Maspalomas, Club Green Oasis Review

Overall Rating

Clean apartments. Nice pool areas. Hot weather.

None.

We have just returned from Club Green Oasis in Gran Canaria on the 9/10/05, and I cannot say anything bad about this place. We had an excellent time. 4 adults and 2 children (3 generations). The pool that we used (the middle (b) I think) was lovely and warm, which is unusual for the Canaries, but even I used it. It was really clean. Nothing else to say, but it was great, and my little boy (5) loved every minute of it. We were not fighting for sunbeds, as there were plenty, some were a bit worn though with splits in them. The reception were very helpful if you needed them. Food was good. The norm for all inclusive. No nasty surprises. Clean, and the waiter/ess' were really helpful, and cleared tables asap. The all inclusive package was fine. The beer was good as informed by my husband and stepfather. You can only get 2 drinks at a time though. Free ice creams for the kids (mini-milk type choc or vanilla). The snack bar was a little poor, but we never ate anything from there, but you could get the usual chips, burgers, hot dogs, meat and salad for sandwiches etc. The rooms were different to normal, as the bedroom were upstairs, which is quite a novelty for abroad. The rooms were kept spotlessly clean, and the maid came 5 times I think. They did look a bit tired, and need a bit of an update, but apart from that they were fine. They were updating some rooms whilst we were there, but the noise was kept to an absolute minimum, and they only worked on them for a couple of hours during the afternoon. It didn't stop me dropping off round the pool whilst they were working though.
The entertainment was OK too. They had an animation team on during the day round the main pool, which we didn't actually join, but they seemed to have lots of activities, and I think they had a kids club but mine never bothered. They had a mini disco for the kids at 8.30 every evening. Then the usual BINGO, which I hate, and whilst we were there they had bands and shows that came in i.e. dancing girls, a band, and something else which I can't remember. They also did a tribute to Saturday Night Fever, and one for The Blues Brothers which I didn't like, but the guy who was in charge was quite good as John Travolta. He certainly had the moves and the looks too!! Don't get excited girls, he left on our last night to go to work somewhere else. The only thing that drove me mad, was the hotel had quite a lot of Germans, and when the animation team spoke, they seemed to take more notice of the Germans than speaking English, so sometimes we didn't know what was going on. Apart from that, we had a fab holiday. The weather was kind to us, and even hit 87 degrees one day. We only had 1/2 a day of cloud the whole holiday.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone! We truly had a great time, and are looking to go back next year.
Hope you have a great time too!
