Gran Tacande Wellness & Relax

Árni Sigurðsson

My wife and I recently stayed at this hotel for a week, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable and relaxing vacations we’ve had. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome, greeting us with warm smiles and excellent service throughout our stay. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, with a comfortable bed and a balcony offering a stunning view. It felt like a home away from home, with all the amenities we could ask for. The little touches, like fresh flowers and chocolates, made it even more special. The hotel’s dining options were fantastic. We enjoyed breakfast every morning with a great selection of fresh and healthy choices. The dinner options were equally impressive, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate any requests. One of the highlights for us was the spa area. We spent a lot of time unwinding in the pool, sauna, and hot tub — a perfect way to recharge. The hotel’s location also made it easy for us to explore nearby attractions, while still feeling like a peaceful retreat away from the crowds. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The staff, the comfort, and the attention to detail made our stay truly special. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and already thinking about when we can return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a romantic escape! 5/5 stars.

We will not be back to this hotel! I will start with the food: We only booked the breakfast, not dinner as I am vegan and my hubby doesn't eat seafood so we decided to be more flexible. The selection of vegan options at breakfast was quite limited, and the existing choices were not clearly or explicitly labeled to confirm whether they were genuinely vegan. Only allergen information was provided, which made it difficult to identify suitable options. In regard to the rooms: We paid €388 per night for a room that had an unpleasant smell, a toilet with a glass door (which did not even close completely) that lacked the privacy one expects, and a balcony overlooking the building directly in front of it. While the room itself was comfortable, it certainly did not justify the high price.The rooms were quite noisy, as I could easily hear neighbors talking loudly or laughing, which disrupted the overall comfort of the stay. Additionally, there was an occasional wastewater odor in the rooms, which was masked with an overpowering vanilla scent. Unfortunately, this attempt was not effective in resolving the issue. Despite the less-than-ideal experience, I want to commend the reception team for their professionalism, helpfulness, and solution-oriented approach. They promptly accommodated our request to change the first room, which had an internal door to the neighboring room. They consistently listened to our requests and concerns and made genuine efforts to address them with practical solutions.

I love this hotel. it is really tastefully decorated with lovely rooms with great views. It has two really nice swimming pools plus a jacuzzi and little kids’ pool (there may be an indoor pool too but I never saw it). There are different activities laid on during the week such as pool biking, pool aerobics and stretching and poolside yoga which are very enjoyable (these are for adults). Breakfast is great with a lot of choice and all the staff are fantastic, very professional and friendly, especially the waiters at dinner. I had one tiny issue at the hotel and it was dealt with absolutely professionally by one of the manageresses. I was very impressed with her handling of the matter and I get the impression that this is a really well-run hotel. The hotel has a bit of an old-world feel to it and it is perfect for a relaxing holiday, chilling out by the pool. If you are looking for a party atmosphere, this hotel is not for you as it tends to be quiet and is mainly visited by older couples and a few families with young children. If you are looking for a lovely, restful break, I highly recommend it.

Hotel Gran Tacande 5 star they say It took us about an hour to check in. Totally our fault. We had booked a twin room we were told they were 95% sure of getting it. They showed my son a lovely king size bed. They told us the bed did not come apart. But one of us could sleep on the couch. We did not come on this expensive holiday to sleep on a couch. This room had a couch and a Jaccuzi bath. They offered us a twin room. With no Jaccuzi bath a terrible view. Also there was a bath but it was public. So one of us had to stay out of the room if the other wanted a bath. They refused to tell us the difference in cost between the two rooms. They also refused to compensate us in any way. Take it or leave it. I am all for fairness. This is the first time we have stayed in this hotel. We ordered room service. The chips were burnt the eggs were also burnt. My son said the food filled a gap it was a long tiring day for us. However we will not be getting room service again. Day 1 Maybe day 2 will improve. The breakfast was excellent. The fridge broke in the room it was fixed in a few hours.

We booked the Gran Tacande for our honey moon and had a week of 5 star treatment. The hotel is gorgeous, stylish and immaculately clean. The view from our room was stunning close to Azotea bar overlooking the pool area and outside the door we could see the beach. What really stood out to us above all was the staff. They were so attentive and exceeded all of our expectations. They went above and beyond and were the best of any hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I was ill one evening and they were quick to give advice and ensure I was okay in the coming days. Such genuine care was appreciated and not at all expected. Every element of our stay was perfect and they deserve every star on their door. We also enjoyed the entertainment in the evening and there was plenty to do thanks to the very engaging animation team. Finally we would like to thank the Gran Tacande and all their staff for our wonderful stay.
