If you are looking for a great resort hotel that pampers and caters to your every desire, Gloria Palace San Agustín has a brilliant baths and spa complex, regular activities and entertainment, and a great pool, all with a commanding cliff top setting. Situated just a couple of kilometers west of Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas, you are nicely removed from the crowds of tourists that can inundate the area in high season, and well-located for exploring the south of the island and its many picturesque towns and natural attractions - such as the dunes at Maspalomas. This hotel, however, is ideal for people who just want to relax by the pool, sunbathe, and enjoy the varied evening entertainment.

Hotel Gloria San Agustin's rooms are large and comfortable and the vast majority has sea views. There are two restaurants, an air-conditioned buffet-style restaurant with a large terrace, and the à-la-carte Gorbea, specializing in Basque food, a predominantly seafood cuisine considered to be the best in Spain. For lunch there are two bars, the pool bar, and a larger bar near the entertainment area with a good choice of meat, fish and salad dishes at reasonable prices. There are two swimming pools for adults as well as one for the kids in the gardens. The sundeck has plenty of free loungers and sun umbrellas; you can grab a towel free-of-charge before entering. On the top floor, there's a sundeck and pool for nude sunbathers. Children will be more than happy with the club, and there are mini-discos for them after dinner. Finally, the spa complex has to be seen to be believed. There are no less than 33 water-massage booths, and a relaxation area with sea views. Unsurprisingly, it is popular with local people who come expressly for the treatments.

Hotel Gloria Palace San Agustín is about a ten-minute walk from San Agustín beach. There is also a casino within walking distance with regular shows. If you have a car, then you can tour the south and interior of the island by taking the coastal road which passes by the hotel and leads west through Maspalomas, Arguineguín, and onwards towards Mogán and San Bartolomé de Tirajana.
