Corona Roja Apartments

Now I'll start off by saying we are not afraid of booking 2* hotels, as we have done this a few times in the past and been pleasantly surprised - this was definitely no exception. We visited for 1 week from 29th Oct with 2 adults and 2 young children (5,8). We stayed in room 1303 I think it was - yes it was on the 13th floor and even though there were 3 lifts, it did take a while to wait for one - but that's our choice to be lazy, we could've taken the stairs. We had a 2 bedroom apartment - Yes it was a little dated but it was clean and very spacious. To be honest when I booked I'm sure it said no balcony and only a window, so we were very happy when we arrived with a large balcony and quite frankly the best view we'd had from a hotel so far. The shower worked fine, only think i will say is that over night there was always a strong sewage smell that came from the drains... but we just put the taps on for 5 mins and it would disappear. Ideal base for exploring the island. We had a hire car and we never struggled with finding space to park. Walking distance to shops and restaurants nearby - further to walk to Maspalomas but it was a nice walk on the front with the cats, which the kids loved. The supermarket shop next to the hotel is actually really cheap, even for the sun cream so go there first. Short walk to the beach - again you can stop nearby or walk along to the dunes, really nice walk. The pool wasn't heated and I only dabbled in it - I will compare to hose pipe temperature. The kids had no issues with it, although a little chilly once they were out! Food was the only downside I think really. We stayed all inclusive and yes there was always something to eat but it literally was a choice of meat or fish, with a type of potato. Churros for breakfast though with chocolate spread to dip in - happy days. We had steak on the first day lunch, but I think we peaked then - it was really nice though. But again it's a 2* hotel - no one became ill and we always found something and the kids didn't starve.. so win. All in all would we return? yes we would, probably the same time again. No fighting for a sunbed, all really relaxed. One thing i will say is there is no indoor pool like some of the sites advertise... it seems they have opened that out into the dining area now and boarded over it. Really not sure why they don't put kids entertainment on.. they have a projector for music videos... why not do a 30 - 60 min section of party songs for the kids... easy. Happy travels!

I'm genuinely at a loss to comprehend the negativity on these reviews. I don't recognise any of the complaints. Firstly, this IS a 2 star hotel. So this really does have to be taken into consideration when reading (and writing) reviews. I stayed here with my extended family, age range from 7 years yo 86 years old). All 11 of of us thoroughly enjoyed our 1st holiday to Gran Canaria at this hotel. We had 4 rooms between us (813, 911, 1204 and 1309) all were clean and 3 of them spacious. 911 and 1309 had new bathrooms with walk in showers). The staff were all very friendly, and a special mention to Angelo who epitomises this warm friendly, caring atmosphere. He's a real credit to the hotel. Mentions also for Naela, Carlos and Roberto who were all so friendly and accomodating. We were happy with the food at all meal times. Perfectly fine for a 2 star hotel. The pool is a bit cold, but it didnt stop us all from enjoying it. We would be very happy to stay here again if we visit Gran Canaria again. It's in a good location with the beach just 100 metres away and bars/restaurants within 5 minutes walk.

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 !
