Just back from an amazing holiday … 10 days in Puerto Rico Gran Canaria, the weather was amazing, all apart from the rain on Tuesday, but that can’t be helped. And it’s certainly NOT the hotels fault lol 😂 Unfortunately though I’m not sure I’d stay at the Marina Bayview again. I think the Suites may be the better hotel, and I’m gutted we didn’t take a look at them. We liked the fact that the Bayview is Adult only, but it was a bit too quiet for us and our 16 year old. I think the age limit would be better set at 18. My opinion-Pros and cons I’ll start with the Cons to get that out of the way. 1) Steps (lol) those were a killer back up to the hotel … and before anyone starts, we’ve stayed in Puerto Rico many times before so we know it is Hilly and that there are Steps, we were lucky 🍀 we were in D block in room D105 so it wasn’t that bad for us, but my sister in law and her friend were In the apartment above us and those steps up were a killer 😂 although I just put this comment to warn people who may have mobility issues. 2) Food - Mainly Breakfast 🥞 We did bed and breakfast as our booking and the Cooked food was Cold 🥶… this is quite serious as it could actually cause someone to become very I’ll with food poisoning, and is so easily rectified. It’s a shame because the rest of the breakfast- Toast, croissant’s, continental stuff was a good selection. It’s disappointing because we ended up eating breakfast out some days as my husband and son didn’t want another cold breakfast. Which meant we spent more money than expected, and we’d already paid for the breakfast. 3) Friday Night BBQ 🍗 In my opinion NOT worth the €20, again the foods that were pre cooked - chicken kebabs, chicken wings, potatoes etc were Cold 🥶 - again easily rectified, they could have just been kept warm on the BBQ as their hot plates clearly do not work ! All I had was a steak and salad so I thought it was very overpriced, also we thought drinks were included and had to pay separately for them. I’d say at best €10-€ 12 would be a satisfactory price to pay. 4) The Bar 🍺 Considering it’s an Adult only hotel it was very disappointing that the bar shut at 9pm, I think it should be kept open a bit later, especially as in the suites it’s open till 1am and that’s the family hotel where people with small children stay. We could have quite happily stayed and had a few drinks in the evening overlooking the Marina instead of venturing out every night. 5) The pool - although it’s lovely 😊 and was empty again it was advertised as heated but was actually freezing 🥶 cold … but this is a light comment as some days it was quite refreshing other days i however had goose bumps and had to get out. Now the Pros 1) it’s actually quite a nice hotel and the location / view over the marina is amazing, especially when the sun sets, we have some fantastic photos. 2) Rooms/ Apartments We actually really liked the Apartment we were in and it was big enough for the 3 of us, the only t
