Cordial Mogan Playa

The last couple of days of our stay in this hotel coincided with the first two days of the Spanish coronavirus lockdown. As incoming flights were cancelled, the number of guests dwindled over the week until very few were left by the time we flew home (as scheduled, thanks to Jet2). The hotel is enormous and, I would say, far too large at busy times. The rooms are a good size and the hotel grounds are extensive and beautifully landscaped with an interesting archeological site. Everything was very clean and there were 2 large hand sanitisers at the entrance to the restaurant and at various other points (all of which were well-used) even before the lockdown. Service in the main restaurant, the poolside cafe and the bar was very good. The buffet breakfast offered an array of international choices and was very good. We found the evening buffet less good but were very grateful that it was available at the end of the holiday when we were not allowed out due to the lockdown (and no other restaurants were open anyway). I can't comment on the pool as we never used it but it fitted in well with the other landscaping and seemed to be very clean and popular with other guests who were looking for a poolside holiday. I would like to praise all of the staff for the way that they kept working and providing a good service at a difficult and worrying time for them. We appreciated their hard work and their friendliness and hope to be able to return one day.

This was our first holiday to both Gran Canaria and the Hotel Cordial in Porto de Mogan and we can honestly say that this is the best hotel we have ever stayed in . It is simply stunning , when you enter the lobby there are plants everywhere and water falls inside , it's like being in the rain forest . The gardens outside are equally fabulous with a lake , bridge and waterfall plus lush plants and a stunning cactus garden. The staff are all very professional and friendly always smiling too . The whole hotel complex is super clean everywhere . The maids who tidy/clean the rooms each day are great . The hotel has two pools , one a quiet one so no children !! Access around the hotel is easy to as everywhere is flat and there is lift access throughout for the higher floors We were on a B and B basis and the choice for breakfast was just amazing , they had everything you could possibly want and all delicious . Plus there are lovely eating areas where you are surrounded by plants or overlooking the lake. Our room was lovely , spacious and with a terrace looking out on the cactus garden and the mountains , just stunning. There is quite a moorish feel to the architecture our room was in a small block with the rooms on the outside and gardens in the middle of the courtyard including a pond with fish and a fountain .The hotel is in a great location too as a gentle ten minute stroll and you are at the front of Porto which is a very pretty little resort and the little Venice area is just beautiful .
