If you’re looking for a quiet escape in the Canary Islands, this hotel review Gran Canaria is for you. We recently stayed at the wonderful H10 Costa Mogan, an adults-only hotel in Playa del Cura. After just a few hours, it was clear: this trip that we took with Jet2 would be special.
First Impressions and a Warm Welcome
The check-in experience set the tone for our stay. We were welcomed with a glass of bubbles and broad smiles. The luxe large entrance, surrounded by palm trees and soaring cliffs, felt inviting and tranquil. It was immediately evident that this was a place made for relaxation – something that has become desperately needed after a very hectic start to the year.
From the terrace we could see the ocean, glass-bottom boats, and speedboats heading out for dolphin watching. The setting felt peaceful but full of life. It was easy to settle in – it’s truly beautiful.
Our Room: Modern and Comfortable
The room was modern, spacious, stylish, and very clean. It included a king-sized bed, walk-in shower, fast Wi-Fi, a coffee pod machine, and a balcony with sea and pool views. The soft colour scheme helped create a calm and soothing atmosphere.
After each evening’s entertainment came to a close (hosted in M10’s Mogán Lounge Bar from around 9pm-midnight – always a fun time :), we slept soundly. The room was blissfully quiet, the bed was excellent, and the blackout curtains worked perfectly. For a good night’s rest, it really delivered.
Facilities and Activities: Thoughtful Touches Everywhere
The main pool area was one of our favourite spots. There are plenty of loungers, shady areas for when you need a break from the sun, and a relaxed, adults-only vibe. The bar serves drinks and snacks and as we had our handy all-inclusive wristband on, we could access whatever we wanted at any time.
Pool towels are available to borrow at the mini market on site. It also sells lovely gifts, resort wear and basics. On my first day I couldn’t help but buy a beautiful silk sarong and pink bikini: my last purchase like this was a few years ago, so I just went for it!
If you like, you can hire a lovely Bali Bed at H10’s La Riviera Beach Club for €35 per day. In April it wasn’t busy enough for us to consider this, but in the height of summer it could be a good option to guarantee a good place for yourself for the day.
There’s also a small gym, a wellness centre, and free daily classes like Yoga, Pilates and aqua aerobics. These sessions made a big difference to how we felt, and were all hosted by lively, engaging ‘Entertainment Managers’. They helped us reset both physically (needed after our buffet visits!) and mentally. It’s the kind of wellness travel that sneaks up on you – in the best way.
Dining: Excellent Food and Generous Service
Speaking of buffets… we went all-inclusive and were glad we did. The buffet was generous and very high-quality, with lots of fresh salads, fish, grilled vegetables, and desserts. Each meal was different enough to keep things interesting.
The drink service was generous, and the cocktails were well made. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Dining here felt calm and comfortable, not rushed or loud.
On the Friday evening, a wonderful saxophonist played while we dined creating a wonderful ambiance in an already sublime setting.
The hotel is well equipped with multiple entertainment and dining spaces. We also adored the Rooftop Sky Bar on the fifth floor overlooking the beach and vast ocean. A second restaurant is on site too but not included in all-inclusive. We loved our selection so much we didn’t feel the need to branch out, but will visit the Costa Fusion Restaurant next time for sure!
Nearby and Easy to Explore
Although you don’t have to leave the resort, there’s a large Spar supermarket nearby as well as a few local eateries. The Spar turned out to be helpful since I’d forgotten to pack deodorant: that could have ended badly!
If you want to explore, Puerto de Mogán is a short taxi ride away. It’s a beautiful marina town with boutique shops and great seafood restaurants. Find out more about our experience there: read more here.
If you’re searching for hotels in Gran Canaria that offer comfort, calm, and good value, H10 Costa Mogan is a fantastic option.
See More, Do More Gran Canaria
You can of course relax and stay around the hotel for your entire trip, it’s easy to do. We sure didn’t want to leave. However, you can also engage in a wide range of activities that get you around the island. Shopping excursions to the capital of Las Palmas, dolphin watching and glass bottom boat rides, all-day jeep experiences, and food tours abound. All of this can be booked via Jet2 on the ground and at your hotel. Easy done.
Why This Hotel Stands Out
This hotel review Gran Canaria is an honest reflection of a truly easy and relaxing stay. The hotel has thoughtful details, great food, and peaceful surroundings. It’s perfect for couples, solo travellers, or anyone needing to recharge.
Booking with Jet2 made everything easy. From flights to Gran Canaria to smooth transfers and clear communication, we felt supported at every stage.
Our Trip and Disclosure
This trip was part of a content invitation from Jet2holidays. We were invited to share our experience in Gran Canaria with Jet2. Our flights, hotel and transfers were complimentary, but this is not a paid post. All opinions are our own.
Booking Details
Here’s what we did:
- Gran Canaria in April, flying from Stansted Airport in London.
- 4 nights at adults-only accommodation H10 Costa Mogán, arriving Friday evening, departing Tuesday afternoon.
- Flights, transfers and hotel are part of the package. You can add extras including seats, food and drinks for during your flight.
- Our room was facing the beach and ocean: simply sublime.
- We experienced full board which included three amazing restaurant buffet meals a day. Additionally, full board includes an entire menu of drinks available at the Pool Bar, Rooftop Sky Bar, and Mogán Lounge Bar.
- Activities are also on offer at H10 Costa Mogán including Yoga, Pilates, aqua aerobics. And, if dancing is your thing, there’s nightly entertainment. Pack what you will with this advice :)
- Drinking water: we were advised to drink bottled water here. Accounts vary as to whether the island water is drinkable or not. Our tap water didn’t taste too great, so we just filled our bottles up using the facilities provided at the hotel.
