Apartamentos Koala Garden THe Home Collection

Me and my partner went for 3 days quick getaway for my birthday really enjoyed the place, yes there was a few cats hanging around like previous reviews but nothing that put us off as soon as they came near food buffet the staff waved them back out. Our room was lovely and clean we had an amazing view. Staff all friendly and helpful couldn't fault them and the food at the buffet was good always something there for everyone but joeys Italian restaurant what a gem and highlight for our tea. All the food at joeys was fresh and we tried everything the chef there made it was all amazing. The chef was a lovely man who nothing was to much trouble for he was willing to please and cook for you. If you visit I would book at joeys and try his food is not to be missed. Entertainment was also good something on every night, kids club Entertainment was fair play to them really good always dancing by pool keeping children Entertained with games. Only thing we can negatively comment on is not enough options for alcohol no gin available we did ask pool bar and restaurant only vodka and some cocktails options with one larger one rose one red wine and one white few more options wouldn't go a miss and some gin but wouldn't put us off visiting again.

We had a week at this hotel 6th January, we were greeted at reception by a lovely fella very pleasant the only down side was there was no where to get any milk or food.our room was very big very clean we had a lovely pool view, the only down side was the kitchen would need more side boards to per pair food. Unfortunately we couldn’t get a late check out so had to hang around reception area waiting on are transfer, the only down side to that was the girl on reception that day was not very nice or helpful with anything we had ask about. We would definitely go back to these appointments.

Stayed at this hotel with friends for a long weekend mid November. The hotel is okay for the price. We agreed the hotel was 3 stars rather than the official rating of 4 stars. The hotel is located about 3km from the main town and beach. There is a Spar supermarket located across the road which is well stocked. Pros: - Large rooms - Low cost for an all inclusive hotel (£75 per night) - Decent WiFi - Decent food in the Italian restaurant compared to the buffet restaurant (you can book via a QR code). - Clean communal areas Cons: - Repetitive food and often lukewarm in the restaurant (literally the same food every night) - Repetitive music (the same 3 tracks being played all day and every day). - Housekeeping cancelling most days for no reason. - Cats everywhere - Only a couple of bar tables and stools if you just want a drink (unless you sit in the restaurant area). - If you do go to the Italian restaurant there are only two sittings (6pm and 7.45pm) and they will want you to leave within an hour. The hotel has a number of sub areas with smaller pools and separate bars, so worth walking around the whole complex. You can easily get a taxi into town from reception or the taxi rank at the top of the road (€8) Personally I would return to the hotel based on the decent rooms and low cost.

Just reluctantly returned home from a fabulous week here. Great value all inclusive with plenty of fresh food and local drinks on tap. We loved the choice of salads and freshly grilled meats (very healthy), which were then followed up with a great selection of desserts (very unhealthy!). The hotel and grounds were really well maintained and clean and it was obvious that a lot of hard work goes into keeping standards high. The staff were all lovely and Gaby at reception helped us get the perfect room in a nice quiet location for maximum chilling. This was the second time that we have stayed there and we will definitely return again next year. Thank you for a lovely holiday :)

The best holiday I’ve had! The only place I’ve been sad to leave, the food is very good with plenty of choice, the beds are very comfy and rooms are clean and well equipped, the pools are great, the best part about this hotel is the entertainment team. Always there putting a smile on everyone’s face, playing music, games, keeping kids and adults entertained with certificates to win. Special mention goes out to Tania, always smiling and THE best dancer I’ve seen ❤️ Will be booking again for next year and after that and after that Perfect holiday destination!

