This place is amazing! The rooms are good quality. The social areas are good.The negative part of this hotel is the food. It is very low quality buffè food. Some times I wonder if they even know how to cook food. It’s eatable but not very good.I recommend to go out and eat at least 2-3 days per week.The coffee is questionable it has a hi level of sugar in it, and it’s very sweet.Positive is the unlimited supply of beer, wine and soda.The location is amazing. You have a walking distance to the fantastic beach. With beautiful views.I also recommend you rent a car and take a road trip around the island.

We went as a family 5 adults and 2 kids had the best time. The hotel is amazing with amazing staff, the minute we walked in Lidia.FA was so helpful and made it easy for us stay as my grandma came who is 89 years old and the hotel was perfect for the wheelchair and able to go everywhere in the hotel. We got upgraded to a Jacuzzi room which was the best and had a blast. The kids pool is cold and need maybe heated pool as this was the only thing we had an issue with and kids couldn’t enjoy as much as weather was not that hot. But overall 10 out of 10 for food, service and room.Big shout to the following staff who were super helpful Tom P, Alberto and Laura.LI would definitely go back to the hotel.

We had a great time, enjoyed the beautiful hotel and it's amenities. We stayed in room 330, from where we had a beautiful view into the garden. The hotel crew was very kind and friendly to us and our two children and the entire stay went well and was an relaxing experience.

Nice 3 star hotel, in a good spot for us. Animation team try really hard. Food is hit and miss but the Valentine’s buffet was outstanding. All the staff are very friendly. Paid for a deluxe view but only got a view of palm trees and nothing else (room 586), which wasn’t worth the extra £50+ to us, also room is too far away from the amenities so would definitely ask for a room closer. hotel is showing wear, it needs a good paint inside and the non rainforest shower head had no pressure which is really annoying.

We had lovely experience in rooms 184 and 186. 2 rooms for our family beside each other with great private terrace with chairs and sun beds for us own. The swimming pool for children and bar just behind the corner. Delicious food and a lot of activities for children. Highly recommend for families and adults too. Free bus going to the beach. I would love to come back here.

I would definitely recommend this Hotel for family vacations and those who have kids.my second time in this hotel.room 352.Animation team who do the entertainment are amazing and make kids happy during the day.Staff are friendly.Location is close to the shopping centers.Transport to the beach is available.Restaurant is clean and bar is offering services almost whole the day.An improvement is to add one more microwave out of the kitchen for small kids for warming up the food and milk.

Room 259Location of hotel next to the golden sand dunes is perfect. The all inclusive is great but the the drinks department is lacking (the the staff are very attentive and will make most things you ask for within reason… cocktails contain to much concentrated juice for my likes so ask to add little and fill with slushie 😎 oh and to top it off Jesus works here

Hotel Stay Review – Abora CatarinaMy stay at Abora Catarina was absolutely exceptional and definitely worth recommending!The first thing that impressed me greatly was the professional and extremely friendly staff. Every hotel employee was smiling, helpful, and ready to fulfill even the smallest requests from guests. I truly felt cared for, and their approach made the stay even more comfortable.We stayed in room 215, which was simply fantastic. The rooms in this hotel are in a class of their own. Cleanliness, aesthetics, and attention to detail were top-notch. The interior design combined modernity with coziness, making every evening spent in the room a real pleasure. Additionally, the equipment was very well thought out, and the bed was incredibly comfortable—perfect for relaxing after a long day.However, the biggest highlight of our stay was the food served at the hotel. Every meal was a true feast for the senses! The menu was very diverse, so everyone, regardless of their preferences, could find something they loved. All the dishes were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options, while lunches and dinners were a culinary adventure.In summary, my stay at Abora Catarina was an unforgettable experience. Excellent service, beautiful rooms, and delicious food made me eager to return at the next opportunity. Staying here turned out to be the best idea for my boyfriend’s birthday present!

We stayed at the Abora Catarina over New Year and I'd definitely recommend the hotel! The staff were always so very friendly and helpful. The cleanliness was excellent!! The hotel was always immaculate! The food and variation were great, everything was fresh and there was always plenty of it! The staff in the restaurant done amazing with the Hogmanay celebrations, from the decoration, food and entertainment!The pools were too cold which was a shame, they look great, especially the kids area but there was hardly anyone in this area as the water was just too cold, it needs to be heated, especially at this time of year.5 out of 5 for the Animation team, they were absolutely brilliant, always bringing so much energy, they went to a lot of effort every night with the children's disco and every show they done, they gave it there all!! Absolutely brilliant and as a family we enjoyed everything they done!

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in room 320, which offered lovely views of the gardens and very quiet . It's perfect for families with kids, thanks to the amazing animation team and the variety of activities and night-time shows. The pools and water park are excellent, and the all-inclusive package provided a great selection of food and snacks throughout the day, with beer and wine available on tap.The only improvement I could suggest is adding a snack station closer to the water park area. This would make it easier for kids to stay around and still have access to snacks.The hotel is just a two-minute walk from the beautiful dunes, There are plenty of facilities close by, easily accessible, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We have stayed at many hotels around the world. This is also a great hotel with clean rooms and a kind, polite staff, BUT… We have never seen an entertainment team like this before!!! They worked with such heart and passion that words cannot describe it. They were not only friendly and smiling, as most animators are in hotels, but the level of harmony, professionalism, and charisma this team had was something we had never experienced before. I can confidently say that we will return to this hotel as soon as possible just to meet this team again. We congratulate each member for their dedication and are grateful, as guests, that they contributed to our fantastic vacation. Thank a lot for you guys!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hotel Abora Catarina is a wonderful place for a peaceful and relaxing stay for couples of all ages.The food is absolutely exquisite – each meal offers a huge variety of dishes, from local specialties to international delicacies. We particularly enjoyed the small appetizers and delicious desserts, which are prepared with great attention to detail.Evenings at the hotel are full of excitement. Live shows, music, and performances provide great entertainment and unforgettable moments. Additionally, the hotel’s location is perfect – close to local shops, cafés, and beautiful places to explore.We stayed in room 353, which was spacious, clean, and very comfortable – ideal for relaxation after a day full of adventures. The hotel staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to help. Hotel Abora Catarina is a place we highly recommend – the tranquility, comfort, and excellent atmosphere make it a destination you’ll want to return to!

Not too much point to write a review when there are so many misleading 5 star reviews, but will share our honest experience. The hotel was very disappointing (definitely not a 4 star, more 3) for us and way below expectations, and we didn’t come with high hopes neither. The food is as about as low quality, bland, cold, basic & tasteless as you will ever find, and there is virtually nothing for young kids. Our kids ate bland pasta for 5 days as nothing else appealed. Its really not worth all-inclusive for these reasons. The rooms are quite large, but super basic and very old and damaged, although beds not the most uncomfortable. The worst of the rooms is the constant loud noise almost 24 hrs per day (shouting, screaming, people moving furniture in rooms, kids screaming) which is more like a cheap hotel in downtown Benidorm. Just an observation, the hotel attracts a ‘few’ very low class people who take the buffet food with their hands. The service in the hotel is very good on the other hand with very kind and friendly staff. Overall we like the area but wouldn’t ever go back to this hotel.

Stayed here again . Sadly i was ill with covid within 2 days so the stay wasn't what it could of been.Certain aspects of the hotel are looking tired but on the whole the stay was OK. All staff are hard working . Food was good . Please sort the drinks gun behind the bars the tonic had little or no gas it was reported but tasted just of syrup most of the time. Otherwise hopefully we will give it another go hopefully without illness

During my first visit in November for winter pride, it's my pleasure to say it was one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. Would definitely stay there again.The only one particular problem I had on a parade day was when my friend came to visit, so we would get ready for the parade. The bouncer wasn't allowed me to invite my friend even though I paid for the room, which I was surprised.But everything else was fantastic.

We had a lovely time staying in room 433. The view from the balcony was nice. The rooms are good and cleaned daily. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The entertainment team were awesome. The facilities are great and the hotel is only a short walk to the dunes!! Overall we had a fantastic time.

