Lopesan Baobab Resort is located in Meloneras, adjacent to Maspalomas, approximately a 30 minute drive from the airport. The hotel is ideally positioned next to a scenic seaside promenade featuring an open air shopping area, and the beach is within a pleasant 5–10 minute walk.
This resort is an excellent choice for families and groups of friends. In this hotel you can find everything from everything in one place. The Hotel Designed in an impressive African inspired style, the property creates the atmosphere of a lush tropical oasis.

Things to Consider
– Due to its large size and family friendly environment, the resort can be lively and may not be ideal for guests seeking a quiet or tranquil stay.
– Room rates vary significantly depending on the season; however, Gran Canaria remains a year-round destination, and during the low season, prices are particularly attractive.
– Guests may also benefit from half board or all-inclusive packages at favorable rates.
– Please note that coffee making facilities are not provided in the rooms, and sun loungers by the pools can fill up quickly, making early reservation advisable.
Transparency note: I visited this hotel in person and combined my review with additional research, but did not stay overnight.
