Seven Hotel & Wellness - Gay Men Only

Lovely place to stay. Staff were lovely and food was amazing! Nice safe friendly environment and would definitely recommend!

This was my first visit to Seven having visited the island many times before. First impressions were excellent. All staff were polite and courteous. The room was clean and modern. The grounds are beautiful and spread out - never a problem to get a sun-bed. The gym is small but perfect for a holiday fitness plan. Breakfast is included and has everything you’d expect. Small touches like staff remembering your coffee preference adds to the experience. I wasn’t half-board but I did eat at the hotel most evenings. I can highly recommended the ‘poke bowls’; I enjoyed the chicken and tuna ones. Exquisitely presented, filling and healthy if you don’t want the usual bloated feeling after a holiday dinner. All that whilst looking out to the mountains in the distance. If you want the lively Yumbo then staff will call a taxi for you for €6. Or you can walk if feeling energetic, about 25mins. I can’t recommend this hotel enough if you appreciate a more classy stay in Gran Canaria - I’ve already rebooked for later in the year.

SORRY : Almost Perfect but NOT. So, this is our second visit to Seven in two years. As you are collected from the airport by private transfer, the only way to do this, arranged by the hotel, you arrive on a warm evening with an even warmer welcome from the staff. A glass of champagne greets you and you move to your suit, unpack and relax. We opted for the suite again and didn’t regret it. Large spacious and well designed. A shower for 4 or more if that’s your preference. Exceptionally clean and of course a good coffee machine and fridge. Breakfast is as always really good,although at busy times the service didn’t meet our experience of last year. Kind staff who are attentive most of the time. Little touches we missed such as they remembered our favourite coffee last year and juice and our names last year, this year not so, and at times the service felt rushed and forgotten about some mornings. The little touches at seven are missing, small but important. This is what makes seven the place it once was. The name and coffee are not the important parts, the lack of attention was the part we missed. We don’t expect it but that’s the difference when the service is beyond your expectations. The day time this year was very different to last year at the resort. Most days relaxing by the pool started well with the hangovers of some of the other guests providing tranquility and peace. This was NOT every day but certainly a lot more often. By lunch time however with hangovers fading, rising like the sun , (not all of the guests), the noise level of ‘pool drinking’ and small groups of guests, meant keep your headphones charged to soften the noise of the staggering few. Far from spoiling anything, it just turns off the relaxed atmosphere to which we had enjoyed so much last year. This was not everyday,but certainly by late afternoon even in the room it could be heard. Party people we are also, but even we need a break from Ibiza sometimes. The afternoon atmosphere changed from last year from the relaxing chilled vibes, soaking up the sun to more of a beach party for those needing a ‘top up’ from the night before. It resembled at times a booze cruise only, no boat or sea. We are NOT anti social people, and indeed enjoy a drink or three, but at times it became uncomfortable as you try to lay and relax. The mix of people this year seemed very different. We opted to leave the resort most afternoons to avoid it, a real shame. Moreover the staff became more tired and seemed less in control. The vibe and overall feel, seems less welcoming unless your famous on Instagram or such like, or even better have an entourage of people around you as was the case for a small but less discreet group who failed to drink water and opted for other sources of self enjoyment. Their hungover agony was at times pleasurable to watch. The danger here is that this once elegant, relaxed and sensational place becomes a hangout for those wanting the bigger and less shall we s
