Aparthotel Maracaibo

The hotel itself is ok, paid for an upgrade which is probably worth it for the extra towel changes. Cleaning was done to an acceptable standard. As for self catering, if you like microwaved food, fine. We ate cereal for breakfast but there is no oven, just a two ring hot plate and a microwave. Nowhere to put your pots to dry either! Location wise, HiperDino over the road is ok, not an extensive choice like the big Spar across from the Mogan Mall in the centre but sufficient for the basics. You’ll have to walk to the restaurants (or taxi of course!) but it’s a pleasant walk anyway, especially when you find the steps to the road below. I didn’t know about the feral cat sanctuary next door, that would have put me off booking because there are loads of the things roaming around but if you like cats, no worries. Not the hotel’s fault! Overall, I thought the hotel was a good base to explore, away from the noise that is in the centre but close enough to walk in and find everything.

Very nice hotel and the staff where very service minded.And a beauty salon in basement near the pool was very nice to use.Short way to the beach and shopping center.Good restaurant at shopping center and along the beach.Also buy good drinks and English breakfast.

Maracaibo has a very nice location in Puerto Rico. We travelled with friends and used the garden in the evenings. A nice garden and bar. The hotel is clean and the staff is very friendly. A smal foodgrocery in the neigbourhood sell everything you need. Can also recommend restaurant La Taberna, located nearby. We have been at this hotel many times and will come back.

The apartments are very well located, within walking distance to bars, shops and beach. The apartments themselves are spacious and clean. The pool area and pool bar is very nice and all the staff are friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money.

in 2025 we have booked for the seventh year price qualitiy are verry good supermarket at 25 meters at 8.30 hour we have breakfast on the balcony in the sun with a nice vieuw you should walk ok otherwise take a taxi it will bring you everywhere in puerto rico for 5 euro

Stayed for 1 week in the middle of September with my fiancé, we’re both in our 30’s and had the best little break away here. We booked this holiday last minute, neither of us had never been to Gran Canaria before and we have nothing negative to say about our stay at the Maracaibo. The weather was perfect, sunshine everyday and not too hot. After reading all the reviews I am very glad we decided to book one of the Deluxe One Bedroom Apartments. As this just gave us a little more space in the apartment and we had a fantastic view of the swimming pool and the beach. HOTEL: - friendly/helpful hotel staff. - good aircon unit - rooms get cleaned regularly and towels changed daily. - hotel great location, high enough up for a fantastic sea view but not too high up that we couldn’t walk down to the beach and town everyday. (Roughly took us about 6/7 minutes to walk down to the centre. - nice size pool area, plenty of beds, reasonably priced food and drinks at the on-site restaurant. We didn’t spend much time at the pool as to be honest it was a little quiet for us, a little bit of subtle radio or music in the background would be quite a nice addition. BEACHES: - we only used Puerto Rico beach once but spent most days at Amadores Beach. As personally we thought beach had a bit more to it, clearer waters, more spacious, lots of beach restaurants and bars to choose from. In a taxi from the hotel took around 6 minutes and was about €7 one way. Or sometimes we walked directly there or back from the hotel which is a nice coastal walk and took around 30 minutes. We visited Anfi beach too, which is also a short taxi ride away, although a beautiful beach we preferred Amadores beach. Anfi seemed more overcrowded and had more rules and restrictions regarding playing beach games etc. - on the last day we spent the day at Amadores Beach Club. I would highly recommend doing this as a little treat. We paid €40 for the two of us. This included a large rounded beach bed facing the sea, an alcoholic or soft beverage each and full access of the pool and spa facilities in the beach club all day. We also ate in the restaurant there and the food and cocktails were amazing. AREA: - about 30/40 minutes from the airport. If you haven’t got transport included in your holiday DONT make the mistake we made and jump straight in a taxi from the airport to the hotel. We got completely ripped off and paid about $70. We later found out you can get a bus to and from airport for around €7 each and there is bus stop RIGHT OUTSIDE the hotel. (Silly us for not doing our research). - after hiring a car one day and driving round different parts of Gran Canaria we were happy really we decided to stay in Puerto Rico. It was the perfect area to be in for couples holiday in my opinion. Close to numerous beaches and lots of bars and restaurants to choose from. RESTAURANTS/BARS - a lot of people mention the Shopping Centre Puerto Rico on the reviews, we did go in there most ni
