Gran Canaria, Canary Islands hotel rooms at the Occidental

"Fantastic hotel,could not fault it,great staff,excellent food,superb pool area,would highly recommend"

"A really lovely clean hotel and the food was a lovely "

" Excellent breakfast and view from the balcony"

"Would thoroughly recommend. Rooms a little tired but very clean, with everything you need and good service. Plenty of choice for breakfast - quality of food fine. Had a room with a city view, which was lovely and quiet."

"Stayed here for two nights on my final stop in Gran Canaria. The basics are solid. Staff were professional, and the hotel was clean and well maintained. No issues there. I also appreciated that underground parking was included. That said, this property is clearly geared toward business travelers, not solo leisure stays. For what you get, it felt overpriced. The location is convenient for airport access if you have a car, but otherwise it’s not particularly appealing or enjoyable to spend time around. The garage was usable but not smooth to navigate, which became a minor daily frustration. The hotel itself was also quite noisy at times. Food was a weak point. Breakfast was acceptable, but overall dining quality was below expectations. Overall, I’d rate it around a 3/5. If you’re a business traveler needing quick airport access, it does the job well. For a solo traveler looking for a more relaxed or enjoyable stay, there are better options."

"Very good value 4 star hotel, good food and good facilities"

"Pools and seating areas excellent, buffet and restaurants excellent, large rooms"

"Very clean, great pools (not heated in winter). Limited restaurant options outside of the buffet meals. "

"We really enjoyed our stay at Santa Catalina. The room was very nice, well kept and clean. The hotel had a very pleasant vibe. Breakfast was excellent with great variety of options. The service was OK. Great at times and requiring improvement at some instances. We really liked the amenities, including the pools. We found the restrictions on which pools our toddler could use and which not somewhat restrictive. There is absolutely no harm in allowing kids to the soa pool under restricted hours, e.g. morning until 19am. Many other more prestigious hotels do it, why not Santa Catalina. Thankfully staff were accommodating were they could!"
