Parque Tropical Hotel

Maspalomas


This gem set among a sea of generic high-rise hotels dates to the 1960s, with a traditional Canarian look and wooden balconies, white stucco exterior and lush, mature gardens set amid pools and fountains. Rooms convey Andalucian sensations, with terracotta tiles, dark-wood fittings and beams combining with soothing pastel-coloured paintwork and terraces that provide fresh air.
