Love this beech its amazing to watch the people walking along with no cares at all, lots of vending places to get refreshments too. Lovely vibe too the waves are huge too so be careful if you like to swim in the sea as its a very strong current too. All in all its beautiful and you have dunes too but we never got that far but looked amazing too. Nice walk along the prom too and plenty of shops along the way.

Amazing sand dunes location, like a mini Sahara 🏜️🏝️ Great for hiking and walks along the sea front which can be very breezy! Close to shops, hotels and restaurants for the perfect holiday 😎

A gorgeous place to spend a day out. A quite challenging walk throughout the warm sandy hills. Worth walking along the beach which can be much easier and approx 3miles stretch towards the Dunas. However, be aware of a nudist section which is right in the middle of the beach. If prefer to avoid, have to walk back of the section which is over sandy hills, can be very challenging. During a windy time sand is everywhere and big waves 🌊 in presence. Incredibly good sound from the Athletic ocean.

Nice beach! If its too windy you will be covered in sand... We had dinner on the boulevard nearby most nights and there is a lovely atmosphere all around.

Very beautiful n clean beach . Lot of parking n shops

One of the worst beaches Ive seen in Canary. Strong wind, slashing sand, super crowded, no shower...

Sunbeds with parasol is 7,50€ but if you are coming earlier have card with yourself or just give them 2,50€ for service 😉 There are also massage sellers, drinks, food etc. Waves can get pretty high so it's very fun in the water

We visited today, had prebooked the bus with the tickets, we went from Puerto rico & public bus takes over an hour because of all the stops, obviously cheaper, but the coach we went on only took about 35- 40 mins, dropped off at aqua park first. It is quite a leg stretch to cover all the park, but so worth it, I would say if you like birds then time it to see the exotic bird display first, then stay there for birds of prey straight after, we didn't (even though we had a photo of the times) it just didn't register, because it is a fair trek up to the top of the park, the birds of prey fly right out to the mountains & fly around in the cloud, such a wonderful back drop for it. The dolphins were absolutely wonderful, all looked well cared for as do all the animals. There is a lovely little aquarium as well as birds of all sorts, butterfly house, orchid house, reptiles of all sorts, snakes, lizards, crocodile, caiman, there are armadillos. Like anywhere else this is not a cheap option for a drink or snack or cooked food, but it is what it is, you can take water or drink with you, but when it is so hot it gets warm fairly quick. You can have photos taken with the different birds, & the dolphins(€25 for 1 photo,€35 for 2) not sure on the price of the birds. Definitely recommend it for a day out for all ages.

The staff was super professional. We didn't wait in a queue anywhere. Plenty of toilets, a place to eat and the shows they organize are worth watching. Go in the morning and plan for a full day there. There are so many animals we have never seen before and everything was clean and well taken care of.

Such a hidden gem! 🐬💙 We planned a quick visit and ended up spending almost the whole day — so much to see and do! The dolphin show was amazing, the park was super clean, and it’s so easy to find your way around. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip! 🌿✨

Absolutely wonderful!! The park is wonderfully set out and really sympathetic in keeping with rocky surroundings. There are lots of animals to see and many you can get very close to without them being in an enclosure. The shows are all great including birds of prey, dolphins and close encounters with reptiles and birds that you can touch. All the animals look very well looked after and the staff are polite, friendly and proud to work there. This was a real highlight of our trip.

Had a great time. Obviously the dolphins were a must see,lots of fun and very well choreographed. And the free flying bird display was very good,never got on with the idea of birds being cooped up in cages but here thay get to fly free three times a day. Seeing a flock of macaws flying around the mountain side was a beautiful experience.lots of other things to see and do and animals generally look well cared for.like all zoos food and drink over priced but can't be cheap place to run so let them off that and set in great location.

Next level especially the dolphin show just WOW! Beautiful scenery, cactus garden and interactive shows/enclosures. We fed the Emus for €2 but I would avoid with children because they were quite sharp on the hands but hilarious experience. The birds were lovely, photo opportunity’s and little stands around to grab a snack/drink. Easy bus to get there and taxi rank with lots of taxis outside to get home easier if the bus doesn’t arrive.

Palmitos Park is THE must see when visiting Gran Canaria. The whole park is well curated, there are so many different types of birds and reptiles one can see. Be sure to take note of the timetables of the shows, because these are the defining experiences of Palmitos Park. The dolphin show is incredible, a special experience. The exotic birds and birds of prey shows were also very exciting and interactive. Make sure to grab a hat ;) The hosts were also very charismatic and fun. Lastly, the show towards the exit (birds, snakes) was very nice and a great ending to the visit. There are many great photo opportunities in the park that I am very glad to have taken. We spent around 6 hours visiting the entire park. Make sure to bring water, and food to eat in the picnic area. The food prices inside the park are steep. The ticket price is €38, and a photo is about €12, but the prices are definitely worth it for such a cool park.

