Gold By Marina

Really good hotel and would definitely consider staying here again if back in GC! Pros: - Amazing breakfast, especially with the show cooking, the chefs doing this were amazing and there was so much choice - Location was perfect. Less than 10 mins one way to Yumbo, less than 10 mins the other way to beach front, and easy to get taxis if needed right outside - Staff were all super friendly and couldn't do enough for you - No sunbed wars! Could get a sunbed at any time of the day, never too far from the pool, and they were really comfy Cons: - As two women, storage was a major issue! Could definitely benefit from some wardrobes/cupboards - It was really difficult to get shade with the parasols being in front and behind sunbeds. Even when you put them up, they only covered a really tiny part of your lounger - No poolside food after 4 and no room service - Walls were quite thin, could hear a lot on the rooms on either side and doors banging - Couldn't get second shower head working though i'm sure if we'd asked reception they'd have fixed this - Some days we were left a bottle of water, others we weren't As you can see, none of the cons are actually THAT bad, and the pros did outweigh them for us. There was also a really nice mix of people at the hotel, everyone seemed friendly and respectful, and it was a really chilled poolside environment with nice music, and sometimes a DJ or live singer. We also really appreciated being at a smaller hotel rather than the massive ones with hundreds and hundreds of people, and walking ten mins back to your room if you forgot something, so based on all of that, we would go back but sorting the storage issue out would make it a 5/5 for me!

My husband and I stayed here and it was fantastic! The staff were lovely, the whole place was clean, plenty of sun beds and the breakfast every morning was great. Would recommend if coming to Gran Canaria!

Good central location to shops & beach, area felt safe at night, everything in the hotel was lovely, room was lovely albeit it's nearing a time for refurbishment, breakfast & poolside areas never overcrowded, just relaxed & pleasant

One of the nicest hotels Ive stayed in and would highly recommend We will definitely be going back very soon

Could not fault this hotel and all staff. From checking in with a complimentary drink to checking out the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, couldn’t do enough to help you. The room was spotless, very comfortable and in particular the bathroom with a great power shower and constant hot water.Room was cleaned daily with fresh towels every day. Towels were also provided daily to use by the pool and the beach. We were left a complimentary bottle of bubbly in our room for my friend’s birthday as well as 2 complimentary bottles of beer or cider. One morning we had an issue with the air con not working, reported it to reception and it was fixed straight away. The pool was lovely, so clean, the sun beds were very comfortable with the whole decor and layout of the hotel very stylish, comfortable and clean. Breakfast every morning was great, so much to choose from fruit, cereal to cooked. Overall my experience at the Gold Hotel was first class and would highly recommend it. If I go to Gran Canaria again I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

absolutely fantastic hotel.From arriving there till leaving a week later was perfect. no problem getting sunbeds there was always free ones and very comfortable beds too. Exceptionally clean .Rooms are stunning,food is amazing and staff very friendly. Probably the best hotel ever and we will definately be back

The whole vibe of the hotel is excellent, all the staff very helpful, the noise level was perfect, the service was excellent, the amenities were excellent

Our stay at Gold by Marina has been spectacular. From the moment we arrived the experience was exceptional. We received a warm welcome, and the offer of a chilled glass of cava during check-in created an excellent first impression. The reception team set the tone for a wonderful stay with their warm and attentive hospitality. The check-in process was seamless, and every member of staff was welcoming, friendly, and highly professional. Their level of service was truly first-class. Gold by Marina is ideally located in the resort, only a short stroll from the beach and is surrounded by an excellent selection of shops, bars, and restaurants. Our room was stunning, generously sized, thoughtfully designed, with modern stylish colours. A thoughtful welcome gift of a bottle of red wine and sweets was waiting in our room, making us feel warmly invited from the outset. The room had lovely fresh scent on arrival and was spotlessly clean throughout. The bed was large and exceptionally comfortable, complemented by plenty of plump pillows and high-quality, soft bedding. The air conditioning was efficient and kept the room at a comfortable temperature. Excellent in-room amenities, including dressing gowns, slippers, nice refillable toiletries and a pod coffee machine, added a touch of luxury and made our stay exceptionally comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the large smart TV with international channels, while the fully equipped kitchenette provided added convenience. A sunny balcony with views stretching out towards the sea and the dunes. The hotel has a chic, modern design with a fresh and vibrant feel, while maintaining a sociable yet laid-back atmosphere. A highlight for us was relaxing by the pool on the comfortable sun loungers, there was never any difficulty finding a sun-bed with plenty of space to unwind and soak up the sunshine. During our stay, live music sessions around the pool added to the ambience and enhanced the overall experience. The breakfast was amazing a must to add to your booking, especially appreciated that it is served from morning until noon allowing a leisurely and unhurried start to the day. The buffet was fantastic, everything was beautifully presented, fresh, high quality with a great selection something to suit everyone. The freshly squeezed orange juice machine was a wonderful addition, offering a refreshing and energising vitamin C hit each morning. Delicious warm breads, tasty made-to-order omelettes, superb coffee and the cava at breakfast made it feel extra special. Another highlight was the “Bubbles with the Team” evening on a Monday, which was a delightful experience. It was wonderful to relax, chat with both staff and fellow guests, and enjoy such a laid-back setting. You could genuinely sense how much the team care about creating a personal and memorable stay for everyone. What truly made this stay unforgettable, was the staff, every single team member was warm, professional and genuinely welcoming in every department. This hotel is an absolute gem and we are looking forward to returning

