Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Hotel Cordial Mogán Playa is highly recommended for food lovers and garden enthusiasts seeking botanical beauty and Michelin-starred dining. Standout features are the traditional Canarian village design, botanical gardens, and Los Guayres restaurant.

Guests score it 8.9 out of 10 — the average across the 29 hotels we list on Gran Canaria is 8.8.
The 30-second verdict
What Guests Loved
- The property is constructed as a series of low-rise buildings and plazas, replicating the aesthetic of a local Spanish village to provide a grounded sense of place.
- Dense subtropical gardens featuring over 200 plant species surround the swimming areas, creating natural privacy and a cooler microclimate throughout the resort grounds.
Things to Consider
- The village-style footprint means some guest rooms are located a significant distance from the main lobby and breakfast areas, which may be inconvenient for those with limited mobility.
- The main restaurants enforce a formal dress code during dinner service, including long trousers for men, which may feel restrictive for travelers accustomed to more casual beach resorts.

What guests say
Reviews from Google“Our stay at Cordial Mogan Playa was genuinely unforgettable. The hotel feels like a botanical garden mixed with a luxury resort. The staff deserve special praise. Every single person we met was friendly, professional, and always smiling. From reception to housekeeping and restaurant staff, everyone made us feel welcome and cared for. The whole hotel is incredibly well maintained. The pool area is clean, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers. The food was also very enjoyable, with a good variety every day. And finally, the cats! One of the most charming parts of the hotel. The friendly cats wandering peacefully around the gardens made the place feel even more unique and warm. They were clearly well cared for. Cordial Mogan Playa is truly a special place, combining nature, comfort, excellent service, and a peaceful atmosphere.”
“The staff are amazing and what makes the hotel, every single person who works there is a credit to the hotel. The hotel itself is having a small identity crisis, its a bit like being in Morocco, a splash of Barbados, with a hint of spain and Greece and some Disney thrown in for good measure. We only had the breakfast which is not the best to be fair... I found the food to be very greasy and processed apart from the fresh fruit. Even the yogurt was full of colourings. I did notice that alot of Spanish people had bought their own supplies which says alot. Never had a problem getting a sunbed and the pool was lovely. The grounds are well looked after and as you walk down to the chapel, its very Barbadian. There is little to do in the area, so we spent most of it by the pool, the market is massive on a Friday but if your room happens to face that way be prepared to be woken up by 5am with the market traders. Drinks are expensive and so are ice creams. Theres two nice restaurants in the shopping precinct over from the hotel called N44 and Menor Mar, but the shopping precinct has seen better days and is shabby and run down, not very pleasant. If you want a super relaxing holiday by the pool with a visit to little Venice which is lovely and has one lovely shop and some.nice restaurants then I recommend.”
“This was our second stay here, and it definitely won't be our last! The hotel is always spotlessly clean, the food is lovely with plenty of choice, and all of the staff are so friendly and welcoming. As a single mum, I always feel safe and comfortable staying here, which means so much when travelling with my daughter. She absolutely loved the pool, and we never struggled to find a sunbed to relax on. The hotel is in a lovely, quiet area of Gran Canaria, just a short walk from the beautiful marina, which is perfect for an evening stroll. We had the most relaxing 11 days and made some amazing memories together. I wouldn't hesitate to come back for a third visit. Thank you for another fantastic holiday!”
“Awesome! Everything is perfect. The lobby has a great vibe, there is smooth new age music being played and you hear the soothing sound of water splashing in the river. Very relaxing! The rooms have capsule coffee makers and the AC is so good that you don't even need it running on full throttle all the time. There is a nice breeze coming in through the balcony doors. The food selections at the buffet are overwhelming and very tasty. Would be great to see even more veggie-options but there is lots do eat as it is. Staff is great and it is very clean. Can fully recommend!”
“This is a lovely hotel and is well maintained. The rooms are pleasant but a little dated. They have plenty of space available. We stayed 10 nights on half-board plus. We would stay again but probably on bed & breakfast. The dinner option is a buffet and its very busy. You also have to choose a 5:45 or 7:45 sitting and are allocated a table for your stay. The conditions of HB+ are not very clear - you get house wine, soft drinks or beer included with the evening meal. However, we found (on the last night) that we got a discount off a nice wine from the drinks menu. The house wines were very young and not great - not recommended. However, the white and rose cava options were pleasant. Not sure whether the aircon was switched off but could not see how to activate in our room. It would have been great to have it in the gym. This may sound quite negative but I am trying to help others who stay. The 2 pools are lovely, clean and in nice garden settings. Lovely spacious foyer / reception / bar.”
