The Botanical Park of Maspalomas (El parque Botánico de Maspalomas) is a nice little (covers an area of 12.000 m2) botanical park located at the end of the golf area in Maspalomas, right at the bottom of the hill which takes you to Playa del Ingles. Because of the location it has a special microclimate. It has about 50 different species, ranging from a vide variety of palms from all over the world to all kinds of vegetables, medicinal and aromatic plants. It has a nice sitting area where you can rest and look at the beautiful plants and trees.

The resort itself is very poor regarding night life, there is none, no bars or restaurants and a very poor beach made of sharp volcanic sand so it's really only suited to couples looking for a quiet break

Didn't like teh hotel that we stayed in but much liked the resort of Gran Canaria, we can recomend this as a great family destination as there is something for every one of all ages here, if you can get a good cheap holiday here then this is a good place for a family holiday.

This is a very part of gran canaria with the lovely sand dunes and the sea was so warm even in may when it is not the height of their season. There are a few shops, restaurants etc, that we found were nice and we were felt it was the right resort for us as we wanted something a little quieter. If you are into the nightlife then not the place for you but if you want to relax in the pretty surroundings and not be overun by 18-30 revellers then maspolomas is the place for you.

we loved it, walked for miles, went to the next resort of peurto rica which was equally as good if not better! Lots of restaurants to eat in at different price range from low to high depending on what type of food you required. Beaches good, nightlife exciting and plenty of sunshine!

Also little to do for kids on and around the beach, so bring your own stuff. The city centre is boring too, I went to PLaya del Inglés every night! I'm never going back here, I'll try to find something else next time!!!

We liked Maspalomas. The kids loved the beach, we liked exploring the sand dunes and there is plenty in the resort to keep you entertained. It isn’t too noisy, we will be returning no doubt.

Resort was better than the hotel and all the family loved the resort but we would find somewhere else to stay if we went back to Gran Canaria again - the beaches were good and plenty of Cafes, Bars and places to eat so you are totally spoiled for choice here

San Agustin review
"Quiet and relaxing surroundings"
resort to a friend
San Agustín is a quiet part of the southern part of Gran Canaria, and rather more pleasant than Playa Inglés and Maspalomas, both within easy reach.
We found a restaurant/bar called 'El Capitan' along the paseo, which was excellent, for food, service and friendliness.
