Don Gregory by Dunas - Adults Only

We have just returned from the Dunas Don Gregory and 1 week just wasn’t enough. We had a wonderful stay in the most perfect room (131) opposite the lower pool. Every morning I would just open the patio door and I was there right in the garden next to the peaceful pool-absolute bliss! My husband is a Road cyclist and and there was plenty of room to to keep his bike (rented from Free Motion about 10 mins walk away) in the room. He says the hotel is the perfect location for all of his favourite rides. It is also great for bus travel and most afternoons we caught the terrific Global bus service somewhere (Las Palmas, Puerto Morgan, Amadores) or we walked to the sand dunes in Maspalomas along the excellent walkway directly outside the hotel. The hotel has plenty of bars/restaurants around and supermarkets opposite. The hotel buffet for breakfast and dinner was really good, had enough variety for us and the team in there work very hard. The position of this hotel is a big selling point I feel and sets it apart from other hotels in the area. It has direct access to the beach and the views are lovely, we loved hearing the sound of the waves and eating meals looking out onto the beach. It was a very peaceful hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Will definitely be returning.

There was no cause for complaint or disappointment with this well-managed, conveniently located beach front hotel. Comfortable bed; adequate bedroom maintained each day; reasonable choice from a buffet menu, breakfast and dinner and very pleasant staff!

On arrival very efficient check in. Great staff on Reception. Our Room 810 was very spacious internally and spotlessly clean. The Balcony was on the small side slightly obscured on LH side. Not a problem as area by Pool great. Sun beds are reserved by Lifeguard for those of us with disabilities. There were plenty of sun-beds for all so towel dash unnecessary. We found all the staff at hotel extremely friendly even though some of them couldn’t always understand English. It seems as though English guests are in the minority. The Pool is one of the best I’ve used abroad with amazing access into the lovely warm water. Never crowded, sometimes having it to myself. There was daily Aquafit which popular with men and women. The Lifeguard Diego was so helpful, nothing was too much trouble for him. When the shade went from Sun bed he’d willingly adjust the position of umbrella. Never had this service before. There was plenty to eat in the Restaurant but found it seemed to cater more for Europeans. Loved the Omelettes breakfast time which were cooked to order. The Wine Waiter Marcos was very helpful. Also there are tables reserved for those with mobility issues, making it easier to access the food counters. A special thank you to waitress Angelina who seemed to work all over the bars. Her English was very good. Also the head barman in Entertainment Bar very obliging. Nice touch having beds turned down and nightdress made to look pretty. I found the bed hard so after first night had a mattress topper. Fine after that. Loved the Adult Only vibe. The only downer to me, due to mobility issues, was the area outside hotel. The Shopping Centre leaves a lot to be desired and there is no lift between floors, just steep hills to walk up. Not many shops open either. Fortunately there is a supermarket ground floor level.

The hotel is beautiful staff lovely reception staff not nice atall GUEST TERRIBLE they were all pensioners but we got complained about for having fun in pool at 6pm so left it at that but the next night we met some Canadian ladies who were there for conference one was a scientist her wife it expert the other lady was a gynecologist we were all having a good time then some ignorant guest threw water at us from a room above when we complained we were told 400 guests this is a quiet hotel sorry but it was adult only but not pensioners only and you had to be German can't fault meals or waiting or cleaning staff just felt so bored and couldn't even laugh my daughter and her man came with me I'm not even pension age terrible atmosphere not recommending this hotel this should be stated PENSIONERS ONLY very bad atmosphere all day and the looks and stares were not nice atall the look off disgust was terrible my daughter has bi polar disorder which put her on a real downer and I was angry with the disrespect shown to us and it also should be stated germans only we are scottish very bad reception we had

All the staff we encountered here were friendly and helpful. Stayed in a junior suite on 8th floor which was very quiet and had great sea views, two bathrooms, comfortable beds and quiet AC (though didn’t need as there was a sea breeze and no mosquitoes!). Breakfast was good but take your own tea bags. Didn’t have other meals as the shopping centre at the back of the hotel contains plenty of places to eat and drink and there are 6/7 places along the beach too. We weren’t in for the evening entertainment but what we did catch seemed good. There is beach yoga, pool exercise and cocktail making during the day. The main pool was lovely and warn but I didn’t try the ‘infinity’ pool as it was quite small. Able to get a sunbed easily and there is a policy of removing towels after 1/2 hour if necessary. No idea if this would be actually adhered to in the summer months but wasn’t needed in April. Tiny spa but fine as no one else in there- be warned, you have to wear a plastic shower cap…good for hygiene but not aesthetically pleasing! Had a back massage which was brilliant. One negative is that some parts of the hotel could do with a bit of TLC and a lick of paint. If you go for a white minimalist look, you need to keep it pristine. We weren’t too bothered as it was very clean and that was more important.

The hotel is in a great location right on the beachfront. There was always a great variety of food at meal times - freshly prepared meat, salad, desserts etc. The staff were the highlight - so many smiley people that couldn't do enough and went out of their way to make our holiday better. Would definitely recommend.

The location is perfect. Right on the beach with beautiful views from any part of the hotel including the rooms. A modern fresh looking building with a welcoming environment and very friendly staff all throughout. Clean, comfy and elegant

We had stayed at the Don Gregory several times before. It is in an excellent situation beside a good beach for swimming and a prom for walking. The hotel is excellent with superb buffet mealtimes. We stayed in a Premium Room and it is well worth the extra cost.

Brilliant adults only hotel. Quiet location with amazing promenade to neighbouring beaches. Wonderful buffet food and service throughout the hotel. Received a bottle of fizz for our anniversary together with good wishes, both written and in person at dinner. Fabulous holiday in every way!
