Hotel Orquidea

An introduction to Hotel Orquidea

Look one way and it's all sapphire seas. Look the other and it's all swaying palms. That's the Hotel Orquidea for you, in a nutshell. Sitting right on the coast, its gardens and lawns run right down to the beach. And the ocean views from here are spectacular to say the least. It's the perfect choice for those after a classic sun-sea-and-sand combo. Sun-worship aside, if you're into watersports you'll be in your element - the breezes here are great for windsurfing.

But there's more to this place than Kodak-worthy horizons and golden sands. The Orquidea's set in the sleepy resort of Bahia Feliz, so it's ideal for peaceful family holidays. Shops and bars are within easy walking distance though. And regular buses run up to Las Palmas when you want to up the ante a bit. But generally speaking, this is a tranquil corner of Gran Canaria that's a big family hit.

So much so, in fact, that in the summer, the Orquidea forms part of our FamilyClub Xtra range. There's a creche. A special children's buffets. A Thomson Kidzone club. And that's just for starters. Plus there's plenty on offer for grown ups to get their teeth into, too. Think activities like volleyball, water polo, minigolf and tennis.

Of course, you may want to give all that a miss and simply relax. In which case, pull up a sun lounger by the lake-sized pool, which is actually separated into three. Flanked by sun loungers, lawns and a snack bar, it's just the ticket when you want to catch some rays. As to the bedrooms, they also tick the right boxes. Split-level, modern and spacious - most come with a sea view on the side, too.
