The Grand Hotel Residencia lies in the south of the island amidst a 1,000 year old palm oasis that is also a nature preserve. The beautiful beach and famous sand dunes of Maspalomas are just a few minutes away on foot. As the first and only Leading Small Hotel of the World, this jewel among the Seaside houses will captivate you with its extraordinary architecture. The two-story villas, kept in a Spanish/Moorish style, designed and furnished by the French designer and architect Alberto Pinto, are embedded in a tropical garden. The heart of this lovely resort landscape is the spacious heated freshwater pool with its expansive sun terrace where you will find plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas for your relaxation (free-of-charge). The amenities offered in this deluxe 5-star hotel will meet even the most scrupulous luxury standards.
The two-person rooms (33 m²), furnished exclusively in the Spanish-Moorish style, all offer a view either of the dunes, the garden and the pool or of the backcountry and lovely mountains of Gran Canaria. Outside, all rooms offer guests either a balcony or a pleasant, private and protected patio with stylish teak-wood furniture. Inside, either there is air-conditioning or individually controlled heating through hot-water radiators. Guests will also find satellite TV, a radio, CD and cassette player, 2 telephones, one with voice-mail, a no-fee safe, a minibar as well as a computer and Internet link in every room. The Colonial style bathrooms all have a bathtub and separate toilette, as well as in-floor heating on the ground floor. Bathrobes, bath slippers and blow dryer are, of course, also available in every bathroom. |