Here’s the review in English:Room 115We just stayed at this hotel, and there are both positives and negatives to share.Starting with the positives: the rooms are nice, and the hotel’s location is excellent. Cleanliness is up to standard, which we appreciated. However, it’s disappointing that the hotel advertises itself as newly renovated in 2017 – you can’t really tell. There are many areas that feel worn and in need of an update.We booked the premium all-inclusive package, but unfortunately, the bar staff seemed unaware of what was included. Despite certain items clearly being listed as included, we were denied access several times, and the staff had to ask colleagues for clarification. This created some frustration, as we didn’t receive the experience we expected.we even had to pay for a bottle of cava in the restaurant though it says on the website that it should be included.The food in the restaurant is okay, but nothing special. The hotel seems better suited for families with children looking for simple and accessible food, rather than for those seeking something more varied and flavorful.In summary, the hotel has its strengths, but some areas need improvement to live up to the standard they promise.

We are on our last day here at Hotel Catarina. We honestly can’t fault it. The room is lovely, (room 118), the beds are made daily and the bathroom cleaned. Always provided with fresh towels. The shower runs well, hairdryer actually has some power and the little added extras such as shower caps, shampoo, conditioners etc are great. There are tea and coffee making facilities, although I’m not sure if this is for every level of booking.Food, drink, staff and entertainment have been spot on.The hotel is perfect whether you want to be in the thick of activities or you just want the peace and quiet.Plenty more I could say, but I think this says enough.

Room number 371.At the beginning we were sad because we’d got the room with the street view. But it turned out to be great. Less noise, nice view for a living city and for the sunshine over the ocean. Tasty food, a lot of place to chill, everyday you can take a free bus to the beach. The staff very helpful. There could be at least one Polish channel in the television but that’s not such a problem. When the light bulb in the bathroom burned out, I didn't even have to report it to get it fixed. Would recommend.

Room 474I recently had the pleasure of staying at Abora Catarina by Lopesan Hotel and I can confidently say that it exceeded all of my expectations in every way possible. Originally, we were in a room on the front near the roundabout, which was just too loud for our 2 girls. The hotel reception team didn't hesitate to move us to the back of the property next to the tranquil pond below.Location:The hotel is perfectly situated, offering great views.Room:I stayed in the family room, and it was simply spectacular. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and beautifully decorated The bed comfortable and the view from the balcony was great, especially at sunset.Service:The service is what truly sets it apart. Every staff member I encountered was genuinely friendly, professional, and eager to go above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. They were incredibly attentive without being intrusive, anticipating my needs before I even had to ask. It felt like staying with friends who happened to run a five-star hotel.Dining:The food here is absolutely divine and always had a great selection to chose from.Facilities & Amenities:Whether you're lounging by the pool or indulging in a treatment at the spa, or exploring the nearby attractions, there's something for everyone and the fitness center was well-equipped for those wanting to keep up with their workout routines.Amazing stay, thank you

A lovely family weekend stay at the Abora Catarina. We stayed in Room 369 which is a family room with a good sized double bed, a small sofa bed, and a high bed, so plenty of room for our family of 2 adults and 2 children. The children enjoyed the slides and splash pool, and we all enjoyed the main pool together. Food and drinks on offer were a good standard, and entertainment was great for all the family. We hope to return soon.

Lovely hotel, we stayed in rooms 472, overlooking the beautiful grounds, and room 473 overlooking the front of the hotel, with a view of the sea in one direction and the hills in the other. Rooms are lovely and spacious and immaculately clean, as is the rest of the hotel. Food is good too, with plenty of choice. The entertainment team work hard keeping both kids and adults entertained, and they put so much effort into their shows on an evening. Definitely would recommend this hotel, brilliant for all ages

Stayed in room 409, great hotel in a fantastic location with the dunes a stones throw away, and a lovely walk along the promenade to the local beaches.The food was fantastic as well as the service. The animation team are fantastic and don't seem to ever stop putting on entertainmentThe kids splash zone is a fantastic touch.Easy access to bus routes as well which allow you to travel all over the island and to other attractions (for very reasonable prices too)Loved our stay for our first family holiday.

We have stayed at the Abora Catarina for 10 nights and have had the best holiday. Our room was number 365 and it was in a perfect location. It is mid way between the two pools and overlooks the kids club.We are a family of four with a 9 and 4 year old. There is so much to do for both ages and the whole family loved the water park.The food was lovely with a good range, which even worked for our pickie eater and even helped him try some new options.The animators are fantastic, so friendly and welcoming and they are great with all ages and their evening shows were brilliant especially summer nights.We can not speak highly enough of the hotel staff as a whole, from the reception staff to the housekeeping, bar and restaurant staff, everyone was so lovely and helpful.A special thank you to the lovely girl from one.pic who took such beautiful photos of our children. Would definitely recommend having the photos taken.We cannot speak highly enough of our experience. We will definitely be back

Stayed in 465. The hotel is spotless and the staff very friendly and helpful. Food is outstanding. Positively the best buffet for choice and quality I've ever had. Accessibility for disabled is excellent to all areas and one pool has a disabled lift into the water.Two small notes. Door to service area on our floor sticks open and as it accesses a stairway, it is a fire hazard. Also the two small steps into the lift area could use a hand rail

First time visiting Gran Canaria and so pleased I chose Abora Catarina for our 10 night All Inclusive holiday. The hotel is large and has many pools and sun loungers. Food is very good, caters for many nationalities and so much choice. Each meal time can choose from a variety of fresh fruit, meat, fish, vegetables, cakes and desserts (the best!), drinks on tap all included. At the bars they have huge selection of drinks and cocktails and again all included, except for branded “top shelf” drinks.The entertainment is varied and enjoyable from visiting acts to the hard working animation team. Definitely recommend not missing their Grease act / singing 👏.The chefs, waiters and cleaners, although “behind the scenes” are worthy of a huge well done too. Reception are available for any queries you have. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here, and the local area also (recommend sunrise at the dunes - don’t forget your camera!) . Local buses are frequent, with bus stops just 5 minutes walk from the hotel, to be able to visit other parts of the island, which we did on a few occasions. Thank you all at Abora Catarina, have already recommended you to others!(Room 226)

We had a lovely time staying in room 308. The view from the balcony was fantastic. The rooms are spacious and well kept being cleaned daily. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were all very friendly and helpful. The entertainment team made sure there was always something to do and the shows were awesome. The facilities are great and the hotel is only a short walk to the beach!! The only downside is the pools are a little too cold. But overall we had a fantastic time and are already planning out next visit.

We enjoyed our stay in room 509, lovely spacious room in a quiet area of the hotel. Appreciated the staff allowing us to store our road bikes on the balcony. Food was always good and not too repetitive. Alcoholic and soft drinks were of a good enough standard, drink stations were plentiful and always kept clean, it was great to have tea, coffee and water available all day.

David Parkes

16:41 20 Sep 24

We stayed here for a week in room 245, the staff have been amazing, the food has been fantastic, there’s been so much for the kids to do, plenty of good quality sun beds and umbrellas to choose from and absolutely NO ONE reserves sun beds, so you can wake up at a reasonable hour, go for breakfast with your family and there’s always somewhere to sit around the pool!!! Food selection has been fantastic, kids have really enjoyed eating here, and the range of all inclusive drinks is good.The kids pool is very relaxed and the kids are actually allowed to go crazy rather than being too regimented, but you still feel very safe under the constant supervision of life guards, I’d 100% come get again!!!The animation team really take care of the little ones and child participation in the evening has been second to none, they’re always allowed on stage during the kids disco and to meet characters etc and that’s really made my two feel very included.

Currently coming to an end of our 2 week stay at Abora Catarina and it has been a delight! The rooms are spacious and cleaned daily. We also booked a swim up room (number 103) and couldn't be happier! I recommend booking one if you can and they are adult only. The pools are also cleaned daily. The food is varied and delicious. There's something for everyone. And there are snack bars during the day and evening if you don't want a full meal. There is a shuttle to the beach but we walked it in 15-20 mins. Same distance to the major shopping centre. There are small shops locally too. Not here with kids but have seen a lot of entertainment for them during our stay. We will definitely be coming back!!

The food was delicious with a wide variety of options to choose from. There were plenty of activities and interesting animations throughout the day to keep us entertained. The hotel’s location was perfect – just a short walk from the beautiful, charming dunes and close to the vibrant town centre. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and fun getaway!

