Corallium Dunamar by Lopesan

Quality hotel next to the beach, great team taking care of each client. Excellent food, drinks and common services, clean and new. Recommended!

I visited as a solo traveller in search of a much needed peaceful break before heading into a very busy period at work, and got exactly what I needed. On my 9pm arrival I was greeted by an extremely helpful member of staff who explained where everything was and also made sure I didn’t miss dinner that evening! The room was clean, tidy and well equipped. The only things missing for me were some drinking water and some milk for the provided tea and coffee. My room on the 9th floor had a stunning sea view and also a great view of the evening entertainment. The buffet restaurant is clean and there is lots of choice, it was lovely to sit outside and enjoy the views whilst dining. The hotel is perfectly situated for the beach, and even has its own gated entrance straight across the road from Maspalomas beach, shops and bars. There are three pools at the hotel, the main pool on the 1st level which also has a snack bar. Every time I visited the snack bar there didn’t seem to be much available, despite me going at the advertised times. The middle pool on the 6th level is stunning and has incredible views right over the sea. It’s much quieter and a more relaxed vibe, having its own bar. This is where I preferred to spend my time. There is also a third pool which seemed empty anytime I caught sight of it, I wasn’t sure if this pool was specifically for Unique tier guests. I went Premium All Inclusive but on reflection, for the drinks I personally chose to drink, this wasn’t needed. There was a great selection regardless. The cocktails are pre-mix from a machine but are pleasant enough. Aside from one bartender at the central pool bar who made my Mojito from scratch! Now for the one sticking point that I observed throughout my stay. There were numerous occasions throughout my stay where staff seemed to disregard me. This was particularly notable in the restaurant where I would observe them providing water to tables, taking orders for drinks, clearing empty plates. This never seemed to happen for me and I was confused as to why. Same also happened when hotel staff were circulating around guests to tell them about events, and also when walking around offering things, they would walk straight past me. The only difference I could see between myself and the other guests was that I was alone. Being a solo traveller can be isolating as it is, so it was a real shame that this added to that feeling. I would return to Corallium Dunamar, as the hotel is lovely and incredibly relaxing, but can only hope that in the future I would receive the same experience as other guests.

A very good stay lovely hotel exceptional hospitality and staff

This is the second year I have been here and it has been just as lovely. I would recommend a unique room as you get access to the unique lounge. All of the staff are warm and friendly but a special mention to Arinegua, Evelyn and chef Nauzet from the lounge at breakfast who are all brilliant. Good evening entertainment especially the band (I think they were called The Duke) Hopefully I will be back next year!

Absolutely lovely unique lounge for breakfast was amazing. Arinegua and Evelyn were brilliant so polite and attentive it was a real treat.

I’m going to sandwich this as there are positives but negatives. The location is great if looking for direct beach access. Would of been great to be told about the gate down the bottom pool to walk directly over instead of just stumping upon it. I will say tho! Sea view rooms are noisy! Music from The bars play until 2am! Not a great issue for me as I have small humans so have learnt the art of blocking noise. We upgraded to unique 2 days into our holiday and this is what made our 10 night stay paletable! Huge love to Evelyn and arinegue whom were attentive, friendly and laughed with love at my partners poor attempts at Spanish! Being able to have fresh cooked breakfast, and choice was a life saver! The solarium room was ok, I was expecting better but I’ll move onto that and break things down. Staff. I cannot fault the staff. All friendly! However I will raise we asked for a bed topper twice after upgrading and never recieved it and nor did we ever catch sight of the “pillow menu”. The hotel was incredibly clean! Despite peeling outdated decor. Lifts from 1997 everything was gleaming! I did panic seeing a cockroach night one by the pool bar but this is the only one I seen during our duration of stay. Food. If you are a 90s kid like me and remember crinkle carrots, purée mash and a sense of I have no idea what that is you will then rate the food. A huge concern for me was labelling. I mistook fish for pork, I couldn’t tell you what the desserts were. And even ate one with nuts unlabelled which is lucky I don’t carry an allergy. The food was lukewarm which is not a huge issue but there was just a lack of things to make a kind of meal with. I will say the one night I had steak was fab but the food was nothing to ride home about. Placement of items made no sense and there was just a lack of anything that met the needs of those with aversions or allergies. Meal times were like locusts feeding, and for a 4 star I had hoped the food was at least palettable and the experience slightly peaceful but this was a disappointment for me! All inclusive. Now when I book all inclusive I expect all inclusive. We upgraded to premium for branded drinks although the menus were restrictive and limited! Drinks are only 11-11 and food is non existent throught the days other than mealtimes! Not that the majority of it was edible! Rooms; The rooms were outdated and needed some serious tlc. The aircon was as effective as being coughed on by my 10 year old. The grout needed some serious bleaching. Hangers coated in a grease like substance and dressers and drawers crack and looking tired. The beds are hard and there is no sight of a double. It’s two pushed together, so forbid you wish to hug your partner as your be lost down into the depths of the inbetween darkness . There are a couple of random baskets screwed to the wall as decor and bin baskets but we were unsure if these could be used as bins or not. No milk in the rooms for tea and coffee. No bottles of water freely accessible. Although in unique we got two glass 500ml bottles a day. The unique upgrade to the solarium meant we had a quiet space to sunbathe on comfy beds! However no shower up there and the jacuzzi wasn’t in order meaning we didn’t utilise this as much as we wanted! The flooring had obviously been painted and was showing significant wear as was the pergolas. The entertainment was non existent other than dj and a show or a band or something not frivolous. The daytime entertainment was fitness based which is fine but I would of loved some sort of entertainment or activities. There was wine tasting but as not a huge drinker and a further cost I didn’t partake. Sunbeds were plenty. Although comfort wasn’t king. Cocktails for all inclusive was extremely limited. As was drink options if I’m being honest. I feel 4stars for this hotel is incorrect and would score it 3/3.5. Aestically it’s pleasing; but we expected so much more from a 4 star and have been left disappointed. Accessibility wise I feel it’s quite subpar too! Although not wheelchair bound myself I have varying invisible disabilities and simple reasonable adjustments could of been helpful. The main stairs when hitting the brown marble can be tricky for those with any sense of visual impairment and I struggled down these as I couldn’t decipher where one step ended and began. The lifts are too small to comfortably accommodate a wheelchair user and more than one carer and luggage. I only noticed the pool down the bottom had a chair hoist for getting into the pool. I think this place has so much potential especially when the staff absolutely make the place. However this was a miss of a holiday for us and we’ve come away feeling quite sad and disappointed in our stay.

