Radisson Blu Mogan: Your Dream Gran Canaria Escape Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercup, because we're diving headfirst into the Radisson Blu Mogan and, let me tell you, it's a rollercoaster. It's not perfect, no place is, but it’s aiming for the stars and mostly hitting them. This isn't just a review; it's your insider's guide to paradise…or, well, a damn good vacation at least.
The Gran Canaria Dream: Accessibility, Comfort & Curb Appeal
Let's get the nitty-gritty out of the way first: Accessibility. Now, I’m not a wheelchair user, but I ALWAYS appreciate a hotel that thinks about everyone. And the Radisson Blu Mogan? They're trying. The elevators are certainly there and I even spotted ramps throughout the public areas. This is a big plus. I did notice some areas, especially around the pool and maybe the more remote corners of the property that weren't quite as 'easy breezy' as I'd hoped, but overall, it's more inclusive than most. And that counts, you know?
On-site accessible restaurants / lounges: Another big tick! Places to eat and drink with good access. This is crucial, especially when you're trying to relax.
Rooms: Paradise Found… Mostly!
Okay, let's talk rooms. The phrase "Available in all rooms" gets me going, and this hotel is no exception. Expect the basics and a whole lot more:
- Air conditioning: God bless. You'll need it.
- Free Wi-Fi: YES! Don't you hate paying for internet in this day and age?
- Coffee/Tea maker: Essential for the mornings, and the afternoons and evenings.
- Bathtub, Shower: Both are available, and a great idea.
- Blackout curtains: They're a lifesaver, trust me.
The room itself was clean, well-maintained, and the bed? Like sleeping on a cloud. The internet was strong, too - critical for streaming that show you've been meaning to watch. I heard my neighbor's TV blasting through the wall, and that's not ideal, but hey, it's a hotel, it happens.
I loved my room, but the real treasure was the view outside. I opted for a room with a balcony: worth every penny! Watching the sun set over the sea with a glass of wine? Pure bliss!
Wellness & Relaxation: Spa-tacular!
Right, let's get to the juicy stuff: the Spa. Oh, the spa! Okay, so the Fitness center is there, but I'm on vacation, so… no comment. But the Spa, the Sauna, the Pool with a View, the Steamroom… It's heavenly. I booked a massage. It was incredible. Pure bliss. I'm still dreaming about it.
I was also excited by the Foot bath, and the Body scrub. I didn't go for a Body wrap, I don't think I trust that.
Dining & Drinking: A Feast for the Senses
Now, I love to eat, and here, again, the Radisson delivers. The Breakfast [buffet] is an absolute MUST. Bacon, eggs, pastries, fresh fruits… everything you could possibly want. I was in heaven. Okay, the Coffee wasn't the best, but nothing is perfect, right? I can't fault them for that, but they had a Coffee shop.
- Restaurants: Plenty of options. The International cuisine restaurant was excellent, the Asian cuisine restaurant delivered, and I even saw a Vegetarian restaurant option (although I didn’t try it myself).
- Bars: There's an excellent Poolside bar, serving up cocktails and snacks all day long. And a Happy hour? Yes, please!
Safety & Cleanliness: Feeling Safe
Let's be honest, the world feels a bit weird right now. So, how's the Radisson Blu in terms of Cleanliness and safety? Overall, I felt really good. The hotel has stepped up their game.
- Hand sanitizer everywhere.
- Daily disinfection in common areas.
- Staff were wearing masks and were very friendly.
- Rooms sanitized between stays.
And the best part? Physical distancing, and the hotel actively encourages it. This made me feel genuinely safe and able to relax.
The Little Things & Quirks
Now, here are the random little things that made the stay special:
- Gift/souvenir shop: Perfect for picking up last-minute gifts (or a treat for yourself!).
- Concierge: Super helpful with recommendations and bookings.
- Luggage storage: Convenient and stress-free.
- Cash withdrawal: Not a problem, easy to find.
- Car park [free of charge]. Amazing!
The "Meh" Moments (And the Things They Could Improve)
- I did experience a bit of a wait at check-in.
- I didn't use the Babysitting service.
- The Soundproof rooms weren't completely soundproof.
Final Verdict? Radisson Blu Mogan: A Dream Gran Canaria Escape - Yes, Please!
Look, the Radisson Blu Mogan isn't perfect. But it's a fantastic hotel with amazing facilities, great food, and a genuine commitment to making your stay relaxing and enjoyable. The location is stunning, the rooms are comfortable, and the spa is pure bliss. It’s a great base for exploring Gran Canaria, but honestly, you might just want to stay put and soak up the sun, the pool with a view, and the incredible service.
My Score? 4.5 out of 5 stars. Would I go back? Absolutely!

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly-polished travel brochure itinerary. This is… my Radisson Blu in Gran Canaria itinerary. Think more "slightly sunburnt tourist rambling about cocktails" and less "precision-engineered travel plan."
