Hotel Cordial Mogán Playa is the large, well-equipped choice in the quiet south-west. It is a four-star resort on Avenida de los Marrero in Playa de Mogán with 487 rooms, including junior suites, family rooms and apartments. There are two outdoor pools and a children's pool, a full-service spa with four treatment rooms, a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and hot tub, three restaurants and two poolside bars, one restaurant being described as Michelin-star rated. Guests rate it very highly, 9.4 out of 10 from more than 900 reviews. Mogán Beach is about a seven-minute walk and Mogán Port about ten, so you can swim in the morning and eat by the harbour in the evening without needing a car.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits in Playa de Mogán, the calmer western end of the island's holiday coast. The Cañada de los Gatos archaeological zone is an eight-minute walk away, and Amadores beach is a short drive. The airport is about 48 minutes by road, so allow time for transfers on arrival and departure. Puerto Rico, Anfi Tauro golf and the Lago Taurito water park are all nearby.\n\nThe rooms: with almost five hundred rooms of many types, you can choose between junior suites, family rooms and apartments depending on your group.
Families should note that one child up to age six can stay free in existing beds, rollaway beds are not available and cribs can be requested free of charge.\n\nWho it suits: couples and families who want a full-service resort in a quieter setting, with a spa for rainy or tired days. The size means facilities are rarely short of choice, and the harbour village is close enough for a stroll to dinner. If you want nightlife and a busy promenade, Playa del Inglés is the better base.
\n\nGood to know: self-parking is free on site, subject to height restrictions. Check-in is from 3 pm for guests aged 18 or over, and check-out is by noon, with late check-out available for a fee. Pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome. The restaurants ask for smart-casual dress at dinner.
A small city tax and a charge for the in-room safe apply, and cash payments are capped by national rules, so bring a card. Book the specialist restaurant early in high season.\n\nWhy choose it: the combination of scale and calm is the main appeal.
You get the facilities of a large resort, with two pools, a spa and several places to eat, but in a part of the island where the pace is slower and the harbour village offers an alternative to the hotel restaurants. Guest scores are among the highest of any four-star on the island, which suggests the service holds up. Compare it with Lopesan Costa Meloneras if you want a bigger, more glamorous resort near the dunes, or with the small LIVVO hotel if you prefer a boutique stay.
