Question 1

Is Maspalomas suitable for families with young children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the area is very family-friendly. The beach is gently shelving, the dune reserve is accessible to older children, and attractions such as Aqualand and Palmitos Park cater specifically to families. Many hotels offer childcare facilities and kid-friendly pools.

Question 2

Can you walk through the Maspalomas Dunes without a guide?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the dune reserve is freely accessible and no guide is required. However, visitors should stick to marked paths, carry water, and be aware that the interior of the reserve has no shade. A guided tour can add ecological and historical context to the experience.

Question 3

What is the best way to get from Gran Canaria Airport to the resort?

Accepted Answer

The airport is approximately 25 kilometres from the resort zone. The Global bus Line 66 provides a direct connection at low cost, with the journey taking around 40 to 50 minutes. Taxis are also readily available and the fare is typically between 30 and 40 euros.

Question 4

Is the area accessible for travellers with reduced mobility?

Accepted Answer

The promenade and main resort areas are largely flat and wheelchair accessible. The beach offers adapted access points with matting at several points along the shore. The dune reserve terrain is more challenging for mobility-impaired visitors, though the edges near the beach are manageable.

Question 5

What currency is used and are credit cards widely accepted?

Accepted Answer

The Euro is the currency used throughout Gran Canaria. Credit and debit cards are accepted in the vast majority of hotels, restaurants, and shops across the resort area. It is advisable to carry some cash for smaller vendors, markets, and bus fares.
