Paradisus by Melia Gran Canaria

So many kids all over and staf let everyting happening. One in our party got sick ( I think because of the pool, babies are sviming without swim dipers in pool for afults, all) kids all over in the main restaurant. Not possible to sit quit and eat. When we orderd the hotel we specifik asked for rooms in the middel of the hotel, but when we came it was not possible. We orderd long time ago. We paid one of the rooms when we arrived but because of card issiues we could not pay the same amount tvice. The hotel called us the 3 day and we told them that we would come and settel the bill in the afternoon. But the hotel called us 5 times the same day about the same. It is not 5 star hotel service. The have every identity possibility and contakt on us. We were not about to tjek out before 2 days after. We went to Italian restaurant one evening. I have never had so bad a lagsagne and tiramisu. We have been to this hotel 2 times before and it has been very good, but this time I dont think we will be back.

Our stay at Paradisus Gran Canaria has been exceptional. I travel a lot, and it is rare to find a hotel offering such a wide variety of experiences while maintaining this level of service, availability and genuine attention to detail. There is a real sense of being looked after, cared for and completely at ease throughout your stay.

And among all these experiences, meeting Isabel Florido Mayor (@baransu_studio) was one of the unexpected highlights of our holiday.

My daughter and I joined one of her classes almost by chance, and I was immediately impressed by the quality, precision and intelligence of her teaching. I have been recovering from a frozen shoulder for over seven months and, after completely stopping exercise, I wanted to use this holiday to gently reconnect with movement. Having practiced yoga regularly before, I could immediately feel how thoughtful and knowledgeable Isabel’s approach is.

She is bright, curious, generous with her knowledge and incredibly attentive to each individual. She has that rare ability to find exactly the right words to explain what a movement is meant to do, what we should feel, and why it matters. Her many years of training and learning are beautifully integrated into her classes without ever making them feel complicated.

We enjoyed her group classes so much that we decided to book a private “Diagnóstico Postural y Neurociencia” session together. It was fascinating — learning how our body organizes itself around the spine, how our senses and thoughts influence posture (and vice versa), and becoming more conscious of something as simple as how we sit, stand and move through the world.

I especially loved sharing this experience with my 15-year-old daughter: giving her, at such a young age, some keys to better understand her body and how it interacts with her environment felt incredibly valuable.

Isabel is a real asset to the wellness programme at Paradisus Gran Canaria. I would recommend her 100% to anyone staying there — not simply as a fitness or yoga class, but as an invitation to understand your body better, move better and ultimately live better.

Thank you for everything, Isabel. We feel very lucky that we happened to walk into your class. ❤️

Brahim made our evening truly memorable. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always had a smile on his face. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, gave great recommendations, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our meal. It’s rare to receive service that’s both professional and so personable. Thank you, Brahim, for making our experience so enjoyable—we can’t wait to come back!
