- Gran Canaria Holidays
- Playa del Ingles
- Maritim Playa

This family-friendly holiday hotel is situated in the centre of Playa del Inglés, opposite the shopping centres “Kasbah”, “Plaza” and “Metro”. The renowned promenade and the beach are only 200 m and 400 m away, respectively. The dunes of Maspalomas are easily reachable. The hotel features 24-hour reception, internet access, restaurant, bar, wellness, outdoor pool, children's pool, laundry service and car hire. Pets allowed on request (charges may apply).
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
If you are an animal lover visiting Maspalomas, you might want to think twice about staying here or supporting a business with this kind of management.
While feeding a few local stray cats in the area (all of whom are sterilized, well-cared for, and meticulously cleaned up after—with local shopkeepers as witnesses), I was confronted in an aggressive and condescending manner by the manager of Aparthotel Maritim Playa. He rudely claimed it was "illegal" and that it ruined the hotel's image, completely ignoring the fact that countless tourists and locals actually care for and appreciate these animals.
It is unfortunate that a hotel management team chooses intimidation over basic civic courtesy and empathy toward locals who ensure these animals are fed and managed responsibly. There are civilized ways to communicate, not street-level harassment. I cannot recommend a place where the administration behaves this way toward community welfare efforts.
We have been here two weeks now and we have enjoyed the hotel immensely , staff are very friendly and helpful , cleaning personel are their everyday ,, breakfast was a bit of a unusual setup to begin with , one must fill out what you want in a form so it comes to the table ,,but there's plenty to choose from and you can take so much you want , love the pool and room we had was great , loved the sunsets , personel on the desk were great , the hotel caters mainly for Germans ,but I see that as a good standard mark As Arnie said "I'll be Back" Thanks from Seamus &Katri
Vacation at this hotel is over. I’ll break everything down point by point: — There are cockroaches in the rooms! — Expired products are being served, such as ketchup and mayonnaise (I am attaching photos). — Very noisy. Absolutely no sleep. Because of the discos (at night) and because of breakfast (in the morning) — staff shout loudly and make a lot of noise moving things around early in the morning. And during the day they do reconstruction — repairing empty rooms on the third floor. Why they do renovations in the summer season is unclear. — Food is à la carte. Breakfast does not always match the menu. It says “fresh papaya or mango,” but in fact everything comes from cans (canned fruit). This type of breakfast is not for everyone. Often you are afraid to take too much, then feel embarrassed to leave it, so you force yourself to eat it. But you won’t stay hungry. The coffee is bad. — Dinner is a disaster. The cook is apparently not a professional. Everything is tasteless, poor in variety, and not always fresh. Monotonous — just a basic salad at the buffet, which is often empty. The wine is of average quality. Spoiled juices are served, expired ketchup, and so on. I’ll attach a photo of one example. Also, if in the morning you ordered fish for dinner, but in the evening you suddenly want meat, you cannot change it unless you pay extra. With half board plus you only get one drink included. — Most of the staff are good. Especially noteworthy: a strong girl with a braid at breakfast — hardworking and polite. A tall blonde from the Netherlands — creative and attentive, works both breakfast and dinner shifts. Salvatore from Italy — works occasionally, but also at breakfasts and dinners. Sidi is also very good, he tries hard. At the reception all the men are very attentive, especially Detlev. — Bed linen and towels are worn out. Cleaning was good only on the first day when we checked in, later it was mediocre. A couple of times they forgot to clean at all. But there were always enough supplies, and the room itself is nice and comfortable. — Not enough loungers at the pool, because people reserve them in advance. — There is no entertainment in the hotel except bingo. — The price for the hotel is reasonable. I do not recommend it for families with children or for elderly people — you can go crazy from the constant noise, both at night and during the day. It is suitable for young people looking for a short burst of fun. And for those who care more about being at the seaside than all the disadvantages listed above — since the sea is only 10 minutes away from the hotel.
I had booked into hotel karina I didn’t even stay there that night I left it was awful. I went to this hotel it was late at night and they were so accommodating and helpful. The whole stay was amazing the staff were so friendly the breakfast was fabulous the sun does shine on terrace up until evening time then the sun has gone past hotel but this shouldn’t deter there is a fabulous jacuzzi in the pool area loads of beds we literally had pool to ourselves most days we loved our stay here couldn’t fault this hotel at all
Hotel itself not bad but pool area is dire. Sun only manages to shine on a few sun beds owing to the hotel building itself blocking it out. Only ever seen the beds along the wall in use. They do have big double beds on a roof terrace which can catch the sun but by about midday the sun disappears over the hotel. As a sun worshipper I wouldn’t stay here as most of the area is in the dark. This was December/January, iv no idea what it’s like in high summer. This is a shame as the area itself is perfect to get around.
