Bliss Hotel Reviews

Overall Rating: 4.2 / 5

Having just returned from a week at the Radisson Blu Resort & Spa in Mogan, I’m excited to share my thoughts on this sleek, modern hotel. It’s a resort that impresses with its contemporary design and fantastic facilities, offering a luxurious base in one of Gran Canaria’s most charming areas.

First Impressions & Location:
The first wow-factor is the architecture. The resort is a stunning example of modern design, all clean lines, white surfaces, and open spaces that frame the brilliant blue of the ocean. It feels more like a boutique luxury hotel than a typical Canarian resort. The location is a mix of pros and cons. It’s perched on a cliffside just outside the beautiful Puerto de Mogan (a 10-15 minute scenic stroll away), meaning you get breathtaking views and a sense of exclusivity. However, this also means the entire property is built on a slope with numerous steps. While there are elevators, it’s something to consider for those with mobility issues. The hotel’s “beach” is a small, charming man-made cove; for a long sandy beach, you’ll need to walk to the main one in the village.

The Grounds & Pools:
The pool complex is arguably the heart of the resort and is absolutely magnificent. A network of interconnected saltwater pools, including a large main pool, a peaceful adults-only section, and a smaller kids pool. The area is surrounded by ample sunbeds and stylish lounging cabanas. The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed. The real highlight for relaxation is the Spa by Clarins—a truly world-class facility with a hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room, and an extensive treatment menu that is worth every penny.

The Room:
We stayed in a Premium Room with Sea View. The room was a highlight—spacious, immaculately clean, and beautifully designed in a minimalist, calming style with a palette of whites and blues. The king-size bed was incredibly comfortable, the private balcony offered a stunning panoramic view, and the bathroom with a rainfall shower felt luxurious. Modern amenities like a smart TV, a coffee machine, and a well-stocked minibar were all present. It was a perfect, serene retreat after a day in the sun.

Food & Drink:
We were on a half-board basis. The main buffet restaurant, Aquarella, offers a good variety of well-prepared food with live cooking stations and themed nights. The quality is solidly high for a buffet. However, the star of the dining experience is the adults-only Roca Coral à la carte restaurant. The Mediterranean cuisine here is exceptional, and the cliffside setting is unforgettable (booking is essential). The Olé Tapas Bar by the pool is perfect for a casual lunch. The only slight drawback is that for a 5-star resort, the number of à la carte options feels a bit limited, which might prompt you to explore the excellent restaurants in Puerto de Mogan.

Service:
Service throughout the hotel was professional, efficient, and generally very friendly. Check-in was smooth, the restaurant and bar staff were attentive, and the room cleaning was impeccable. It met the high standards you expect from a international brand like Radisson Blu, though the sheer size of the resort means it can feel more efficiently corporate than intimately personal.

Final Verdict:
The Radisson Blu Resort & Spa is an excellent choice for couples and families seeking a stylish, modern, and activity-filled holiday. Its stunning rooms, world-class pools, and superb spa make it a destination in itself. While the terrain and limited dining options are points to note, its overall quality, luxurious feel, and proximity to beautiful Puerto de Mogan are major strengths. I would highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates contemporary design and top-tier facilities.
