Hotel LIVVO Los Calderones - Adults Recommended

Lovely hotel. Photos do it justice, staff are very friendly and helpful, remember your drinks order at the bar. Breakfast has a good variety of hot, continental, cereals, gluten free.
Aircon was not great in our bedroom and we opened windows instead, this was okay because we visited in March. The beds are much too hard. The mattress was sprung and felt quite old. We woke up with bad backs most days. We spoke to other couples who agreed.
Location is okay if you don’t mind walking, nearest supermarket is only 5 minute walk but if you want to go down to the seafront for dinner it’s around 25 minute walk up hill. We don’t mind walking so it was okay but for others it might be too far.

Rooms very nice. Location good away from the main strip. Atmosphere amazing very relaxed and the staff were amazing, each and everyone could not have been more helpful and friendly and a special mention about the receptionist Marlen always going out of her way to help us. Thank you so very much to all for a wonderful week and we will be back.

Just returned from our second visit to this beautiful hotel. We were greeted on arrival by Jocelyn and enjoyed a glass of fizz while she completed the paperwork.
We were in room 505 which was the same room as last time (at our request) which overlooked the pool. The rooms are duplex with living accommodation downstairs and sleeping upstairs, a balcony upstairs and private terrace downstairs.
We were greeted in the restaurant by Samuel and Marjory who remembered us from last year, they made us very welcome with lovely hugs.
The food in the restaurant at dinner and breakfast was very good with lots of choice 😋
All in all this is a fantastic hotel with the friendliest staff I've ever met.
We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend it

This hotel is just perfect for us oldies.
We booked for 6 weeks from the middle of January until the end of February. The weather was perfect as was the pool which was heated to 27 degs and yes I did check with my eBay thermometer.
The accommodation was brilliant, just be careful on the stairs. We had the best of locations overlooking the pool and the pool bar for the evening entertainment which was simple but good.
The hotel staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble. Marlen who was in charge even pushed a guest around in a wheelchair after she had an accident on a bike. Ana picked up some shopping for me and Jocelyn was always smiling.
I have to mention Flavvi she is an absolute jem and her English is perfect.
Lolli your bed making and cleaning are excellent and so quick.
I’d love to mention everyone but just to say a huge thank you.
We normally stay in 5 star beach front hotels and are just sorry we didn’t find this hotel sooner.
We have booked to return next January

Location**
The hotel is located in the southeast of Gran Canaria in a peaceful and relaxing setting. It features beautiful gardens where guests can unwind, along with two lovely resident cats that add to the charm of the place. A taxi stop is conveniently located right next to the hotel, and guests can relax comfortably in the reception area while the staff arrange transportation if needed. The location also provides very easy access to the city and nearby beaches.

**Staff**
All members of the staff are welcoming, kind, and highly professional. I was particularly impressed by claudia , who demonstrated outstanding professionalism, genuine passion for the job, and great kindness toward guests. Claudia also took extra time to explain the local history and was especially supportive of travelers who did not speak Spanish, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and well informed.

**Food**
The food at the hotel is excellent. Guests can enjoy breakfast in the morning, pizza in the afternoon, and a buffet dinner in the evening. The variety and quality of the meals make dining at the hotel a very enjoyable experience.

**Facilities**
The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The hotel’s facilities are also kept to a very high standard. Upstairs, guests can enjoy the sauna and showers, which provide a relaxing space to unwind after a day of exploring.

I only have one word for this hotel.....PERFECT
Duplex rooms were bright and clean. Having 2 balconies was fab. Beds were extremely comfortable. We were bed and breakfast, breakfast was lovely plenty of fresh fruit and hot options were good, we especially loved the omelette station. Im lactose free and delighted to find lactose free yoghurt and milk available.
Pool area was immaculate with plenty of sunbeds available. The pool bar was lovely and done a good variety of snacks at lunch time.
Tea and coffee did cost from the mini bar, we bought tea bags from local shop and used them.
The hotel is very quite and chilled which was what we wanted. It was perfect for us.
Staff were amazing all friendly and helpful. I left my wedding ring in the safe when we left. I emailed the hotel directly when we got home they replied quickly and they found my ring. Its now safely back home with me.
We will be returning.

