Abora Catarina by Lopesan Hotels

We had a fantastic week at Abora Catarina! It’s a great hotel, especially when travelling with children. Water slides, a kids’ club, and all‑inclusive with well‑stocked buffets offering something for everyone. The staff are friendly, patient, and always cheerful – a special thank to Katia at the buffet. The entertainment team is amazing, although we would have preferred the evening shows to start a little earlier. The hotel also has a perfect location close to the sand dunes and within walking distance of Meloneras, Playa del Inglés, and the Cita and Yumbo shopping centres. We’ve had a wonderful week filled with sun and swimming – a perfect break from the dark Swedish January.

We thought the hotel was fabulous in many ways and would book again without hesitation. The majority of staff are all amazing and polite. The whole of the hotel is cleaned to a high standard and always looks nice. The pool and sunbeds area is mopped down everyday. The cleaning staff do a tremendous job and work very hard. Food and drinks are very good, and as most people must be on the all inclusive board basis, you can eat as much as you want. It's a novelty for the first week until you have just over fed yourself and start eating a bit less. The hotel grounds are lovely and well maintained, they have put numerous small relaxing areas amongst trees or on different levels, so there is somewhere for everyone to find their space. They have an outdoor mini theatre where the animation team put on shows most nights. They work very hard and produce a good quality of entertainment, but, it is all based on the same theme, dance moves, to well known films or shows. It's good but could do with having some variation, like other hotels do by bringing in outside entertainers. Acrobats, jugglers, that type of thing. But don't get me wrong the animation team are amazing and lovely people. Huge hotel that can require a lot of walking, so if you are a little infirm, request a room close to the central area. Located only about a quarter of a mile to the dunes or promenade, and a similar distance to the nearest shopping centre, so a great position generally.

The hotel needs plenty of a renovation. The corridors especially and the lifts look run down and old. I booked it because it's a part of lopesan group and I had a great experience with their 2 other hotels in gran canaria's Meloneras. Sadly this wasn't fully the case with Abora Catarina. The hotel grounds look nice, with plenty of beautiful plants and greeneries; the swimming pools too, even though crowded. But this hotel is mostly for big families with small children. Absolutely not ideal for a single traveller who wants to spend some relaxing time at the pool or on the balcony. Children were literally everywhere, running, shouting having fun as they should. So if that's your thing - great! Unfortunately I didn't expect it to such an extent. I think next time I'll book an adult only property. On a positive side, the food is really nice and the staff very helpful. The coffee for all inclusive guests is horrible, though, and you have to pay extra for the coffee from the proper pressure coffee machines that they have at the bar. In my room the balcony door was broken and I couldn't lock it properly and the toilet flush stopped working. This was rectified fairly fast. Also the location is amazing - 5 min to the beautiful dunes of Maspalomas and 15 min walk to Yumbo centre for some night life. All in all ok, but very loud and the coffee is just dire...

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

We really enjoyed our stay at Abora Hotel. Everything was at a very good level. The attractions were well organized and provided great entertainment for both adults and children. The food deserves special praise – a wide variety of dishes, all fresh and very tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole hotel was clean and well maintained. The surrounding area is also very nice and pleasant to explore. We definitely recommend this hotel and would love to come back again! Room246
