Hotel LIVVO Dunagolf Suites

"Without doubt the most pleasing surprise we have had on a holiday. Hadn't intended to holiday this year due to other financial priorities but decided last minute ti do a 'cheaper' holiday and Dunagolf fitted the bill. The outstanding positive of the place is the grounds. A lovely pool area, catering best to young families and couples, was fully surrounded by circles of bungalows lined with a superb collection of trees and shrubs. Each bungalow has a terrace area with some also having a side or roof terrace. In the middle of each circle of bungalows there are day beds and sofa's which mean that in addition to the pool area you will never be stuck for somewhere to sunbathe. The place is also immaculately clean. The bungalows themselves are clean, comfortable and light. Seen some reviews mention ants which indeed there were some but these are the smallest ants you will ever see and you just need to ensure food isn't left out. We stayed self catering so can't comment on the breakfast/buffet lunch/dinner. However we did eat at the pool bar which was reasonable and I would suggest the pizzas are the best option. The bar prices are incredibly good with beers, cokes etc costing about €2 each. While not a concern for us as we never made anything more than a sandwich, you could not really call the bungalows self catering as the only facilities available are a small fridge, tiny sink and a microwave. There are not even any bowls and we had to buy paper bowls for our breakfast. Reception area, gym, games areas, public toilets are all nice and only thing missing for us was a shop. Location wise you need to be prepared to either get a taxi everywhere or do a lot of walking. There is a small supermarket about 5-10 mins walk out of the estate but beyond that everything is realistically a taxi journey. That said for about €6 you can be anywhere within Maspalomas, Ingles or Meloneras within 5 minutes of asking receptionfor a taxi. If eating out and nice places to drink are your priority I would definitely spend your nights in the more sophisticated (and expensive) Meloneras where you also get the best sunset experience. A little side note but potentially an additional plus point is the lack of fellow Brits and Germans staying at Dunagolf. The majority of guests appeared to be Spanish and interestingly many had dogs with them. Please note the dogs caused no issues but you should bear it in mind if you have anybody who might be scared/ allergic. In review, a fantastic friendly,comfortable place offering very good value. If we don't come back it will only be because the resort probably doesn't offer enough."

"We stayed here for a week in January. The check-in was pretty smooth and quick, and we were soon in the Bungalow. We had one of the bungalows facing the tee of one of the holes close to the road leading in to the hotel. The bongalow was pretty neat with a nice living space with a couch, TV, desk and a small "kitchen" with a microwave and a small fridge. The batroom was spacious and very nice. The same goes for the bedroom. It is clear that these bungalows were refurbished quite recently. We really enjoyed the hotel area in general. The pool area is pretty nice, but could be a little bit cleaner as there are a lot of birds around, and especially around the restaurant area. Also the pool was very cold, it was definitely not warmed up as it said it was going to be on the website. The hotel has a gym, but it is quite bad with old and limited equipment. We did however enjoy the table tennis where you can borrow free rackets and balls from the reception. The hotel is also within walking distance to a small supermarket, and the golf course. We were at the golf course mulitple times, and I can greatly reccomend the food at the golf course restaurant. This leads me to the reason why we ate at the golf course a lot. The hotels restaurant is very bad, at least for dinner service. It is a buffet, and therefore we didn't really excpect much in the first place, but we were still shocked. The food was really dry and tasteless. It really felt like leftovers from the week before. We also had a glass of white wine from the bar that tasted like gasoline. It was almost comical sitting in the brightly lit restaurant eating old food and drinking gasoline :) The breakfast is much better, and is at least edible. I would say that the breakfast is a bit below avarage, but still miles better than dinner. It is definitely a viable option, and we ate the breakfast every day. The day we left we were able to enjoy the pool after having checked out which was really nice. We also got to store our luggage in a luggage room. All in all the hotel is decent if you eat dinner somewhere else. We enjoyed our stay, and are actually going back there in a week."

"Excellent location. Rooms were clean, staff very helpful and friendly, both the the gym and outdoor facility was excellent. We had an all inclusive and the food was always excellent. All together a great experience (we were a group of 20 people, we were all very happy) Highly recommended"
