Overview
HL Rondo Hotel in Playa del Ingles is a contemporary 4-star base that pairs a generous pool scene and rooftop-style hot tub terrace with a newly refurbished gym and an easy-going Gran Canaria vibe. With just 103 rooms, it feels manageable in size yet still offers plenty of facilities, including a main restaurant, two bars and a complimentary shuttle to the long sweep of Playa del Ingles beach. It’s a smart choice if you like modern interiors, friendly service and being within walking distance of bars, shops and nightlife.

Map & location
Playa Del Ingles, Gran Canaria, Spain
Playa del Ingles is Gran Canaria’s headline resort, known for its sweeping sandy beach, buzzing nightlife and big-name shopping centres. HL Rondo Hotel sits in a handy spot just behind the main drag, so you’re close to the action without being right on top of it.
You’re a short stroll from local shops, bars and restaurants, with the resort centre around 1km away, and the famous Playa del Ingles beach and neighbouring Maspalomas dunes reachable via a complimentary shuttle bus or on foot if you don’t mind stretching your legs.
- Approx. transfer time from airport 30 Minutes
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Pool days are easy here. The main outdoor freshwater pool comes with a dedicated sunbathing terrace, plenty of loungers and parasols, and free pool towels, so you can travel lighter. In the cooler months, the pool is heated (typically from 1 November to 31 March), which is a real plus for winter-sun escapes.
There’s also an outdoor whirlpool/hot tub area with sunbeds – a favourite for unwinding after a gym session or a day exploring the island.
The golden sands of Playa del Ingles are around 1.7km away. You can walk it in about 20–25 minutes or hop on the complimentary shuttle bus that runs to the beach several times per day.
Spa, sports & wellness
Active guests are well looked after. The refurbished, air-conditioned gym includes:
• Cardio equipment (treadmills, bikes, etc.)
• Free weights and fixed strength machines
• A stretching zone and space for bodyweight work
• Sauna (minimum age 18 years) for post-workout relaxation
For an extra dose of pampering, there’s an on-site hairdresser offering cuts, styling and colour (services payable locally).
Practical touches include a 24-hour style reception area with luggage storage, the ability to hire or charge mobility scooters and wheelchairs, and a shuttle service to the beach.

While HL Rondo Hotel focuses more on relaxation and resort life than full-scale animation, you can expect:
• Gym workouts in the air-conditioned fitness centre

• Poolside lounging with a heated pool in winter season

Food & drink
The main restaurant keeps things flexible with buffet-style dining across breakfast and, depending on your board basis, lunch and dinner. Expect an international mix with local Canarian flavours plus vegetarian options, and handy extras like highchairs and a microwave for families.
A lobby bar provides a relaxed indoor spot for pre- or post-dinner drinks, while the pool bar serves refreshments and snacks during the day – ideal for keeping your lounger spot. A chillout-style bar area near the hot tub terrace is perfect for a sundowner.
Dress codes tend to be smart casual (no beachwear in the restaurant or lobby bar), and some à la carte options or premium drinks may carry a supplement or require reservations, depending on your board. Services and opening hours can vary by season.
