In addition, several activities and new services for adult guests have been added, including a superb U-Spa, 2 Infinity swimming pools, a gym and other facilities.
The hospitality in this hotel is top notch. Due to a delayed departure we missed our connection. After getting rerouted we arrived around 1:30am without our luggage. We had not eaten anything since early afternoon. We were starving. The check in took 1 minute. We were then offered a container of juice, some bananas and a bowl of nuts to hold us over until breakfast. We were extremely thankful. The room was modern with a comfortable king size bed. We also had an amazing ocean view which we took advantage of by sitting in the balcony in the evenings. Any requests made to the front desk were immediately taken care of. All staff were friendly and polite and willing to help any way possible. We spent our time by the small pool. Chairs were always available and there was always a nice breeze since it was facing the ocean. The lounge chairs were to close to one another at the large pool. Getting in and out of them sometimes became a task. We had a great couples massage at a reasonable price. There are many restaurants and bars all walking distance from the hotel. The beach is short 2-3 minute walk.Upon check out at 6:00am we were given some croissants since breakfast was not yet being served. We had a wonderful time here. I would definitely recommend Barcelo Teguise Beach.

Our Holiday was for 10 days (late May) & included 2 Adults (Grandparents in a Maris Room), 2 Adults & 2 Children (9&11yrs) in a Village Suite. Plenty of room in both for each Family. Hotel is in a lovely setting, just across the road from the beach (you will need to walk up a little to a useable/more sandy part of the beach). We upgraded our family of 4 to All-Inclusive on the 1st day & with a 9 & 11yr old it was well worth it! Included in the room price is upto 90mins per day use of the Free Spa amenities, Infinity Pool, Sauna etc...well worth it if you have someone to watch any children (under 16's not permitted). The hotel is quite secluded so you do need the local Taxi/Bus service to get you to the local towns for any daytime/night-time exploring, there is nothing near to walk to for a meal out/drink at night etc... but they are very frequent & as of May 2022 you still need a mask on the buss or they will not permit you to travel. Buffet Breakfast/Lunch & Dinner (depending on your Rate) is available inside & Lunch is also served outside at the Pool Bar (table service), food was excellent with lots of choice. *Food/Drink choices can be accessed via the App (QR code to be scanned at Bar). There were so many onsite amenities & for all ages...great to do with the Animation Team when they do the daily activities (except a Sunday, thats their day off). *Timetable of activities is also available on the App which was helpful to keep track for the kids...& Adults :-) The Animation Team were fantastic, they added a bit of extra fun to each day & it didn't stop with just the day...they hosted the night entertainment too for the Children's Mini-Club (my kids were just a little too old for the music), after this the team played modern music for them to dance & have fun. Then the night entertainment would begin, either from the Animation Team OR an outside group of performers...either way, it kept us entertained into the night. A big thank you too all the staff at the Hotel, from initially meeting the fab Reception Staff/Room Cleaning, to the main Pool Bar & main hotel indoor Restaurant...& to Fathi & his Animation Team who we spent alot of time with, Marko, Aliya, Maya, Carlota, Micha & Mille :-) We mainly did the activities with Marko who was fantastic both during the day & at night keeping us all entertained :-) Thank You. Overall the holiday was a huge hit with my family...my kids are hinting VERY HARD that they want to go back!

There are certain pleasures that are only available to those that stay at the Hotel Colón. For example, waking up early in the morning, crossing over to the window, pulling aside the curtains, and seeing the image of the Barcelona Cathedral bathed in the sun’s first rays. It’s an image that will fill you with energy throughout the whole day! Many of our 129 rooms in the hotel offer this privilege, in addition to amenities such as air-conditioning, telephone, LCD television with international channels, high-speed Internet, safety deposit box, a well-stocked mini-bar, and the finishing touches of a 4 star hotel. If you are traveling for leisure, after a nice shower and a full breakfast, you’ll find it convenient to have the main tourist attractions within walking distance. If you are traveling for professional reasons, having two ample lounges at your disposal offers you infinite options for any event, convention, business meeting, or celebration. In both cases, it’s good to know that, for lunch or dinner, you can depend on the excellent service at the Cathedral 1951 restaurant. All of these reasons make a stay at the Hotel Colón unforgettable. What more can you ask of a hotel?
Want a hotel that is priced correctly and a gem. Then Colon is the place in the heart of old Barcelona and with in walking distance to everything you ever want. The help is fantastic and their recommendations are the best I have ever had at a hotel.

Spent two nights here over a weekend, from arrival to check out we were greeted and hosted by big smiles and friendly staff. A special thanks to Daniela Kewitschi and Sam Bigome who greeted us on arrival and helped us with bookings and local knowledge!! (tough to find spaces at the best restaurants and clubs, make sure you speak to them). The check in staff & valets Natasha Chepou, Josefina Pineto who assisted with helping track down our luggage the airline had lost (It arrived a day later, with the team at Don Carlos following up once we had given them the details as well as making sure we had all the toiletries needed) Overall it was a very pleasant stay and we were well looked after, parts of the hotel are slightly dated and could do with touch ups, but the cleanliness, location and access to the beach (& Nikki Beach Club) were exactly what we were looking for! Thanks to the team, and will definitely be back!

