Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia is the splurge for travellers who want calm and style. It is a Spanish colonial-style house with white rooms, wooden verandas and high ceilings, set among gardens of palms, bougainvillea and cacti on Avenida del Oasis in Maspalomas. It has only ninety-four rooms, a main pool and a pool in the spa area, a full spa and wellness centre, a restaurant with a terrace over the pool and garden, a pool bar and a piano bar. Guests can play tennis, ride bikes, play bridge or work with a personal trainer, and the hotel is next to an 18-hole golf course. The hotel is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World and holds five stars. The Maspalomas Dunes and beach are only a short walk away.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on Avenida del Oasis, close to the Maspalomas Dunes and about a five-minute walk from the beach. Playa del Inglés and the Meloneras promenade are a short walk or taxi ride away, and the airport is roughly forty minutes by road. Parking is free for guests, with valet service available.
The rooms
The rooms have air conditioning and a classic look, in keeping with the colonial style of the house. The scale is small compared with the big resorts, so service tends to be personal and public areas are calm. There is no beach on site, but the walk to the sand is short.
Who it suits
Couples, golfers and travellers who want a quiet, refined stay with a good spa and restaurant. It is a good base for the dunes, long beach walks and evenings in Meloneras. It is less suited to travellers who want a lively resort with entertainment programmes.
Good to know
The hotel is not adults-only, but younger children are not accepted in December and January, so check the children’s policy if you are travelling with family during the holidays. Pets are not allowed. In high season it is wise to reserve well ahead, as the small size means rooms go quickly.