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. The room was unique, stylish, and very comfortable, with every detail carefully thought out. The exceptional service provided by the Unique team made our stay even more special. A special compliment to the wonderful staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, professional, and spoke several languages fluently, making every guest feel at home. Breakfast was one of the highlights of our stay. Every morning we were warmly looked after by Arinegua, Evelyn, and Arminda, together with the talented chef. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared, and the service was always delivered with a smile. And if you love coffee, you are in for a treat—the cappuccino is simply outstanding and one of the best we’ve ever had! Thank you to the entire team for making our holiday so memorable. We highly recommend this hotel and can’t wait to come back! Michael & Rubio

My wife and I recently stay at Corallium Dunamar for our honeymoon. From the moment we checked in we were welcomed by a lovely gentlemen called Jorge. Jorge was fanatic with us and made us feel so at ease and felt like we were home. We had booked the Unique package with breakfast but we were treated to the vip lounge everyday as an upgrade present from the hotel which was an awesome touch! The room was amazing with sea views and our own solarium. The hotel is super clean and efficient and every body is super lovely and welcoming. We visited for our honeymoon but we sure are going to book again for our anniversary! 10/10 would recommend!

Very clean hotel, my room was well equipped 736. Very quiet hotel not much noise. Atmosphere in hotel was quiet and may not suit younger travellers looking for entertainment or a vibe! Main bar followed Worldcup. Majority of adults are older 65+. Hotel caters for disabled persons. Location is perfect for shops and beach. Would not spend money on Unique or premium drinks unless you are you really feel its a must for you. I did consider it, but personally did not see a greater benefit. My only gripe was the need for fresh drinking water as this was not freely avaible, you have to ask at either reception or the snack bar which does not open until 10am, or the restaurant for a bottle. I often just went to th elocal shops and bought it and decanted it to my cool flask. Food was ok for me I managed, however I was aware that many were not impressed by the selection of hot foods at lunch or evening. I am used to All Inclusive and have seen better choices and set ups, but I did not starve LOL. As a solo traveller I felt bery safe in hotel and in the resort. Be aware that the beach does permit topless bathing and nudity. Very liberating !

Very nice and helpful staff! We were enjoying the unique experience, the breakfast was our favorite! Delicious courses and very kind staff!