One of the most unique spots on the island. Suitable for all age groups. Breathtaking sunset views from the dune ridges. Sunset (in October) was between 6 and 7 Highly recommend taking a stroll down the beach to the light house. The sun sets right behind it with spectacular views

Amazing place... Other wolrly dunes , behind a long beach.. . There's a mix of naturist and clothed visitors, but nobody seems to care and it works well.. you could wonder for hours either clothed or not.. .. the dunes themselves are quite difficult to walk through, especially when it's hot, so make sure you take plenty of water...

I would never have thought that such a natural refuge could exist right in the middle of a tourist hotspot. And even if it did, I wouldn’t have expected it to be so pleasantly uncrowded (well, except for the beach). But the dune area is large enough that even when others are walking there, it never feels crowded. In some parts you don’t see anyone at all. Thankfully, most people respect the rule not to leave the official paths, helping to preserve the nature. You can easily spend two or three hours exploring the area.

Incredibly beautiful but beware if you go w a tour. We were given just 10-15 min and that's not even enough to go to the toilet as there is only one female cubicle for the public loo. There are no souvenir shops and many ppl are illegally running around the dunes, which is irritating. Go when its overcast otherwise this is too hot and only one cafe to sit down. No parking. There is literally nothing to buy or enjoy here other than to walk the three designated routes.

A challenging walk throughout the warm sandy hills. Worth walking along the beach which can be much easier and approx 3miles stretch. However, be aware as will come across a nudist section which is right in the middle of the beach. During a windy time sand is everywhere and big waves 🌊 in presence.

This is a beautiful protected area. It really did surprise me how large the area is. It was a shame to see the human ‘effect’ of tampering on some of the dunes with hand written names - it did take away from the experience. There are signs that suggest you shouldn’t walk along the dune tops to preserve the dunes, from the beachside however you can access the dunes and be respectable to the areas by walking alongside the dunes rather than over them.

A small desert on an island — such an amazing place! There are several beaches nearby and plenty of spots to eat or grab a quick snack, something for every taste. The sunsets and sunrises are absolutely beautiful. If you go on a sunny day, especially when the sun is high, make sure to wear something on your feet so the sand doesn’t burn, cover your head, and take some water with you!

Visited the shopping centre during day as didn't feel appropriate to take kids in the evening reading some of the previous reviews, probably the right call! So this review solely based on going during the day and not seeing some of the 'magic' that others have mentioned! The shopping centre is like a maze of different shops with many cafes, bars and restaurants. No idea if we managed to walk round all parts of it as we was up and down different stairs. Seemed like a good place if you want to get some souvenirs or a cheap football shirt - we certainly found the place a bit different...! Wasn't particularly busy when we went either (mid afternoon).

Stay upstairs if your shopping. Go downstairs and see a fantastically different bit of culture. We didn't stay late. The usual load of tut shops are waiting upstairs and around the perimeter for the whole family. Get the shutters up on the closed premises, the fountain working again and this place will be extra lit Gran Can.

We visited the Yumbo 7 times mainly to eat. Saw some drag artists which was good. We went on Fetish week which we didn't realise it was that week until we got there. It was extremely busy and boy it was very different from our normal holiday. There's lots of stalls and shops so if you like shopping it's good for that. We also played mini golf.

Great place to have fun in an afternoon You have a lot of stuffs to do there We were on a bar named Eden and the waiter there told us about an offert with 2 Coctails pro person only 20€ We found it good so we took it , we had 4 Sex on the beach with NO ALCOOHOL at all So we order 2 shots to take the alcoohol we didnt have :...

great night out, lots of gay people, everyone is amazing, you feel really safe as a girl, many drag queens, good prices for cocktails just a tip: pls dont sleep at the beach after a night out there

A meeting Place for everyone. Bars, pubs and dance club. Less suitable for families with small children in the evening

Really loved this place. Was here years ago in the winter pride month and was a lot less hectic in September. Best burger king on the land there too 🤣🤣🤣

We had a fab day out here - 2 adults, 1 tall 6 year old - her favourite day of the holiday. We got on all the slides within 10 mins max. We visited on Monday 1st sept. No problem filling a whole day here. We took our own food after seeing reviews on the cost and quality of food, although had coffee and a waffle from their and were perfectly fine and not to pricey. Glad we took water shoes as this makes getting around a lot easier and can be worn on all rides. We had water proof phone cases and only had to leave our phones at the bottom of the slides with the mats (which makes sense as you lay head first on your tummy, we could take them on all others. We paid for a locker for our valuables but left all our bags with our sun loungers and these were fine. Toilets and changing facilities were good and clean. Not sure why so many negative reviews, this almost put us off but really glad we visited in the end! Prices are pretty much what you expect in these tourist places. Excellent day out!

