Corona Roja Apartments

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 are here right now! Honestly could not fault anything about our stay.. really unsure about the negative reviews Arrived at the hotel and check-in was prompt and reception staff were very polite.. We stayed on the 4th floor and benefited from a refurbished room which was spacious and spotless clean, room was cleaned every day we have been here The staff are fantastic and have been nothing short of helpful.. special mention to Angel who walks around with a smile on his face and is always on hand to answer questions or have a chat! 👍 Great location.. spacious hotel with great pool and plenty of sunbeds! We have never struggled for choice with the food.. it's your typical all inclusive.. we have enjoyed every meal and have been able to mix it up every day.. what do people want? 😂 Would definitely return! Thank you Corona Roja for an amazing break 😎 we will DEFINITELY be back!

10 out 10 perfect local Close to shops and beach Staff lovley View from top amazing It has everything you need on your site ,a small walk takes you to dancing square next to Irish centre for a relaxing evening of sun .and if after some fast food go for patatas bravas, delicious 😋 also yumbo not far with sparkles 🦋

All staff very rude bar one English woman Dawn. Food is very limited. BRUSSELL SPROUTS WAS A MAIN DISH ONE NIGHT!! Local beer Is OK, rest of options very poor. If u like to get up at 6am and go to bed at 8.30pm this is the place for you as the hotel expect quietness at 8.30/9 although all inclusive is on to 11pm. Absolute nothing to do for kids bar air hockey and dated pool table. No entertainment atall or a heated pool. Playing cards to try and get through the boredom is forbidden after 9pm also. If your staying at room 100 which is actually a half decent room be prepared to pay extra for the veranda lock that keeps bending and been straightened out and used again. Also if too loud 200 euro charge is applied and threatened with eviction if loss of money if doesn't improve. ( try telling a 4 and 6 year old that who are excited they are on holiday) utter shambles of a place. Kitchen where food is looks manky aswell !

If you fly into las palmas airport you can get the number 66 bus to these apartments - corona roja apartments are on the gc500 carriageway at junction 43 - it's an imposing big building reminiscent of a prison - upon arrival I was allocated room number 205 on the second floor - this is one of the supposedly updated apartments and yes it was functional and quite modern with a decent kitchen and bathroom with shower - everything in room 205 works - entry to the apartment is by old fashioned key for which you pay a refundable deposit of 20 euros - the twin beds are of memory foam and are very comfortable - maids clean the room every day however don't change the sheets whatsoever - there is no air conditioning nor is there a fan in the room - I personally purchased a fan from the Carrefour store in Vicendario - this accommodation offers little for children and is mainly occupied by adults - disabled people will struggle in this complex - the pool area is fairly large with adequate sun beds - WiFi is free only in the reception area however you can pay for WiFi access in your room from the reception - television in the apartments is a payable option by a coin box - one euro per hour - one of the channels on offer is of an adult theme - I chose all inclusive however breakfast only is available - with regards to all inclusive the local beer and spirits were acceptable - the food was mediocre verging on the inedible - breakfast was fairly decent however lunch and evening meal was abysmal - I chose to eat out on many an occasion - by the way the elevators are not that bad contrary to others opinions - to conclude you get what you pay for at Corona Roja apartments - don't expect four star standards when you pay for hostal prices - would I return - unfortunately not

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
