Don't go to this hotel if you want a quiet break without children. We booked our stay for immediately after the Christmas holidays thinking it would be relatively quiet but no such luck. Some parents seem to think it's acceptable behaviour to let their children run wild in the bar and entertainment area ALL evening - even when the 'adult' entertainment is on.

Having said that, that was the only real downside for us. The staff were all lovely - helpful and friendly and very hard working. The food was plentiful and varied - our only critisism would be that some of it could have been served hotter. The entertainment was generally better than expected (excepting for the children trying their best to spoil it and all the audience participation events) . We were delighted with our little bungalow though. It was spacious and very comfortable. The only improvement we could think of to improve these would be a better choice of tv channels for English customers. We were limited to new channels only and we would have enjoyed a couple of quiet evenings in had we been able to get some tv we could understand. Everywhere was spotlessly clean too - you felt as though the staff took a pride in the place and the grounds were immaculate. The pools looked prety good but as non-swimmers we can't comment further.

All in all we had a lovely holiday but it's doubtful we'll return unless there was an adults only area where you could escape from the children.

Myself and my boyfriend are just back from 9 nights in Hotel Dunas. We had one of the villas for the duration of our stay and we really loved it. We were right at the end of the resort, far away from the main pool and the restaurant/entertainment areas which suited us perfectly. We stayed on a B & B basis, the breakfasts were really great, lots of choice, everything we ate was fresh and tasty.

We lay by the back pool most days, lovely and quiet and no problems getting a lounger as we were up early enough, had lunch in our villa and then would walk to the beach area for dinner (10 mins, people saying more must be slow walkers!). We loved the location, it was just right for us, even with the crooning every night from the restaurant next door, it was always finished by 10.30pm. Speaking of that restaurant, AVOID, the staff were rude and the food well below average. The food at the pool bar in Hotel Dunas was nice enough, nothing too fancy but did the job for us on a couple of lazy days when we didn't feel like making our own lunch. I can't comment on the dinners as we went out every evening.

Our villa was very comfortable and clean, all the previous talk of cockroaches definitely didn't apply to us, we didn't see any apart from a very dead one on our last day, outside! We found the accommodation rates to be very reasonable for what we got. I found all the staff members, including reception staff, to be friendly, efficient and helpful. Special mention to the wait staff during breakfast and in the pool bar, they were all really lovely.

There is a bus-stop right outside the hotel, the local buses are regular and a very good service, we took a trip to Puerto Mogan, well worth a visit even though the clifftop roads were a little terrifying! We also went in to Playa Del Ingles for dinner one night, had a nice meal in Mamma Mia in the Yumbo Centre. Definitely worth a visit.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Hotel Dunas to friends and family and we will be back!

My boyfriend and myself have just returned from 1 week in Dunas Suites. Firstly the apartment was very spacious, 2 single beds in a very large bedroom, roomy bathroom and a nice lounge with fridge in it. We were half board, food was lovely and varied, could of been a little warmer but on the whole lovely. Staff throughout the complex were so friendly, couldnt do enough for you. The pool was clean and staff around the pool area were always checking it and cleaning it where necessary. A nice 15 minute walk to Maspolomas Beach, lovely sandy beach with beautiful dunes. Sea was very cold but it was january after all, weather was very nice 20 ish but did get windy on the beach but still came back with a nice tan. Market on weds and sat good bargains especially bartering. If i had to come up with any negative points about this holiday they would be very minor, ie. only sky news and cnn channels in english and no kettle in the room. Entertainment was going on although we didnt go to any of the shows, there was always something going on each nite and during the day around the pool. Rooms were cleaned exceptionally well and llinen changed regularly, also nice to have a little table and chairs outside the apartment, i strongly recommend this hotel especially after reading some bad reviews, cockroaches everywhere, didnt see one the whole holiday.

We first visited Dunas in January 2010 and had a great time. Nice accomodations with a suite and small patio. Quite a large facility but it doesn't feel as such. Very kid friendly...like it or not. They have a great staff, from front desk to dining to housekeeping. We were most impressed with the variety and quality of the all-inclusive. Buffet food can never be perfect but they got pretty close. Bravo! We spent 10 days and enjoyed ourselves completely. We decided to return again this past week and they hit it twice in a row! Bravo for job well done. The weather was a bit less cooperative but the Dunas was not. We are seriously considering this to become the annual winter holiday.