Very efficient - apart from impolite hostess seating in the main restaurant which lead to long waiting times to get a table on the terrace. It seemed as if we were there to serve hotel staff and not visa versa. Great vacation nevertheless.

The Gran Hotel Miramar Resort & Spa 5*GL; with the principal entrance facing the Mediterranean Sea, offers marvellous views over the Bay of Malaga and is just 5 minutes from the cityEs top museums (including the Picasso; Carmen Thyssen; Centre Pompidou and Hermitage) It is considered the masterpiece of architect Fernando Guerrero StrachanEs work and took five years to complete, finally being opened in 1926 by King Alfonso XIII under the name "Hotel Principe de Asturias". From 1936 until 1939, it was used as a hospital during the Spanish Civil War. It then returned to being a hotel, under the moniker Hotel Miramar, until it closed for business in 1967. During the period of 1987 to 2007, it was used as a courthouse. This beautiful historic building has welcomed illustrious guests from amongst European nobility, the world of the arts and Spanish high society.
Absolutely amazing!! my family and I have been there several times in the last 2 years and we have enjoyed every single one of our stays. The hotel staff are exceptional and the morning buffet is just amazing. The hotel itself is magnificent and the view you get to the sea can’t be beaten by anything . Since we are frequent guests we even got upgraded to the Seaview Suite room, it was simply outstanding. The room was giant, the balcony was huge and the view again is just too good. The weather in Malaga is always great even when we go in slightly colder periods of the year. Thank you so much!!

Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort & Spa is located in the south of Gran Canaria, right on the seafront in the exclusive Meloneras area. This spectacular resort is nestled within the Maspalomas Sand Dunes Special Nature Reserve, a spectacular setting that represents Gran Canaria as a tourist destination on an international level. The unmistakable beauty of the natural environment surrounding the hotel is combined with the proximity of El Faro Boulevard, an avant-garde shopping and dining district that offers everything our guests need to enjoy an unforgettable vacation filled with relaxation, recreation and fun. The iconic architecture of Lopesan Costa Meloneras is inspired by the aesthetics of two emblematic colonial-style buildings: the Santa Catalina Hotel in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the Hotel Nacional in Havana, Cuba. When guests arrive, they are met by an awe-inspiring building that pierces the sky with the iconic profile of this colonial palace that spans more than 105,000 m2. The hotel opened in 2000 and after almost two decades as a leader in the archipelago’s tourism industry, it was forced to close its doors on 24 March 2020 because of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Since then, it has focused efforts on revamping its image, modernising its infrastructure and adding new services to its already diverse offer. All the design elements of this magnificent resort are centred around outdoor activities and enjoying the amazing weather. Guests can get away and let their imagination run wild in a lush, 76,000 m² tropical garden, home to over 800 palm trees representing 100 different species and subspecies. The vegetation flows at the pace set by the water and the harmony provided by its 4 freshwater pools (2 of which are heated in winter), 2 whirlpools, 1 children's pool, heated in winter, and its artificial beach. In total, the hotel offers 12,000 cubic meters of pools equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas that blend in with the surroundings. If there is one thing that sets Lopesan Costa Meloneras apart from the rest, it is its infinity pool: 102 meters long and 5,500 m³, it seems to merge with the sea, creating an optical illusion that becomes part of the photos and unforgettable memories of guests who have stayed at the hotel since it first opened. The structure and finishes of the infinity pool have been completely renovated, keeping the essence of this iconic Gran Canaria landmark intact. The Río Pool (2,170 m3) has also been given a makeover, adding new shades of green and brown to create a special symbiosis with the surrounding nature. The course of this unique river has created a peaceful, island-shaped area which will delight our most exclusive guests. Like its aquatic sisters, the Unique Pool (650 m3) and the 'Árbol de la vida' Pool (348 m3) have been transformed, offering a new and updated image, adapting to the aesthetics of the rest of the pools in the complex. The renovations have also involved the expansion and creation of new areas, such as the back terrace of the Solarium Bar, now with more space for enhanced comfort and convenience. Our guests can enjoy the best sunset in Meloneras from this magnificent location. The areas with the highest guest traffic have been modernised, upgrading the pavement and adding new decorations in the lobby, the Tertulia terrace and the Dragones Fountain. La Plaza is another of the hotel's iconic areas that has undergone significant changes, adapting to the demands of our guests and enhancing accessibility. All of the paving has been updated, the irrigation networks have been upgraded and new attractions have been added to all of the resort's gardens, ensuring that repeat guests feel that they are visiting a new, modern and comfortable space that preserves the same essence of the original Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort & Spa.
This is just a review of the Om spa at Costa Meloneras which I used while staying at a neighbouring related property. Overall the spa has a nice vibe and was accommodating. However, both of my masseuses left much to be desired. An aromatherapy massage was adequate but technique was poor. Indian head and neck massage was poorly set up - I had to squeeze into room thru door that could only crack open and the therapist was clearly having a bad day. Not friendly or supportive in any way.

Love this place!! My second stay in Iberostar Lanzarote and absolutely love it! We stayed for 2 weeks in the Star Prestige area and we can totally recommend it! Breakfast and diner is in the prestige restaurant, lunch is in the main restaurant which is very crowded and busy with kids. Food has a great quality. During nighttime we had our drinks at the Star Prestige Poolbar with live music. A big thank you to Charaf, Jan and the others! They work very hard! Hopefully we will return in 2023.
