As a regularly visitor to Maspalomas I’ve stayed in many hotels in the area and now come back consistently to AxelBeach as it provides the best combination of friendly staff, size of hotel room and an amazing location.
From Kevin and Carmen on the front desk, to the bar, kitchen and cleaning staff, everyone is always incredibly friendly (and efficient). The rooms are incredibly clean with a daily cleaning service available This is an older hotel that was updated a couple of years ago to provide a modern environment. The rooms are like mini-apartments, with a separate bedroom, bathroom and living space incorporating a small kitchenette. I would recommend paying the extra to be on the pool/garden side of the hotel, though all the rooms are around the same size. The food service (breakfast and lunch) has improved considerably over the last couple of years and is now very enjoyable and sensibly priced.
The hotel is a comfortable 5 mins walk to the Yumbo centre, with many restaurants and shops in close proximity. The beach is also walking distance from the hotel. The hotel has one of the largest pools in the area, though as with most on Gran Canaria it’s not heated.
The guests have a wide range of ages which makes it more interesting. During festivals etc the hotel is very busy, outside of these has a more relaxed vibe. Regardless of age, I’ve always found the majority of guests here very friendly and nice.
If you’re looking for a hotel near the action, that has a nice vibe
