La Aldea de San Nicolás Holidays from £357

I'd never stayed in the area before, but chose it because of the parking, which the CayBeach had plenty of free street parking. The bungalow was very spacious, quiet and comfortable. All the staff were friendly and abided by current Spanish Covid19 regulations.

Housekeeping does a great job. Nice spacious apartment. Excellent breakfast. I would stay here again.

Great location. Very clean. Breakfast was very good.

Really lovely hotel with fabulous staff. I opted for breakfast only as there are some great restaurants within walking distance. The royal level pool is really nice and you can order drinks via the app if you download it. The other part of the hotel has a nice pool bar as well. Well located, about 25 mins walk to both Playa del Inglés (though the walk back up the hill wasn’t the best in the heat) and the Dunes which were spectacular at sunrise. The hotel runs a shuttle bus to and from the beach if you don’t fancy the walk.

The hotel is very much geared up for families; vast hotel, good sized pool areas (plus slides etc for the kids) and generally enough sun loungers (inevitably with some putting towels on beds before breakfast, to reserve them). The hotel is clean, bright and modern and the room was airy and spacious with comfortable beds and aircon. Food was ok - being an all inclusive in a four star, there was the inevitable feeding frenzy, "canteen" feel about it. Plenty of big vats of various foods under hot light bulbs keeping everything warm! Lots of options to suit most palates and breakfast was good and plentiful. There's a self-serve counter with burgers/chips/hotdogs by the pool during the day, but it wasn't great quality. Evening meals were uninspiring; mainly beige food like chips, pasta and trays full of overcooked casserole-type food and tinned/frozen veg. The coffee was from an instant machine and the drinks included - Amstel beer and wine on tap and a soft drinks fountain were fine for us. I would say they are trying to cater to everyone obviously, but it made meals quite boring and samey after a few days. The area is built up with accommodation of similar style and is close to the weird and wonderful Cita shopping centre! Full of duty free shops, clothes, tourist tat, restaurants, bars and an interesting array of "adult" establishments in the basement! Hotel is a short walk to the sand dunes and beaches of Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles and close to public transport links.

Casa León Royal Retreat is quite simply the finest anywhere, superb location, peace calm tranquility a Shangri-la. The comfort and ambience was first class the cuisine high quality and staff incredible, warm ultra friendly totally professional. We had one of our most enjoyable breaks anywhere. Highly recommended.
