Lopesan Baobab Resort

I had a truly wonderful dining experience at Akara Restaurant at Lopesan Baobab Resort. The entire atmosphere perfectly reflects the hotel’s concept, with beautiful African-inspired design elements, warm wood details, and soft, ambient lighting that creates a very special and inviting setting. The food was exceptional. I started with the prawns, followed by the special fish with African accents—both dishes were absolutely delicious and full of flavor. To finish, I had the apple pie, which was the perfect sweet ending to an already fantastic meal. What made the evening truly outstanding was the service. Emmanuel took care of me and elevated the entire experience. He intuitively understood my taste, guided me to the perfect selections, and delivered service with such great energy, professionalism, and genuine warmth. Thank you, Emmanuel, for this exceptional experience at Akara. I will definitely be coming back!

Our second time at this hotel, however, we we're pleasantly surprised by the improved food offering, evening entertainment, and most importantly the kids club (Animation team). A special thank you to Iker and Rachel - they did such a fantastic job engaging with the children, encouraging them and making sure they had a great time!

We visited Akara last year twice and again this year. It’s our favourite restaurant in Gran Canaria. Juan Pablo and his team are the best hosts and looked after us. Food is scrumptious and consistently good. Highly recommended to visit and let the restaurant speak for itself.

Not really sure how to rate the hotel as I think it is far more suited for a family than a couple. Positive: the building and the grounds are fabulous with plenty of attention to detail to make it have the feel of a safari lodge. There is a lovely scent throughout the hotel Good variety of food for breakfast Beds are comfortable and a good temperature in the room- slept well Great seating areas indoors for drinks Negative: 5 star hotel where there are no tea/coffee facilities in the room is bizarre (this is a basic service in most 3 star hotels and shouldn’t just be in superior rooms only!) Rooms/ stairwells/ bathrooms are too dark Lack of comfortable outdoor areas to sit and have a drink Complimentary arrival water was not replenished without a fee Long queue for breakfast/ quite chaotic and it felt like cattle were being herded. Waitress seemed annoyed when I asked to move tables to sit in the sun as it was cold. Huge hotel with several pools but chairs were all taken with towels. Also disliked the ‘unique’ idea whereby ‘unique’ guests get a better service. Surely all guests staying in the hotel should be equally important? A great looking hotel that somewhat lacked the hospitality element of a 5 star hotel. L

In general the experience was amazing. I felt so comfortable and i felt an awesome good vibes there. I had so much fun and so welcomed with one of your workers, called Addys she is perfect on everything a very good person and very aware of everything. I will definitely come back

We had a great time at Akara. Great food and the service was fantastic