Our family had an incredible stay at Hotel Abora Catarina! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. The staff were always friendly and eager to help, making our experience even more enjoyable.We stayed in Room 180, which was spacious, clean, and comfortable—perfect for our family. The room had everything we needed, and the housekeeping staff did a fantastic job of keeping it spotless throughout our stay.The hotel’s amenities were excellent, especially for families. The pool area was a hit with our kids, who loved the fun activities and the splash area. The entertainment team did a great job keeping everyone engaged, and there was always something fun to do. The food was also a highlight, with a variety of delicious options at every meal. We appreciated the range of choices that catered to both adults and children.The location of the hotel was another big plus. It was close to beautiful beaches and local attractions, making it easy for us to explore and enjoy Gran Canaria.Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better family vacation. Hotel Abora Catarina exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to returning in the future. Highly recommended for families looking for a fun and relaxing getaway!

14:57 19 Aug 24

Stayed with kids (room 172). First all inclusive for the kids who loved it. The food is good and varies. Kids pool with slides was brilliant and the whole place felt very safe (to let kids have some independence). Reception staff were brilliant! Especially Oscar to the point our holiday phrase became “ask oscar” (older persons reference…)

This was our first holiday abroad as a family - we have two children at 9 and 11 so a first time out of the uk for them. We stayed at Abora Catarina in room 206. We had the best time! Excellent service, clean and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. The choice of food was amazing and the variety of entertainment was great- something for everyone. The hotel was busy however very quiet inside your room. Thank you all! It will definitely be on our radar for another visit 😃Bad bits- sun loungers. Some feel the need to put towels on to reserve but then don’t use them and some guests were rude when getting meals just a slight annoyance we had but this holiday has been amazing overall.Highly recommend you this hotel and the discovery off road tour if you get the opportunity.

Stayed in room 348. Kids entertainment brilliant; rooms well catered for children. All inclusive food and pool side snacks, and drinks available were all great. The animation team were excellent for kids club during the day and brilliant selection of evening entertainment. Room overlooking the main pool was great although slightly late up until midnight with children. Great location and walkable distance to local town and free shuttle bus to the beach

Great hotel, stayed in room 428. Lovely views of the gardens. Great for kids. The animation team are fantastic, loads to do and great night time shows. Pools are splash areas are great. Stayed all inclusive. Good choice of food and snacks available all day. Beer and wine on tap! Two minutes down the road and you can view the beautiful dunes. We had the package with tickets to the aqua park, lots of facilities close by and easily accessed via taxi for a few euros. Rooms are spacious and come with little play tents for the kids. Would definitely recommend.

15:33 13 Aug 24

The stay has been very pleasant. We stayed on room 162 and it has a lot of space for a family of four( our case); the activities either for adults or children are very entertaining and fun. The aqua park is a highly appreciated facility as well as the playground and the games room. The staff is very nice and competent and turns the stay a lot more pleasant. It’s a place I will recommend for sure.

We have stayed at Abora Catarina 3 times so far and every time we have had a fantastic holiday. This holiday, we stayed in room 243 & 121 and both of our rooms were excellent. The rooms are great, plenty of space and the food is excellent, always have plenty of options to eat everyday. The staff are so hardworking and very polite. I spent my birthday here this year & a member of staff turned up to the door with a personal birthday card & a bottle of wine, which was unexpected as we never told anyone it was my birthday and such a lovely touch which was very much appreciated. We have recommended this hotel to plenty of people & would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a holiday in Gran Canaria.

Currently staying here and due to leave tomorrow. If you have kids the hotel is great. They have a separate splash park for the children as well as an arcade, a park, kids club and evening entertainment. Food is standard for all inclusive. They do have different choices every night but the kids have pretty much lived off pasta bolognaise. Rooms are cleaned everyday and the hotel itself is very clean. Snack bar is pretty poor though and I find it odd that they don’t have ice cream on offer for the kids all day. Only at main meal times in the main restaurant. I thought all inclusive for kids was mainly about the unlimited ice cream 😂 but if you’ve got kids I would recommend this hotel. It’s also not far from the beach and the water park . Room 475

Traveled alone with two kids (13 and 5) and stayed for two weeks. Even though it wasn't until the last week that they actually addressed the problem of people reserving the sunbeds it wasn't really any big problems getting a bed. Plenty of stuff for the kids to do. We stayed in room 236, right above playground wich was a bit noisy in the evenings but not too late. Great service for the most part and last but not least, an amazing animation team. Congratulations animation team. You managed to get us to laugh, dance, sing and we all enjoyed every single show and activity. Thank you so much. Maybe we'll be back another time.

A great hotel for families with kids! Very good food, various pools, nice surrounding plants, dedicated animation team and very friendly and helpful Staff! We stayed in room number 151 right above the main pool and it wasn't too loud or anything. Maybe the tiles around the pools could be less slippery. But in general we all enjoyed the facilities. Very close to the dunes:) All in all - highly reccommended!

This is a Lovely hotel with a wide range of amenities and incredible friendly staff. Lots to do and see in the local area, animation team and food were both great. Staying in room 414 which is lovely and quiet. 100% would recommend !!

We enjoyed our stay here. Plenty to doFor our 6 year old who loved the slides! Food was pretty ok, even for me as a vegetarian. I loved the breakfast. Only down point was our shower kept going hot and cold. Staff were lovely and friendly

Having stayed in lots of 3, 4 and 5 star hotels this is definitely more like a 3 star. Some staff were friendly and very helpful other staff were very rude. Cocktails were being made too strong to drink, I can only assume to try and limit the number of drinks being consumed. Food was bang average and not a lot of variation each day. Lifts were tiny which resulted in long waits and to get from floor 3 to the restaurant or pool you had to take multiple lifts due to being built over different levels. The kids pool area was good but was set a long distance away from the snack bars and bars which meant you could only have local beer, fizzy drinks or hot drinks whilst at the kids pool. The hotel looks like it has been recently renovated but not to a very good standard. Lots of broken tiles around the pools etc... with the old tiles visible underneath. The composite decking outside the lobby bar had lots of broken pieces and holes in but people were still allowed to use the area. I've done a lot of all inclusive holidays and lots of holidays in the Canaries. In my opinion, save your money and go elsewhere.

It was a great experience. The food was very tasty ,there are many types of fish and oysters. The crew was very friendly and offered us anything we needed. The bed in the room is very comfortable and everything was clean. Overall this is an amazing hotel. We will gladly visit next year. The room number is 241

We had great week here. Kids were happy with the pools, food and lovely animators. We were happy with everything. Especially with food and animation. Everything is clean and stuff is very nice. Receptionist was super nice and helpful.Thanks to all staff who made our vacation so great! Looking forward to come here again. Definitely recommending this place.P.S. before I came here, I was reading some negative reviews and I must say I didn’t notice those things. Seems like they are improving service in every sense.

Great holiday for the family! We have 2 small children and they have loved the various pools. Lots of variety for food and great self self station's for drinks ( bars also available). There is a play park for the kids too and a great entertainment team. Staff all very friendly and efficient. Would recommend for a family holiday. We stayed in room 415

Room 270 - I cannot begin to say how amazing our family holiday has been. Abora Catarina shines in every way! The kids pools are amazing, the animation team are fantastic (special mention to the girl in the photo attached she was a whinging star to my kids a beautiful person) their animation program for kids is second to none with something to entertain them all day long! We especially loved breakfast with panchi, my kids are now obsessed with him and we have made beautiful memories here. The food is the best selection we have ever seen in an all inclusive resort, always hot & stocked up promptly, not repetitive like some reviews state something different at every meal, fresh salads & fruits were stunning. Everybody at the Catarina works so endlessly hard, the maids, the cleaners, the chefs. Special mention to the ladies that work the pool bar, they are always so joyful & we love to watch them sing and enjoy themselves too!! 🥰 the hotel itself is exceptionally clean. Throughout our week stay we have no complaints at all. Nothing is too much trouble. We love how the maids made our little girls beds up with their favourite teddy’s everyday was a lovely touch. The one and only thing that annoyed us was on day 4 when we were asked for our room key for dinner service, we hadn’t been asked once and the man asking for it was quite rude. We said we had left it at the kids pool which was quite a walk from the restaurant and that we hadn’t once been asked to show our room key. The man demanded we get it which was really annoying with two young children in tow.My partners birthday was today and they left a special card for him in the room with a bottle of wine which was a really nice touch.We have been on many holidays abroad and this is by far the best, it will be hard to ever beat our stay with Abora Catarina and we will most definitely return.Thank you so much.

