I stayed with my wife at the Escorial for 12 nights from the 24th April to the 6th May. It was my second time in this hotel and the fifth time in a Bull hotel in Gran Canary. My first time at the Escorial was three or four years ago and I did enjoy the experience. This time I was... More

Me and my boyfriend Spent a week at Escorial at the start of April and couldn't believe it was a 3 star hotel! Should be a 4 star! Didnt really see any other young couples there at all but I still thought this was a good hotel! There was entertainment most nights but we didn't stay to watch. The rooms... More

We were welcomed by sunshine but a very moody receptionist who took at least 5 minutes to even acknowledge we were standing at the desk to check in which was a shame. Rooms are nice and spacious although could do with updating. So much choice of food at breakfast and dinner (stayed half board) - different meats/fish cooked on the... More

My family and I stayed at the Escorial only after reading some very good reveiws on Trip Advisor so it was a releif when it lived up to the hype. The location is very good. There's plenty going on around it but it's never noisy. We all found the food to be superb and easily as good as anything we've... More

Me and my hubby stayed here last autumn for a short relaxing break. Hotel alittle dated but the rooms were quite adequate and the spa and games room a real bonus, an excellent hotel for families. The pool was abit small and in the evening there wasn't enough seating in the bar area so guests seemed to take their drinks... More

The sun is – in my opinion - the only reason to justify a stay in Playa del Ingles. So, during the cold winter months: you’re excused. This area is not a nice place to be. As soon as the weather permits: reconsider other options. Italia, the mainland of Spain, Portugal and certainly Greece are far more interesting to go... More

Stayed here from 27th december for 7 nights but unfortunately had to cut holiday short so only stayed 4 nights. First impressions was that the decor in and around the bar and reception area were a little tired and dated, could do with a makeover but no major problems. The staff seemed helpful and efficient and check in was smooth... More
