El Tablero Hotels, San Bartolomé de Tirajana

"The hotel is supposed to be one of the top hotels in Gran Canaria but is far from being the best. We paid for an ocean front room. Our room was located in the 5th floor of the main building which we thought was a good thing. The balcony door could be open or closed & the noise was the same. The shows started at 10pm and ended at 11pm. Awful noise until 1am. The room temperature can not be controlled by any guest. It is controlled by the property & set to 70o F. We were sweating every night & called the front desk who answered…”we can’t change the temperature for ecological reasons”. The pool service was pitiful. No waiters to attend any pool chairs. If you wanted anything you had to walk to one of the bars, if they were open, & wait forever to get service. The kitchen in all outside bars closed at 4pm even for snack/tapas. And no drinks around any pool bar after 5:45pm. The beach is not hotel front, you have a good walk to get to the sand. You can only get a dry pool towel between 10am and 12pm, they are closed outside those hours. We paid for breakfast included with our stay. One morning we had an early tour and they said they would prepare a breakfast to go. The bag we received left a lot to be desired compared to the breakfast buffet at the hotel. It had a cold sandwich with old bread & fruits that were starting to rot. This is the only hotel were I have stayed and the king bed only had two pillows for 2 people. We had to order two additional pillows. Stay elsewhere!!"

"Amazing stay overall. "

"Lovely hotel and the best all inclusive we have stayed in out of the whole of Spain and Canary Islands"

"It was a nice place, breakfast was good as well however parking was limited and we had to park outside the property several times. In addition what was disappointing is that the adults only pool can only be accessed if you have an adults only room rather than being for adults only. This means that the majority of people gather around one pool rather than being able to access both. The two pools was one of the selling points for us and we did not realise you needed to book specific room types, so be aware when you book your room."

"Location: Ideal location, close to shops, restaurants, beach. Hotel: Very nice adults only hotel that offers great service and views. Staff: Great staff who were helpful and very pleasant to deal with. The breakfast staff were a delight. Room: Had a partial sea view room which was great. Clean and quiet. I recommend this hotel and would certainly stay here again."

" We had a very enjoyable stay overall. The views from the hotel are excellent and definitely one of its standout features. The food was consistently good, and the restaurant itself is very well maintained, making for a pleasant dining experience. The drinks were fine, although the cocktails could be improved slightly. The pool area is on the smaller side, but still perfectly adequate for relaxing. One downside was the adults-only pool, which was the coldest I’ve ever experienced and not particularly enjoyable to use. A small issue we noticed was that the maids were quite noisy early in the morning—there’s really no need for shouting when guests are still sleeping. The hotel could benefit from a bit of refurbishment in places, and adding a gym would be a great improvement. That said, despite a few minor drawbacks, we would return in the future."

"Close to airport and next to large shopping mall"

"Poor food service"

"The food was INCREDIBLE! Thee rest buffet restaurant and all inclusive I’ve been to by far. It was very windy and rainy most days I was there but the staff made up for it by putting together games and fun drinks for both adults and kids. It was so much fun but also nice and relaxing. The amenities were phenomenal and my room was impeccable 😊🙌"
