We stayed 1 week and the first thing that we tried was the breakfast(not much variety as we had a few options from a plate called Brunch Breakfast: fries, beans, bacon…) kind of disappointed because we could not enjoy a proper Spanish plates in the hotel and we preferred to get food outside.
In our first room(you will know later why is our first room) we had to deal with the main door, we could not close it if we did not have the key, so basically a simple wind or just not locking it will open it or even by itself, not reallly good and a thing that has to be fixed ASAP.
Room was kind of small, uncomfortable and unorganised.
The tv was not really in front of our beds(we supposed to have 1 bed but we got 2, we did not really mind) not a real problem with the tv.
We had no mirror, only the one in the toilet.
Bed sheets were not changed when we arrived, not even a few days after we stayed, 1 of them had a small thing in the middle of the bed sheet.
Pillows are small and hard to sleep with it, every morning waking up with a pain in the neck and back.
Terrace had what it needed, not that much.
Toilet was totally reformed so it “WAS GOOD”
After a few days that we stayed, we went outside and when we came back, the floor of the main door of our room from outside was really wet, once we got inside all the place was with water, some of our clothes were wet too because of one of the pipes from the toilet was not working properly and all the water came out.
The team from reception offered us to change to another room, we said yes and the second room was bigger and organised, this room had mirror.
I selected this hotel because I did not check the reviews, honestly I did not think it could be that bad, but once I read the reviews I can understand some of them.
All the team from the hotel 10/10
The hotel by itself 2/10

Yes the place is old and definitely needs a refurb, but the apartment size was great and close the the beach and amenities.
The food was hit and miss with All inclusive, the staff generally friendly just a couple of team members working in the restaurant had NO customer service skills.
But if you want a cheap holiday choose here .

If you're searching for a budget-friendly getaway in Gran Canaria, look no further than Hotel Corona Roja. Despite its two-star rating, this gem offers incredible value for money. The all-inclusive food is a definite highlight, ensuring you're well-fed throughout your stay.
It's important to note that this isn't a five-star establishment, so manage your expectations accordingly. However, the hotel compensates with its convenient amenities. While the TV may be paid and WiFi in rooms comes at a cost, free internet in the reception area is a welcome perk. Plus, with roaming costs being affordable nowadays, it's not a major inconvenience.
Location-wise, you're in for a treat. Just a five-minute stroll to the beach, and a leisurely 20-minute walk to the stunning Maspalomas Dunes. The bus station is conveniently close, making it easy to explore the island. Additionally, there's no shortage of dining, drinking, and shopping options within a short walking distance, including local prices at the shop on the ground floor.
Not to mention, our room boasted breathtaking views from the balcony overlooking the mesmerizing dunes and sparkling ocean. Waking up to such a picturesque sight was the perfect way to start each day of our stay.
What truly sets this hotel apart is its exceptional staff. Friendly and helpful receptionists ensure your needs are met with a smile. Overall, my experience at Hotel Corona Roja was fantastic, and I wouldn't hesitate to return for another memorable stay.

My original review has been removed so I'll keep this short since it's only going to be taken down again. I checked out within hours of checking in. Look at my other reviews and you will see that I'm not in the habit of bad-mouthing places. Don't trust the reviews because the true to life ones have been removed. I even had photos to back up what I had said.

The rooms are really dated. Beds and pillows like bricks and have to pay to watch tv. Not very clean and welcoming. The balcony was best part of the room. Lighting was terrible aswell but for a cheap week was fine. Lifts are tiny and take forever to come and if 4 people in there u csnt fit in. The pool area is nice but the beds are just plastic really could have done with a mattress as not comfortable especially after you are sore from the hard beds in the room. Staff are lovely and i mean really really nice. From reception to the bar to cleaners everyone is friendly and helpfull. Food is basic and not a lot of choice but fresh salad bar each meal and i think 7 main meal options at other times. I did get pork in a sauce one afternoon and the meat was raw not a little but completly raw. I didnt complain just left it but i did see the waiter shout over the cook and show them. I didnt want to make a issue so never said anything but did put be off a little. If i was here 2 weeks i would not have ate there as pork most days with hot dog and burger and chips. Salad was the best. Bar and drinks were great no issues and Alex on the bar of a an evening was lovely really friendly and helpfull with information about the local area. Also the lady at reception in the blazer was lovely i think she was the manager she always took time out to speak with you and was genuine. The shop is well stocked but older guy on till and lad stocking shelves would shout to each other while serving you and laugh and made you feel like they were taking the mick out you some time. Would i go back No probs not it was a cheap hotel but after all the extras with bags seats transfers i should have booked with TUI for a better hotel. Live and learn still enjoyed it and still had fun but wouldnt go back
