Our recent stay at Lopesan Villa del Conde Resort & Thalasso in Gran Canaria was a delightful experience, blending luxury with a touch of local charm. Here’s a detailed five-point review based on our visit:

1. Stunning Architecture and Ambiance

From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the resort’s unique architecture. Designed to resemble a traditional Canarian village, the resort features charming buildings, cobbled streets, and a central plaza that gives it a quaint, picturesque feel. The reception area, modelled after a village church, is particularly impressive and sets the tone for the rest of the stay. The grounds are meticulously maintained, with lush gardens and scenic views adding to the serene atmosphere. This resort feels like a small, self-contained town where every corner invites exploration.

2. Exceptional Accommodation

The rooms at Lopesan Villa del Conde are spacious, well-appointed, and designed with comfort in mind. We stayed in a deluxe room with a balcony that offered stunning views of the ocean. The room featured modern amenities such as air conditioning, a minibar, and a large bathroom with a separate shower and bathtub. Housekeeping did an excellent job, ensuring the room was spotless every day. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax and unwind after a day of activities.

3. Diverse Dining Options

The dining experience at the resort is varied and generally of high quality. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, with a wide selection of continental and cooked options, including made-to-order omelettes. For dinner, the Alpendre restaurant stood out with its excellent waiter service and delicious dishes, offering a more intimate and refined dining experience. However, the OVO restaurant, while upscale, had some room for improvement in terms of portion sizes and food temperature. The poolside snack bar, although serving good food, was often understaffed, leading to longer wait times, which was a bit of a letdown.

4. Recreational Activities and Facilities

The resort boasts an impressive array of facilities catering to all age groups. There are several pools, including a heated one and a shallow pool for children, which were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunny weather. The fitness centre is well-equipped, and the spa offers a range of treatments, including massages and beauty services, which provided a perfect way to unwind. For those interested in more active pursuits, the resort offers tennis courts, mini golf, and various water sports. The evening entertainment and kids’ club ensure that guests of all ages are entertained throughout their stay.

5. Service and Staff

The staff at Lopesan Villa del Conde are generally friendly and professional, contributing significantly to the pleasant atmosphere of the resort. From the reception to housekeeping and restaurant staff, most interactions were positive, with staff members being helpful and courteous. However, there were occasional lapses, particularly at the poolside snack bar where understaffing was evident during busy times. Despite this, the overall service was commendable, with many staff members going out of their way to ensure a comfortable stay.

Overall, our stay at Lopesan Villa del Conde Resort & Thalasso was a memorable experience, marked by beautiful surroundings, comfortable accommodations, and a wide range of activities. While there were minor issues, particularly with the dining service at peak times, these did not significantly detract from the overall enjoyment of our stay. We would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing holiday in Gran Canaria.

For anyone considering a visit, Lopesan Villa del Conde offers a perfect blend of relaxation and entertainment in a setting that is both luxurious and authentically Canarian.
