"We've stayed at the Hotel Don Miguel many times over the last few years.
We stayed here this time for 7 nights half board (breakfast and dinner, drinks not included)
We like the hotel, it has a good feel to it.
It's a very busy & often full occupancy hotel, which must be a great plus for Servatur Hotels & Resorts.
We love the adults only concept.
The cleanliness of the hotel everywhere is good.
The food is always good and the staff are helpful and friendly (Patrick is very friendly)
Nice...
"Stayed here for two nights on my final stop in Gran Canaria.
The basics are solid. Staff were professional, and the hotel was clean and well maintained. No issues there. I also appreciated that underground parking was included.
That said, this property is clearly geared toward business travelers, not solo leisure stays. For what you get, it felt overpriced. The location is convenient for airport access if you have a car, but otherwise it’s not particularly appealing or enjoyable to spend time...