Ah good place when it’s not to crowded. Have been here before, queuing 45 min for everything, this time was close to no queuing. With older kids you’re pretty done after 4 hours when they done everything several times. Worth to know, food is a total scam, short food for high prices where they show something at pictures that they don’t serve cause adds are extra even if it’s in display pictures. On that staff acting rude in the restaurant, they only survive cause they have monopoly

We booked our tickets online for 91€ total (2 adults + 1 child, age 3). The ticket only covers entry and access to the slides, but here’s the catch: almost every activity has long waiting lines. If you want to skip the queue, you’re pushed into buying a “fast-line” bracelet for 13.50€ per person—and even then, you’ll still wait if it’s crowded. Feels like double-charging. Most slides are only suitable for people between 1.20m–1.50m, which means younger children (like my 3-year-old) can only access a handful of attractions. Out of 18 activities, only 4 or 5 were usable for us, and most of which with an adult. Parking lot costs 5€. Once inside, prepare to pay even more: • 5€ per sun lounger (per person!)—something that should really be included in the ticket price. • 7€ per locker if you don’t want to carry your valuables around. • Food is ridiculously overpriced and very limited. Expect to pay 50–60€ for a basic lunch for a family of three. The park itself is large, with a decent kids’ area, and my 3-year-old did enjoy it, and small pool for adults. But overall, the place feels like a money trap—everything costs extra, waiting times are frustrating, and the value for money is terrible.

Aqualand Visited middle of August 2025 its not overly bad I wouldn't return though. €35 per person for a fast pass is extremely expensive ( €140 for my family of 4 ) after spending €190 for return coach and entry. Food is expensive roughly €80 for 3 burgers, chips and drinks, 2 portions of fries and 1 cheese bites. You could complete the park in less than 2 hours but with the ques you are spending more time queuing than you are on the rides. I've been to parks I'd happily return to but for me this is a 1 time thing

It's a pretty good water park plenty of fun rides, came out of season so no waiting. Lots of extra charges on top of the e39 per person entrance. I.e. 8 for a locker 8 for a sun lounger etc. which is a shame as makes you feel like you are being ripped off. Lots of nice cats tho.

We visited aqualand outside school holidays and had a great day. The ride wait time was at most 5 people ahead of you but mainly the walk up the many steps. It is an expensive place to visit. Food very expensive which was expected for an attraction but lockers are 7 euros, a sun bed is 5 euros per bed to use all day and if you want a set of digital photos and one print, it's another 40 euros however many pics you get which was too much for digital files. Drinks were about 5 to 7 euros for a cola or slushie. We did have a very enjoyable day only regretting one slide that felt dangerous. You went down on your front and hurt both myself and wife in the tummy as we came down. I would recommend avoiding that one. Overall it was a good day, but the additional costs and that slide took down our rating. Good recommendation is to bring your own food and drinks.

Really enjoyed our trip to Aqualand. Have been to Gran Can several times in recent years and this was our first trip here, and I was pleasantly surprised. We booked our tickets as part of the 2 park package (Palmitos Park) and got a sizeable discount rather than booking both parks separately. We didn't have to queue for longer than a couple of minutes to enter. The lockers are a bit on the small side, so be mindful when packing a bag. Also if you have a waterproof pouch, bring that with you to keepnl your locker code (which is printed on paper) safe. The food is a bit on the pricy side, so bring some snacks and then get a few things from the food stall to supplement and that'll keep you going for the day. We got the 70 bus up from Campo de Golf and it was very quick, 10 mins or so, and very reasonable price wise. The amount of rides is really impressive and kept me and both my boys entertained all day. The wave pool was a favourite, every hour on the hour. All in all, an enjoyable trip and we will go back the next time we are in GC.

Amazing place at sunset to take photos. Lovely little pier/wall going into the sea where you can sit and take amazing photos. The sunset all along the coast right is outstanding. There is also lots of shops and restaurants to sit and enjoy the evening. It's a lot more upmarket and peaceful that other places in the area.

Amazing place to visit, spectacular views. The sky bar is truly breathtaking at sunset

Beautiful to visit with a gorgeous view of the Ocean. Short walk away from the beach and restaurants. The town is very clean and looked after. It was very very hot the day we went so we would have loved to have went back in the night time to see it as well. It’s definitely worth a visit! Loved it 😍

Perfect location for a day at the beach - great restaurants- lovely stores to browse- fantastic dunes - lighthouse museum and viewing area - what’s not to like!

Walked from Playa del Inglés to here and was an achievement alone reaching the lighthouse. Walked a total of 6.5km along the beach. Fabulous views, 28 degree heat, no complaints!

Such a lovely place and captured some amazing sunsets. Lovely restaurants and bars

A beautiful place, surrounding well maintained, nice and clean. Can become very busy.
