Pension Alvarez
A no-frills bed close to the park
About this hotel
Pension Alvarez strips a Maspalomas stay down to the basics: a room and Wi-Fi, without a pool, restaurant or bar to pay for alongside the nightly rate. It sits within the same short taxi-ride radius of Aqualand Maspalomas as the area's larger resorts, close to Dunas de Maspalomas, which makes it a workable option for travellers whose budget is going toward park tickets and food rather than hotel amenities. This suits a couple or solo traveller passing through more than a family settling in for a week, since there is no pool to fall back on between park visits and no kitchen for cooking. For a short, low-cost stopover near the water park, though, it does the one job it sets out to do.
- Budget pension
- Wi-Fi included
- Near the Dunas
- Short ride to the park
Our take
Pension Alvarez suits budget travellers who want a bed near Aqualand Maspalomas and nothing more, with no pool, restaurant or family amenities to inflate the price. Families planning a full week around the water park should look toward the resort-style properties elsewhere in this list, since a pool and some on-site dining make a much bigger difference over several days.
- ✓Book directly with the property if possible, since small pensions like this often have limited online availability.
- ✓Bring your own snacks and drinks, since there is no restaurant or bar on site to rely on.
- ✓Confirm check-in hours ahead of arrival, as smaller guesthouses can have narrower reception windows.

Why guests love itPension Alvarez did exactly what we needed for a two-night stopover before flying home: a clean, simple room within easy reach of Aqualand Maspalomas, at a fraction of the resort rates nearby. It is not the choice for a full week with children, since there is no pool or restaurant, but for a short, budget-focused trip it delivered without any surprises.
