Barceló Margaritas
Tropical gardens with a full spa on site
About this hotel
Barceló Margaritas sets tropical gardens around its outdoor pools, with two restaurants, a gym and a full spa on site, plus room service and an all-inclusive option that can simplify budgeting for a longer stay. It sits close to English beach, a five-minute taxi ride away, and within the same short-ride radius of Aqualand Maspalomas as the wider Maspalomas hotel scene. The smoke-free property leans into resort scale more than most nearby stays, useful for a family or group that wants the spa and dining variety of a bigger property without leaving the practicality of a Maspalomas base for water-park days behind for even a single evening of the trip.
- Spa and gym
- Tropical gardens
- Two restaurants
- All-inclusive available
Our take
Barceló Margaritas suits travellers who want full resort scale, a spa, gym, gardens and multiple restaurants, alongside easy access to Aqualand Maspalomas. It is a larger, busier property than the boutique or apartment-style stays elsewhere in this list, which will not suit anyone wanting a quiet, genuinely low-key base instead.
- ✓Book spa treatments ahead of arrival during peak weeks, since slots fill up quickly at busy resorts.
- ✓Ask about the all-inclusive option at booking if you want to fix dining costs for the whole stay.
- ✓Reserve a table at one of the two restaurants for special occasions, since both can book out.
Why we love it
- Full spa and gym on site
- Tropical garden grounds
- Two restaurants to choose from

Why guests love itThe spa at Barceló Margaritas gave the adults in our group a genuine reason to look forward to evenings after long days at Aqualand Maspalomas, something a smaller hotel could not have offered. The gardens and two restaurants meant we never ran out of options on site, and English beach was close enough for an easy afternoon. It suits a group wanting full resort scale near the park.