My family and I stopped in room 184 after being changed after the first night. We asked to change to a better room on the ground floor, near the splash poor, which we saw was vacant and it was no problem to the wonderful reception staff who have been great throughout.The food has been brilliant by all inclusive standards. Some of the meats especially available on an evening have been outstanding and I take my hat off to the catering team.The rooms are nice, big enough and modern. Very basic and very clean with comfortable beds.The entertainment team make a real effort for the children throughout the day and in the evening.

Absolutely amazing holiday! Room 180!!Best holiday my little family have had. My 6 year old has said he doesnt want it to be bedtime as he wants to stay forever (we go home tomorrow😢)Hotel has absolutely everything! From children to adults! Family, couples, EVERYTHING! Food is amazing! Best all inclusive we have ever been to. Will definitely return!! Al staff are amazing! Entertainment is fabulous. Highly recommend x

We stopped in room 216 which was fantastic it had plenty of space for my family and room the was very modern. Food was great and had a great selection from steak, roast beef, roast turkey and multiple types of fish. The animation team are great and always very welcoming. The only minus was the main pool was needing updating with new titles but the kids slides were fantastic.

17:55 02 Jun 24

To be honest hotel, food, animations deserved for very big applause! Beautiful food with lots of choices, dinner always with different meal, colourful, plenty of fruits, desserts and lovely drinks. We enjoying ours last night ( ROOM 154) and I'm happy to share my opinion with everyone. Very well organised place for kids - animations, swimming pool and place for relax. Very clean hotel with beautiful flowers and views. Bus stop just 3 min from the hotel. We will back for sure! Thank you for nice holiday!

The room is amazing (421 was mine), all the amenities you can expect, and a super kind staff {specially Oscar). The buffet is superb. The only thing you need to know is that is not a place to rest and being quiet and calm...it's full of all kind of people, music is too loud. The rooms with the private pools must be a dream.

Stayed for 9 nights in mid-May and we were very impressed by this hotel. We were checked in by Isabella who was lovely and she even allowed us to go get our evening meal before the buffet closed and kept our bags behind the desk, which after a late flight was much appreciated.The first Saturday we arrived was pride and the hotel was full of buzz the hotel was great during pride - a real credit.The room itself was large and spacious - the balcony overlooked the main pool, but was surprisingly soundproof, it was cleaned every day and the cleaners did an exceptional job.The only thing I will say about the room (room 245) it is could do with a little refresh of paint here and there, the shower was powerful but so much so it was hard to contain the water in the shower itself. The aircon was a little bit weedy for our liking but other than that everything was spot on.The pool area is lovely and there was never a fight for sunbeds or a spot around the pool. The outdoor bar was always attended and quick to serve and the drinks were good. Plenty of entertainment for both adults and kids.The food was good and varied each day. I think they only thing it seemed to lack was a live cooking station which would have been nice, but otherwise a good selection and plenty to eat for everyone.It's in a great location - just a few minutes walk from the dunes and easy to get to everywhere within a few mins walk.Overall a great hotel and the staff are fantastic

This was our 2nd choice after our 1st announced building work a week before our flight!We arrived a week ago to a quiet hotel.The restaurant is great, have no complaints for the choice of food, they make slight changes every day to keep you interested. My only crib would be today and lunch time it was so busy! The staff where struggling to keep up with the hot buffet side of things.If it's like this at evening meal time I think we will give it a miss.The rooms are great, we have a family room (407) off the south wing, balcony looking onto riu/roundabout (sand dunes in the distance).We did have a issue last night when we came back to the room with one very tired 4yr old. The air conditioning sprung a water leak through the ceiling flooding the floor. The engineer came within 5 minutes and resolved the leak so we are back to normal!Pools are great, the kids area is fantastic.The entertainment is great with well put together shows.All the soft furniture disappeared from the reception with no replacement which we thought was strange. Perhaps its gone for a freshen up!All together we found this place great with no real complaints about the hotel. You'd have to be really picky to not enjoy your stay.

We just finished our stay at Abora Catarina (room 503) the food was great every day, we had an amazing view from our room on the fifth floor. We could see the ocean and the dunes directly from our room. The only small negative to mention would be the unstable water temperature in the shower. It changed on its own quite often from normal to really hot, down to cold and back to normal. Otherwise it was a great stay with close walk to the amazing dunes.Thank you!

This is my third time at the hotel and likely my last.Shower: low pressure and inconsistent temperature - from boiling to very cold. Overflows into the bathroom. Tray is grubby - needs replacing.FoodConsistently ran out of sliced white bread and jam at breakfast.The salad bowls were empty in the evenings.24-hour food areaHardly any food. Sandwich choices are tuna and veg or ham and cheese. I’m not a vegetarian, but there should be more choice. Sandwiches were dry - need some sachets of sauces to make them moist.No cakes or biscuits - these went quickly and weren’t replenished. Friends in other hotels sent pictures of their 24 hour buffets which looked amazing.Unfortunately, one lunchtime I had a burger from the poolside buffet and found a black hair (I’m blond) in it which put me off eating there again.VolumeMany people come on holiday to relax. The volume by the pool was so loud we had to move… twice! In the past we went to the second pool at the end of the hotel but that is now a children’s area. So there isn’t an adult chill-out area.The adults only area on the rooftop didn’t have any drinks available (bar was shut down).General maintenance- holes in decking, cracked / missing tiles around the pools let the place down.Overall, this is now a hotel which facilitates children more than adults- very difficult to find a quiet location as there’re play pools, playgrounds, etc dotted all over.Positives - friendly and helpful staff - especially Scarlet on reception, the waiting staff and housekeeping. However, the female security guard on the door at night was a little rude / harsh. We’re adults - not teenagers and should be treated as such.Room 435

A perfect hotel to stay for your holiday. We had a room with swimming pool (room 112). Everyday they clean the room nice and shining. People from the reception were kind and ready to help. The animation team and the shows in the evening were really fun to watch. Food was excellent and so much choices. If I we are going back to Gran Canaria we will take this hotel again.

Hotel has been excellent for our week here we stayed in room 215. Food standard is good and selection of different foods were good.Service from staff has been fantastic. Rooms cleaned every day and were spotless as were all areas around the pools.Our kids loved the kids pool with slides.We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of coming toGran Canaria and think we will return at somepoint in the future.

I am currently staying at the Abora Catarina Hotel, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the overall experience.First and foremost, cleanliness is of utmost importance to me, and I was delighted to find that the hotel was impeccably clean. The housekeeping staff went above and beyond to ensure that my room was spotless and comfortable throughout my entire stay. Their attention to detail truly made a difference in creating a pleasant and hygienic environment.In addition to the cleanliness, the housekeeping staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. They greeted me with warm smiles and were always readily available to assist with any requests or inquiries I had. Their genuine hospitality made me feel valued and welcomed throughout my stay.The reception staff at the Abora Catarina Hotel were also incredibly friendly and helpful. They were attentive to my needs, provided valuable information about local attractions, and ensured a smooth check-in and check-out process. Their professionalism and friendliness added an extra touch of warmth to my overall experience.The dining experience at the hotel was nothing short of delightful. The variety of dishes offered catered to different tastes, and the quality of the food was exceptional. Each meal was prepared with care, and the presentation was visually appealing. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite and found myself looking forward to each mealtime.Based on my experience, I wholeheartedly recommend staying at the Abora Catarina Hotel. The cleanliness, friendly housekeeping and reception staff, and delectable food all contribute to an outstanding stay. Whether you are traveling for business or leisure, this hotel is an excellent choice.Room 321

Currently staying in Room 462.Hotel is lovely the entertainment team are absolutely outstanding! They are worth their weight in gold! Every member of staff is very friendly and very helpful. Although on the down side it is far to kids orientated it is like staying in a kids club at times and there is no escaping the kids or the noice. Very clean hotel also. Plenty of options when it comes to mealtimes. I do believe the hotel should maybe try separate the hotel into kids area and adults area that would make the hotel much more comfortable. Overall though lovely and friendly hotel.

