staff/service excellent etc Usually do Airbnb's so we can ditch the clothes and have our own space but going to Catarina with friends, rearranged from last year when we had to cancel. It'll be grand I'm sure....back to Airbnb's after that most likely | |||

It'll be grand I'm sure....back to Airbnb's after that most likely "We've been 3 times in the last 15 months and numerous times over the last 6 or 7 years, we first went around the time it had a refurb as it was quite fresh. We started to notice a decline in standards since COVID but last visit it was slightly better, no doubt a major refurb would make it even better again but we always found it comfortable, convenient and for the most part clean. The food is mostly just simple fare, not fine dining but then again it's not expensive for what it is. There was always a good selection of salads but in march there definitely wasn't, but then again we've noticed the even the supermarkets at home don't have the same selection they would have had a few years ago (coincidence?) What we tell people about the food is, we've never went hungry, and we've never been ill and there's always something that's quite nice but we rarely said that was delicious (except one of the nights when they did the Asian food) We're going Airbnb next month for the first time but will definitely be back to Caterina next year at some point. | |||

"Venus star Gold, Labranda Marietta, Suites hotel. Fc fortuny Above is a list of places we have stayed at, the list is in order of how good we think they are, (fortuny is only last because of location), all good in there own right, this will be our first time staying in a family hotel, some of the comments above have us a bit concerned but we shall see how it goes "We definitely wouldn't say it's bad, but definitely wasn't as good as it has been. I suppose when you go somewhere very frequently you start to notice the little things and of course a lot of the experience depends on the guests in the hotel ... Earlier this year some complete piece of shit pissed in a flower pot on the roof instead of using the toilet at the other end. The hotel were there immediately it was reported and removed the flower pot and sprayed the area with jeyes fluid. Someone was sick on the carpet outside their room !! What can the hotel do ? | |||

What can the hotel do ?"As long as the food, rooms, and cleaning is decent we won’t have any complaints, our first filter tends to be adult only hotels when booking, but we got such a good deal with this holiday it would be daft not to book it, we are kind of hoping there won’t be a lot of kids staying as half term should be over by the time we arrive | |||

Always been worried about where we get key from etc
Would need word of mouth for one of these please
Xxx"Usually owner, or their representative, meet you at the property. You simply text them when you are leaving the airport....we use a private transfer, so basically can say "be there in 25 minutes". There's hundreds of Airbnb's, use the map, select an area and choose a few, read reviews etc to see if owner checked up during stay, or any negative comments(one review of a property mentioned CCTV in the living room). Use Google maps, street view etc to see how private it is....just do your research. Personally, would rule out any ideas of parties etc but we've never had a problem bringing one or two couples back. Plenty to choose from, all budgets covered...just choose carefully. Can't pm | |||

They normally go for 2-3 months and stay there. Happy to give you the details when we come back. It's around £450 for 7 nights | |||

Things like hotels/landmarks in the background, shape of pool and surroundings... use Aerial view on Maps. We've been able to find almost all that we've looked at and stayed at. | |||

"This might sound like a daft question but this is our first time at this hotel; can anyone tell me if there is a kettle in the rooms. Really love a cup of coffee first thing before leaving the room. Also does the hotel provide towels for the sun loungers or do we still need to bring our own?? Getting excited now only 10 days to go !! "Yes they do have kettles in the rooms along with some supplies of coffee and tea and milk etc, you can hire towels at reception for a 5 euro each deposit which you get back when returning the towels at the end of your stay, if you want to change them during your holiday for fresh towels they charge 1 euro each time for cleaning. Enjoy your stay and have a fab time, the hotel suits us for location and the naked terrace… | |||

(Nespresso machine is only in the adult-only floor rooms. We got a pack of pods from the Spar in the next block up the road for €2) | |||

Are you allowed to say things are awful on here? Thought honest opinion was frowned upon "It would appear that the champion of honest opinion, be it good or bad isn't such a fan of honesty when the subject of criticism is his own opinion. | |||

"Beer, wine, soft drinks good Food decent, cleanliness good. Coffee, cocktails, crap. Solarium run down but ok, but there’s no bar so you have a trip of five floors to get one, bring a drinks carrier. Water pressure is crap. We knew it was a family hotel but we thought they would also cater for adults only, the only adult bit is the solarium. x The low water pressure must be something recent as it was fine in March and each other time we have been. Maybe something to do with the new refurb. Try emailing reception as usually a manager reads them we found it works much better than complaints to reception staff. Maintenance have looked into the pressure and have said there’s nothing they can do, we have been offered an alternative room in another block right in front of the entertainment stage, I have no doubt when they did the refurbishment and added lots of other water features that they didn’t bother upgrading the water supply. We will vote with our feet next time we come to GC
The water pressure was abysmal. Fancy rain shower head, but not even enough pressure to have drips coming from all the nozzles.
The refurb means the rooms are smart, always clean, the location is amazing, the price was good for all-incusive, but SO MANY little things just added up on the negative.
I known that’s how negative reviews start, that one or 2 things bother you, and then you just find fault everywhere. But it just seemed like there was cost-saving going on at every corner.
We stayed there just before Covid and it was awful - it doesn’t seem as though it has improved since. We have just stayed at the Dunas Suites and Villas in Maspalomas. Booked last minute and wasn’t sure what to expect but it was in another league compared to the Caterina and far cheaper!
