We stayed at the Babalu apartments in September 2011 for a week self-catering. It was our first holiday abroad together and it was ideal for what we needed. It has a lovely pool area which wasn't overtaken by noisy children as we went outside of the summer holidays yet it was still really hot. It was a short taxi ride... More

We like our luxury but couldnt afford posh hotels so started looking at holidays and booked Babalu. Some of the reviews were bad so we were anxious about going but thought we would... More

Spent a great week at the Babalu, pleasant staff always have your key ready when they see you approach the reception, Dave the English barman was very friendly and the prices for drinks and food very reasonable. The rooms are very basic but clean and the beds have seen better days so maybe a little money should be spent on... More

One of them talked a bit in Swedish, and understood most of what we said, he was nice and funny. :-) The food and pool area were nice, and... More

We enjoy going to Gran Canaria during the winter months (to get away from the cold here in Portugal!), and we've stayed in this hotel more than once due mainly to the price, which is quite cheap, and location! We only use it for sleeping, because during the day we are always traveling around or bathing at the beach! (don't... More

I'm not usually a fan of Tripadvisor, think it's too easy for people to slag off places unecesarily, however I do think it's good to give practical information to others. This is why I want to sing the praises of Babalu. We have been going to Puerto Rico for probably 16 years now and I have to say these are... More
