Don Gregory by Dunas - Adults Only

The surroundings are very sad and industrial: only crowded buildings and a lot of cement, a few very outdated shops with the cheapest products in the so-called shopping center in front of the hotel. Nowhere to have a pleasant walk, nothing to do except for lying on the crowded terrace of the hotel. At the restaurant, too much staff and they are chatting loudly all the time, either ignoring the customers or suffocating them with useless interventions. We left after only 2 nights (we paid for 9 nights in a Top Premium Double Room, the most expensive one), and the reception staff had a very unprofessional reaction, though we didn't even require for the rest of the money back. They were totally unreactive when I said we would leave sooner. Not only they didn't ask why, but they were literally pretending not to hear me explaining and seemed to only want to get rid of us as fast as possible. They were not busy with someone else at the moment. I don't know if this attitude was due to their poor English skills or to the fact that they are used to disappointed clients leaving much sooner than planned. However, it was an important financial loss for us and a big disappointment, so a minimum of politeness would have been normal. We left because the strong calima winds were making the stay impossible: dust everywhere, impossible to breath, to keep the windows open or to do any activity outside. This is of course not the hotel's fault, but a natural common phenomenon in the Canary Islands that we were unlucky to experiment during our holydays this time. But even without calima, we would never go to San Agustin again. There are much more beautiful places on the Canary islands and even in Gran Canaria one can find better.
