We have stayed there 4 times, the last time at New Year, we have already booked to go back in April and December. Good food, reasonably priced, breakfast served till 12noon, drinks are very reasonable, bottle of rosé for €12.50. or 2 pints of Long Island Ice Tea for €7.50 at happy hour! Spotlessly clean and in our experience always a lot of fun to be had. Can't imagine staying anywhere else now. Hope this helps? |

Agree with this. We are going end of march for our 4th time and couldn't imagine reverting back to a hotel or doing the beach.
Sun sand & Sex without the sand what more can you ask for. |

"Can anyone give a review of Venus Star Resort, Gran Canaria."
If there’s a better place to swing on holiday I’m all ears, we love the place and will return for the fifth time sometime this year |

We had our first visit to GC last month and stayed at La Mirage. We loved it, the vibe was really good.
We are now looking at booking Venus Star later this year. Of course you can never get a “ straight line” comparison because it very much depends on the people there at the time. Be interesting to see though. |

Stayed at mirage and Venus Different vibes and depends on the mix at the time We prefer the intimacy of mirage but getting in can be difficult Venus is the perfect alternative albeit a bit more expensive but worth it for the showers !! |

"Lots of play during the day. Both on the large beds and the playroom.
We have found that most people head to the centres in the evenings for the pubs and clubs"
Thanks, that is what we thought. Maybe a bit too full on for us lol!.... Although sometimes the thought of waiting til midnight to play is too much and we turn in early lol!!
Maybe a day at the BBQ would be the best idea for us? |

Don't get me wrong guys, there are plenty that don't actually play as well. There is however usually some play going on but there are about 40/50 huge beds so it depends just where you choose to be as to who is playing |

Hey all.
Hopefully Venus Star will be re-opening soon. I think the website currently says Aug 1st.
We are looking at some Nov dates.
Can anyone that has been comment on the different room types?
Lots of options. That vary a lot in price. But not many pictures of much of a description available.
Any help on the thread or in private - much appreciated.
Thanks.

Stayed last xmas was great and 25 degrees as well! the rooms are all the same.nicely done, with fab showers as mentioned. the website is quite confusing what with the typ 1 typ 2 typ 3 thing. apart fron the expensive hot tub pool side ones the typ label just means your further back from the pool side, up a slope on one side of the complex. the full price rooms seems to get you a slighter shorter trip to the sunbeds but none are that far really,
A cabs needed for pdi 5euros, and a 25 min walk gets you to the dunes for more nakedness! Spar shop 5 min walk up the hill its on.
Its a shame the lovely restaurant/bar is under used of an evening as its really nice and a great place to meet people with everything on hand eg playroom nearby if required but it seems everyone heads to town and of course the cita for the bars and clubs. we're be off to Venus at least twice more this year starting next month hopefully! love it there! |

We fly 2 weeks tomorrow, I shall report back what's going on.
Unless the club's open I can see the bar/restaurant and our hot tub see a lot more use in the evenings. Looking forward to 10 days of naked chillout time. X |

At the moment always about 15-20 couples in Venus, are there 2 or 3 times a week. So that the clubs are closed, spanish couples go there more instead of going out at night.
Playroom, Pools, Bar etc. all open, action allowed, only a few rules with desinfection, no BBQ...but nearly the same like in normal times.
So the best place at the moment to have fun. |

If they are open and the flights are going then I guess we have to go or we will loose our money! Was looking forward to it to, so maybe this is a good thing!! |

Staying at the abora catarina next April but hopefully getting a day pass to Venus
If we like what we see then we will book a week
However Sometimes it’s nice on holiday to have a break for swinging for at least one evening
Could the Venus star be too much every single night
Surly you’d end up very sore lol |

Hi guys, it’s nit really like that, you don’t have to play if you don’t fancy it, so your nether regions are as safe as you want them to be |

We went to the barbecue and it's a nice clean and totally relaxed atmosphere. We were just in awe of all action around us, we only played with other but the lounging beds were close enough to enjoy others playing. Well worth it and we will go again. |

"BBQ and the other theme days do not and will probably not happen in the next future.
Only on Thursday is Tapas day and on Sunday Sparkling Wine Theme. Other days are without theme." doesn’t really matter to us, if it’s open and we can get there it will be lovely as usual, hopefully see you there! |

Agree with this. We are going end of march for our 4th time and couldn't imagine reverting back to a hotel or doing the beach.
Sun sand & Sex without the sand what more can you ask for."

