Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Pretty clean beach ! You feel like you don’t want to leave it . In the morning I was always running around it and it made so comfortable

    We visit the outside of the building when on a day tour of Gran Canaria. So time did not allow us to do everything but that said we had a couple of hours in the area which is full of interesting buildings/churches. Make sure to pop to the left hand side of the building to see an interesting statue.

    Went here as part of our all day tour. The old town is very interesting and well worth visiting. If you are going to go up the cathedral tower than allow enough time to include it.

    Arrived quite early on Sunday and enjoyed the quiet walk through the botanical gardens. Easy going with just a few steps. Loads to see.
    By the time we left, just before noon, there were no parking spaces free and it was quite busy.
    Best of all, it’s free and well worth a look.

    Came here on a Wednesday afternoon. Not too crowded. Tickets can be buy on site. Tickets per adult: €27, SGD38. The aquarium has 3 sections: the jungle which included reptiles etc., the Playa beach which has a huge cylindrical tank with sea creatures and the deep sea which had huge deep sea creatures. There are seats around to rest and restaurants and eateries within. Took about 1.5 hours slow walk and some resting in between to complete.

    With 1000 meters in diameter and 200 meters depth this place is a perfect contribution to take a chance for some physical training and to spend between 1,5 and two hours exploring old volcanic crater. It is full of aloes and different type of cactus, the road down is a perfect walk, and climbing back on the top is a good cardio exercise.

    Calle Triana is the wide pedestrianised street leading from Vegueta to Triana, the two most interesting districts of Las Palmas.
    The upper storeys of the buildings are brightly coloured fascinating old colonial buildings, the ground floor of the buildings are high-end retail outfits and restaurants.
    Lovely to wander down, take in the sights and people watch.

    Would definitely recommend visiting. Perfect for any age as there are lots of interactive displays. The planets rooms were fun with a ball pit and lots of photo opportunities. The museum is about 3-4 floors and you could easily spend hours there. Wasn’t too busy, went on my own and didn’t feel awkward. Tickets are £6 but if you have student discount, only £2.

    Amazing views. Perfect in the morning to admire the views. I recommend after that visit to take the route (with breathtaking scenery) on way to the village of Tejeda. Reminded me of a smaller version of The Grand Canyon. Tejeda is beautiful to walk around too.

    This is an interesting old church which is set to one side of the city square, If you want to go up the tower then make sure that you leave yourself enough time .

    We went by the park on our way from the cruise port to the Vegueta. It was a cloudy day so the park wasn’t very crowded and it was quite nice and well maintained.