Day 1: Arrival, Ocean Blues & Questionable Swimwear Decisions
- Morning (8:00 AM): Ugh, airport. Hated it. Delayed flight (surprise!), so I'm already in a foul mood. Finally land in Gran Canaria. Breathe in that salty air – okay, getting better. Shuttle bus drama, felt I was the only one getting lost by the driver.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): Arrive at the Radisson Blu. Stunning views? Yes. Immediate emotional reaction: relief. Check-in: smooth (thank the travel gods!). The room? Gorgeous. Balcony? Even better. Ocean view? Sold. My face is permanently glued to that balcony for the next hour.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Lunch at the pool bar. Ordered a "healthy" salad. Let's be honest, it was mostly lettuce. Cocktails are mandatory. Started with a mojito. Then another. Suddenly, I'm feeling much better about life.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): The swimwear. This is crucial. I packed so many options and still, I’m not sure I look right in anything. Decided to brave the pool anyway. Jumped in, shrieking (cold!). Realized I forgot my waterproof mascara. A minor crisis. My first swim was cut short.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner at the hotel restaurant, Limon (or was it Lime? Who cares, I’m starving). Amazing view of the sunset. Ate too much. Wine. Lots of wine. Conversed with a couple from Manchester about the price of beer. Overheard a proposal. Damn you, romance. Emotional reaction: Happy.
- Evening (9:00 PM): Stumbled my way to the bar. More cocktails. Karaoke started. Never karaoke. Avoided the stage. Saw a very enthusiastic Swedish man singing ABBA. This is living.
Day 2: Mogan Magic (or, Why I Might Need a Map)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Hangovers are beautiful, aren't they? Regretted all the decisions. Crawled to the breakfast buffet. Food was okay - but not enough to make a difference.
- Morning (11:00 AM): Decided to be adventurous, despite my throbbing head. Venture out to Puerto de Mogan. The brochure lies about it being a "short walk". Found a taxi. Disaster Averted.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): Puerto de Mogan. Wow. Stunning! The little canals, the colorful buildings… Honestly, the picture-postcard perfection is almost too much. Got lost. Twice. Asked for directions from a very patient local.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Seafood lunch by the harbor. Grilled octopus. Delicious! Sangria. More delicious. Emotional reaction: pure bliss.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): Browse the shops. Bought a genuinely hideous souvenir (a ceramic donkey). Regretted it immediately.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): Beach time. Sun. Sand. Read a book for approximately five minutes before getting distracted by a flock of seagulls.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Back to the hotel. Showered. Changed. Contemplated ordering room service and staying in. Decided against it. Braved the hotel bar. Saw the Swedish man again. He was singing again.
- Evening (9:00 PM): Dinner at Limon (it was Limon!). Ate again! More wine. More sunset. Maybe I'm starting to like Gran Canaria.
Day 3: Spa Day & Inner Peace (or Just a Really Good Massage)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Early wake-up! Booked a spa treatment! I’m the most mature, spa-going person ever.
- Morning (9:00 AM): Breakfast. Okay, feeling less like roadkill now. The coffee is good. That's all that matters.
- Morning (10:00 AM): SPA TIME! Got a massage. My shoulders are usually knotted tighter than the Gordian Knot, but I came out feeling like a limp noodle. Pure, unadulterated, bliss. I nearly fell asleep during the treatment.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lounged by the pool. Ordered another cocktail. This is officially a pattern. Thought about attempting a swim but decided to remain in my happy sun-drenched bubble.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): Read. Slept. Repeat. Feeling absolutely shattered but in the best possible way. Not sure if I could find the enthusiasm to do anything at all.
- Evening (6:00 PM): Tried the hotel's other restaurant, La Cocina. Didn't feel like eating. Ordered bread and olives instead.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Watched the sunset. Beautiful.
- Evening (8:00 PM): Bar. Cocktails.
- Evening (9:00 PM): Karaoke. I sang this time! The Swedish man was impressed. Slightly mortified but it's a good story.
Day 4: Departure & The Post-Holiday Blues (Goodbye, Sun…)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Packing. Can't believe it's over already.
- Morning (9:00 AM): Last breakfast. Tears almost.
- Morning (10:00 AM): Final swim. Jumped in. Cold.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): Check-out. Hugged the receptionist. Maybe I'll bring her back home.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Goodbye, Radisson Blu. Goodbye, sun. Goodbye, sanity.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Airport. Delay. Surprise.
- Evening (6:00 PM): Plane.
- Evening (10:00 PM): Home. Cold. Depressed. Counting the days until I can return. Emotional reaction: Heartbreak. Longing. And a deep, abiding love for cheap, ceramic donkeys.
So, there you have it. My imperfect, messy, utterly human account of a trip to the Radisson Blu. Hopefully, you found it more entertaining than a perfectly-curated Instagram feed. Now, excuse me while I go book another flight.

Radisson Blu Mogan: Your Dream Gran Canaria Escape...Or Is It? Let's Be Honest.
Okay, spill the beans. Is the Radisson Blu Mogan *actually* as gorgeous as the pictures?
