Playamar Bungalows

After reading countless reviews from returning guests, I finally understand why people come back to this hotel year after year. Playamar Bungalows is a fantastic and affordable place to stay in Gran Canaria. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the rooms are clean and recently refurbished—something I was initially concerned about, especially since the booking platforms seem to use outdated photos. Thankfully, the reality exceeded my expectations. The pool area is great, with sunbeds always available whenever you want to relax. The receptionist is incredibly kind and welcoming, and a special thanks goes to the housekeeping lady, who truly goes the extra mile to ensure a comfortable stay. I will definitely be returning—this hotel is a true hidden gem.

Decent location, 10-15 minute walk to the Yumbo Centre, 5 minute walk to beach. Check in was easy, staff were friendly. The room (2 storey) is very basic, has air con in both bedroom upstairs and living area downstairs. The decor, furniture and general appearance of the rooms are very dull and basic, they need a good refurb. We were allowed to check out late, however the reception is not open 24 hours so no1 was at reception to check out and no where to store luggage for our late flight. I’d stay again for the right price but wouldn’t be rushing back

We had the most amazing time. Playamar Bunglows are right beside the beach and only 10 mins from the Yumbo Centre. There's so much to do and see all around. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, the place was absolutely spotless. I highly recommend this place and will definitely stay again.