Think it refers to them being asked to leave by the boss lady as Bert was wearing shorts while waiting for their taxi. They were told it was nude only.
Seem to recall you being dressed just prior to you guys leaving as well which wasn't an issue nor should it have been. I think the TV barman shopped them.
It certainly left a bit of a bad taste. |

Ok so on the our last day we enjoyed the resort as much as we could , then wanted to get showerd 15 minutes before we left , we had vacated our villa/apartment in the morning stored our luggage in the storage room and i ( mr ) was sitting in my shorts saying a farewell to our sunbed neighbours and friends when the cocktail barman saw me in my shorts and asked me to remove them , i explained I was about to go for a shower as we were leaving in 15 minutes , he then went to reception to report me and this young inexperienced receptionist came up to me and again I explained the reason I was in shorts , she then said if I didn't take them off there and then that she would get security to remove us from the premises, now baring in mind we spent €1200 for our 9 nights , got a €340 bar and food bill and never put a foot out of place for the 9 nights we thought it wasn't a very nice way to treat your customers, and also infront of everybody to see , including our newly made friends , to which they were also highly disgusted in our treatment, so I did do as asked after a heated debate and then had a shower got dressed and then went out to the street to wait for our resort prebooked taxi to the airport and after half an hour if waiting was told we hadn't booked one of which I showed her our resort booking which I included the return taxi for €25 each way , she then decides to call a taxi who now wants to charge us €50 to go to the airport to which we refused and I again went inside again and after another heated conversation with the the same girl she finally agreed to cover the cost of the taxi of which I had already paid for .
All that said our time at Venus star was fabulous and please nobody take this post as a way of deferring anybody from making their minds up as wether to stay there or not it was only our experience of our leaving farewell .
We loved the openess and the friendliness of everybody that we met and chatted to , we loved our sunbed neighbours daily catch up from the previous evenings antics whilst being out of the resort and attending the swingers clubs ,
Overall we loved it there and would still go back to stay there again .
Sorry for the long post but I had to explain it in its entirety for everybody to understand where we were coming from .
Stay safe people ,
Till we meet again in Swingworld.

It did leave a bad taste but we put it down afterwards to the receptionist who told us that she was only doing her job or she would get in trouble and It was only her 2nd day and I then said to her there are ways in which you do things and treat guests , she could have spoken to me discreetly or called me to reception but she saw fit to do it infront of all the other guests leaving us totally embarrassed infront of people we become friendly with .

That’s the most negative review I’ve read about Venus and totally understand where you’re coming from, we love the place and it’s nice to see you’re putting it down to inexperience on behalf of that particular person, well done to you both for not letting it spoil your holiday or cloud your judgment of the resort |

Thank you for your nice comments, we always say give somebody the benefit of the doubt, we loved our time there and wouldn't let that cloud our judgement.
We just put it down to the young girl being inexperienced.
We all had to start somewhere |

T'was a great mix of people over that 10 days, in fairness it always is. I never realised you actually had to be naked the whole time... ,
There again, it wasn't an issue for us....we hate putting on clothes.
We are now Facebook friends with almost everyone we met on that holiday...lol
Hopefully this latest lockdown will pass and we shall meet all our friends again in the hottub...just no one switch on those fecking bubbles..

