An introduction to Hotel Orquidea

This hotel is a hive of activity come summer. Because it’s a Familyclub Xtra hotel, it’s stuffed with fun and games from May ’til October, so there’s never a dull moment for the kids.

But there’s more going for it than just our Familyclub Xtra offerings. The setting is brilliant. Tucked along the shoreline in beautiful gardens, its lawns and palms glide down to a sandy beach. And the views from the main building are quite something, with lots of rooms peeping over the palms to the ocean.

Before you get to the beach though, the pool area will stop you in your tracks. Dotted with palms, its three big pools and terraces are great for chilling out. There’s more by way of watery activities, but more with adults in mind, at the spa and wellness centre. As well as an activity pool and whirlpool tubs, it offers sauna and beauty treatments to get you feeling seriously smoothed and soothed.

The food’s pretty good, too. The most popular lunchtime spot is the pool bar, with its picture windows overlooking the sands. The hotel is also noted for its breakfasts. We’re talking huge choices of cold meats, cheeses and pastries plus all the cooked classics like bacon and eggs. Show-cooking is a feature at breakfast and dinner, too. And when you want a change, there’s an a la carte grill in the gardens as well.

The split-level rooms, meanwhile, are fairly simple and come with accessories like satellite TVs and kettles. Alternatively, you can upgrade to more spacious family suites or superior rooms with flatscreen TVs and DVD players.

Lastly, there’s the location to think about. The hotel is in Bahia Feliz, one of Gran Canaria’s sleepier resorts. But that doesn’t mean you’re short of things to do. There’s a shopping centre with restaurants and bars right opposite the hotel. Plus if you want to visit other places, a nearby bus stop offer regular services to Playa Del Ingles and Las Palmas.
