  : What brings this place up is the people and the atmosphere. There were nice animations, all staff was super kind, the gardens are lovely. The animation team did a terrific horror house on Halloween night. We really appreciated that they changed the bungalow as we couldnt stay in the initial one due to health concerns, and the complimentary water and drink. The food was average but with enough variety and healthy options.
  : The facilities are a bit basic or old. The first bungalow was too humid. You have to pay for some games like air hockey or billiard. Limited gym, no real spa, it was in the sister resort. Overall, a bit too expensive. As suggestions: a small renovation team could refresh one bungalow at a time with limited impact on the business; there is a need to renovate the gym and install a sauna next to it; the best food was the Canarian one, you should serve it more often.

  : room too far away with bad hip

Pleasant
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : nice room, reasonable food, reasonable entertainment, shower rooms available for late departures
  : noise around main pool, very loud entertainment team, taking money in pounds instead of offering euro payment- really poor exchange rate paying in pounds. Unpaid intern tried to resolve but unsatisfactory

  : Bungalows were kept very clean, cleaning staff were excellent. Food was very nice, always a good choice. Plenty of activities for children and adults. Animacion team were very good.
  : The night time entertainment on some nights was a little quiet. The children loved the shows, singing, dancing but were not interested by bingo night for example.

  : Sadly, our stay at Maspalomas Resort by Dunas was in some ways disappointing. We have stayed at the Suites and Villas part of the hotel prior to Covid and were very much looking forward to our stay - especially with two kids. Unfortunately we learned that the Resort part of the hotel is quite different in many ways.We checked in into a (apparently) newly renovated apartment. It was overall good and well-equipped however the air conditioning was not working very well. It got really hot, especially at night. Also, the whole hotel complex was having several power outages a day.Dining facilities are only inside, which makes it very crowded and noisy. Food choices are overall good, however there are few vegetarian and almost no vegan options. Since there is no outside dining area, the restaurant is getting crowded, noisy and very hot inside. Also, many of the dishes and glasses were dirty. Only one time during our week long stay were we made aware of the beverage list that came with our all inclusive booking. Drinks were will very little alcohol, there is no Coke, and the overall diversity of drinks was disappointing. If youre looking for local tapas this is also not the place to dine. There are plenty of options outside the hotel complex which are way better foodwise.A big downside has also been the animation team. The animation is done by a French speaking team, completely leaving out any kids not speaking French. And even if you speak French, there are very little possibilities for young kids, almost no activities where they can participate. The animation team consisted of very young French people, at night you could not sit at the bar and have a conversation as it was just too loud to talk. The pool area during the day has also been dominated by screaming and yelling by the animation team. When experiencing one of the regular power outages during night entertainment, the animation team began screaming (in order to bring back the electricity?!
