Arteara Holidays

My room 1272 was a good size for solo use, it was a bit of a walk from reception but there’s clear steps/walkways. Some aspects a bit dated. Could not use balcony due to sharp palm tree leaves taking up 1/2 the space. Walk to the beach/shops was ok, around 15 minutes safe and quiet area. The walk back from the beach does have a small incline but most people with moderate fitness will cope. Would not have paid the full price but it was fairly priced for the ‘offer price’.

I love Gran Canaria and visit twice a year. This the second time I have stayed at Lopesan Faro. The hotel itself is beautiful and adults only. The location on the beach with incredible views to the ocean and across the famous dunes is second to none. As are the facilities in hotel with the best breakfasts anywhere plus a wonderful, heated pool with the most comfortable loungers. The rooms are great except the first floor overlooking the dunes and the Dunas hotel on the back of the building. This gets noise from the aircon units and the rear service access road which woke us up at 5am with bins being emptied so we moved to another room. The lobby bar has incredible views across the pool and out to the ocean. The location in Meloneras is great. There is wonderful shopping plus a myriad of bars and restaurants on your doorstep. I love Cafe del Mar for the Friday and Saturday night dining and cabaret shows, Pitos y Flautas for sunny lunches overlooking the ocean and Grand d'Italia for late dinners. All of these plus retail therapy - check out Mo's Fashions - are a 1 to 5 minute walk along the promenade. There is aso a very handy taxi rank opposite the hotel for trips to Yumbo, Playa del Ingles or to take you to the airport. I highly recommend this hotel and I have already booked to return next year.

Some areas a bit tired.

Hotel was exceptional.

Very nice staff nice facilities. Really woudl have liked some coffee facilities in the room.
