Best family hotels
Sol Barbacan is a 4 star very unexpected apartment and bungalow complex in Playa del Ingles. From the outside, it looks somewhat weird, but once inside the hotel, it offers loads to discover. There are several great pools spread out over the area, including an adults-only pool and kids pool, tennis, and many other sports fields. This complex is very family-friendly because of its layout, but also the many activities on offer. I would definitely advise having a look at the Sol Barbacan bungalows as they are ideal for families.
Seaside Palm Beach is a 5-star hotel close to the dunes of Maspalomas in the Meloneras area of Gran Canaria. I liked the gardens in this hotel. It is much more green and lush than some of the other hotels in this area, and everything is spread out over a large area, so it does not feel crowded. If you want a 5-star hotel with a relaxed vibe that is great for the entire family, Seaside Palm Beach is an excellent choice for you.
The 4-star Hotel Riu Gran Canaria in the Meloneras area of Maspalomas is a great family holiday hotel. It offers everything you could wish for; many different pools, including a kids pool with slides, several adults-only pools and the infinity pool next to the ocean and promenade. If you want your own private pool, you can also opt-in for the swim-up suites with an ocean view. Being a typical club hotel, there is entertainment day and night for kids, teenagers and adults. So all in all, a great family holiday hotel in Gran Canaria. On top of this, the Hotel Riu Gran Canaria also offers a 24-hour all-inclusive service.
The Radisson Blu Resort & Spa Gran Canaria Mogan is a modern hotel in Puerto de Mogan. The whole hotel is very open, fresh, clean and has different pools spread out over the entire area. There is the main pool but also a dedicated pool for children with wet bubble slides. On the other side of the hotel, away from all the kids, there is also an adults-only pool if you would want to relax. There are also two different restaurants located poolside in the hotel Radisson Blue Resort & Spa Gran Canaria Mogan. 1 general buffet restaurant as well as a dedicated Italian restaurant. The hotel also offers a mini club, volleyball and other sports fields, and a rock-climbing wall.
Gran Canarias best hotels next to the beach
Bull Reina Isabel & Spa is a very fresh and clean 4-star hotel right next to the Las Canteras beach. So ideal for a beach holiday, but there is also a lovely pool on the roof overlooking the area. The hotel also has two excellent restaurants. One on the top floor with fantastic views over the beach and another restaurant on the ground floor. Nearby the hotel Bull Reina Isabel you will also find many restaurants and the biggest shopping centre in Las Palmas within walking distance.
If you are looking for an adults-only hotel in Taurito, Suite Princess is your best choice. The hotel is located next to the beach, so it has impressive views over the Atlantic Ocean. The whole hotel feels fresh and breezy and has some great pool options. The Suite Princess also has a variety of restaurants to choose from. All in all, the best choice for an adults-only holiday in Taurito.
Gran Canaria on a budget
The Terraza Amadores is a 2-star budget option on the Playa de Amadores side of Puerto Rico. It is located at just a 2-minute walk from the Playa de Amadores beach. There is parking nearby, and if you are visiting here and want to see something of the island, I would advise you to rent a car. If you spend most of the time on the beach or next to the pool, this is not needed, of course. There is a pool bar, game tables and two pools; one for adults and one baby and kids plunge pool.
Canary Garden Club in Maspalomas is located quietly in between the Meloneras and Playa del Ingles area. This bungalow complex has recently had a major update. The Canary Garden Club is great for a relaxed, budget holiday in the quieter part of Maspalomas.
Best luxury holidays in Gran Canaria
In the centre of Playa del Ingles, you will find the Bohemia Suites & Spa. A 5-star hotel with easy walking distance to the beach. Within the hotel, you will find two great heated pools; one with a bit of soft music and one purely with water sounds for relaxation. There is also an impressive gym with sauna and ice shower and a large dedicated Spa centre with an extensive menu of different treatments. From the restaurant on the top floor of the Bohemia Suites & Spa, you will have a fantastic panoramic view of the surrounding area and beach. Here you will also find the cocktail bar in a relaxed loungey style to enjoy the cool breeze in the evening or during the day.
The Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia is a 5-star GL – hotel in the Meloneras area. So what does that mean? Well… it’s like 6 stars, but since Gran Canaria does not offer 6-star ratings, it’s 5-star GL. This hotel surprised me even before I knew the star rating, so I suppose this rating is well deserved. The hotel consists of little villas set in some beautiful and relaxing gardens around a central pool. If money is no object… I can definitely advise the Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia.
Lopesan Villa del Conde is one of the many 5-star Lopesan hotels in the Meloneras area. This one has a grand welcoming reception build into a cathedral style building. The hotel itself is massive, so it offers everything you could wish for, but because of its layout, it still feels cosy. It feels more like being on holiday in a small authentic Spanish village with beautiful gardens. Also, because there are multiple small pools, it never feels crowded. This hotel is front line to the ocean and about 300 meters from the Meloneras beach. Also, you will find a pool within the hotel with a sand beach if you do not wish to leave the hotel but still want the beach. The Lopesan Villa del Condes also has a large spa and indoor swimming pool.
Best adults-only hotels
Right next to the Playa de San Agustin, you will find the hotel Bull Costa Canaria & Spa. This hotel has a very chilled vibe and is aimed at adults-only holidays. There are many different pools, a spa and a rooftop sunbathing area with a Jacuzzi set-up. From the gardens of the hotel Bull Costa Canaria & Spa, you have direct access to the beach. This hotel has many different room options, including some bungalows in the front close to the beach with a private jacuzzi. There is also an entertainment team and a gaming area if you want to get more active during your holidays.
The Marina Bayview apartments are located a bit up the hill overlooking the harbour area of Puerto Rico. The whole complex is dedicated to offering great adults-only holidays. Since this complex is not very big, the hotel provides a very relaxed vibe and personal service. All the apartments have a great view overlooking the bay. During my last visit to the hotel, many renovations and updates were being made, so I am sure the Marina Bayview will keep on offering great adults-only holidays for years to come.
Labranda Marieta is a 4-star adults-only hotel in Playa del Ingles. This hotel was recently refreshed to become even better. It feels very cosy, compact and colourful as many of the Labranda hotels I have been to do. It’s also very close to the beach with just a 50-meter walk. You will now also find a chill-out and relax zone with some little chill-out pools on the roof. The hotel staff was also extremely friendly and accommodating… one thing I always notice in the Labranda hotels.
