We arrived at the Tryp Gran Sol at 6 am and didn't expect to be able to check in. Although they weren't expecting us so early they quickly arranged for a room. The view was incredible - if I remember right, we were on the 24th floor and could see all over the city, the harbour and the sea. It... More

We stayed at this hotel at the end of October. We were there for the start of the Volvo Ocean Race. We were hardly in the hotel except to sleep. I agree with the other reviews about the rooms being very dated and needing major upgrades. The views however were spectacular, and the locations was about as good as I... More

I too was pleasantly surprised by this hotel as I read some reviews a couple of days before I left and was a bit concerned. The rooms do need a good refurb as they are tired and dated.

A talk with the reception... More

The overall experience was very... More

Stayed here for two nights whislt on a course - recommended by organisers otherwise would have chosen elsewhere. The rooms were very dated and massively in need of a major refurbishment. It was a bed for two nights and the breakfast was acceptable, by Spanish standards, but would not rush to stay here again. More
