Maspalomas Holidays from £682

Barcelo Margaritas - Royal Level was my third hotel in the Maspalomas area and by far the best. The hotel, facilities, food quality and service were by far the best (5-star quality). We picked the half-board option which included buffet breakfast and the option of lunch (a la carte) or dinner (buffet-style) at their Royal-Level restaurant (La Palapa). Other restaurants were also available but honestly not needed because the food at La Palapa was the best food I've had in all Maspalomas restaurants we tried. Super highly recommended. The only downside was the WIFI didn't worked in our room, possibly because we had a corner room. Which I'm sure it could've been fixed but we were so busy that we barely stayed in the room, other than to sleep.

A superb hotel. The food was fantastic and the staff were all lovely and helpful. We could not have asked for a better place to stay.

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.

Very friendly, dedicated and professional hotel staff. The food was excellent, they offered a variety of different dishes. There are also vegan options like soy milk for your Cappuccino. Every evening live singers play in the nice hotel bar. We enjoyed that a lot! The location is really good - the beach is just across the streets. I can only recommend the hotel.

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.

I was hoping for a nice stay - what I got was a luxurious stay. I was half board and would recommend that - also - try out la poemas. All the staff were amazing - shout out to Paola, Xoel, Julia … but no one was anything other than lovely. As a solo traveller this worked for me Plenty of sunbeds for this April trip
