Lovely hotel, deceptively large, great pools with plenty of sunbeds. Rooms spacious with a balcony but the shower over the bath was a nightmare as it kept flooding the floor. A walk-in shower would be a great asset as I dont think that many people have a bath on holiday. Lovely cacti gardens and a generally well laid out hotel. Unfortunately the food is a big let down for this hotel. The only hot food was the eggs cooked while you waited - fried, omelettes and pancakes in the morning and the steak, other meat and fish in the evening and the soup. The buffet style catering was warm to cold and very disappointingly, tinned and very overcooked vegetables. Most of the food was very bland and if you didnt like the mojo sauce, everything pretty much tasted the same. The best things on the buffet were the salads. We actually found a microwave in the restaurant two days before we left so we would have used that if we had known earlier.
Some of the restaurant staff were abit surly and I think that they could have done with a few more people to help clear tables. The hotel was about half full when we were there so heaven knows what it would be like when it gets to peak season.
We would go back again but only if the food improves. Good location to go out of the hotel into Puerto Mogan as it is a very pretty harbour and a big choice of restaurants. We had a bit of trouble getting through the security doors out of the hotel with the swipe keys but somebody told us not to put them near mobile phones as it deactivates them.

My hubby and I booked this hotel (first time in Gran Canaria) for a week without knowing anything about it. Travelling with my parents (who are in their 60's) and being 6 months pregnant I started to worry on the transfer to the hotel that it was going to be a nightmare - but wow what a lovely hotel - and not a hill to walk up to get there!

On arrival we were greeted with sparkling wine and a warm welcome - it was speedy and the reception area was lovely. We really couldn't fault our rooms - clean, modern and we had a view of the pool. (There was wine and fruit on arrival too which was a nice touch)

Food - a good range, we didn't have a bad meal - buffet style means you make your own mistakes! We did dine out one evening in the harbour area which was delightful too. Service at the hotel bar was a little slow but we were on holiday - what was the rush!

Entertainment - there was something on every night - pretty much what you expect in a 'resort' so no complaints there either.
Location was superb - in easy walk of the harbour and there is lots available to do and see in Puerto de Mogan.

Would highly reccommend this hotel to anyone planning a rest ( you don't need to go outside it!) - we will defo go back again and would have no doubts about bringing a young family there either.

My wife and I stayed at the Cordial Mogan Playa for two weeks in March 2008.
Our transfer from the airport was interminable - I was so gald we had arranged a car for the second week with an airport drop off.
On arrival the hotel look super and we were dealt with at check-in promptly and politely. The reception/main buildiing was very imposing.
Rooms are in 7 main buildings plus some smaller ones for suites and are comfortable, large, clean and well equipped.
Breakfast and dinner are in the main restuarant - which also has a large conservatory area overlooking a large pond and waterfall.
You can opt for lunch instead on a day-by-day basis and that is served in a separate restaurant by one fo the swimming pools. Food was of a very good standard (buffet style) with lots of choice and constantly re-stocked buffet tables.
There was also an option for the A La Carte restaurant at a very reasonable supplement.
There are two swimming pools, both with bar/snackbar and - thank goodness - ample sunbeds.
Service throughout our stay was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone.
Puerto Mogan is probably the only unspoilt resort on the island. Let us hope they manage to keep it that way - all the others have become like a version of Blackpool-in-the-sun.
There is a lovely little port, good restaurants, some shopping and a large outdoor market each Friday (get there early before all the tour buses arrive!!

OK felt I had to write a real review for this hotel. Before I booked this i looked at the reviews on here and was a bit concerned really, but again I like to make my own opinion and there were a lot of good reviews as well as some bad ones. I think it is a case of you get what you pay for. We were fortunate to have a junior suite and I actually took the time to ring the hotel direct and request a suite on the ground floor in a quiet area non smoking ( i had just been diagnosed with lung disease so couldnt manage too many stairs etc) the receptionist also said she would get me a nice sunny terrace/garden.

When we arrived we had the most amazing room with a beautiful garden area which had the sun all day, it was quiet and perfect, we couldnt have wished for better if we had tried.

The hotel is lovely but a little busy due to late opening of the apartments I agree that the pool was busy etc, we did go to the beach a few days and that was fairly quiet really.

We exchanged the voucher for lunch instead of dinner and were spoilt for choice for eating out in the evening some of the best meals we have had on holiday.

This was a perfect place to just chill and relax and I would not hesitate at all in recommending it to you, but it is worth paying a bit more if you can for a suite. You get to eat in the quieter restaurant too.