Had a lovely experience at Abora Catarina. Got a room upgrade upon arrival, room 466 has a lovely view of the mountains and the ocean. See sunset picture below. The staff have been great and respectful. Room cleaned every day at times convenient for me. The food is decent, plenty of options and they are quick to refill everything even near closing time. Lots of facilities: pools, entertainment on stage at night, a small gym, playground and game room for children. Location is great, 7-8 mins walk to Yumbo Center and a short walk to the Dunes.

Great family hotel. We stayed in room 238 which has a jacuzzi and a lovely outdoor area and view of the entertainment stage. The pools are great for kids (we’re a 2 adult, 1 child family). The food was good and we didn’t have a problem finding something we liked each day.Staff were outstanding for our full 10 days.

Nick Shipley

09:46 09 Apr 24

Hotel is not bad, but quite a few things to be improved. Rooms were fine, but air conditioning was poor and our cleaners were terrible, not replacing towels and leaving dirty glasses etc around the room and not doing a great job either with the floor. The communal areas were pretty tired, with poor decoration and in need of upgrading.The food was generally really quite good quality and they did a great job getting replacements out. Glasses were hard to come by when busy and quite a few dispensers were broken at various times during our visit.Reception needed to have more staff, as there was often a lengthy wait, but the staff were in general pretty friendly. Kids club was good, with a decent entertainment most nights. The free bus to the local beach is a great addition.Floors around the pool are incredibly slippery with multiple accidents.Overall, it’s fine, but could make various improvements.

We stayed here for our ruby anniversary and birthday. It was just lovely. The food is five star. We stayed in room 202 and had a room reading a suite with sofa coffee table and chairs. Always ample hot water. Room cleaned to perfection every day. It was just a wonderful family hotel. We are already planning a return with our grandchildrenMany thanks to you all

The rooms are good, but nothing particular. The food is very good. The size of the hotel's garden and pool is limited compared to the number of rooms. They are overcrowded in some periods. There is no sea view, however the ocean and the famous Maspalomas dunes are in a good walking distance. The price/quality ratio was good. The usual activities and services were provided for the kids and adults. My family loved spending a week here in this season.

We are staying in room 204. It's our last night and honestly we are so sad to be leaving tomorrow. The rooms are lovely, the bed is so comfy. Food is limited at the buffet but we always found something nice to eat. Sandwiches and donuts, as well as hot drinks, soft drinks beer and wine available self serve for 24hrs, what more could you want? No rush for a sunbed in the mornings as the sun don't really hit the pool area til around 10am. Overall we have had an amazing stay. If this hotel wasn't fully booked we would stay an extra few nights.

We were a family of 4 with young girls ages 6 & 3. Cheers

We stayed here from the 23rd January for a week room 307, we had a brilliant time, nice and relaxing.The room was large and very clean.The food was of a great variety, something for everyone, sometime a bit slow at cleaning the tables for the next guest to sit down, but they did their best. The staff was very friendly.We would definitely recommend to family and friends.We had a lovely time 😊

I recently stayed at the Abora Catarina by Lopesan and was thoroughly impressed. The hotel boasts a modern and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-equipped, providing a comfortable stay. What stood out the most was the exceptional service from the staff; they were always friendly and went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. The food was diverse and delicious, catering to a wide range of tastes. Additionally, the hotel's location is ideal, offering easy access to nearby attractions. Overall, Abora Catarina by Lopesan is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable stay in a beautiful setting!

Room is lovely and spacious. Stayed in room 585 lovely view outwards towards the sea and nice big balcony too. Lots of sun beds all during the day and multiple pools around the hotel! Breakfast, lunch and dinner all great too. Beach is a bit of a walk and very windy but a free bus runs basically all day

Steph Sanderson

12:34 22 Jan 24

Stayed in room 246 with a balcony overlooking the pool.Short 4 night break to get away from the -7 degree temperatures at home.Had a fantastic time!Hotel very clean and all staff extremely helpful and friendly.Good was very good with a good choice, although like any all inclusive, I'd expect anything more that 4 nights would get a little repetitive.Good location close to shops and free bus to the beach was perfect.Had a day at the aquapark nearby which although fairly expensive, was brilliant fun.Evening entertainment was also excellent, the team on stage clearly love what they do and are great at it.Would recommend this for a couple like us, or with a young family.

We spent one week here in two rooms (260 and 262) with baby and family. Our room has a beautiful view of the sunset. We absolutely loved it! Beautiful and big outdoor swimming pool surrounded by tables and deck chairs, meet new people and have fun. The resort staff were amazing as always! The location is perfect and 8 minutes walk from the sand dunes.Amazing people and absolutely recommended for family of stay!!

We had a great time this Christmas here room 22. Fresh delicious food everyday, snack and drinks everywhere, a lot of sofas to have a rest. Room service good, very clean and comfortable. Animation team are very friendly and energetic. We watched great music show and surprisingly kids got very good gifts from Santa Claus from Hotel. You can just walk several minutes to the dessert, and to the shopping center.So many good points of this hotel, we would like to come back again.

A great location, a short walk from the magnificent dunes. My wife, I and our 16 year old twins had the pleasure of staying here over Christmas.The rooms are large suites with a living room area, large tv, ample storage and an epic balcony with great views of the mountains. The beds were very comfortable.The food is exceptional and such variety!The staff are so friendly and only too happy to help.We have had a great stay and I can wholeheartedly recommend the hotel.Christmas dinner was an experience I will never forget!

The hotel staff is very kind and polite. The room was specious, but TV didn't have any good English channels. The room service is very basic but for us it was enough. The water tap mixer in the shower didn't work too well : the water was or cold or hot, it was difficult to get a right temperature The all inclusive food is very good, lots of variety, warm and cold options, plenty of veggies and fruits. First time however I experienced scanning the room key at the entrance to the restaurant. Also, the All inclusive finished with check out at 12pm. I experienced that first time too, as usually after check out the room I was still able to use all hotel facilities. If you have a late flight you just allow to camp out in the hotel lobby or can use pool area for 15 Euro per person. Not nice end of holiday to be honest.

Spent a week here, lovely hotel. Room was a really good size for 2 adults 2 children. Cleaned daily ,fresh towels , kettle in room.Staff very friendly and helpful.

I stayed here with my little girl. We’ve had an amazing holiday.The staff are so friendly, great selection of food and drinks. The kids entertainment is great.The location is lovely and a few minutes walk from the sand dunes which were incredible!Our room (420) was lovely, clean and great facilities.The pools are great, not necessarily the warmest but equally fine.My little girl has loved her first holiday and I have too! We wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

First time here and what a fabulous hotel. First of all a huge thank you to all of the staff. Everyone greeted you with a big smile and a hello, like you were the first person they had met that day. The housekeeping teams deserve medals. The whole place was super clean and tidy. All of the public areas, including the toilets were very clean and well stocked. The food was excellent, including gluten-free options, bread and cereal. Considering it is an all-inclusive hotel, the food was always varied, the roasts were first class, and the desserts were moreish. I have to mention the many acts of kindness I witnessed during my stay. There were several people with mobility issues staying here. The waiting staff would reserve tables, help them to collect food and drinks and ensure they had all they needed. I have never seen staff do those things before. Full marks to them!! The bedroom was spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. My only reason for not giving full marks was the shower temperature fluctuated constantly, and several public bathrooms were often out of soap. Kettle with tea and coffee provided but no cups. No complaints but just observations. Would I come back to this hotel again? Absolutely. Its ideally located for the dunes and the yumbo, and it's a great friendly place to stay.

20:45 01 Dec 23

I have no complaints at all. The whole hotel was really nicely decorated, very modern and designy looking, the rooms aren't your normal terracotta tiles but really nice, large, airy and very clean.The staff in the restaurant, at the bar, main desk and the animation team were SO lovely, helpful, cheery and made the stay even more amazing.Not normally one for hotel entertainment, Abora Catarina's Animation team was actually really entertaining... Top class acts that were well thought out and choreographed.I have zero complaints about anything, and it's probably the friendliest hotel I've ever stayed at.The local area is quite touristy, and was quite tricky to find genuine local food, but there is a lot of choice if you want German food.Thanks to everyone at the hotel who made our stay outstanding! From the help choosing wine at dinner, to the friendly and smiley bar staff, if I come to Gran Canaria again, I'll most likely choose this place! Thanks again.

