Abora Continental by Lopesan

Visited here for a week. The hotel from the outside looks dire but inside has been revamped. The hotel foyer is very light and airy with modern furnishings which unfortunately we did not find very comfortable to sit on. Because the seating is quite deep, nearly everyone was moving the cushions around - you needed 2 or 3 behind you to be able to sit without slouching. Our bedroom had been completely refurbished and looked extremely good. There is a hairdryer provided but you had to keep the button pressed in for it to work, and I did find this wasn’t that comfortable to use. The restaurant is light and airy. Never had a problem finding a seat and always a good variety of food. Being coeliac I was extremely impressed with how the Hotel handled my requirement of gluten free food. When I checked in I was given an allergy card stating my requirements. At mealtimes I showed this to one of the staff or the chef, and I was then provided with gluten free bread, croissants and muffins. If I wasn’t sure about any of the dishes I could ask. There were always plenty of sunloungers available. The entertainments team worked extremely hard and their evening shows were brilliant. Yes there is still some work going on in the Hotel but this doesn’t in any way have an impact on guests. There is also major roadworks going on outside the hotel (which obviously the hotel can do nothing about!) but noise is not constant.

Very nice hotel. We had the newly renovated room facing the ocean. Looked very old outside but once you enter, the interior is really nice and fresh. Animation was entertaining, especially at night. Animators were fun and funny too. I see kids enjoying themselves. It was not repetive, they have something new everyday and hey.. you can't expect too much for a 3 star hotel right? As long as the food was great I can not complain. Desserts was not my thing thou, did not like them. The thing that I love the most about abora is there 24 hour drinks (soda/wine/coffee) and snacks, where can you find a 3 star hotel like that? Hotel was also near the beach (2 mins walk) where you can swim and sunbath. If you want to be near the sand dunes then you are in the wrong place place, it takes about 20 to 30 mins to the dunes. The woman doing the tours thou was not kind. We booked a vw up from the for the next day but we ended up having another (which by the way was uncomfortable to drive), we asked her why and she said "see the car, if you don't like, don't get it". She did not even say sorry. We had no choice but to get the car, it was our last day and we really wanted to see Gran canaria. Anyway for the price, it was really a jackpot finding this hotel. We were really satisfied.

Just got back from this supperb hotel the apearance from the outside does not do it justice .walked in to a massive bright and modern reception and was greeted on arival we cheked in but our room was not ready til 2pm but were given our al inclusive wrist band and was given directions to the restaurant .on walking in to the restaurant very inpresed with the cleanlienes and quality of food the best all inclusive hotel i have been to food always being replenished by polite and tidy chefs .the pool area was spotless the first morning we went the cleaners were in the pool cleaning the walls and the surounding area always found a sunbed in the morning around 9.30 am and plenty of sun or shaded areas no need to get up at first light to get a bed.did not stay in for the eavening entertainment as we like to walk around the surounding area so cant coment .the only reason i have not given five stars is the position of our room whe had booked a low floor room which we had entered the room to a modern decorated room with a masive flat screen tv plenty or space plus a large sofa bathroom was large with a walk in shower which was very impresive ,but when i went out on to the balcony i was very disapointed to be looking out as what looked like a building site with the old furniture from the refurbishment piled outside the room in our view plus got woken up around 6.30 am with the noise of deliveries to th kitchen plus we were told that we would be kept away from the road works and refurbishment couldent have been any closer tto it rooms next door .but sayng that i would returne to this hotel but would make sure not on the same side next time.