We absolutely loved our stay and only wished we could have stayed longer. We were warmly welcomed by Christian at the front desk, who checked us in effortlessly and shared all the useful information and thoughtful recommendations we needed for our stay. Following check-in, we were welcomed with a delicious glass of sparkling wine, a lovely gesture that set the tone beautifully. We must have been given one of the finest rooms in the hotel, on the 9th floor, with wonderful views over the pools and the dunes in the distance. We truly adored our room. The hotel also provided a complimentary bottle of red wine, which we enjoyed on our balcony while taking in the views and savouring the moment. A generously sized bottle of water was also waiting for us in the fridge, perfectly chilled. And the bed—without exaggeration, one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in at a hotel. No lumpy mattress in sight, which made all the difference. Everything in our room was immaculate and exceptionally well maintained. It was evident that the staff takes great pride in preserving the hotel’s pristine condition. Please keep up the excellent work, as this level of care is exactly what draws guests in and encourages them to return. Breakfast was served from 8 to 12, and it was a genuine highlight of our stay. The hotel offers one of the most impressive breakfast spreads I have experienced at a European hotel. Guests are truly spoilt for choice, with freshly squeezed orange juice, Lavazza coffee machines using fresh beans, bubbly for those who wish to indulge, and even caviar. A truly exceptional spread. The location was superb—just moments from the beach, with a supermarket next door, a lovely selection of restaurants within easy walking distance, and the added convenience of hotel parking, which is a real plus. What made the stay even more memorable was the hotel’s intimate setting, which added a wonderful sense of charm and exclusivity—we would return in a heartbeat.

What a wonderful stay at Gold by Marina. It was our honeymoon and we were received with huge smiles from the reception desk. Our room was beautiful and spotlessly clean. We were surprised with a bottle of wine, Prosecco and chocolates which was such a heart warming gesture and very well received. I do not recall the names but the reception team and also the cleaning staff were exceptional. To be fair to the rest of the staff they all deserve great recognition for their wonderful service. always a welcoming smile and nothing was too much. An amazing experience. We have been coming to Playa Del Ingles for the last 15 years and it was our first time at Gold by Marina and rest assured this will not be our last. See you all soon Paul & Dean ❤️

Wow! What an incredible holiday! I just got back from my first, but certainly not my last, holiday at Gold. First impressions are certainly important and Gold’s certainly didn’t disappoint. We were greeted warmly by the reception team and offered a very welcome glass (or two) of pink cava. The room was stylishly decorated and impeccably clean. What was lovely was that you could have your room cleaned daily and could request clean towels over the app. There was plenty of hot water, a great water pressure and there must’ve been a water softener as my hair became very soft and shiny! The breakfast buffet was a true highlight, with a variety of continental and hot options, which changed daily. Of course, I’ve got to shout out the chefs who operated the ‘show cooking section’ and made delicious omelettes and perfectly poached eggs. The pool area was certainly stunning and very ‘instagramable’ and wins the award for the most comfortable loungers ever. Both pools were kept impeccably clean by the lifeguard and were the perfect temperature for a swim and a relax. Finally, I’ve got to acknowledge the extra touches from the team, that made the holiday that extra special. Every member of staff we spoke to was kind, polite and charismatic, even helping a member of our party with a rather complicated request with her Kindle. The Easter eggs to mark the Easter weekend and the Monday drinks were a lovely touch.

Location is fantastic the staff very friendly and helpful rooms are lovely and equipped and worth every penny definitely recommend and will be back

Another fantastic stay at Gold - our third. Junior suite was great, breakfast was plentiful and so good that it’s served until midday.

My partner and I have stayed at this hotel many times, it’s our go to hotel in Gran Canaria, all guests are respected and as returning guests it’s really lovely to see the same members of the team who always look after everyone and everything so well, every member of the Gold team have a welcoming disposition and a friendly manner, it’s a large hotel with many rooms but is not overcrowded, it has an intimate atmosphere and is a very friendly hotel, it’s not possible to to name all the team but the following are some who we value as friends, apologies if names are spelt incorrectly, Eujenio, Nancy, Andrea, Marta, Gabrielle and all the poolside team, the chefs on the hot food station, Christian ( reception ) , the list is endless, and of course Renaud ( General Manager ) what a great place to stay, nothing is ever too much trouble, thank you sooo much for once again making our stay memorable for all the right reasons, you are all truly valued for what you do, it goes without saying saying that we will be back around same time next year, Many thanks Ian & Paul 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Greate rooms, clean and tidy. You are welcomed as an old friend year in and year out. Marvelous!!!! 10/10 and more
