2.0 Beautiful grounds; rudest waiters in the world

My bff and I came from the U.S. to Gran Canaria for a week’s stay at Hotel Cordial. We took a taxi from the airport (about 61 Euros). If we had to do it all again, we would rent an apartment near the harbor where we could have bought food at the nearby supermarket, then splurged on the very reasonably priced and wonderful restaurants by the water that had wait staff who weren’t hateful. During our week there, we didn’t meet anyone else from the U.S. (it is a long flight). Most of the guests staying there were German or Norwegian. We were also one of the only female duos we saw there. We’re not dating, but it’s possible some of the staff thought we were. I thought that could be the source of the poor service we got in the dining room, but we met an actual lesbian couple from Sweden and they said the waiters were great to them. I’m guessing the horrible service had more to do with our nationality. I’ve never been treated as rudely at any restaurant, anywhere, ever. Was it our country’s origin? Was it that we weren’t traveling with men? Did we smile wrong? We had no idea. By Thursday night, I demanded to know what we’d done to deserve the huffing, eye rolling and general neglect, but the man who’d been snippy and English speaking for the 25 seconds he’d spent at our table suddenly said he couldn’t speak English and smirked away. All that and the food was just meh. Boring and bland. Lots of rice; no spice.

Hotel Suite Princess - All Inclusive - Adults Only

3.0 Excellent facilities, lacking in amenities

Please note: we are a young American couple who has traveled to the Caribbean multiple times, and stayed in various all-inclusive resorts in that area. This is a very different experience. Pros: grounds were beautiful. Rooms were extremely nice and spacious. We were in a suite on the 8th floor with a wonderful view. The bathroom is very large with a granite vanity. The bar and wait staff were extremely attentive. Everyone was very nice. The pool area is clean, and there are more than enough chairs to accommodate anyone who wishes to lay out in that area. There is no private beach, however, it is a very short walk (less than 5 minutes) and is a nice beach. You are also a short bus ride from two other beaches. The weather was fantastic. It was 70-73 degrees in Mid-April, which felt about 10 degrees hotter. The food is better than the Caribbean experiences. In all, the hotel was clean and well maintained. They do provide beach towels in the room, but it's 1.80 euro each time for an ecological tax. We managed to use the same towels, which was not an issue. Cons: A young, 20-something American (or really any nationality) couple does not fit into the clientele of this resort. The median age was 65. Due to this, the food times, drink times, and entertainment catered to the older crowd. Aforementioned, there is no private beach. No music was played by the pool during the day. There were very few daily activities. The staff was nice, but virtually clueless. Everything seemed very

Hotel Paradise Lago Taurito - All Inclusive Waterpark & Spa

4.0 Decent hotel

Nice location and lots of things to do. The buffet breakfast, lunch and dinners were nice. This hotel is definitely a family destination, as you'll see with the tons of kids running around being noisy. The room, though nice, could be updated. Given the close proximity to where all of the events take place, the music, waterpark, etc., it's loud until 10PM-11PM and it was hard to sleep. This would be a fun place for a family. Wi-Fi you must pay for and it only works in the lobby, if I remember correctly. There are computers you can use, but you must pay for those, too.
