Las Canteras Beach Tours and Activities

The hotel is both imposing and stunning, but sits well amidst beautifully landscaped pools and tropical gardens of swaying palms and parrots in the trees. Best location, close to lots of shopping/restaurants and the beach and dunes. The Unique Club breakfasts were fantastic, but overall the food offering is rather average, but the prices are fairly reasonable for a hotel of this class. Most of the staff are very friendly and helpful.

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.

Attractive setting, helpful and efficient staff. Located near a good choice of shops and restaurants. Mattresses too soft for me, pillows to “springy” felt as though they were filled with cut up foam. Sun loungers did not have cushions which made them difficult sit on for extended periods.
