What guests think

Across reviews of Axel Beach Maspalomas - Adults Only, guests praise friendly staff, a central location near the Yumbo Centre, and spacious apartment-style rooms, while noting dated decor, occasional maintenance issues, and prices that can feel high for the experience.

The pool area and social vibe are enjoyed by many, though the pool is unheated, sometimes closes early or for maintenance, and music or parties can make afternoons lively rather than quiet. Housekeeping is widely appreciated, but a few guests reported odors, occasional pests, or worn linens. Breakfast generally earns positive comments and the pool bar offers decent value, though some found the cooked items average and the bar closes early. This suits travelers seeking a sociable base near nightlife more than those prioritizing sleek finishes or absolute quiet.

Great hotel, mainly catering to LGBTQ+ travellers, but as they say, they are hetero friendly too. Breakfast is always excellent. A good sized pool with a jacuzzi on the side. Slightly let down by the hotel bar shutting at 18:00, but I guess it made sense with Yumbo just round the corner where all the nice bars are in Playa del Inglés. Would love to stay again.

The staff was great. Rooms were cleaned daily and sheets and towels changed out. All my friends and I were on first floor of rooms and they all smelled like a sewage back-up. The pool was large but not heated so too cold to use. Due to the positioning, the pool deck did not get any sunlight after 1pm

Staff very friendly. Pool area is nice. Gym needs new equipment, but luckily there is a nearby gym. Room was okay. Kitchen had no electrical outlets, no bowls, and the fridge is packed with a mini bar, so there is almost no room if you want to purchase something for later. The bed was two twin beds pushed together. The shower was great. It is close to the bars and nightlife.

Easy and convenient stay close to Yumbo Centrum, with many choices nearby for shopping and dining. Staff and service was excellent, especially Alfonso and Kevin. Pool parties on Saturdays and Wednesdays were so fun with DJ Lucky and the Balinese beds are worth reserving with either a drink or food package. Great atmosphere and location!

The hotel is pretty old and expensive for what you get. The pool closes at 7 pm even during summer when weather is pretty hot. You are charged for everything even cofee at your room. No ambiance or activities during evenings.

What a great stay! From the moment I arrived, the reception team made me feel genuinely welcome – friendly, attentive, and happy to accommodate my requests, which set a positive tone for the entire visit. The room was spotlessly clean, and the housekeeping staff did an excellent job while being wonderfully discreet. Special mention goes to the SkyBar team – their friendliness, helpfulness, and upbeat energy really stood out and added to the relaxed atmosphere throughout the hotel. The fitness room was well-maintained, and the location is perfect. The night reception staff also deserves credit for being consistently pleasant, even during late hours. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. I’d happily return! ¡Qué estancia tan agradable! Desde el momento en que llegué, el equipo de recepción me hizo sentir realmente bienvenido: amables, atentos y dispuestos a atender mis peticiones, lo que marcó un tono positivo para toda la visita. La habitación estaba impecablemente limpia y el personal de limpieza hizo un trabajo excelente siendo muy discreto. Mención especial merece el equipo del SkyBar: su amabilidad, disposición a ayudar y energía positiva realmente destacaron y contribuyeron al ambiente relajado de todo el hotel. El gimnasio estaba bien cuidado y la ubicación es perfecta. El personal de recepción nocturna también merece reconocimiento por ser siempre amable, incluso en horas tardías.

The hotel has good bones and although the photos are realistic they were taken years ago and don’t account for the wear and tear over time. The entire property could use a makeover. Nevertheless, it was a good location, quiet for the most part but this could be because the hotel wasn’t full. The cleaning was done daily however it was substandard. There’s a coffee maker which brews cold coffee and no kettle to heat up water. The bed was relatively comfortable but the sofa was not. It’s cheap material that sticks to your body. The pool was great but jacuzzi is cold. It’s a “gay” hotel that is heterofriendly so do expect some straight couples amongst the men. I wouldn’t book this hotel again but I also wouldn’t return to Maspalomas as it’s pretty dead and mostly inhabited by people over 60. We barely saw any young people, it was quite depressing. Most shops and restaurants are closed or empty and the food quality is lacking and bland.

Meget venligt personale - men hotellet er slidt! Værelserne blev dagligt rengjort - eller dvs. det måske mest var en omgang duftspray der blev sprøjtet ud i værelset. Det var så intenst, at vinduerne skulle være åbne, for ikke at give hovedpine. Fandt døde kakerlakker på altanen - og levende ved opgangen. Det var desværre ikke den hotel-oplevelse jeg havde håbet på.

