Maspalomas Resort by Dunas

We stayed in this resort during June, and it was the most memorable stay of our lifetime. Perfect cozy & clean cottages, abundant number of pools where you can relax, wide variety of food, enormous number of activities and play things for kids - all of this under €100 / day for family of 3 - you can't get better than this anywhere. The resort is located near the Dunas beach area of Maspalomas - about 1.5 km away. They have 16 hours running restaurant which serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, and quite accommodating for special needs such as vegetarian food. We were served meal that contained abundant number of salads, main courses, desserts and drinks (extra rate) on all days. They have special team to keep the kids occupied - dance, song, swimming lessons and lot of other games are continually running. The crew are incredibly friendly to make your stay comfortable. Between 2 properties that belong to same management, they have 6+ pools, and also have abundant number of sun-beds. Jacuzzis exist in almost every pool, with special pools for kids. The property is quite resourceful in the sense that all tourist buses have their starting / pickup points from here. You can find the most affordable single day tour to Tenerife Loro Park and other attractions from this place - which is quite far considering the car driving and ferry times. Taxis are just one phone call away from reception. Taxi fares within Gran Canaria are quite in the range of public transport, so it is best to hire taxi. For airport, there is public transport accessible from outside hotel costing €4 / head. You can also book special bus transfer (€10 approx.) from hotel upon request.

I have been in SUITES & VILLAS BY DUNAS during 2 weeks. The place is very nice and quiet. The rooms are big ( living room + bedroom + bathroom ) and they are very clean. Well done for the Housekeeping Team ! They have several swimming pools ( for the kids and for the adults ). The staff is very professional and helpful. The restaurant area is quite big but a bit noisy. They have planty of choice and every night they have a new theme ( Spanish, Italian, Asian, ... ). The hotel is very close to Meloneras where you can find shops, boutiques, bars, restaurants, Casino, supermarkets, ATM, etc... Going to the beach you need to walk around 15/20 mins or you can use the complimentary shuttle of the hotel but the bus is always full. The beach is very long so you really can enjoy walking, sunbathing. Be aware there is a naked area on the beach !

Good service, very good food. Nice place en surrounding. The people were working hard to please everyone. The only thing we didn't like was the cleaning up from the tables in the restaurant. That must happen very fast. The placemats were not clean every time. Why you don't use placemats of paper?
