Hotel Ritual Maspalomas - Adults Only

The hotel is located within a 2 minute walk to the Jumbo Center and is a 20-minute walk to the beach. The rooms were clean and tidy. The hotel reception/ staff was very helpful and kind.

First off, we didn't plan to stay at this hotel so I can't give an accurate review of what it would be like to stay for a holiday but we were very happy with what we got. Our flight got cancelled due to a storm in the UK so we managed to get rooms here at midnight for a decent price (€150 for a twin apartment) for a last minute, one-night-only stay. These aren't rooms so much as mini apartments and you get a bedroom (twin beds in our case), a lounge/diner area, balcony, and bathroom. Everywhere was clean and tidy, if a little dated (the wardrobe doors were starting to look tired but there was a lot of space inside). The beds were comfortable and a welcome relief after a stressful day of cancelled travel. This hotel is obviously geared towards those who want to party and/or entertain whoever they meet and it's adults only for that reason. There are leaflets for cabaret nights and boat parties in reception if you want that kind of thing, or maybe one of the advertised massages is more your choice of relaxation? The decor is colourful and the bathroom comes complete with shiny and mirrored walls that cover every angle! The kitchen facilities are basic with a fridge, hot plate, and a couple of utilities but I reckon that most people who stay here aren't going to be cooking grand meals in the apartment. As for the location, it's very convenient to the nightlife and it backs on to the Yumbo Centre, which is a literal 2 minute walk away. This of course comes with added noise from the bars but with the windows and balcony doors shut, that wasn't an issue. It might be different on hot nights so maybe invest in some ear plugs if you're trying to get a good night's sleep, although that may not be the intention for everyone here! The pool looked nicely maintained and the poolside bar (complete with attractive barman) was open in the morning, so you could start your day early if you like. The staff were all very friendly and helpful too, so we have no complaints. I appreciate that not every room in a hotel will be to the same standard but ours were satisfactory and we were glad of having somewhere to stay that was within a few minutes walk of the bus stop so we could get back to the airport in the morning! Although we were travelling with family this time round, my partner and I are seriously considering staying here in future when we go away with just the two of us. We didn't take any photos as we were tired and just needed to get in and get out without too much mucking about.
