Visiting Maspalomas- October 2024

[fucknfeedme]

Looking for suggestions on where to stay.  I won't have car so want to be close to the bars, clubs and restaurants.  I appreciate any feedback you guys can give.

If you want walking distance then you need to stay close to the Yumbo, where all the bars and clubs are. Reds and Zoo are in short walking distance around the corner.

You may want to google gay resorts in Playa del Ingles. A few are very close: Basement Studios (across the street, only 6 bungalows, mostly mature crowd, cuising area). Paso Chico (also small, across the street), Tropical La Zona (5-10 mins walk? Haven't been there. Cruising area). There are a few others across the street of which I don't know the name. Further away: a taxi drive will cost you around €4.00. At least that was it when I took a taxi last time.

There are no specific gay hotels to my knowledge but gay guys stay pretty much at all 'regular' hotels that are located around the Yumbo. I think on booking.com Yumbo is even a filter selection criterium 😉 But others who have been there recently can give you better advice. I stayed at Play del Sol which has a backdoor that leads to Yumbo but it's a pretty basic Aparthotel. Advantage is it has a kitchenette (fridge).

I'm so excited.  Love to be a pig and sounds like this is the right place.  Probably go after Fetish week ends.

In all honesty, you will need to re-consider the definition of being a pig after a trip to GC or Berlin

I mentioned where I stayed last time (Playa del Sol) but are there any other hotels with a similar very close distance to Yumbo that are good to stay at? I don't mean the gay resorts but general hotels where gay men tend to stay? I know about Neptuno, but are there others? I do prefer aparthotels (own cooking facilities) but not necessarily.

I stayed at the Buenos Aires for a few days last time was in GC- it was fine: nothing special, but is an aparthotel with basic cooking facilities.

Axel Hotel is pretty much THE gay hotel, but there are lots of clothing optional gay complexes. Los Almendros is an old favourite.

I loved Maspalomas, I can't imagine you not having a good time.  While I was there, the nightlife was rather tame. I hear now things have changed.  Beautiful beaches, very hot men, very friendly local store owners.  I think I got laid every night while I was there....

There are a lot of bungalow Parks where they are gayfriendly.  Gay bungalow tend to be very expensive, mostly overpriced compaired to equal quality other Parks.  There is a good range of gay friendly hotels and bungalows or appartements to Rent.