Great location between beach and town. Had a very comfortable stay in November, and well looked after by all staff. Super clean and very good sized twin room, with the option in ours including a pull down bunk bed which would make the room great for small families too I guess. We chose all inclusive. The restaurant had multiple themed evenings, and had a huge selection every day, particularly impressed with the salad bars. Snacks and both alcoholic and soft drinks were available all day also. Several good pools on site giving plenty of options, meaning that kids could enjoy their splash pools away from the adults. Hugely impressed.

Booked a 10 day stay with our three year old, and we've all had such a good time!The facilities are spot on, with plenty of activities for the kids, especially the children's pool area and kids club.Food is great and varied.You can tell they put a lot of effort in the entertainment, especially in the nighttime shows which are amazing...But the best part of this hotel is with no doubt the staff. Each one of the staff members have been so lovely and welcoming since day one, especially with our toddler who they always greet individually.Would definitely stay again!

Some minor niggles on check in, didn't get the family room we had booked but it wasn't a deal breaker.This was the first time we had booked a package holiday in over 20 years, and to be fair, it wasn't the hotel's fault that it has put us off from doing it again in the future, it's just not for us.Hotel I would say is quite average, nothing terribly wrong with it, just your typical package holiday hotel, very busy, long lines for most things.Pool could have been a bit warmer, but again not a deal breaker.Location to the sand dunes is good however.Just not really our cup of tea, a little too much hussle and bustle for our liking.The staff in the dining hall do a fantastic job as do all of the bar and reception staff.

Just back from a family holiday (2 adults 2 kids) everyone had a great time. Plenty to do with 4 different pools and entertainment all day and night. Kids pool had a small waterpark. Having it spread out meant you could always get a lounger, drink etc and never too busy anywhere. Animation team were really good. Hard workers, always happy and always stopped for a chat anytime you seen them to try and amuse the adults and kids. The night shows they put on were really good quality. Good mix for adults and kids. Food was a good standard. Little repetitive sometimes but still good quality. Never had to queue for drinks as plenty beer and soft drink taps spread around for folk to help themselves to. Rooms were nice and spacious for a family of 4. Location was really good, close to the dunes, beach and shopping centres.Small minor point was the air con in the room wasn't the best but manageable.A great holiday had by all and will definitely be back here.

Brilliant time, brilliant hotel. Everything is well catered for. We arrived well after 3am after a delayed flight and were told straight away to help ourselves to drinks, sandwiches, cakes etc. We were in Room 206 a family room, big enough for me my wife and two teenagers. Had a small issue with Aircon and this was fixed within the hour, now that's service. Entertainment, food and the hotel were top notch. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Wonderful week away, staying at room 185, which has a refreshing private pool and is right next to the kids swimming area. Facilities, food, pool all of amazing quality.Beside that, the hotel and staff have been really accommodating to a special needs family.Thumbs up, would highly recommend.

What a fantastic place for a family holiday! Location, facilities and entertainment were great, especially the foam pool party which both kids and adults thoroughly enjoyed! Food was lovely too and staff were very friendly and helpful. The entertainment team were especially amazing and worked oh so hard!We stayed at room 366 which had plenty of room and was kept cool thanks to the very much needed a/c. It was clean and quiet and the shower was great. The kids loved their complimentary pool bags too! We will definitely come back!

I really enjoyed my stay at the Abora Catarina hotel! The rooms are large and spacious. The food is varied and tasty. During your vacation you can try different cuisines, such as Japanese, Italian, Turkish or Spanish! The rooms are cleaned daily and the staff is friendly. I don't have any negative impressions. The hotel is great for both couples and families. Best Regards from room number 206!

What a fantastic place! Would definitely recommend, we’ve been here for nearly 10days now with our 4 and 6 year old girls and they have had the best time.We stayed in room 474 which over looks the pond and it’s lovely and quiet. We had a family room which was more than adequate for the 4 of us, cleaned daily also.We have found the food to be amazing, plenty to choose from and very tasty! Staff are amazing and extremely friendly, our girls enjoyed a couple of sessions at the kids club and they said it was great, which gave me and my partner an hr to ourselves which is always nice.Evening entertainment is brilliant and the kids loved it.If your thinking of booking at Abora Catarina then you won’t be disappointed 😃

Great clean and friendly hotel for a family break (room 252). Pools and water park are fantastic with no issues getting a sunlounger. Good selection of entertainment both during the day and night. Food and drink options are fantastic with the kids loving what was available. Would recommend the to family to family and friends.

Firstly the entertainment team here is first class! They made the holiday worth while. Leonardo,Lucas Angela and the others were first class. Cannot fault there hard work in the shows and daytime entertainment hours of comedy and things to do. Hotel more of a 3 star.. food average the evening meal probably the best choice . Drinks only one beer type. Food wise constantly available.Good range top of types.cups for adults a little small but being picky. Rooms decent we had a swim up room which was nice but bathroom looked tired and showers were horrific hot cold constantly so be careful with kids it could shock or burn them if not monitored. Towel situation 10 euros deposit to hire for the week then 2 euro every time you want fresh per towel seems wrong …. Overall good time here can’t be too negative but I must reiterate the hotels animation team are personally the best team I’ve ever seen on a holiday. I’ll remember these for many years to come. Shame it has to come to a end but those I’ll remember they made the holiday more than we hoped for. Would definitely recommend to anyone to visit especially if you have children .. would I come back???!! Yes we would and will do . So abouts management if you read this don’t lose your animation team there absolutely amazing don’t change them .

Had a lovely family holiday here, staff worked so hard and never have we had such a great entertainment team, made the holiday so much fun.We stayed in room 226 and it was lovely, not too far away from reception but away from noise.Would stay this is a family hotel. Hotel could do with some TLC in the bathrooms but other than that perfect.

We had a great time at the Abora Catarina. We stayed in room 364, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We stayed with 3 and 5 yr old children and they loved it too. The children's pool was great, with a smaller, warmer pool - knee deep, and a larger pool that the slides feed into. Both great. The main pool was brilliant on the foam party day! There's also an extra pool that's usually a bit quieter.The playground was great but best on a morning before the sun. The shuttle bus is so handy and always on time.Alberto on reception was fantastic, helping us with all our queries.You won't regret staying here!

I highly recommend this hotel. Rooms clean, food delicious and available non-stop. At the pool bars, hot dogs, fries, hamburgers, pizza, cakes (large selection), salads, desserts and drinks including granita, sangria. Friendly service. The only inconvenience is the distance from the beach - it is very far and you have to go through the dunes (the path through the dunes - difficult access). The dunes are breathtaking in the evening. Pool for children are great.

We stayed in Abora Catarina (room 201, sea view at the quiet corner of the hotel near the dunes) this July with our family of 4, two boys aged 6&9. We would definitely recommend this hotel; location, fantastic hardworking friendly staff all around and with a special mention to the brilliant animation team. The hotel has a great multi cultural European vibe and reflected in its food, (fantastic salad bar) and 24hr snack bar(useful for my boys!). Great evening entertainment, games room, popcorn and top shelf drinks (if you fancy forfeiting cleaning for a day)!

Staff have been nothing but attentive throughout the week at the hotel, from the maids, to the reception staff, bar and restaurant. A big thank you to them.The rooms are clean, cool and the hotel is ideally situated for evening strolls by the Dunes.On each day we had no issue finding loungers and umbrella. Food was first rare, especially the focus on local produce, which is an excellent idea.View from room 520 attached.

We had an a fantastic time staying at the Abora Catalina in room 165! The family room is spacious and nice and clean. We had a balcony over looking the play area and kids club which was perfect. The entertainment team were great and interacted with the kids really well. There was always something going on to keep everyone busy.Location is very handy and we liked to jump in a taxi at night to save the kids a walk which only cost a couple of euro.

Everything is nearby so we walked a lot this vacation. Hotel is great. The options and food in the buffet could be better but it wasn't bad. Would give it a 6/10. Hotel and rooms are cleaned everyday. Pools are great, enough sunbeds so always a free one if you want to get by the pool later on the day. View from our balcony was also nice, we stayed at 501, so we could see the dunes of maspalomas and the sea. I would recommend this hotel.

I was very satisfied with my stay at this hotel. The rooms, the private pool, the food, the drinks, everything was great and very high quality. Lots of options and combinations of food, the food changed every day. The private pool overlooking the garden was perfect, and the peace. It is also close to the sea, but you have to cross the sand dunes, which is exhausting. I highly recommend the hotel, we were very satisfied with room No. 112.

