The catch at Lopesan Villa del Conde Resort & Thalasso

There are 561 rooms in ten interconnected buildings, and six outdoor pools with almost 4,000 m² of water between them: Tambor, the big freshwater pool at the centre; El Crucero, a 526 m² saltwater pool by the promenade; Relax, for adults only; Arenal and a shallow pool for children; and the small Arcos. The hotel also sells day passes to visitors, from €50 a person with lunch. Sunbeds, parasols and pool towels come with every room, but the loungers by the pools are claimed early and often held for hours with towels, a complaint that recurs through 2026. An entertainment team runs a daily programme with a Mini Club and evening shows, and Tambor, at the heart of the resort, is the lively pool.

A garden gate opens onto the Paseo de las Meloneras, the seafront promenade. Directly below is Playa de las Mujeres, pebbles, gravel and dark sand, about 520 m long and 25 m wide. Playa de Meloneras, 7 minutes north-west of the gate on foot, has pebbles, gravel and golden sand over 283 m, loungers and parasols for hire and a Red Cross post; Las Mujeres has neither. The long golden beach of Playa de Maspalomas, with the Charca lagoon and the Dunas de Maspalomas nature reserve behind it, starts at the lighthouse, 1.2 km and 17 minutes east along the promenade from the gate.

Villa del Conde opened in 2004, and rooms and pools that show their twenty-odd years are a recurring complaint among guests in 2026. In March 2026, setting out its plans at ITB Berlin, Lopesan listed a full renovation of the hotel, a renovación integral, without dates or scope. In January 2024 the group also said it would add an annex of about 128 rooms to this hotel, and its new 956-room family resort with a water park in Meloneras is under way, on a site it has not named. Work on or near the resort in 2026 or 2027 is possible, and no published plan says where or when.

Unique by Lopesan, the hotel's club, is sold by room category: the Junior Suites, the Double Deluxe View rooms and the three suites above them. It brings a breakfast in its own area, reserved loungers in a separate pool area, a VIP lounge with drinks and snacks, check-in at a desk of its own and one thalasso circuit per person per stay. In the four Double Standard categories none of that is in the rate, Balinese beds are a Unique service, and the Om Thalasso circuit, three hours of seawater pools, sauna and steam, costs €40 per person for hotel guests, booked a day ahead, between 11:00 and 19:00.

The cheapest room with breakfast, one night for two, was €198 on Tuesday 8 June 2027 and €207 on 11 May. On 12 January 2027 it was €266, on 16 February €288, on 23 March, in Holy Week, €295, and on 17 November 2026 €309. Christmas and New Year sit above that: a week from 22 December 2026 cost €2,964, about €423 a night, and from 29 December a single night was not on sale, while four nights cost €2,122, about €530 a night. On 25 and 31 December half board means the hotel's gala dinners, with no dining at the sister hotels.
