My husband and I stayed here a week in mid-January, found the buffet meals excellent and the room very adequate. The pools were a bit cool for swimming, but of many activites possible, I enjoyed the Spanish lesson given by Roberto of the Animation Team. The 500 metre walk to the town for meals in one of the many harbour-side restaurants is pleasant but might become samey. If one can get to the centre of the island, Roque Nublo is a must.

Never been to Gran Canaria before so looked at reviews on tripadvisor for places to stay. We wanted a quiet resort and Puerto Mogan seemed to fit the bill - we were right. Then we had to choose accommodation. Looking at the reviews, we really fancied Cordial mogan Playa, but it was outside our price range, so Valle seemed a good 2nd choice. We plumped for B & B and requested an apartment on either floor 6 or 9 as I had read that they had large balconies. As Mogan is the furthest resort from the airport we booked private transfer, which was excellent and only took 30 minutes. Booking in at the hotel was quick and easy, with a glass of complimentary fizz welcome. They has taken note of our request and we were allocated a room on the 6th floor. We were given a photocopy of the map of the hotel with directions how to get to our room as the hotel has many lifts which can be confusing. Although we found our way around very quickly and easily, I can see why it could be difficult, as the signage on the outside of the lifts is hard to understand. The apartment was very spacious with plenty of wardrobe space, but only 3 small drawers - could have done with more for tee shirts etc. Even though there was only 2 of us, the apartment still had separate bedroom which was nice. Kitchen area had good quality crockery and cutlary. We always take our own mugs as we like a decent size cup of tea, and we are glad we did, as the cups are very small. 2 burner hob, microwave, kettle and coffee maker no dishwasher but washing up liquid supplied and sponge/scourer. Sofabed very good - pulled out to 2 separate single beds with proper mattresses. Balcony huge and completely unoverlooked with pull out shades covering half of balcony if required. Some of the apartments had slightly smaller balconies and the ones on the ground floor had very small terraces, some of which were quite overlooked round the pool areas, but ideal for small children. We had shower over the bath, which was perfectly adequate - plenty of hot water. Lighting brilliant in bathroom with wall mounted hairdrier.and 2 sided shaving mirror. As we stayed in January we didn't need the fan on and certainly didn't need aircon, although the sun shone every day and it was beautifully warm. Grounds were immaculately kept and swimming pools exceptionally clean. A couple of cats hung around but were not intrusive. Breakfast was excellent - good variety and well labelled. No poached eggs though (scrambled, fried, boiled and omelettes available). Little tip: if you want a hot breakfast with an omelette , choose your fillings for your omelette first, then give to chef - you can then choose you other items while the omelette is being cooked. There were always tables available, so no waiting in a queue. Other than breakfast we ate out or cooked, so can't comment on other meals. We have only 2 slight complaints: TV only had CNN, BBC world news and Disney Channel in English - not even a music channel or radio. The other, which the hotel can do nothing about, is dog barking. Because the resort is in a valley, the noise echoes, but we soon didn't notice it. All in all I would definitely recommend it, but maybe the hotel and the resort in general would not be ideal for teenagers.

As a well travelled couple in their 50s we had stayed in private apartments in Puerto Mogan previously but were unable to use them on our recent visit and decided to try the Cordial Mogan apartments. We stayed on the 9th floor with a large terrace with sunbeds, shower and dining table in a one bed apt. It was very pleasant. The reception informed us of the 'route' to our apt via 4 lifts and although it seemed horrendous there were no waits and easypeasy after the first day!Met with a glass of bubbly and welcomed even after the Christmas rush and altogether very happy with room cleaning, no noise from other apts with kids. Never ate there because there are more than enough lovely restaurants in PM to waste time in a hotel!

We stayed here over Christmas 2011. The weather was great as the sun shone all day and everyday. Puerto DeMogan itself was very attractive and I would like to visit there again someday.

The apartments probably looked great when they were first built but they now feel run down in places. This is a huge apartment complex and we had to get 4 different lifts to go to our apartment and then had to walk a long distance to get to the Apartment. This was ok but when you have shopping bags from the supermarket or you have walked for 20 mins already from the harbour area then it wasn't so much fun.

We had an apartment on a higher floor which I requested in advance due to the recommendations on this site. However, beware of doing this, as we had a very small balcony and we had been looking forward to the large balcony! When we visited, the sun did not come onto the balcony until late afternoon so if you like your morning coffee in the sun then this may not be the place for you.

The apartment itself was very spacious and we were generally happy with it. It just needs some re-decoaration. However, it was great to have a bath in the bathroom and not just a shower and I was very relieved to find that there was always plenty of hot water. We were a little phased when we found the cockroach on our clothes in the wardrobe but it was our last morning there thank goodness. Surely there are some pestcides they can use to keep the cockroaches out of the apartments?

Overall, we had a very enjoyable holiday in the resort and these apartments are not bad value for what you get. However, next time I would try and stay somewhere where there isn't that niggling feeling that the place is going downhill.
