Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Lopesan Baobab Resort suits families and travellers seeking an extensive selection of nine swimming pools within walking distance of the beach. It is well rated by a large number of guests. Guests enjoy the cohesive African-inspired architectural design and expansive grounds. However, the large-scale environment feels less intimate, and there are additional fees for specific services.
Guests score it 8.6 out of 10 — the average across the 29 hotels we list on Gran Canaria is 8.8.
The 30-second verdict
What Guests Loved
- With nine distinct swimming areas, the resort offers varied aquatic environments ranging from quiet lagoons to family-focused zones, ensuring guests can find a space that suits their preferred activity level throughout the day.
- The property moves away from traditional Mediterranean styles, utilizing dark woods, thatched roofs, and earthy tones to create a consistent thematic environment across the communal spaces and the spacious guest rooms.
Things to Consider
- Given the resort features over 600 rooms, common areas and dining halls can become crowded during peak holiday periods. Travelers seeking a quiet boutique atmosphere may find the scale of the property somewhat overwhelming.
- While the resort provides a comprehensive range of facilities, guests should be aware that certain amenities, such as the in-room safe or private parking, may incur daily surcharges not included in the standard room rate.

Reviews from Google“A really well designed and African themed hotel. A lot of thought has gone into this massive Lopesan hotel with large pools, mildly heated and a lazy river too. The rooms and walkways were a bit tired, can do with an update. There were occasional wall paper off the wall. The staff and service was good, also used the Lopesan app to request few room items. I found it odd that the pool towels were only given out between 10am-12 pm from the pool huts, however they were available from the reception. The food and the spread during the breakfast was good, the staff and chef were friendly and accommodating. The entertainment every night was good and as of a varied theme. What I loved the most was how when you walked through the entrance, the greenery and the waterfall transported you to the another world and felt relaxed and happy straight away. The hotel is close to promenade, restaurants, Maspalomas beach, famous dunes and a bus station for buses to Puerto de Mogan and Puerto Rico. Overall we had a good stay and holiday with family was good.”
“Excellent service, friendly staff, amazing food, beautiful pools, and impeccable cleanliness throughout the rooms and the entire resort. The only areas for improvement are the sun lounger situation, as many are reserved with towels for hours (staff place notices saying the towels will be removed, but they never are). We also experienced cigarette ash falling onto our balcony from guests smoking on the balcony above us, despite the resort's non-smoking policy and the designated smoking areas available.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The photoshoot with OnePic was absolutely fantastic! Yana, the photographer, was incredibly helpful, professional and, above all, so much fun to work with. She made us feel completely comfortable and her great sense of humor made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The photos themselves are absolutely stunning and the quality is top-notch. I had originally planned to book a photoshoot through GetYourGuide, but I’m so happy that I met Yana at the hotel instead. Her enthusiasm and passion convinced me to book the shoot with her — and I definitely made the right choice! Thank you, Yana, for such a fun and professional experience and for capturing such beautiful memories. I would absolutely recommend OnePic to anyone looking for a great photoshoot! 📸❤️”
“We had a great time at this place. Our son loved the mini disco at night and the girls who did the kids club were amazing! The staff was quick, nice and helpful. The breakfast was great. There was nothing missing. The place is simply amazing with a great pool area with lots of shade and places to relax. There are so many pools, that there is a perfect place for everyone. The rooms are not perfect for families, as the bathroom doesn't have a door and you can not switch on the light on the toilet without switching it on in the hallway. As well the light in the shower lights up the whole room... Everything else: simply great!”
“Firstly, it’s a 15 min walk from the beach. 5 star hotel. And public beaches here. Bear that in mind. Secondly, the hotel is African motif so don’t expect everything to be modern or up-kept. Then out of the 7 restaurants, only 2 are included in the full board, so basically no point getting full board. The restaurants are buffet, one quite good, second is the extension (as you do have to queue for a table) tailored to children. Shower and toilet separate, with the shower room having a semitransparent glass partition to the room. Bear that in mind too if travelling with children. Service… well, first day, but gathered it was going to be “great” by the face the receptionist pulled when he saw our room number. “Canary islands 1 minute” was the first phrase we heard when waiting for our table. Can’t wait for the next 10 days.”
