Nestled beside the breathtaking Maspalomas Dunes in southern Gran Canaria, this beautiful hotel offers an idyllic retreat. Located in the heart of Maspalomas, one of the Canary Islands' most charming enclaves, it provides easy access to a variety of sports, leisure activities, and local dining experiences. The airport is a convenient 20-minute drive away. The hotel's elegant, minimalist spaces prioritize guest comfort and convenience. Enjoy sunny days by the outdoor pool or savor delicious meals in the restaurant. The bright, well-appointed rooms offer all the necessary amenities for a pleasant and memorable stay.
We stayed for 5 nights in July and had a lovely break at this hotel. It is situated in a quiet area of Maslapomas. The only downside is there is a very large family hotel nearby with loud evening entertainment- this however did finish about 10:30pm. The duplex apartments are nicely furnished, spacious and spotlessly clean. The grounds are gorgeous and lush with planting, they have an amazing bonzi collection! Again, the grounds, pool area and facilities are clean and well looked after. All the staff were a delight, very friendly and helpful. We stayed half board, the breakfasts had everything you could imagine on offer and the buffet dinners were nice and varied. The hotel offer a free shuttle bus to the beach throughout the day and there is a very good public bus service nearby which can take you all over the island.
A great place to stay if you want a quiet break.
Just something to be aware of, the buses get full at peak times and they just drive on by! Particularly on Friday to Porto Morgan for the market.
This hotel was amazing. Very tranquil and relaxing vibes. The hotel staff were impeccable. Marlin at reception made us feel at home - she genuinely couldn’t have helped us more. The location is a small bit remote - 25/30 min very doable walk to the main part although a taxi rank is outside the hotel, it’s about 4-6 euro down to the boulevard. The hotel suite/room was gorgeous- having both a downstairs living area and an upstairs separate bedroom area was very accommodating. The rooms were cleaned daily, and very comfortable! One of the nicest places I’ve stayed in abroad ! The gym was fantastic - although aircon would have been preferable in that area - but it didn’t make much of a difference for us ! Thanks guys x
Just come back from a girls trip (Mother’s and daughters) chosen due to being adults only and good facilities.
We arrived late due to flight delay and we missed the restaurant but they had made up some plates of food which was gratefully received as was the cold Brut on arrival.
We had 2 pool views suites - very nice. Had everything we needed. We didn’t spend much time in the downstairs area but good as an extra space. Hotel facilities were good for a small hotel. Staff really helpful. Room cleaned to a good standard. Great cocktails and snacks at the pool bar. Pool area was really good. Never really busy, plenty of sunbeds. Only downside was location. Nowhere to walk to, no other bars, shops etc. we got a taxi outside to Flora, the boulevard which was fine. I’d have liked there to have been the option to walk out. A really relaxing hotel
The resort is perfect if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing break away from the main bustle. It’s a straightforward 1.5 km walk into Meloneras, which is beautiful, upmarket, and authentic - definitely not the place for rowdy nightlife, which suited us perfectly! The walk includes a bit of a hill, so keep that in mind if mobility is a concern.
Alternatively, public buses run along the main road for just €1. Just note that they operate more like coaches, so you need to press the stop bells (located near the front and middle doors) well in advance, as the drivers move quickly! The hotel also offers a fantastic free shuttle bus at set times throughout the day.
The facilities are great - a little tired in places, but spotlessly clean. Highlights include a fantastic pool area with plenty of comfortable sunbeds, a peaceful roof terrace, and a jacuzzi. There are cabana beds which are great for lounging and very comfortable. I highly recommend booking a pool-view room; having your own sun loungers, table, and chairs on a private terrace is well worth it for quiet days. The only downside was the room air conditioning, which was quite weak and never got truly cold. Some guests we spoke with ended up sleeping downstairs where it was cooler. While we managed, stronger AC would make a huge difference on hot Gran Canarian days.
The food is tasty, authentic, and offers plenty of variety.
The pool bar is lovely and reasonably priced, featuring live evening singers and board games like Jenga and Connect 4. We also noticed several solo travelers who seemed to be having a great time, warmly welcomed by the attentive team.
A huge shout-out to Malina, Jocelyne, and Juan at the front desk - they were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our trip. Marjory also deserves special praise for her superb, warm customer service - always delightful and smiling!
Top Tips: Rooms: Book a pool view! Kettles and cups are provided, but bring your own tea and coffee to avoid extra charges. Note that using the in-room safe costs an additional €2 per day. Hairdryers, soap, shampoo, and conditioner are all supplied.
Pool & Billing: Pool towels are provided. There is also a €100 deposit at check-in.
Shopping: The on-site shop is very reasonably priced, and a small supermarket with all the essentials is just a 10-minute walk away.
Car Rental: This can be arranged by the hotel. Very easy to do! If you plan to drive into the mountains, be prepared: it is not for the faint-hearted! The roads are very narrow and winding. Avoid renting a small, low-powered manual car like we did; opting for an automatic with a larger engine will make mountain driving far less stressful.
Fabulous! Great room great restaurant and very helpful and friendly staff. It is about a mile from Maspalomas centre but it’s an easy walk or taxi rank nearby and they are not at all expensive
