Best Hotels near Playa de Patalavaca, Patalavaca

Perfect location, beautiful views and close to some of south Gran Canaria’s best locations. So many restaurants! It’s 0.05km from Patalavaca beach. 20mins walk from Anfi or Arguineguin. 10mins taxi from Puerto Rico. I would go back to this hotel in a heartbeat. Booking Tip book direct and get discount. English speaking, friendly reception. I stayed in a Premium Sea View room. The view was spectacular, (I’ve added photos from room 602). The ocean is just there and Patalavaca beach is stunning. Non-seaview rooms are because there’s high wall that goes round the hotel and hides the view. Clean, comfortable beds. Good wardrobe space. Towels, hairdryer, kettle, toaster, plates, cutlery, glasses etc. Open the balcony door for a great sea breeze as there is NO aircon or Fan – This may be a dealbreaker for some. Additional Room costs: Safe and Pool towel. Get the breakfast, it’s full continental. The large pool is accessible most of the day. There are sunbeds are all in sun hotspots with umbrellas and a poolbar/food till 4pm. Walk out the pool door: for amazing beaches and swim spots. (Anfi has watersports). Good restaurants, Tapas, Anfi. Restaurant Valentino, Patalavaca. Taste Meson, Arguineguin. Puerto Rico for nightlife. Patalavaca. Walk out the pool exit facing the ocean. The walk is under a minute to the first beach. It’s a natural beach, not busy at all on weekdays. It has a great swimming area and a lifeguard. 5mins walk either side reveal more secluded and interested swimming spots. If you like snorkelling, then there are some good shoals of fish in the middle and smaller fish near the rocks. The hotel is 20mins walk (out the pool exit) to from Anfi beach. It’s next to the Anfi Timeshare area, which means lots to do and yes you can access it all. A man made pretty cove beach with swimming, small shopping centre, water sports (paddleboarding, pedalow, paragliding etc), dive ventre and modern restaurants with light evening entertainment. Anfi – Italian, Tapas, Tex mex, Maroa Island -night market live music in some restaurants till 23:30 It is also 25 mins walk from Arguineguin Harbour and main beach. There are some great swimming spots and more tapas based restaurants along the way. Before covid there was a great day market in Arguineguin. Maroa Island - The closest thing Anfi has to Ocean beach. Fancy sunbeds, great cocktails and food. You pay 12-25 euros for a secluded sun bathing area, it can get more pricey depending on the type of sunbed or area to reserve. It is also right next to a deep sea swimming area. Hike: You would need to ask reception how to get to the base, but there is a small rockyhill/mountain with a cross at the top. It’s a great walk up, apprx 20-30mins up and 15mins down (if you are athletic). You can see the whole bay from the top. Go before the sun hits the majority of the mountain or the for the sunset. It’s stunning gat the top. I walked up every morning before breakfast. Puerto Rico – Taxis are 5 euros

I've stayed here many times - last time in september 2022. The staff at the reception are so lovely, and always give me a warm welcome and are otherwise very helpful. Early check-in, late check-out, room allocation, cant fault it - its usually no problem (depending on capasity of course). Stayed 2 nights this time, shortly after going to my room i got a lovely surprise delivered to the room. It was very much appreciated! Breakfast is wonderful, with everything you could desire. Staff there and in the pool bar was nice and helpful (minus one time at the pool bar, waited and did not get served). Im coming back in July this year, and cant wait!

We have just come back from a 7 night family holiday of 3 adults and a 16 year old. I honestly cannot say anything negative about the hotel, it was spotless, the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was amazing, the rooms perfect, the grounds of the hotel were well kept and pool areas kept clean. We arrived late at night and were given a bag with water, a cheese and ham sandwich was was perfectly edible and some fruit. We had a room on the 3rd floor looking to the side of the hotel where the unused land was but this wasn't an issue as we also had teh view of the beautiful bay and got the sun from morning till night. The hotel had multiple lifts on each floor and there were lifts on the roadside for access to the upper part of the hotel. It was also easy to walk around the road to the upper part also but not with suitcases. We hardly came across a lift that was full when we pressed for one so no issues at all getting around the hotel. The rooms all had wifi, facilities to make tea/coffee and even cook if you really wanted to. There was a decent hairdryer in the bathroom, the shower was amazing too. The rooms were cleaned daily and the a/c did it's job also. We didn't put the tv on but there was one. The beds were super comfy and my son slept on the sofa bed with no problems either. The food...well that can I say, absolutely delicious, loads of variation. We were eating 3 courses at every meal. If anything the only thing the hotel could invest in would be covered domes to keep the food piping hot but it was not a big deal. The paella we had was amazing and the prawns were huge. There wasn't much in the way of entertainment but the night we went up to see the trio who did a bruno mars type tribute were brilliant. They got the crown singing and dancing and it was a brilliant night. There was a mini disco for kids before the bingo and quizzes and we took cards. We were quite happy making our own entertainment, My 16 year old son enjoying playing pool, ping pong and he even had a game of tennis and football on the specific court. The rackets and balls were behind reception. He also asked reception for an extra pillow and came back with it no issues at all. There were pool activities too...aqua dance, pool football and water polo and the aqua mat seemed to be a favourite which was a great laugh for spectators and participants. We hired pools towels, a refundable deposit of 15 euros which we got back on the day we left. We also kept the room on till 6pm for 29 Euros which we thought was good value. It would be good if there was a seating area in the main part of the hotel with some self serve drinks if you wanted to be away from the top bar area but not really a problem. It was only a 15 minute walk to Anfi where you can visit the beach and do water sports, there is a shop and places to eat and drink or have an ice cream too. We also got the ferry to Mogan from the island at Anfi. All in all a great place to stay and I

First impression is the location! We had a rental car, but on a day to day basis hoped to do lots of walking, ocean swimming and al fresco dining during our week’s holiday, so we parked the car except for a few day trips. To go anywhere from this hotel, you have to take the steep road down the hill, or follow the 175 steps to the level of the shops, restaurants and beach. For us senior citizens who wanted to enjoy a drink with our dinner, the 175 steps was too daunting coming up, so we had to get a taxi back every evening. The hotel handed us a leaflet when we checked in, saying we could contact reception 24 hours a day from the phone in our room. However, there was no phone in our room! One thing we did have was a safe. However, they charged €3 per day to use it! Considering the loss of reputation the hotel would suffer if passports or money were stolen, this policy seems cheap and ill-advised. There was a small pool for our pleasure. However, we had to give a deposit of €10 for well worn towels! - and pay a further euro for a replacement! Breakfast was adequate, but uninspired - boring long before the 7th day! Beds were awful, two tiny beds pushed together. Room is not serviced at all on Wednesdays or Sundays. Overall, nothing impressed, and many things disappointed. We won’t go back.