Well where do I start !! I booked this as a relaxing break for myself and adult son . It was far from relaxing. Firstly this hotel is no where near the 4star that jet 2 rated it. On arrival just after 9pm no food available as restaurants closed On entering our room we were greeted by the most dreadful smell of a freshly hand painted shower. The bathroom stunk to high heaven. Must of been done the day before I requested twin beds and we had a double bed instead. Noise from holiday world bar thumping until 2am. Lucky enough we found out it was just 2 nights a week at the moment. The room overlooked a busy road. Onto the restaurant way too small for the amount of people and resembled a school canteen. We had to lay our own table of cutlery as they didn’t seem to do this in between guests . Food was often cold as they put hot stuff on top of cold. Food was repetitive and was the same most nights . There is only one bar and only staffed by one person. So again queuing to get your drink in a plastic cup. This hotel is more for kids def not if you want a relaxing holiday. Pool towels available if you can find the lifeguard to get one. Then was told can only have a clean one once a week. This is meant to be a 4 star hotel !! No drinks available between 9am until 11am until the bar opens. Water only available shocking as we were all inclusive and no drink available. This hotel was ruined after day 3 completely by a large party of people approx 40 Whom of which deficated in the pool . Putting the biggest pool out of action and taped off due to contamination. Since arriving home I have been very poorly and as I’m writing this I have a drs appt booked for today. Def not a hotel I would recommend and jet 2 need to downgrade it. It’s most certainly not a 4 star. Stay away .

We went self catering, the apartment was old dated shower head coming off the wall had to hold when showering , no hair dryer, air con was diabolical ,had to borrow a fan it took 2 attempts to try and get one ,it was dirty ,cooking facilities was 2 rings 1 microwave and right next to a sink was the two rings to cook off , couldn’t tell what they was on as the on off and numbers around the dial wasn’t there ,no where to put any plates ,no table or chairs; couldn’t higher a towel or join in with the entertainment as it was only for all inclusive guests felt very unwelcome by the hotel staff broken tiles dirty fridge wall and floors and curtains was dirty , defo would not go back ever again and I have all the photos to prove it

Booked 2 self catering apartments as a family of 6 & it didn’t live up to its 4* rating sadly. There was some issues, dodgy dangerous plug socket, some furniture needs replacing ie coffee table had chips all over it, showers flooded the bathrooms every time someone showered & no cleaner came to one apartment which meant rubbish bin wasn’t emptied which resulted in cockroaches & we had to get the rubbish out ourselves! In all fairness to the hotel after complaining, the plug socket & cleaning did get sorted out. There was also a drainage smell which wasn’t very nice on occasions outside the apartments as you walked to & from. The apartments were ok to make breakfast & light foods but was still hard work as there wasn’t any side space to even put a plate down. The most compact kitchen area I’ve ever come across but good selection of utensils to use. There is an on-site restaurant serving freshly cooked meals at certain times but we never used it as had plans out every day. Now on to the good parts. The pool area & pools was nice, the hotel reception had times on show for a daily free bus to the beach & aquapark once a day. There is a Spar with a good selection of stuff which is just across the road & holiday world is a 5min walk which is totally worth it for food, cocktails & the amusements. The food in the upstairs part of holiday world was of great choice, lots of different food outlets & good quality. The cocktail bar had great cocktails & music til late. There is not much in the area other than a fast food place across the road (Pepe Cheringo) & holiday world but we knew this before booking & that didn’t bother us as there are good bus links & we was hiring a car anyway. On a whole the apartment was a let down & not the 4* we was expecting & 2 other ladies I spoke to had the same issues & opinions but the holiday as a whole wasn’t so bad due to the fact we was out a lot, holiday world was around the corner & we had car to go down to Puerto Rico which was only 15mins car drive away & amazing

We enjoyed our holiday a lot. Firstly would like to say the staff, throughout the hotel were all brilliant and helpful. However this hotel could be so much more. 4 swimming pools but none accessible to our 5yr old as starting at 1.5m deep, so didn’t progress learning to swim. 2 babies pools for kids less than one year old. Beds not comfortable and two singles in a double room, not possible to sleep together. Food is okay and not a bad selection. Beer was awful, Amstel for some reason not the local Tropica, but without gas and not really drinkable. Same goes for the 3 wines on offer unless you add Sprite. WiFi extremely slow either in room, at pool or reception took 9 hours to upload a 30 min video to YouTube. Basically no way a 4 star hotel based on general quality but also hotel is without a lift (an IHCS requirement), which was a problem for older guests. We did enjoy as I think we were happy to be on holidays. Gran Canaria is superb, but we would not return to this hotel in a hundred years.
