SENSIBLE HONEST FEEDBACK ON THEIR STAY
Mokester9 – East Riding of Yorkshire, United Kingdom

Incredible value for what we paid.We have been back one week now, and all wish we were back in Gran Canaria with the sun beaming down on us
We had a fantastic stay at the Marina Elite. The staff work incredibly hard and – in a single day – can be seen working in a number of different locations around the hotel. Id read some reviews of the staff being unfriendly, but I wouldnt say this was the case – many are just really tired come the evening when theyve been working in the sun all day.
The rooms are basic but spacious and ours had a phenomenal view of the ocean. My only criticism would be the cleanliness of the room. We were there for 10 days and the room wasnt cleaned for the last 4 of them. However, the reception staff were quick to send new towels when we requested them.
The food was lovely Really warm and some of the best English Breakfast food that weve had abroad. Lots for kids to choose from also, so no-one went hungry. Lots to drink also, from Cruzcampo beer to cocktails. Cava was a keen favorite of my wifes, though she said it had a kick to it
There wasnt a lot of entertainment, though the staff in charge of this did try their best. The pools were clean and there was never an issue getting a sunbed, providing you didnt drift down at 11am and expect to get four next to each other. Something to bear in mind: if you want to hire beach towels, you have to lay down €15 per towel (which is refund upon leaving).
The bus stop at the bottom of the hotel ramp has a constant flow of buses and taxis are reasonable. We usually stay in Meloneras and it was €11 for our family (of 4) to travel there for the day and €23 in a taxi. I would love to return to Marina Elite. However, I think we got an absolutely phenomenal deal this time around

Really lovely hotel and well deserving of 4
The hotels really nice. Everywhere is clean and the staff are all friendly and helpful. We stayed in a 2 bed apartment and it was lovely. Nice and modern. Cleaned almost every day. Fresh towels almost every day. The bedding was changed a few times.
The maids do a fab job. Because we had a 2 bed apartment we had two huge balconies with a side view to the sea. Id contacted the hotel before we travelled asking to be put somewhere quiet as two of our children are neurodiverse. I think theyd probably normally put families near the family pool where the evening entertainment is but they put us over the other side away from all that.
The food is nice. Theres something different every day along with the usual pasta, pizza, chips. Thankfully they did plain pasta as we have a beige eater who lived on pasta and bread whilst we were there. Everything is well cooked. Id probably say there could be slightly more of a selection of desserts but there was always something we liked. You can book the other restaurant which is the snack bar during the day and they have themed evenings- we went to the Mexican which was delicious, Chinese which again was delicious and the grill which was a BBQ and again very tasty. You just ask at reception to book on and there isnt a limit as to how many times you can go to them.
Theres free Wi-Fi at the hotel- but ask at reception because they give you a piece of paper with a login for up to 4 devices. As there were 5 of us they gave us two logins and they last for a week at a time then you have to get another.
The shop on site is very useful and sells lots of things from water and ice cream to groceries, hats and pool toys. Inflatables arent allowed in the pools which my kids were a bit disappointed about but the pools arent huge so its understandable. We preferred the rectangular pool to the one with music and aqua aerobics etc. It seemed warmer and less busy.
There are lots of steps to everywhere in the hotel which is great to keep your fitness levels up- and the gym was pretty good too.
There were lots of cats which are clearly well looked after and well fed. They were all very friendly- we had one lie on our sunbeds with us one day. They only come if you invite them over though so for the people out there who arent keen on animals dont let this put you off. I dont understand why the ratings for this place are only 3/5, its much nicer than many 4 hotels weve stayed in. I also dont understand why jet2 only rate it a 3. The hotel itself is listed as a 4 and Id say thats well deserved.
Its in a good position- not anywhere busy but you can walk into Anfi which takes less than 10 mins with 3 kids in tow. There is also a bus stop outside the hotel and the reception staff can order you a taxi. It cost around 6 euros to go into Puerto Rico- I cant say I was a huge fan of this place though as it was full of restaurant staff trying to get us to eat at their restaurant.
We just went for some novelty gift shopping, I wouldnt want to stay there. We did the dolphin safari cruise which we booked through the jet2 app. It was fab. We saw loads of dolphins and their babies. The snorkelling was an added extra but the sea was very cold.
Im not one to visit somewhere more than once but wed definitely go back here. It would be amazing if the hotel could secure the bit of wasteland to the side of it and turn it into a beach.
