Apartamentos Corona Roja

“Exceeded expectations after reading some of the reviews on here..”

Now I'll start off by saying we are not afraid of booking 2* hotels, as we have done this a few times in the past and been pleasantly surprised - this was definitely no exception.

Now I'll start off by saying we are not afraid of booking 2* hotels, as we have done this a few times in the past and been pleasantly surprised - this was definitely no exception. We visited for 1 week from 29th Oct with 2 adults and 2 young children (5,8). We stayed in room 1303 I think it was - yes it was on the 13th floor and even though there were 3 lifts, it did take a while to wait for one - but that's our choice to be lazy, we could've taken the stairs. We had a 2 bedroom apartment - Yes it was a little dated but it was clean and very spacious. To be honest when I booked I'm sure it said no balcony and only a window, so we were very happy when we arrived with a large balcony and quite frankly the best view we'd had from a hotel so far. The shower worked fine, only think i will say is that over night there was always a strong sewage smell that came from the drains... but we just put the taps on for 5 mins and it would disappear. Ideal base for exploring the island. We had a hire car and we never struggled with finding space to park. Walking distance to shops and restaurants nearby - further to walk to Maspalomas but it was a nice walk on the front with the cats, which the kids loved. The supermarket shop next to the hotel is actually really cheap, even for the sun cream so go there first. Short walk to the beach - again you can stop nearby or walk along to the dunes, really nice walk. The pool wasn't heated and I only dabbled in it - I will compare to hose pipe temperature. The kids had no issues with it, although a little chilly once they were out! Food was the only downside I think really. We stayed all inclusive and yes there was always something to eat but it literally was a choice of meat or fish, with a type of potato. Churros for breakfast though with chocolate spread to dip in - happy days. We had steak on the first day lunch, but I think we peaked then - it was really nice though. But again it's a 2* hotel - no one became ill and we always found something and the kids didn't starve.. so win. All in all would we return? yes we would, probably the same time again. No fighting for a sunbed, all really relaxed. One thing i will say is there is no indoor pool like some of the sites advertise... it seems they have opened that out into the dining area now and boarded over it. Really not sure why they don't put kids entertainment on.. they have a projector for music videos... why not do a 30 - 60 min section of party songs for the kids... easy. Happy travels!

“It was okay”

Very average, tv had to be paid, covered pool under the dance floor with showers still being there, service wasn’t really helpful, no soap or hygiene products in the hotel room overall not a great hotel but if you like budget hotels then sure i
