Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Radisson Blu Resort Gran Canaria suits families and couples who want sea views from their own balcony, plenty of pool time and an easy walk to Anfi del Mar. Guests often praise the friendly staff, the gardens above the sea and the spacious sea-view rooms. However, parts of the hotel are showing their age, many find the beds too soft and the buffet limited, and the connecting doors between some rooms let noise through.
Guests score it 9.0 out of 10 — the average across the 29 hotels we list on Gran Canaria is 8.8.
- The resort is built in terraces down the slope, so most rooms and suites have a large balcony facing the Atlantic. Some premium rooms also have a private outdoor hot tub.
- The pool area sits in gardens above the sea, with a saltwater pool, a second outdoor pool, children's pools and plenty of sunbeds and parasols.
- Several guests note that some rooms, junior suites and bathrooms are worn and due for renovation. It is worth asking for a renovated room when you book.
- Dinner is mainly a themed buffet, which many find small and repetitive. The rooftop grill restaurant is the alternative, but it costs extra.

Rooms & which one to pick
Our tip: Couples should go for the Premium Room with Sea View, which has a hot tub on the balcony. Families get far more space in the one-bedroom suites, which add a sofa bed and a fully equipped kitchen, while larger groups can choose between the two- and three-bedroom suites.
