We booked our three week stay at the Gran Ventana through Thomson and flew from Gatwick. Apart from the cramped seats on the Thomson flight, this was the best holiday of my life. The staff at the Gran Ventana are incredibly polite and bend over backwards to help you. The currency used there is primarily US Dollars but they will... more

We just got home today.. Great place for teenagers. They cater to teenagers and really like the fact that they all seem to get along. We went from Christmas day to New Years Eve. Great time to travel! The staff was helpful but the service was somewhat slow. It took them 2 hours to get more towels.. And when they... more

If you recognise yourself, tough. Flight Good, on time both ways. We flew Premium class because it... more

We arrived at the hotel in the evening and were greeted by very friendly staff that couldn't have been any more attentive. Our room was lovely (in the catalina building) and couldn't fault it either. It was cleaned daily and the mini fridge was topped up too. The hotel all in all was beautifully clean and all the staff were... more

wasn't sure the holiday was off to a great start when we got suck at Gatwick airport for 6 hours. It would seem that de-icing a runway in December isn't top of the to do list! However once on board the flight was pleasant enough. We arrived at the Gran Ventana at about 10pm and were very tired by this... more

Well the GV is an older and smaller resort, and it's fantastic. The food was absolutely great! Very impressed with the people and the cleanliness of the resort. There was a perfect children's pool for the little ones and the beach was fantastic. This was my son's first trip away and he really enjoyed it. Stay away from SUNWING! Horrible... more