Spend in this hotel 11 days and we were very satisfied. Food was good, enough variety and very tasty. Amazing staff! On bar, people around the pool and animators are making everything for your satisfaction and ALWAYS with smile on their faces. 🙂 We really enjoy this place and wish soon will be back. Room 486 with the nice garden views.

This is our third stay in the hotel and we are looking forward to returning again in the future.

Third time I’ve stayed here and everytime the expectations are exceeded. What a hotel absolutely beautiful, very clean and the staff are really friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend either for families or just a beautiful break. We have the best view from room 566, pool, beautiful scenery and can even see the sea and Dunes. Couldn’t recommend enough and definitely booking again

I was so anxious about this hotel especially as some people have mentioned that if you leave a 5 star review you get a free all inclusive day. My review isn’t for that it’s a genuine one.I found the room absolutely great, bed comfortable definitely had worse on some holidays, Air con good, lots of ants on the balcony so that wasn’t nice but we never complained as they didn’t come into the room so didn’t bother us. You do have to pay to rent the safe. Room cleaned everyday with fresh towels, pool is great! Has enough space to accommodate, although the lack of Parasols was a bit rubbish as you would see people trying to claim one very early in the morning. Some staff were friendly however when we first got there I went to get a drink from the self service section and a lady was trying to fill up the glasses and as I was in her way she huffed and puffed, rather than saying ‘excuse me’ or just wait 10 seconds for me to finish so that was mainly the downside to this place. Food is good and tasty with plenty of fruit and cakes for desert.Would definitely stay here again but staff should really be taught better customer service and because of this lady I’m giving 4 stars.

Mr and my husband stayed at the Abora catarina with our 3 children ages 7 , 2 and 2It was very clean, well kept and the staff have been amazing. There is entertainment every night and during the day for children and adults. The food was great with lots of choice available. We were in room 302 with a pool view and you can also see the sea, the room was cleaned everyday. We did walk to the beach along the front which was nice but there are steps with a small slope which we got a double pram it wasn't idea.Would recommend this hotel

James Dunham

12:22 21 Jun 23

Great hotel, amazing entertainers that put on some really good shows for both adults and children. lots to do for the kids they loved it. Food was very nice although quite repetitive with the options. Only downside is the location of the hotel as its more of an adult spot outside but it is very close to the sand dunes which are a great for a nice walk. We stayed in room 308 which does have a good view

Our stay at the Abora Catarina was truly remarkable. As a group of three, we found the all-inclusive package to be exceptional. It took care of all our needs, providing us with fantastic food, numerous activities, and prompt service.We stayed in room 337, which was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with all the necessary amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed the view from our room and the comfort it offered.The staff was super friendly and the food was always diverse and tasty. It’s so close to the amazing dunes. The all-inclusive is completely worth it since there’s always great food available at all times. It’s a great hotel for families with kids but also if you’re like us, only adults, and want a cool hotel with great service where you can relax and simply enjoy.We would highly recommend the Abora Catarina Hotel for anyone looking for a worry-free, enjoyable and high-value all-inclusive experience. Can't wait to visit again!

Absolutely brilliant hotel. We stayed in room 175 which is a family swim up pool room. It was perfect for the kids, I would definitely recommend. Firstly, reception staff are so polite, helpful and accommodating. Food was very good with lots of choice for both kids and adults. Lots of great drinks options in the all inclusive too. Local spirits and beer were very nice. Entertainment team are fantastic with lots to do for the whole family. Room was cleaned daily to a high standard. Swimming pools are great especially the water splash park. 100% recommend this hotel for anyone but specifically for families. 5 star plus!

Hotel was spotless and all the staff were very helpful. We stayed in room 335, which was very close to all the amenities. Beds very comfy and rooms spacious. The food at the hotel was lovely, something there for everyone and different themed nights too so add extra variety to buffet. The animation team, though we were there as adults only, seemed to just work so hard, entertaining all day long. Loved the aqua aerobics, done that most days….. would highly recommend this hotel for couples and families xxxx

Stayed here May 2023 (room 348) and it was brilliant! Its really good for kids, there is lots to do and keep them entertained. The entertainment team is very good - not your usual cliche shows, they were actually enjoyable.There is a good selection of food and drinks on the all inc. and staff are lovely. There are all inc food and drink options all day rather than set times.The hotel is within walking distance of many shops and restaurants.Would definitely recommend this hotel to others!

We have had a lovely holiday here! We are in room 409 so we are away from the hustle and bustle when in the room but only a 2 min walk to the action!! There is plenty going on around the main pool, music, dancing, games for the kids. The water slides up the other end are quieter and were the little ones can have fun whizzing down the slides, swimming in the pool and playing in the kiddie pool. I would certainly recommend this hotel for families without hesitation!

This hotel provides a great winter break in the sun. All the staff are helpful and friendly which translates to the clientele as well. The food is good quality and there's plenty of drink (soft as well) to keep you hydrated. The hotel is clean, roomy, beds comfortable, with all the facilities you'd expect. The only thing you might want to bring is a travel iron although there is a laundry service in the hotel. The gardens are delightful with plenty of lovely spots to relax including a shaded pool area. We particularly enjoy the activities during the day (water aerobics, too many games to mention and even dance lessons) as well as professional entertainment in the evening. There's multiple pools, to suit various needs - a kids pool with water slides - main pool complex with jacuzzi and some rooms even have private pools.

My partner and I stayed at the Abora hotel and found it to be clean, well kept and the staff have been amazing. Entertainment every night and during the day for children and adults was very good. The food was great with lots of choice available. We had our own pool although we had booked the whirlpool room but the room we got, wasn’t the one we booked although it was great, really private and in excellent condition. Only thing would have made it better would have been a warmer pool as it was cold and to have got the room we booked but having said that we have enjoyed our stay very much. Whether you have children or not it’s a great hotel with lovely staff and great rooms. We stayed in room 117. Recommended 🙂

Very happy with our week at Abora Catarina. We lived in room 167 and was very happy with the room, the pools and activities. The pools is not heated, but that’s the standard and is okay. We are very surprised with the food. It was great with great variety. The hotel should also have an alternative that is not “All-inclusive”. But it was perfectly nice for us.Thank you for the great service this week

Staff are wonderfully helpful cannot do enough for you. Chinese night was the best, the food was lovely on this day. At Breakfast theres plenty of selection from pastries, toast, yogurt, fruit, and fried food. The new kids area with the slides is good, my 3 year old and 6 year old had hours of fun here, and refreshments are never far away. stayed in room 314 with a garden view, beautiful view at sunrise and sunset and the room had plenty of space for a family of four. Lovely hotel.

Terry Jones

17:53 13 Dec 22

We've stopped here with and without little ones. If you are here over 1 week the food is repetitive, but always good quality. The rooms are let down by the bathrooms, just a little bit more thought on the issue of doors rotting because of water is required. Otherwise they are large and comfortable.Particularly worth mentioning is the staff, across the whole hotel, they are happy to help, fun to talk to and always looking for ways to make your stay better. Waiters remember you from visit to visit, even if 6 months has passed, bar staff know what you drink, and want to delight you every time.

Just got home this morning from two fabulous weeks here and have this morning booked again for next year. This hotel and its staff have given us the most stress free break we have ever had. If we want to be with others we were, on days we wanted a quiet area to chill and relax we were able to find areas for this. Room was spotless, plenty of choices everyday for what to eat, ample drinks choices and reception staff could not do enough to help with every enquiry we made.It would be nice if there was an area of dinning area that catered only for adults, but we resolved by changing the time we ate dinner in the evening, so not a major issue.