The places certainly overcharges for what it is. The staff are friendly enough but the place is kind of a dump. Air conditioners that smell like mould (they probably all need to be thoroughly serviced). But I did like that the rooms all have a fridge and table etc. There was a massive sewage issue during my stay and the bottom floors reeked with faeces and it eminated throughout the entire hotel. Not even a sorry, yet alone an alcoholic beverage for the issue and my risk of inhaling potential pathogens. Given their blasé nature about this leads me to believe this happens often at this hotel. If I was to return to Maspalomas I’d probably stay somewhere else.

Rooms

Spacious apartment-style units with kitchenettes and balconies are a highlight, but decor is dated and several reviews mention maintenance issues (AC, plumbing, hot water) and limited kitchen equipment or minibars crowding the fridge. Street-side rooms can be noisy and some find interiors too dark.

Conveniently located about 7 min walk to Yumbro. The room had nice touches with complimentary toiletries and coffee machine and some water n snacks which can be purchased and charged on check-out. The rooms are very dark with wall lights, maybe intentionally. There is Aircon in the living area, not the bedroom, which was annoying as i stayed during a hot period. The shower can be scalding hot - so set your temperature with care. My main issue was the flies in my room which were annoying, but probably just seasonal issue. Overall good, but at economy/budget end of the nark.

Midrange hotel but looking dated. Property and room need a little love. For example in room 124 the paint was peeling off of the bathroom ceiling and the towel hanger was unusable and hanging off the wall. The rooms are basic and functional with a 90’s/2000’s vibe. Location is excellent and the staff were nice for the brief interactions I had with them.

First time in GC and first time in a gay hotel and I think Axel was a great choice. Staff have been very friendly and helpful, good amount of amenities and clean areas. What was really impressive was how spacious the rooms are, you have a separate living room area and large bathrooms. I think the most important piece of advice I can give to someone is that the sun is facing the opposite way in late afternoon so you can’t sunbathe at the pool after a certain time. There are lounges in other areas but it’s not the same sadly.

AC making an impossible noise, impossible to use. As we arrived late we slept with AC off. Following day they tried to fix the AC and did not work. They changed room and AC was working OK but with bad smell. As I'm an DIY person I removed the filter and it was completly dirty, I washed in the shower. Property is OK, but it is not a real Axel, I would not come back as the price is higher as others in the area but it is not that good.

Pleasant stay at Axel again as the price was decent this time. Rooms are spacious but fairly standard and a bit too dark. Shower head upgrade is welcomed! Nice big bed. Staff are always lovely and friendly. When the pool is busy there’s not enough staff for the bar so service is slow. Not the staff fault but managers need to improve that esp when people are paying extra for the luxury bed. We stayed road side this time and actually was ok not as noisy as I thought.

When we checked into our room, the air conditioning was broken and the room was hot and smelly. The hotel was not able to send anyone to fix it, and said they didn’t have any other rooms available to move us to (which doesn’t make sense because we could see availability at the hotel for that same night when we searched online). The conditions were really uncomfortable so we could not stay there. We requested a refund from the hotel but they refused as we had already ‘checked in’. So we ended up booking another hotel nearby and paying out of pocket since Axel wouldn’t refund us for that first night. The hotel was not very helpful or responsive. I’m sure they could’ve easily refunded us or switched to another room but didn’t. Horrible experience and we will never make the mistake of booking there again!

From the moment we arrived the one thing that stuck out was the staff. They all make you feel welcome. They are all so proud to work there and its like a family. Ive never been anywhere where the staff have been like this. The room was great. Seperate bedroom area If you need iron and board simply ask at reception Nice pool area quiet in the week but bbq with pool dj on saturday. Most flights tend to be late but checkout was good. Somewhere safe to store baggage and use of all poolside including indoor shower to prepare for journey home I can't recommend this hotel more highly The only thing that wasnt to our taste was the breakfast. Well the cooked sude of it. The bacon was plasticy and the potatoe hash brown inedible as were like cardboard The rest of the breakfast however was great and good choice of fresh fruit cold meats cheese and much more

This is primarily a gay hotel but all are welcome. That said, the large mural showing a line of buffed and handsome men in swimming trunks was not quite what we saw lying around the pool, but perhaps they come in the summer. The room we had was a nice size, with a lounge with kitchenette if you want to rustle up some food. The breakfast was great, the staff really friendly and helpful, it's located a few hundred metres from the Yumbo Centre, and it's a short walk from the various bus stops for trips to Maspalomas and other towns around the island. The bar - at least in January - closed by 6 but there's a well-stocked minibar if you get desperate. Get a room pool-side as the main road on the street side is very noisy in the daytime. If you book directly you might have a better chance of getting one. The only criticism is that the rooms are a little scruffy in places, clean but clearly a bit dated. We'd go there again.