Roadside appearance is deceptive, upon entering greeted by very pleasant receptionist and a cold glass of fizz, then through the glass doors to a beautifully kept pool side area surrounded by bonsai and canarian palms. Our duplex room was very clean, spacious , with a large outside area, tables and chairs and our own sun loungers that we could use instead of going by the pool. Plenty of toiletries in the bathroom and also bathrobes, pool towels of good quality . A tv upstairs and downstairs that also have English channels. Plenty of sunbeds, never had to queue, nice pools and jacuzzi, well kept clean areas, gym not bad, but did not have towels provided. Stayed half board, inside and outside restaurant very clean bright areas, lots of variety on both breakfast and evening, no portion restrictions, only criticism is the hot food is never really hot, the heated lamps are not effective at all, however there are 2 microwaves in the dining area which I did use on occasion. All drinks put on the room account, not too expensive, the pool bar was nice at night, singers on until 10pm ( the male singer quite good!) , the hotel doesn't do lively, just a peaceful environment to chill, Shuttle bus punctual, but easy enough to walk in and out of resort once you get your bearings, but probably not so much if you have mobility problems, taxi rank about 200 yards away. The reception staff are lovely, especially helpful Jocelyn, restaurant staff never stop, Majorie, Yadhiz (?) and Samuel very helpful and hardworking, overall we had such a great stay, we will definitely return to this little gem

Very very disappointed to find some guests deciding to put towels on sunbeds to reserve them. Why is this allowed?!!!!!

Excellent hotel. Very friendly , efficient staff. Hotel very clean. Rooms are duplex apartments with lovely balcony and own garden and seating area . Pool area / jacuzzi peaceful.and never crowded. Nice bar for drinks and lunch . Special mention to our waiter staff Crisa, Johan , Marjory and Samuel who were exceptional and a credit to the hotel . Definitely recommend for a peaceful holiday

Staying at the moment and all nice and staff friendly.
The rooms are advertised with coffee and tea but what they dont say if you have to pay extra for the actual coffee, tea and even the milf sackets on top, Iit is not a cheap hotel so I do find it a bit strange.

Mostly positives for our stay. The pool area, the sun terrace with plunge pool and hot tub were fabulous. Plenty of sun beds and beautiful sunshine, much warmer than expected in January. Both pools were warm enough to swim in. If you're looking for peace and quiet you can find it here. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with an abundance of plants and quiet seating areas.
We couldn't get a pool view room but actually room 810 was fine. Be warned there is €100 deposit taken for the mini bar and we didn't realise that included tea and coffee. €2 per coffee pod! Although housekeeping was in each day, on close inspection some hair and tissue in the bathroom remained throughout our stay. Towels were changed daily.

The buffet breakfast was plentiful with sparkling wine, fruit, yoghurt, cheese, ham, breads, pastries etc. Omelette were cooked to order, bacon, small sausages, scrambled eggs, tomatoes were pre cooked but the plates were cold and the food temperature only just warm.

We ate in the restaurant once at €25 each. It was fine, good selection of salad, fresh cooked fish and chicken but again cold plates.

We didn't use the free bus to Faro Maspalomas as we tended to go later and eat in the evening. A taxi was €4.80 to a wide variety of restaurants and shops.

This was the perfect balance for us and nice to come back to peace and quiet. There was some evening entertainment, solo singers but usually finished by 10pm. The pool bar had a good selection of reasonably priced drinks and snacks at lunchtime.

Lastly, the hotel team were lovely, very friendly and helpful on the last day check out was 12pm but we could leave out luggage and had access to the sauna with a shower, shampoo, towels before our 4pm pick up.

A few glitches but will definitely stay again.

I don’t want to slate this place too much, as overall this has been a really good holiday and this apartment/ hotel complex is really nice, especially the staff.
There were a couple of issues during my stay, which were all sorted out, but equally weren’t expected.
Checkin - could have been better. Room I was given on arrival wasn’t what I was expecting, view overlooking a wall and got little to no sun. Tv didn’t work, the stairs also really slippy and I fell down the stairs.
Was told I couldn’t move initially as they were full however next day I spoke to the reception again and the in resort rep and they agreed to move me.
The new room was much nicer, brighter and better view of the garden with sun all day on the balcony.

They had some sort of power cut on the last night, handled really well by the team, however it must have knocked all the tvs off and the boilers as tvs wouldn’t work still the next day and there was no hot water so I had to get a cold shower.

However, these issues aside, I would come back here.
The staff are friendly, and go out of their way to engage with you and make you feel welcome.
The blonde hair lady on reception is really nice and pleasant, really makes the effort to chat to you.
Samuel on the evening dinner service is really friendly and chatty.
There are others but didn’t get their names but they all stood out as being very friendly.
The young lass at dinner who works with Samuel is very upbeat and friendly.

