Club Maspalomas Suites & SPA is an Adults Only property located in the quiet Campo International Maspalomas area of Gran Canaria. With a peaceful setting, spacious gardens and wide range of luxurious facilities, this is an ideal choice for a relaxed Canary Island break.
We arrived late (around 11:30PM) after a small delay at the airport and were greeted by the very welcoming reception staff. We have obviously missed the buffet food, but when we arrived to the room the staff had laid out an arrangement of cold meats and cheese, which a nice surprise to start off the holiday. We had half board so opted to have breakfast and usually go out during the day for an explore and back for the evening buffet. The food at the hotel was brilliant, all the staff worked tirelessly to keep everything clean and running smoothly (waiting staff and kitchen staff together).

We found this hotel to be of 4 star quality, and massively catered towards people over 60 years old, to the point it sometimes felt alienating. Service: very attentive staff when you needed something. However, lots of things weren't explained, and we think it's because there's lots of returning visitors. E.g, not told how to change our towels, wasn't clear whether you would be seated or someone would come and seat you in the different places, don't think there was room service available (wasn't clear if there was), food options weren't explained clearly. Room: nice room with the private pool. Private pool was a good size for two people. We first got a room overlooking another hotel which was disappointing, after asking to be moved we got put in a room facing the beach and pool which was a much better experience. Food: breakfast had a good selection. Dinner options were disappointing in the choice available, we didn't enjoy the buffet at all. 2 of the restaurants had a rule of "trousers for gentleman" which reception didn't explain to us. We had an incident where we were accepted to the table without realising shorts weren't allowed, one of the older clientele started getting rowdy and the staff asked us to change and made a scene.. Given the much higher quality restaurants right outside, it made us not want to return to any of them which we didn't. Pools: on the smaller side for a hotel that claims to be five stars. Thankfully we had our private pool but would have been disappointed if we didn't have a private pool. The pool water was cold for the first 5 days and could have done with being heated. Beach: literally a one minute walk, it's right out the back of the hotel and is right next to the dunes. Great location and massive beach. Overall: I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone under the age of 60, it is definitely playing to that demographic with the way it is set up and some of their policies are antequated.

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.
