Abora Catarina by Lopesan Hotels

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.

This was my second stay at this hotel, and I truly hope to come back again - some day! Haha! The animation team was the absolute highlight for me and my 6-year-old son. We actually returned for the second time mainly because of them. Their energy is infectious, and you can really see that they genuinely enjoy what they do. They made our stay truly special. There are four swimming pools (including one for children and one indoor adults-only pool). There is also a kids club with a large playground, a small lake with little fish, a game room, table tennis, billiards, a gym, and a snack bar offering both healthy options and classic fast food snacks. There is really plenty to do for both kids and adults. The reception staff, waitresses, and cleaning team were all very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The location is great — about a 5-minute walk to Las Dunas and 15 minutes to the beach. The area is quiet and peaceful, perfect for relaxing. As for the negative reviews: yes, in some places the paint is peeling a bit, and the food — especially for meat lovers — is not very varied. The fish, however, was excellent and prepared differently every day. But this is a 4-star hotel, not a 5-star one. This was our fifth holiday together, and for the first time I was truly satisfied — and I have stayed in 5-star hotels before as well. My son is not very social and can be quite picky, yet here he felt comfortable and happy from day one Of course, I could point out more small imperfections. But I came here to relax and have fun, not to overanalyze the walls or focus on gourmet dining. For that, choose a 5-star hotel. What matters most to me is that the hotel is clean, there’s no mold on the walls, nice view, fresh and good food and wine, and there’s plenty of space and activities for both me and my son. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return one day. Ciao!

I stayed at this accommodation for four days with my six-year-old child. Since it was Christmas, it felt especially special, but it also seemed that the staff are always kind and consistently maintain that sense of something special. There was continuous attention for children, with games and clubs always available, and the staff kept coming up with fun and creative activities just for them. Adults could enjoy themselves as well. During Christmas, there was a Santa train, delicious food, and a Willy Wonka musical on stage—the performance quality was exceptionally high. I would like to express my sincere thanks to them. Thank you for giving us a perfect Christmas The hotel’s location is excellent, and the meals are both varied and delicious, making it easy to enjoy dining throughout the stay. If there is one downside, it would be that if the pool water had been warmer, we definitely would have spent much more time playing in the water.

The hotel is big, lot is space, big rooms, nice swimming pools and freindly staff. The all you can eat buffet is rather on the quantity than on the quality side, but for such a huge amount of people is kind of expected. And they try to change the offer every day. However I think that the ratio quality price is not really high. Some corners are definitely used and would need a little bit of refreshment. If you can find a nice offer/discount I would say it is a nice place.

Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations. We would like to give a special mention to two outstanding members of staff at Abora Catarina, Alberto and Tom. Alberto was incredibly friendly and supportive throughout our stay — always smiling, approachable, and ready to help with anything we needed. His positive attitude truly made a difference every single day. Tom impressed us with his excellent English skills and his deep knowledge of the area. Thanks to his recommendations, we discovered the best spots on the island and learned so much about Gran Canaria itself. The information he shared was extremely valuable and made our trip even more special. Both Alberto and Tom played a huge role in making our stay unforgettable. If we ever decide to return to this hotel, it will be because of them. Guys, thank you so much for your amazing hospitality — you are truly an asset to the hotel! I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone. I especially appreciated the quiet atmosphere and the overall sense of comfort throughout the property. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay.