Our family has spent a wonderful week in the company of all the staff at Abora Caterina. The rooms are clean, the food is excellent and delicious with a good variety of dining during the week. It's amazing they produce so much food for so many with the quality kept high. Well done chefs.The pools are different in nature, we spent all our time in the pool with the slides and the kids had constant fun. The supervision of the lifeguards is brilliant and they ensure the kids all use the slides safely.The reception staff are wonderfully welcoming, knowledgeable, kind and great fun to talk to. Especially Oscar who gave us a word-of-the-day for the kids to learn some Spanish. He was brill!!!The cleaners are amazing, keeping our room tidy every day and saying hello all the time whilst blending into the background. The hotel is constantly kept tidy.Bravo and thank you from our family in Room 416

Stayed here at the start of May 2022 for 9 nights. Can’t say anything bad about this place! The staff were friendly from the moment we walked through the door which was quite late due to our flights till the moment we left (even let us use the inclusive facilities till we got picked up in the evening. The room was clean, quite modern which was a nice touch and was plenty of room to relax. Our room was towards the end of the hotel which we did prefer as it was quieter but there was plenty of action in the main area of the hotel from mini games in the afternoon at the pool then the evening shows. The food was varied on each day, mainly steak, chicken, pasta, fish, pizza and plenty of breads and salads. The all inclusive drinks were spot on, plenty of cocktails were part of the all inclusive which was good and varied. In the area there is also really nice restaurants too if you want a night away from the hotel for drinks and food. Booked for December 2022 already so look forward to returning then!

Really enjoyed our stay here, beautiful hotel, very very clean throughout. The rooms are lovely as are the beds 👌so comfy. Food.... You must try the soup even if you don't like the name of it... The main dishes... You'll never go hungry that's for sure. Very close to the dunes, if you come out of hotel turn right, walk towards the Riu, then walk through the arch, you'll be at the dunes, amazing sights. This holiday was a last minute trip but so happy we found this hotel.

Couldn't really fault this hotel or the staff. Yes - it's a little battered in parts but nothing significant. The staff couldn't be more helpful - its all inclusive but they still really want to do their best and put effort in when it would be quite easy for them to take it easy a bit. The food was plentiful and tasty - particularly the New years Eve dinner. And unusually in my experience - drinks and snacks (albeit only sandwiches and wraps) were available 24hrs a day. All in all a great stay and I definitely would go back.

Fantastic hotel and staff. Really clean and very COVID safe. All staff were always polite check in was a breeze and cleanliness of rooms and hotel was five star. Rooms were big and well presented along with balconies. Good variety of food and well presented. Bars are well stocked with premium drinks. Only thing would say the pools are very cold could do with heating. Entertainment staff are amazing and work very hard. Would highly recommend and definitely would return.

Clean and well maintained hotel in a good location and great housekeeping and staff but not recommended if you want a quiet, relaxing break. Very noisy due to extended family groups with lots of children being accepted by the hotel. During my stay small children were handling food at the serving points and then leaving it for other guests. Impossible to relax by the pool with ball games being played. This was my second visit but probably my last. I am sure it will suit some people.

Since I was there, the hotel has a new owner and a makeover. I am not sure if the atmosphere is changed but it looks a bit sterile. Nevertheless, I had a wonderful experience in Catarina so its worth every star of the maximum of five

Very nice hotel and very clean.We found few issues though, one was that it's not maintained properly, a lot of rooms have their door numbers missing, our shower screen was leaking from the bottom because the silicon was loose, the bathroom's door the paint was coming off at the bottom and most of it people at the entrance of the buffet are scanned the bedroom's card but they don't offer to the customers to clean their hands with alcohol gel even though it's sitting there. I have reported this to one of the hotel manager half way through the holiday but nothing did change. I've seen people going to the toilet and not washing hands and then they might go to the restaurant touching utensils where we put or collect our food. Either than this the hotel and restaurant cleanliness are very good.

We stayed in the Catarina just prior to the pandemic commencing and loved every minute of it. We chose the Catarina owing to its naturist area which suited our needs. That along with all inclusive, a great room and friendly staff made it a hotel that we would go back to. as we know the area very well it was an easy walk to the Yumbo centre and in the other direction the Maspalomas sand dunes and the beach. We had a wonderful stay and cannot wait until we feel safe to fly and return.

Not really 24 hour all inclusive, after 11 pm can only get wine or beer and a prepacked sandwich. Adult only solarium very scruffy.Décor could do with tidying up, food nice but cold. Hotel was a little disappointing.

We visit this hotel 2/3 times a year and can't wait for the pandemic to settle so we can return when restrictions are ceased.The rooms and facilities at the hotel are modern, clean and cater for all age groups. The adult only rooms have great views over the dunes and mountains. The facilities for children are amazing and the entertainment team work tirelessly to make sure all age groups are having a good time. The evening shows are enjoyable and a credit to the work the team put into them.There is a small gym with a varied DB weight range, although some 2 and 3 kg would be nice for a weakling like me. There is also adequate cardio equipment.The hotel is situated not far from the famous dunes and the promenade walk to PDI.We've always been made welcome by all staff and impressed they remember us when they see so many guests.There is a lovely barman in the bar downstairs who is always friendly no matter how much pressure he's under and the very tall waiter who we think is called Noe always greets everyone with a friendly smile and kind words no matter what your age. We can't wait to return to see all these friendly faces again after a tough couple of years for everyone.We'd recommend this hotel above any others in this area.

Great for all ages! If you are a fellow fish lover you will be over the moon with the veriety and freshness of the food, by the pools there are always free sunbeds unlike at other hotels I've vacated they have an all day bar wich you can get hot and cold foods inbetween meals. The beach is not that far if a walk but you do have to walk a lot of steps or optional ramps. Ifyou are part of the LGBTQ+ community it seems like a very accepting and accommodating place. If you have children there is night entertainment, a kids club and a small arcade.

Impeccable service and quality food. Sets the bar high for 4 star accommodation. Company shows how you can be perfectly covid safe in a hotel. Nothing to worry about.

Food wine staff were all good but the lack of Parasols forced us to use the beach every day. 12 Parasols around both pools with 400 /100 sun beds in 25 degrees heat was poor service. Also people saved beds all day with towels until 3pm and returned to hotel to use them. Your policy states this is not to happen but staff unable to ensure people do not save sunbeds.

Pride and Joy

The 2 outdoor swimming pools are the hotel’s pride and joy. However, a fitness center is also an important part of the complex’s recreational scene. And of course, a restaurant and bar complete the picture as always. Sounds familiar, right? Well…keep reading.

Free toiletries, a hairdryer and bath are available in the private bathrooms. But, it is the rooms themselves at the Abora Catarina by Lopesan formerly known as IFA Catarina Playa del Ingles that really stand out. All 402 of them, to be exact. Each one with one double or two single beds and air-conditioning. And as if that wasn’t enough, a radio, telephone, TV and private balcony are standard features.

Business Or Pleasure? Doesn’t Really Matter

The Abora Catarina by Lopesan boasst a 24/7 reception. That means that your every request will be fulfilled quickly. In addition to mandatory on-site shops, there are also other amenities at this resort. Though, of a more professional nature. We are, of course, referring to the meeting facilities. So, if business should interrupt your Gran Canaria vacation unexpectedly, you will be able to respond swiftly and with style. A shared terrace is also available. Therefore, should you feel the urge to mingle at any given time, you will have the perfect playground to practice your social skills.

Garden and Pool Areas

And speaking of playgrounds, we have arrived at yet another crucial feature of the Abora Catarina by Lopesan. Children are great. Right? They are cute, cuddly, interesting, adorable….for a certain period of time. Every now and then, parents need to take a time-out. And while you are doing that, your child can have fun at the hotel’s cozy playground for children. Then again, if you want to get those muscles moving, there is also a game room and tennis courts. Basically, every member of your family will have no trouble finding an interesting activity to explore.

The Abora Catarina by Lopesan Has No Weak Points

The legendary beach of Playa Del Inglés is nestled some 900 meters from the resort. Then again, the buzzing nightlife, shops and bars surrounding the Abora Catarina by Lopesan are also just a short stroll away. If and when you get tired of these, there is plenty to do at the resort itself. Needless to say, the cordial staff will see to it that your every desire is fulfilled. You need only ask. That is, if you are able to peel your eyes away from the lush gardens and swaying palms long enough to actually feel the need for anything.

Food is also another strong suit of the Abora Catarina by Lopesan. This is thanks to the two types of restaurants in-house. But, the bars shouldn’t be overlooked either. The buffet restaurant is in charge of the main meals throughout the day. However, there is an á la carte restaurant as well. And when you feel the need to quench your thirst regardless of whether you are craving a skilful cocktail or a non-alcoholic, healthy smoothie, the bars will be there to the rescue. Seriously, why are you still reading this?