Alright, alright, let's get real. The photos? They're… good. VERY good. Like, professionally-shot-making-me-wonder-if-they-used-filters-on-the-sun-itself good. Is it breathtaking? Yeah, pretty much. The views from the infinity pool over the marina? Stunning. The architecture is clean, modern, and really *does* feel like a luxury escape. But I'm not gonna lie, my arrival? A bit less glamorous. Dragged my suitcase (which has seen better days, let's be honest) across the perfectly polished lobby floor, nearly tripping over a ridiculously chic potted palm. So, visually, it's a win. But reality? You're still lugging your luggage. And sometimes, a slight wobble is your best friend – it keeps you grounded, you know?
What's the deal with the location? Is Puerto de Mogán *really* that charming?
Oh, Puerto de Mogán. "Little Venice," they call it. And yeah, it's *almost* as picturesque. Think canals, colorful buildings, boats bobbing gently… it's got serious charm. I mean, I spent a good hour just wandering around, feeling like I was in a postcard. However... there *is* a bit of a tourist trap vibe, let's be frank. Every other shop sells the same generic souvenirs. Finding a genuinely good, local restaurant that isn't packed with other tourists? A mini-quest! But, the beach is lovely, the sea is crystal clear, and the sunsets? Worth battling the crowds for. Honestly? I'd go back just for the sunsets. I'm a sucker for a good sunset.
Let's talk food. Is the Radisson Blu Mogan's dining any good?
Okay, the food... This is where things get a little… complicated. The breakfast buffet? Glorious. So much choice! Pancakes, omelets made to order, fresh fruit, pastries that practically *beg* you to eat them… Honestly, I’d probably go just for the breakfast. Lunch at the pool bar? Perfectly acceptable. Good salads, decent sandwiches. Dinner, though… I had one truly *amazing* meal in their a-la-carte restaurant, but another time? A bit… meh. Like, I definitely had a plate of pasta that tasted suspiciously like it had come from a very fancy tin. And for the price? Ouch. It’s a gamble, basically. Best bet? Stick to the buffet for dinner the first night, get your bearings, and then decide if you want to risk it. And definitely, *definitely* try the local restaurants in Mogán. You'll thank me.
What about the rooms? Are they as spacious and luxurious as they look?
Generally, yes! The rooms are really lovely. Modern design, comfortable beds, a balcony with a great view... I felt properly pampered, which is what I needed! The bathroom was spacious, even the hairdryer was decent (always a win!). However... I had some major room envy! I peaked into a suite that had a private plunge pool. *Plunge pool!* And I'm over here with a standard balcony. So, the rooms are great, but remember, location, location, location! The higher you go up the better the view and the more amazing room you'll get.
Okay, the pool situation. Tell me EVERYTHING.
The pools... Oh, the pools. The infinity pool overlooking the marina is the Instagram star, obviously. And it's as good as it looks. Seriously, spend at least one afternoon there, drink in hand, just *being*. Paradise. The other pools? Equally lovely. One's heated, which is a lifesaver on a cooler day. There's also a kid's pool and a jacuzzi. Overall? The pool situation is a major selling point. And the service around the pool? They're always around, so you won't be left wanting! Get that smoothie ordered! But here’s the kicker...One day, a seagull, with the audacity of a seasoned pickpocket, decided MY unattended slice of pizza was its next meal! It swooped down with shocking precision, grabbed the pizza, and went off into the sunset. I swear I nearly had a heart attack. I was so shocked, so embarrassed that I hadn't saved my pizza in time... But also, unbelievably amused. The staff were mortified, comped me a new slice, with the addition of a glass of wine, which I am always thankful! A word to wise - watch your pizza!
Is this place kid-friendly?
Yes, absolutely. They have a kids' pool, a kids' club, and a playground. I saw plenty of families having a blast. So, if you're traveling with kids, it's a great choice. Just prepare for... children. (Some of whom, I must confess, were making far more noise than my own internal monologue).
What about spa and relaxation? Is it worth it?
Oh, the spa. Yes, a resounding YES. I splurged on a massage, and it was *heaven*. Totally worth it. The whole spa area is calm and serene, and the therapists are professional and skilled. Seriously, book a treatment. You'll leave feeling like a new person. It's a crucial part of a truly relaxing experience!
What are the main downsides?
Okay, real talk. The prices. It's not a budget hotel, let's face it. Drinks at the pool bar? Ouch. The food can be hit-or-miss. And, as I mentioned, the walk to the shops and restaurants in Mogán… it's pleasant, but it's not exactly a secret shortcut. And that pizza incident? Still stings a little. The occasional tourist hordes can be overwhelming. And, most importantly, it's hard to go home after. Seriously.
Would you go back?
Definitely. Despite the minor imperfections (and the pizza!), the Radisson Blu Mogan is a fantastic hotel. The positives outweigh the negatives by a mile. The views, the pools, the spa, the general feeling of luxury... it's a great escape. I'd probablyBlog Hotel Search Site
