We had a short break here for my friend's 40th. We are all impressed with the overall quality of the hotel. Although, the beds are not doubles (twins pushed together) and were on wheels... Not ideal for a couple in my opinion and we actually fell between the bed during the night. However, the pool area, food and drinks and hotel aesthetics was brilliant. Special thanks to Fiona and Miguel on the animation team for putting on a great immursive show and the beer pong competion. They were great fun and very personable staff. We would definitely return to this hotel. My friend was gifted birthday chocolates and wine in her room which was a lovely touch.

Came here with the family for a week. We got the all inclusive package. The vibe around the place is really nice. Everyone is chilled and the staff is friendly. We got 2 family rooms and we were on the second floor. I had no view from my room (only a roof) but I didn’t want to complain as the second floor was quite convenient. The rooms are recently renovated and they’re nice however the other spaces look quite tired - especially the volleyball court and the kids area aboritos. The good part is that you can always find food however after a while it quite boring as it’s almost the same food every day. The only night where they’ve put an effort was the Valentine’s Day. When I went to other all inclusive places there were multiple restaurants and you could book dinner in different places. Here is only one restaurant and it’s mostly a canteen vibe, very loud. The animation team was very active and they’ve put lots of effort during the day. I recommend this place for families with kids as they have activities to keep them busy. For the price we paid we were happy with what we’ve got.

Perfectly nice package holiday hotel & facilities. Some parts of the hotel looked a bit tired but our room looked fresh & clean. Food was fine, always found something nice to eat although the puddings were a bit basic. Big shout out to Sophie in kids club who was excellent with our 7 year old. Also thanks to Natalia on reception who sorted a room move for us as initially we were opposite a very loud karaoke bar.

Wow. Can’t explain how good this place is, especially for the price. We’re right in the heart of the action of the Irish Centre in GC with great bars and restaurants around. The food has been mostly great, can’t complain at all for a 4 star. What I will say, as a grown adult, is the animation team are bloody brilliant. They are so much fun and they include absolutely everyone of all ages. It’s obviously a bit quiet in Jan, but they still put the effort in and bring the energy. JJ, Vivi, Miguel, Sophie et al are all brilliant. Overall the staff have been amazing, all very polite and appreciated my very broken attempt at speaking Spanish. I will definitely be returning here.

4/5 – Family stay, Summer 2024 If you are planning a stay at Abora Buenaventura by Lopesan Hotels, here is an important note regarding the pool area. The biggest downside we experienced was the situation with the sunbeds. Every morning, many guests placed towels on sunbeds as early as 7–8 AM and left for hours, sometimes returning only after lunch. My suggestion to the hotel: As a guest, I would recommend introducing a refundable towel-deposit system. Guests would “rent” towels and return them at checkout to get their deposit back. This would prevent towels from being left on sunbeds all day and ensure that everyone can enjoy the pool fairly. Implementing such a system could greatly improve the poolside experience and make the hotel even more enjoyable. Aside from this issue, we had a wonderful family holiday. The hotel is family-friendly, with plenty of activities for children. The all-inclusive food was excellent, with a wide variety of dishes. The staff were kind and helpful, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Our room was cleaned daily, always spotless, and well maintained. The evening entertainment was a highlight of our stay. We especially loved the Freddie Mercury/Queen tribute performance — absolutely fantastic! We have many videos and unforgettable memories from that show. The hotel is about a 10–15 minute walk to the beach, even with a stroller, which was perfectly manageable. The hotel itself is a bit older, but well maintained and comfortable. A minor note about drinks: many cocktails were pre-mixed and not very impressive, and the coffee included in the all-inclusive was average. However, you could purchase high-quality coffee or other drinks at the bar for a small extra fee. Despite the sunbed issue, we had a truly enjoyable family holiday. The combination of excellent food, fun activities for children, entertainment, and a clean, welcoming environment made our stay memorable. We would recommend this hotel to families looking for a relaxing and fun holiday. With a better sunbed system, it could easily achieve an even higher rating.
