Mirador Maspalomas by Dunas

This is our second time staying at the Mirador, and yet again we were happy with value for money you get at the hotel. We recognise a lot of people from last year. As everyone has said the hotel is clean and the staff work very hard. I am surprised with some of the comments on here about the food and not sure what people expect. They provide food all day long, all of it is cooked fresh and there is a huge amount of choice. There are different dishes each day with a meat and fish choice and then fresh breads, salads and a variety of desserts. The picture someone took in an earlier review is of the food they put over the far side mainly for children it's not a good representation of the actually food available. There are unlimited drinks with a good range of choice. The rooms are cleaned daily and we were on the road side which is noisy and some people wouldn't like it but we had a view of the mountains. There is a free bus daily to the beach and back and a taxi is about €4 to the beach. There is a shopping centre which is about a 10min walk which has a zara, pull and bear and supermarket and a Spar and small shops round the corner. Would recommend the moonlight cinema and the Wednesday and Saturday market which is close by. The entertainment staff work hard and try and get everyone involved. They had some maintenance work whilst we were here and painted the bar area. They are trying to recycle but people put the plastic in all of the wrong bins so it would be nice to see less plastic cups and plates around the bar area. Some of the tiles in the pool needs fixing and parts of the hotel looks tired but this is a 3 star so not sure what people expect. There is a gym and you can hire towels and safe for a small cost. The only entertainment I didn't see was the parrot show as I think it's wrong and cruel but again I know this happens in lots of hotels in the caranies. It's a great holiday, it's hot although a lot of cloud this week. The staff work really hard and ideal if you just want a chilled week.

One pool was warmed wich was nice. Room was clean and ok. No air conditioning, but there was a fan wich helped a bit. Music was nice and animation staff were good. The snacks weren't so good quality. Over all the place was ok.
