Abora Catarina by Lopesan Hotels

Our stay at Abora Catarina is absolutely wonderful! We stayed in room 364 and sad to be leaving tomorrow. The hotel has such a warm and friendly atmosphere that made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We spent so many happy hours by the lovely pools, which are clean, bright, and perfect for relaxing. A huge thank you to the very kind staff; their genuine smiles and helpfulness truly made our holiday special. The food was delicious with a fantastic variety to choose from every day. Plus, having easy access to the stunning Maspalomas Dunes for sunset walks was a dream. We leave feeling incredibly happy! / Madeleine and Joy

This year I stayed twice at the 3-star Abora Continental, and both stays were excellent. That is exactly why I decided to book the 4-star Catarina, expecting a better standard or at least something not worse. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The staff deserve special recognition – friendly, polite and very professional. Sadly, this is where the positives mostly end. The food was of very low quality and extremely repetitive, with almost the same dishes every day. Food was often missing and guests had to wait, as meals were served in very small portions. Despite having an all-inclusive package, I had to eat outside the hotel several times. The rooms are very poorly soundproofed. Late at night, noise from children running in the corridors and in the room above was clearly audible, with sounds carrying through the walls and ceilings. In addition, from early morning there was construction work in the building opposite the hotel, which significantly affected rest. The bed consisted of two single beds pushed together, but there was no locking mechanism. Because the beds are on wheels, they constantly moved apart. Throughout the stay, either my wife and I slept separately or had to squeeze into one bed, which was very uncomfortable. The pool area feels very concrete-heavy and offers nothing special. For such a large hotel, I expected much better facilities. The games area is also poorly designed – the indoor billiard table is not properly lit, while the outdoor ping-pong and billiard tables are placed directly at the pool entrance, under an open sky and a very strong white halogen light, completely ruining the evening atmosphere. The area in front of the hotel also feels very concrete and uninviting. To sum up: Gran Canaria is a wonderful destination, but unfortunately this hotel did not meet my expectations. I will not return. I can honestly recommend Abora Continental, but I cannot recommend Catarina. Additionally, during lunch and dinner the coffee and tea machines in the dining area were not working. Guests were sent upstairs to use the machines in the main lobby, which is completely unacceptable for an all-inclusive hotel.

The hotel is big, lot is space, big rooms, nice swimming pools and freindly staff. The all you can eat buffet is rather on the quantity than on the quality side, but for such a huge amount of people is kind of expected. And they try to change the offer every day. However I think that the ratio quality price is not really high. Some corners are definitely used and would need a little bit of refreshment. If you can find a nice offer/discount I would say it is a nice place.

Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations. We would like to give a special mention to two outstanding members of staff at Abora Catarina, Alberto and Tom. Alberto was incredibly friendly and supportive throughout our stay — always smiling, approachable, and ready to help with anything we needed. His positive attitude truly made a difference every single day. Tom impressed us with his excellent English skills and his deep knowledge of the area. Thanks to his recommendations, we discovered the best spots on the island and learned so much about Gran Canaria itself. The information he shared was extremely valuable and made our trip even more special. Both Alberto and Tom played a huge role in making our stay unforgettable. If we ever decide to return to this hotel, it will be because of them. Guys, thank you so much for your amazing hospitality — you are truly an asset to the hotel! I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone. I especially appreciated the quiet atmosphere and the overall sense of comfort throughout the property. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay.

This hotel is a decent location it’s near playa del ingles and the sand dunes, excellent for photographers and a nice stroll to the beach. The service and entertainment here is excellent, very friendly staff, who speak a range of languages such as English, Spanish, Dutch, German and French. The kids & adults entertainment is very good throughout the day & evening. My only concern is the sizing of the rooms, we booked a family room for 3 adults and one toddler, we received one double bed ( which was just two singles next to each other) and one single bed. So I don’t feel as though a single bed is appropriate for a toddler especially not at the height it was at. Despite the room we had a lovely time and appreciated the hospitality.
