Paradisus by Meliá Gran Canaria

Jelena Todic Stanojevic

An absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish! Paradisus Grand Canaria exceeded all my expectations. Everything was simply fantastic — from the warm and attentive service to the genuinely positive energy of every member of staff. You can truly feel that the people working here love what they do, and it makes the entire experience even more special. The food was outstanding, with an excellent variety and quality, and the location is perfect. The hotel itself is beautiful, stylish, and wonderfully designed, with fantastic entertainment and plenty of activities to make every day enjoyable. As someone who loves running, I especially appreciated the location by the sea. There is a beautiful running path right along the coast, making it a perfect place to enjoy a morning run with an incredible view. Everything about this hotel made my stay memorable. I highly recommend Paradisus Grand Canaria and I am already looking forward to coming back. I can’t wait to visit again! ❤️

Overall, we had a really good holiday at Paradisus Gran Canaria. I’d probably rate it as a very strong 4.5-star hotel rather than a true 5-star, but for the price we paid, I think it represents very good value. We stayed in a Premium Ocean View room and the view was definitely worth paying extra for. The room itself was lovely, although it did feel a bit small once you add a baby and all the extra things that come with travelling with a child. The beach was one of the highlights for us. It’s very easy to access from the hotel and the location in general worked really well. Food was a little mixed. The main buffet was good and there was plenty of choice, but it wasn’t outstanding. The à la carte restaurants were a bit hit and miss depending on where we ate. The drinks were good though, with a decent selection, and were actually better than we expected. Staff and service were generally very good, and there were a few members of the team who were particularly friendly, attentive and helpful. We did have some frustration when trying to upgrade our room and initially felt a bit brushed off by the guest manager. After we complained, the hotel did make an effort to put things right and gave us tickets to Scala, which we really enjoyed and appreciated. There are a few small details that stop it feeling like a full 5-star experience, but overall we had a very enjoyable stay and would go back again!

Fabulous Hotel which is enhanced by brilliant staff who care about their work. Excellent rooms, great food. Lots of choice here but I recommend The Winery with the wine pairing. You have to pay extra for this but with Javier and Nico to take you through the evening you are bound to enjoy Vibra bar makes great cocktails btw. Highly recommended

We are still honestly stunned by the quality of our nine-day stay at Paradisus Gran Canaria. We’ve stayed at some resorts before, but this one completely redefined our expectations of what a luxury all-inclusive can feel like. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was just effortless; sophisticated, yet incredibly welcoming. The culinary variety is mind-blowing, and the quality is consistently top-tier. Two spots really stole the show for us: Lemon Fish—you absolutely must try the Peruvian ceviche, it’s a total game-changer—and Peseta, which felt less like a standard dinner and more like a guided culinary journey. We decided to upgrade to the Reserve option, and we can’t recommend it enough. Having that extra layer of exclusivity, especially at the private pool and lounge, made our downtime feel like a true retreat. It was the perfect place to just kick back, enjoy a drink, and really soak in the holiday atmosphere. The service throughout the resort isn't just "good"—it’s phenomenal. Every staff member we encountered was genuinely kind and attentive, but a few people went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. A huge thank you to Estefan in entertainment; we never thought we’d be excited for Aquagym, but his positive energy, vibes and motivation were so infectious. He’s an absolute standout and makes sure we all leave with an unforgettable performance at the pool. In the restaurants, Brandon was always so attentive, and Jaime at the Shack quickly became our favorite. If you’re craving the best tacos and Caesar salads, head his way. He keeps the cocktails flowing and the mood light, even on hotter days. The Reserve team really took care of us, too. Stefanie made our breakfasts feel so personalized and really set the tone for our mornings, and Maivelys at the pool was always one step ahead, whether it was checking on sunbed availability or bringing over a quick snack. She made everything feel so easy and lovely., The guest experience was made smooth and welcoming thanks to Sergio, as he was introducing us to the amenities and coordinated with the team all the outside excursions. His recommendations were spot on; our day trips to the banana plantation and the hike to Roque Nublo were true highlights of our trip. Finally, we want to thank Elena at the Front Office for the always friendly and helpful service, making our stay and final checkout seamless and comfortable. Honestly, if you’re looking for a superior experience where everything is taken care of, this is it. We’re already trying to figure out when we can get back! — Paulina and Yannik

A Resort with Pros and Cons The Restaurant only deserves 1*. The service is extremely poor as is the food with flies crawling over the cold meats and cheese. Poor selection, roast meats that dry out under the heat lamps, no gravy, stale cake. Housekeeping sweeping the restaurant while you’re eating was an eye opener! The room was adequate but limited space to hang your clothes. The air conditioning leaked and was reported twice. The 2nd time it was repaired. However, the towel I put underneath to catch the water was just discarded in to the shower cubicle. Had to wait 1.5 hours on our last night for maintenance to attend as none of the room lights would turn off. The experience restaurants are very good if you like fish or steak. The staff are very friendly and give you a warm welcome. Martin works incredibly hard and always had a smile on his face. Marta and Sergio on the Guest Experience saved our holiday as I was ready to check out. So a massive thank you to them both. We were upgraded to The Reserve because of the issues we had encountered. Absolutely faultless experience there except…………100’s of fruit flies on the sandwiches and food. The waitress there is by far the sweetest, kindest host I have ever met.