"Saving this page as it's a good review on Venus, maybe someone can add to the naked requirements of the resort, doesn't say much on their website. "
You have to be naked in the jacuzzi, pool and sun bed area. We have occasionally seen staff enforcing this rule, but with more common sense and diplomacy than in the earlier poster’s example - focussing just on those who didn’t want to get naked, rather than someone who was briefly clothed.
If being naked is an issue for someone, then Venus really isn’t the place to stay - they’d be happier elsewhere.
We’ve been twice since lockdown and not much has changed. Breakfast has recently gone up to 15 euros, and seemed to be a lot less popular as a result. Tapas day also seems to have gone downhill - no longer is it a help yourself buffet, and those we spoke with who’d attended we’re disappointed.
But, it’s still our favourite resort, and we are looking forward to our next visit at the end of April. |

"Nothing better than having breakfast on your terrace and chatting to the neighbours while having your cock gobbled "
Unfortunately, that isn’t included in the 15 euros per head in the restaurant |

Cheers for the info, very helpful
I think we have made up our mind and will be canceling our hotel in favour of Venus, certainly less packing to do Just one other question as it's not clear on the website or I haven't seen it mentioned in the fourms, if you are a resident do you pay extra for the bbq/tapas days, as in the same rate as someone coming in from the street? |

You pay, but less than those on a day visit |

"if you are a resident do you pay extra for the bbq/tapas days, as in the same rate as someone coming in from the street?"
You don't pay extra for the days, just for the food and drink if you decide to go for it. I got the impression that most residents don't, and just use the restaurant as normal. |

We have been to both the BBQ and Tapas parties as day guests previously and just booked our first residential stay for 4 nights 6-10th May.
We're really looking forward to it but wondering should we up grade to 'better accomodation'
Other than the bungalows that have the inflatable hot tubs ( which we're not bothered about ) does anyone know what the difference is between the standard and ' better' accomodation ?
Reading a previous post is it just the location of the bungalows being being nearer the pool area ?
Is any over else in the thread at Venus at the same time or in GC 3rd -. 17th May |

Hi, we’ve stayed in all of the bungalows, and to be honest, for a short period it’s not worth the extra for the biggest ones, they are much bigger and more luxurious but you only get to appreciate it if you stay in them for at least a week, just our opinion |

We are there from the 13th to 19th August. really looking forward to it. Whats the consensus on getting to Venus from the airport. Do people use the Venus option or arrange their own transfers? Venus are quoting €40 on way. |

Depends what time you are arriving? On a late flight we always book the Venus transfer as the driver brings your bungalow keys and takes you to your bungalow if the reception is closed. If we remember we book the transfers all the time, but otherwise grab a cab from outside the airport. |

Taxi will be 35-40 euro and you may have to queue briefly. In January we also found getting a taxi from Venus took longer than pre covid. |

We always use Zip transfers. They are waiting for you on arrival. Pick up for return also.
Cost us €64 return to Venus star in March.
Don't forget that there is a decent bus service from airport to PDI for €4 each and then jump in taxi to Venus for €5 if wanting to save a bit |

"BBQ and Tapas are 49 for guests and they are 85 for visitors"
Thinking of spending Saturday afternoon here for the BBQ. Can anyone confirm if the cost is per person or per couple? 85 euros per person seems a lot as neither of will be drinking and we wouldn’t be going for the food |

That's per couple. The food is excellent by the way! Dessert however can be spectacular! |

Excellent, that makes it far more palatable, and the dessert sounds especially enticing
Thanks for the very prompt answer, much appreciated xx |

If you aren’t going for the food or drink, why not go on a different day? It’s only €35 per couple - and “dessert” is the same. |

Good point, but Saturday just works best for us. We fly home late that day, so figured it would be a nice end to a flying visit to PDI. Suppose we could consider the Friday instead though….. |

Although dessert is served all the time, there tends to be a lot more of it later in the day - when happy hour kicks in for the residents. So unless your flight is very late, you might end up having to leave before your banana split. |

Yes, no Tapas day anymore at Thursday, food days at the moment only Tuesday (chicken) and Saturday (BBQ). But there will be changes, keep informed at their website or here by us
And price is right, around 85/couple (5 Euro more or less, depends, if you have registered before at a forum) , all other days 35. |

You can put a photo of your passport on your phone, they accept that. Saves dragging your passport about with you. |
