Stayed June 2026
We recently stayed at the
Barcelona Margaritas Hotel in Gran Canaria and, overall, had a lovely holiday.
The hotel is in a great location, with easy access to local amenities. Our room was excellent—very spacious, comfortable, and cleaned to a high standard every day. The food was good, with enough choice, and the majority of the staff were lovely, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay.
Unfortunately, our departure day was disappointing. We had a late flight and had been advised the day before to book a shower room early the next morning. When we went to reception at 8am, a rather unfriendly receptionist told us there were no shower rooms available because the hotel was busy. We were told to get changed in the toilets by the main pool, where there were only two cubicles and only one working tap. This wasn’t ideal and took away from what had otherwise been a very enjoyable stay.
On a much more positive note, the hotel somehow knew it was my birthday and surprised me with a bottle of fizz and a selection of macarons in our room. It was a lovely, thoughtful gesture that was very much appreciated and made my day extra special.
Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend the hotel. The only area that could be improved is the handling of late departures and access to shower facilities.
Nice rooms but poor food
Hotel was very average. The rooms were nice to stay in and kept very clean but the main pool was always busy as not many sunbeds and the other pools floor was all pulled away and broken. Food was also incredibly similar each night, fruit was the nicest part of it. Quite different from all the other barcelo hotels we have been to previously. The different hotels of the company we have been to we had been very impressed so was a shame.
Relaxing stay
Enjoyed our stay at this hotel rooms spotless beds really comfortable food good always something to eat drinks good only down fall not much entertainment at night

First time here half board
Stayed here for the first time and the hotel was beautiful. However, some things dissatisfied me abit. Firstly, no toilets outside, this meant that you have to walk from pool side all the way inside wich is abit of a game when ur soaking wet as your not allowed in wet
Secondly, we arrived late saturday night and missed tea time we was told they had a late arrival buffet in the restaurant wich was just fruit and bread however the bread was stale. so on the last day we was getting picked up around 5PM so i walked in the restaurant so i can take back my dinner that i missed the first day and i felt uncomfortable and left my food because the lady let me in and she knew i was leaving late that day so as i sat with my food the restaurant manager ( i think it was anyways bald guy) he came over and was understanding but was told no longer a guest after checkout wich i think is stupid check-in should be when you arrive so reason why i left my food was because of how uncomfortable i was
Thirdly i understand half board means just breakfast and tea with one drink the free drink was one water then you have to pay for the next glass of water. In my opinion you shouldn’t have to pay for water as i’ve never known anywhere like it as it’s essential.
Entertainment could’ve been abit better during the night as 2 out of 7 nights there was only a singer on and the indoor bar could’ve been opened as outdoor bar was extremely busy
and finally the food, it was nice however some parts of the food wasn’t cooked and looked near enough the same food every night
However the hotel was beautiful and maintained and the rooms were very clean and staff was friendly
