Top 10 Resorts in Playa del Ingles, Spain

May 16, 2023 Jana Sager

This big resort—the largest on Gran Canaria—was developed in the 1960s specifically as a tourist area. And all types of tourists have found it. LGBT travelers, families with kids, au naturel sunbathers, honeymooners, groups of young singles… there’s a spot for everybody on the beach here (and a hotel or apartment for every budget).

Amazing family holiday, great food!

Reviewed By victoriaw953

We had such a great holiday, the accommodation was spacious and clean with a table and sun beds outside. The food was amazing, the buffet at the picnic restaurant was delicious, varied every day with plenty of healthy options and child friendly options (choc fountain for the kids was much enjoyed). We enjoyed going to the splash pool restaurant for a casual lunch each day. There were tubs of ice cream in the freezer for the kids, but would need to pay for branded ice lollies and slushies (which we didn't mind). There is a supermarket on site which was very handy as well. There was a free coach to the local beach each day, we visited the beach once and was very nice with plenty of facilities, it's on the edge of the sand dunes. We didn't know there was a football pitch, the kids had so much fun playing football each night and pool/air hockey. There are two pool areas, both are great with plenty of sunbeds. The staff helped if you couldn't find one (usual brits putting towels down) . We didn't upgrade to Emblem. We were entitled to one night in the Italian but it was closed so we ate in the Emblem restaurant instead. The main meals were really high quality (duck confit) but the starters, desserts and kids meals we got from the picnic buffet as there was more choice (you also have to pay for drinks in the restaurant) . We were happy with the wine, cava, beer on offer for all inclusive and the Sangria was very good. Although I treated myself to buy a Mojito one day and it was amazing, I don't think we would have had much benefit as a family from the upgrade overall. It would probably be best for couples or parents who want a bit more luxury. The hotel was constantly maintained and clean. I had a go at some of the sports activities, yoga, fitness class and pool bike which were excellent. The kids didn't take part in the kids activities as they were happy with friends in the pool and playing football but there was a great range every day including cinema nights. Overall, we were pleasently surprised with the quality of the hotel and would definitely return.

Lovely Stay - needs a few tweaks

Reviewed By rhinocheeks

We booked our holiday through Jet 2 Holidays originally for 2 people. 3 weeks before the holiday we tagged on our 18 year old son at considerable cost (£800+ for one week) on the understanding that he would have a sofa bed. On arrival – we arrived very late on the Sunday evening we were disappointed to find that there was no bed /sofa bed in the small lounge area. On ringing reception the host was very apologetic but as the resort was fully booked could not give us another bungalow. On first impression the bungalow was quite dark and dingy, and the furnishings in dire need of upgrading – lots of chips/damage on tables, chairs, units etc. To be honest at this point I wanted to leave as felt that we had been pushed to the back of the resort in the worst bungalow, no bed for our son only a few sheets left on the sofa. As were were tired we rested up to tackle in the morning. The next day first thing staff were sent to the bungalow and they did everything they could to make sure my son had a comfortable sleeping are with mattress toppers and pillows etc for the remainder of the stay. Despite the furnishings being under par the place was immaculately clean, the bedroom and bathroom area was very good. The kitchen was basic with microwave, fridge, hobs etc – which we didn’t use. The outside terrace was ok but we did not get sun at any point during the day. The grounds and pool area were well kept and we enjoyed most days round the pool it was very quiet just how we like it. The Yumbo centre was around 5 minutes walk from the front of the property – we were at the back of the property and it would have been good to have a gate at the rear of the resort to get in and out as I have a few mobility problems it was ‘double distance’. Yumbo is full of bars and restaurants and shops geared very much to the gay community. Lots of drag type caberet etc. We found a lovely little place on our last couple of days ‘the English bakery’ which served up a fabulous breakfast and looking at the menu had some great items on there different to the usual. We also walked a bit further up past the Yumbo to the RedCow/Shenanigans which hosted entertainment every night in form of family quiz, karaoke etc – great fun! The staff were great - happy/polite and accommodating, and overall the complex was really nice. We would stay again but I would request a different bungalow with more sun and closer to the pool. The issues we had with the bed situation I will be taking up with Jet 2 as it was not explained on adding my son that a bed (fit for purpose) was not provided.

A little bird in paradise

Reviewed By Michael-UK1967

I stayed at the Birdcage for 2 weeks (last week of March/1st week April 2022). Absolutely loved it. So peaceful & quiet, yet only a few mins walk from Yumbo centre. My room was gorgeous and the resort is small (only 9 rooms), which makes it a home from home. Breakfast and afternoon drinks saves you having to venture out until later in the day, so you can enjoy the pool area with other guests or all by yourself (if you're lucky like I was). The staff are wonderful, cant do enough for you, and as there are only 9 rooms, you get to know each other on a more friendlier level than the bigger hotels I have stayed in. Its definitely a fabulous little gem of a place to stay in if you want a peaceful environment. All the nightlife is a stones throw away & the beaches walkable or a short bus/cab ride away. I loved it and I will definitely stay there again. Thanks you Birdcage Resort for making this little birdie have a wonderful holiday. Michael UK

Brilliant Stay

Reviewed By Aden G

This was the first time I have stayed at an exclusive resort like this and I really didnt know what to expect. The site is opposite the Cita shopping centre and there is a fence facing the road to make sure that its nice and secluded. The staff are brilliant and are always happy to help. Accomodation is in a number of bungalows distributed around the site - some are around the pool but all have a table and chairs under a verandah and a sun bed. Have to admit I was afraid of getting sunburnt so spent a lot of time chilling in my chair under the verandah but I dont think I've chilled as much on a holiday before. The pool and hot tub are obviously very popular and looked very inviting - I certainly plan to go back and next time I will take advantage of the pool and the hot tub.

Have stayed in these appts for over 20 years, basic but very clean and in a great position near the Yumbo, buses and cabs. Staff have always been fantastic. Very nice pool area. Sadly we have been informed that Servatur have ceased running the Barbados and we don't know what the future for it is, we are hoping that another company will take it on, will have to wait and see what happens after the lockdown.

El complejo Masparadise Apartments se encuentra en una zona residencial, en un lugar privilegiado, dentro del núcleo urbano de Playa del Inglés. Toda la zona es de una sola planta, lo que la hace más atractiva, por estar más en contacto con la naturaleza y sin el mundanal ruido, a pesar de estar muy bien situado. Masparadise es un complejo de bungalows exclusivo, pequeño, bien equipado, acogedor, muy cerca de restaurantes, bares, tiendas, supermercados, c. c. Yumbo y atracciones de recreo y de ocio y cerca del campo de golf. Especialmente aconsejado para aquellas personas que buscan el alojamiento adecuado para el relax y descanso en sus vacaciones. Todos los bungalows dan directos al jardín y a la piscina. La piscina,climatizada en invierno, cuenta en uno de sus extremos, con escaleras de amplios peldaños. La densa vegetación de buganvillas que la rodean, la convierten prácticamente en un auténtico solarium privado.

They provided a refund when they didn’t have to and organised a taxi. They were incredible understanding and maintained communication until we reached the airport. Thanks you so much, you guys are amazing. Can’t wait to stay again xx