So, we were expecting good things from this hotel as we had upgraded to 'Unique' and the ultra All inclusive package when we booked. We arrived at the hotel at approximately 11.30am in the morning after a very early start to our day. With the 'Unique' package it states you have your own check in desk with welcome drinks. Our experience was different. Sure there was a Unique dedicated desk, but alas no one there! So I joined the back of a long queue and my partner stayed at the Unique desk, just incase. After waiting in the queue for over 35mins I eventually made it to the front. "I'd like to check in please" "I'm doing check outs" was the reply, my partner then came over from the vacant Unique desk and she asked about the supposed exclusive check in. At this point the receptionist huffed a bit and agreed to check us in, although our room wasn't ready, but then at least we had our 2 bands each, one being Unique the other stating we had the 'Ultra All inclusive" put on our wrists. We were showed round, or should I say marched round the hotel very quickly on the 2 main floors to show us the buffet etc. "I will phone you when the room is ready" she said. Great now we could get a drink! Had a bite to eat and waited for a call. At 2pm I wandered back to reception to ask if our room was ready yet, just wanted to get out of our travelling clothes. Oh yes was the reply, yay! No phone call, but hey ho. Room: We were on the 8th floor with our own shared Unique area for sunbathing This was an area outside the rooms, but due to lack of any pool in this area or the ability to get a drink of any kind, we only used it the once, also the shower did not work in this area. Yes we had tea and coffee, but alas no milk! We asked about this and apparently according to one member of staff, they dont put milk in the rooms because of environmental reasons and another said it was because it goes off, I mean there is a fridge in the room! Also while we were unpacking we finished the 2 bottles of water in the room. No worries i said to my partner, I'll pop to the bar and grab a couple of bottles of water. When I got there i was told, sorry we've run out, come back in an hour or 2 wtf! So basically you get 2 glass bottles of water in the room, thats it. The bars only have water by the glass from a machine. While I'm on about water, in the restaurant, they serve you water from reusable glass bottles. So god only knows what water you are drinking, could be possibly tap water as it didn't taste good. The water machines by the bars were just topped up, never ever sore them being cleaned. Anyway back to the room, they are a little tired and the beds are 2 singles pushed together that slid apart if you went near the gap lol. The air con is extremely old with which you have very little control over. If it was any hotter outside I think the air con would massively struggle. The water pressure in the room was terrible, not exclusive to our room I found out from other guests, especially on floor 8. It made having a shower fun and we called it going for a hokey Cokey, as you had to jump in -out, in -out as it went hot then cold. Towels were rough and I use softer ones for rags back home. So on our first day I was off to buy both milk and water! So much for being Ultra all inclusive 🙄 Food...... It was not great at all. In the Buffet, there was very little choice each day and I'm by no means a fussy eater. The hot food was also put in small dishes, which ran out very quickly if it was busy. So you're at the front of the que and if they had run out of a couple of things, you would have to wait for them to top up, while the other thinks on your plate were getting cold or should I say colder. Food was always luke warm. I was bored of the choices after 4 days, so I was pulling my hair out after 2 weeks. Whilst waiting for food to be topped up, I frequently watched the chefs cooking food on the middle grill, using the same tongs to put on raw meat, then take cooked meat off. Could lead to possible contamination, with raw chicken and cooked chicken. In summary of the buffet, it was VERY repetitive with little choice, and often only just warm. I was really disappointed and probably the worst buffet I've been to anywhere and we've done loads. The only good thing about the food was the Unique breakfast, but again very limited al a carte menu. All the inclusive cocktails were sugary syrup based and horrible. If you paid, you got nice cocktails In the restaurants the service was also very lack luster, maybe not the servers fault, but too little staff for the size of the restaurant. In the 2 weeks I was there, I was only asked if I wanted a drink at lunch once! We often helped ourselves to water from the refillable bottles from the waiter stations as it was sometimes the only way you'd get water. Bars and Ultra All inclusive....(UAI) The 2nd day I went to the bar and asked for one of the mocktails, "You have to pay for that one!" But I'm uai I said, sorry we charge for that one, so I thought sod it, ok I'll have a spiced rum and coke please. "We dont have any" came the reply, " but I can see it on the shelf!" Oh you guessed it.... but you have to pay extra for that! But I'm uai I said, sorry its not included was the reply. Not the bar mans fault. But the missus was getting annoyed at this point, so she marched off to find the customer relations, (CR) Claudia I think was his name. My partner asked CR what was the point of being Uai with so many drinks you have to pay for, she also mentioned about the water and milk. His answer was, oh yes everyone complains about this. He was more interested in charming her and showing how special her name of Tara was in Spain. Nothing about any of the issues! We did try the Al-a-Carte meal in the Mediterranean restaurant, but this was nothing special and nothing I couldn't get at the buffet. If I wanted a steak or Bass, yep, you had to pay extra, might as well go out to a restaurant outside the hotel! The exclusive Solarium for Unique guests only did have cushions on the sun beds, but you felt every bounce when someone walked across it. It was like trying to relax on a trampoline. This area was also again furthest from and bar or pool. The hotel in general was on a steep hill, so not great if you have any mobility issues and wanted to use some of the areas, not a problem for us, but just saying. The hotel was kept tidy, however the bridge behind the pool bar was dipping badly in the middle as in my view was dangerous and could lead to a fall if walking back in the evenings. I could go on about our disappointments about this hotel, but I'm going to leave it there. We just weren't made to feel special or valued guests in any way whatsoever, let alone "Unique guests" This hotel just seems to be about what extra money they can get out of you, regarding drinks, and food. The 2 upgrades we made were just not worth it and we paid alot of money to stay here. The hotel spends more time looking after the public they allow in to the bars who are paying for drinks. I will NEVER stay at this hotel or brand of hotel again, its the most disappointed I've been on holiday in 40 years! People just beware, you can do better for your hard earned holiday and money!

We visited in June 26 and had a wonderful time. Sara on the pool bar was great, she knew exactly what we drank after the first couple of visits. Well worth staying here.

What a fantastic hotel, staff all extremely friendly and knowledgeable, dealt with my unfortunate loss of my wallet giving advice, booking taxi’s to police, airport etc. Went way out of the way for us. Special shout out to bar staff and especially Paulo M Mucho Gracias Seniorita.
