4* Gloria Palace San Agustin Thalasso & Hotel

4* Gloria Palace San Agustin Thalasso & Hotel

Gran Canaria, Spain

Star Rating: ****

In the seaside resort of San Agustin – Maspalomas’ sleepier neighbour – Gloria Palace is a place where you can kick back, relax, and soak up the Canarian sunshine. Beach days will be a cinch here, with two stretches of sand to choose from – both within a handy, 15-minute stroll of the hotel.

Prefer a pool day? You’ll be pleased with the offering here. With two pools for adults, a dedicated swim spot for the kids, and even a splash park with a couple of slides, there’s more than enough to keep the whole family busy. Activities-wise you can expect the likes of table tennis, tennis, and archery, plus there’s a well-kitted out gym for any fitness fanatics. There’s also an on-site bicycle centre so you can get out and explore the surrounding area on two wheels.

A stay here wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the hotel’s pride and joy – the thalasso therapy centre. The pool offering in the centre is something else. Start with a dip in the sea water circuit – where you can expect hydromassage stations, microbubble seats, and waterfalls – before moving onto the fitness pool where the sea water is heated to a lovely 33°C. And then there’s the treatments. Think massages, mud baths, hydrotherapies, and peels, to name just a few.

Wondering what the food set-up is like? The main restaurant deals in all-you-can-eat buffets, so bring your appetite. Head up to the ninth floor, meanwhile, and you can treat yourself to an à la carte offering of Basque dishes that comes with a panoramic view of the Maspalomas Dunes. Next-door you’ll find a chill-out zone with hammocks for hire – perfect for a bit of me-time. A handful of bars round out the offering here, including the lounge bar which is home to live music, dancing, and international entertainment five times a week, so grab a chair!
