Rooms at Exe Las Palmas are spacious and clean, with modern plumbing, comfortable beds, air conditioning, parquet floors, a TV, and a laptop safe. However, the windows face the neighboring building, so you’ll have to deal with closed curtains. Free Wi-Fi is available.
The hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant, but it does have a rooftop lounge area with a pool, jacuzzi, and sauna. The pool is more for photo sessions than swimming, but the view of the ocean from the jacuzzi is impressive! On weekends, a DJ plays here, so you can have a spontaneous party under the stars.

Address: Calle Portugal, 68, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
✅My hotel rating: 4.9 out of 5

- Price/quality: 5
- Service: 4.5
Hotel Sercotel Playa Canteras is located in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria right on the front line, 50 m from the beach. The rooms with a balcony offer a stunning view of the ocean. Nearby are the Plaza de España, Mesa y López Avenue, the La Regenta Museum of Modern Art, Santa Catalina Park, and Casino Las Palmas.
The hotel is decorated in a strict style with bright colors. Each room has everything you need. However, the rooms themselves… seem like they haven’t seen a renovation since the ’70s.
The breakfasts are good, but the Wi-Fi works so-so. Room cleaning is daily, but it doesn’t save you from feeling like you’re in a budget motel. If you’re just stopping by for the night, it’s okay, but for a full vacation, I would look for something nicer.
The hotel has a spa center with a wide selection of spa treatments and massage sessions. Fans of active recreation can visit the fitness center. Pleasant relaxation is offered by the jacuzzi and sauna. You can rent a car at the reception, which is quite convenient for exploring the island. Parking near the hotel is quite a challenge, but guests are given a discount on underground parking. After 11 p.m., you can only enter the building with a guest card — at least some security, considering its location on a busy promenade.
Pros:
- Frontline location, close to the beach
- Beautiful ocean view from rooms with a balcony
- Delicious breakfasts
- The ability to rent a car directly at the hotel
Cons:
- Rooms are old and need renovation

My conclusions
If you’re too lazy to read the entire text above, here are my top 3 hotels in Gran Canaria:
- Sercotel Hotel Parque – for those not intimidated by busy traffic. However, there’s a stop, shops, and restaurants nearby. And the ocean and park are also included!
- Hotel Escuela Santa Brígida – perfect for relaxation in nature. Landscape design, cuisine, and service are top-notch. As long as a neighbor’s snoring doesn’t bother you, of course.
- VEINTIUNO Emblematic Hotel – adults only. Stylish, trendy, youthful, and affordable. Although without any excesses like an Olympic-sized pool.
Even if you are budget-conscious, you’ll still find a place to stay in Gran Canaria. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try new things. And remember: the main thing on vacation is the attitude, not the number of stars on the hotel’s facade. So set yourself on a positive wave, pack your bags and move forward.
