Corona Roja Apartments

I'm genuinely at a loss to comprehend the negativity on these reviews. I don't recognise any of the complaints. Firstly, this IS a 2 star hotel. So this really does have to be taken into consideration when reading (and writing) reviews. I stayed here with my extended family, age range from 7 years yo 86 years old). All 11 of of us thoroughly enjoyed our 1st holiday to Gran Canaria at this hotel. We had 4 rooms between us (813, 911, 1204 and 1309) all were clean and 3 of them spacious. 911 and 1309 had new bathrooms with walk in showers). The staff were all very friendly, and a special mention to Angelo who epitomises this warm friendly, caring atmosphere. He's a real credit to the hotel. Mentions also for Naela, Carlos and Roberto who were all so friendly and accomodating. We were happy with the food at all meal times. Perfectly fine for a 2 star hotel. The pool is a bit cold, but it didnt stop us all from enjoying it. We would be very happy to stay here again if we visit Gran Canaria again. It's in a good location with the beach just 100 metres away and bars/restaurants within 5 minutes walk.

Stayed here in mid February with my husband and 2 kids aged 6 and 13. We actually mixed thus hotel up with corona blanca which is more centrally located however we are frequent visitors to this area of gran canaria as we have friends who stay there so we were familiar with the area. It's about a 30min walk into central maspalomas and we walked along the beach most days. Check in was quick and reception staff were lovely. Make sure you print your confirmation as they don't accept just on your phone. I had to try and connect my phone to their printer to allow them to check us in. It wasn't a big issue tbh and check in was quick after this. We were in room 813 which has amazing views and we were just off of the lifts so convenient. I'm sure these rooms on each floor are the biggest as most of these were bought. Our room was a massive 2 bed with 2 balconies. 1 very very breezy though - omg!! Shower good. No smells, furniture abut dated however done the job for a week! Lifts take bloody ages tho and are very small so we always used the method walk down stairs and up in lift! All inclusive breakfast no complaints. On until 10am then nothing until 11am - when you can get your all inc drinks. Plenty to choose from at breakfast. Kids can get Ice cream from 10.30am. Lunch is 1 til 2.230pm - plenty to choose from for kids especially- pasta pizza, hot dogs, burgers, salads, soups and cakes. If they could have continued this into your dinner meal this would have been good for my kids. There was no separate kids buffet at dinner (served from 6pm) kids ate what adults had and to be honest my 6yr old turned his nose up at several evening dishes which wasn't good as he wasn't getting a proper meal. One evening I remember him having only mashed potatoes or chips as a choice as he didn't like the strange looking fish, strange looking pork and friend veggies (which was mainly peppers and courgettes). So we ended up having to eat out sometimes. This was our first time all inc in Gran Canaria as every other time we choose a more central apartment and go self catering. If you have children I'd recommend this - this isn't very good hotel for kids! Pool good size but bloody FREEZING!! and you don't get used to it. In past we've had apartment with heated pool and I'm sticking to this for next visit to CG! not very many kids around thus hotel and kids that were there (very few) spoke German. This is more of a German hotel I'd say than British. Most staff were very pleasant apart from one guy who worked in restuarant (bald older man) he was quite rude and didn't seem to engage with us at all unless we very buying something. If you asked for an all inc drink he was very dismissive. The wine was very good on all inclusive but that was it. After a few days I got fed up of all inclusive so I definately wouldn't do it again. Rooms cleaned 5 out of 7 days and maid were friendly. It was an OKAY stay but I wouldn't book here again unfortunately- sorry!

We’re surprised how nice, cozy , clean the room we’ve had in this hotel. We stay in 1312 room and it has 2 balcony with chairs and tables with ocean view which we liked it very much and the staff were so kind also. Location is good. Would recommend it to anyone. Food is good not a lot of choices but you will never be hungry, breakfast have bacon egg and 2 kinds of sausages, and some fruits, croissants, fruits. Its a good value for money 👍 Would probably come back