The rooms are clean and modern, just be careful on the stairs as they are slippy.
I fell and really hurt myself.

The gardens are clean and well looked after, with a nice poolside.

The food is OK, it’s nice and plenty of options for all diets, wasn’t a lot of variety over all though which did leave me feeling hungry sometimes or going out more.
There is a shop onsite, where you can purchase drinks and snacks and some toiletries.
The hotel operates a mini bar which on arrival you are asked to pay a 100€ deposit for, which also includes a deposit for towels.
I wasn’t aware of this, however paid it and they refund it on check out.
The mini bar is in my opinion quite pricey, and the items were cheaper in the shop.

The pools are nice, and don’t get overcrowded, and not a lot of bed reserving going in either which is nice.
Some hotels you go to, it’s just gets out of hand.
This place I feel is really chilled.

There is a taxi rank outside the hotel, and a taxi will cost you 6 € to the lighthouse where there is a plethora of bars and restaurants and the nearest beach.
Equally, 4€ to playa del ingles, where you can go for a night out in the Yumbo.
Puerto Rico is a bus ride way, catch the number 39/90 from the bus stop near the lighthouse, will cost you 2.75€ each way.
Nice for an afternoon out.

I visit GC every January, and Maspalomas is a beautiful holiday either solo or with friends.
Ive stayed at many hotels around the area and this is one of the better ones.
It’s not world class luxury, however the team are really friendly and really care which makes all the difference.
I will come back here and will recommend to my friends.

This duplex hotel, is one of the best places I've ever stayed at, it's an Oasis of luxury, set with palm trees, bonsai trees, sculptures, really is a fantastic experience. Marlen and the reception team are Awesome, always available to cater for your needs, duplexs are great, food is delicious, atmosphere is quiet and inviting.

Amazing week away! Rooms are spotless and very spacious. Staff on reception were lovely and helped us with all our needs throughout the week.
It was my birthday while we were away, woke up to a bottle of sparkling wine and a birthday letter which was lovely!
Breakfast was also good, lots of variety and a fresh live omelette cooking station.
Highly recommend this hotel! Although it’s out the way, taxis were very cheap and we had a lovely holiday!

Thank you ❤️

Stayed HB for 7 nights week commencing 20 October. 28degrees every day. Flew Jet2 from Luton albeit delayed by an hour. We’d missed the evening restaurant meal. Thoughtful reception team had organised plates of cold meats and salads for us, on arrival. Great start. We chose Calderones because it was adults-only and for its location, approximately 30-mins walk to the seafront / centre of Maspalomas / bus station.
Like much of the hotel, our room was a duplex apartment. Downstairs: lounge with TV and minibar. Upstairs: Bathroom, bedroom with TV. We loved it. Hotel layout was a basic grid system with plenty of greenery and interesting artefacts. Pool was just right with ample sun loungers and pool café. We spent most of our time here!
Staff and service were excellent throughout the week. The hotel sold basic items such as drinks and snacks. There are several good mini markets within easy walking distance of the hotel. Land opposite the hotel is at best a missed opportunity and but detracts from the quality of Los Calderones and the adjacent developments, stoney rough ground and rubble. This really is a small point and, though a little unsightly but certainly typical, did not dent our enthusiasm for the hotel and the island. We enjoyed daily walks, the pleasing architecture (including the never-to-be-forgotten Faro 2 Shopping Centre) and the amazing seafront with its lighthouse, museum and awesome dunes.

The hotel needs a bit of maintenance to get it back up to 4 stars but when we arrived all was satisfactory we weren't expecting excellence.The food was ok maybe not so much for vegetarians but they are trying.Staff in the reception and restaurant were attentive and polite. On our last day however one incident spoiled everything. So the pool is surrounded by sun loungers not all facing towards the sun so myself and my wife thought we'd move as the sun moves.my wife also went to get a glass of coke from the bar.All was good we'd had a relaxing day but had enough sun so collected our things and started to walk to our room.no sooner as we started to walk away from the loungers the life guard started charging towards us shouting in spanish and waving his hands about.we dont speak the language so didn't have a clue what he was saying. He picked one of the loungers up turned it around and slammed it back to the ground again shouting in Spanish.he pointed at the coke glass and the to the pool bar but we just started to walk away to get away from his abusive behaviour.he proceeded to follow us shouting and trying to push the glass into my wife's hand who by now was visibly upset.back to the room the came out to go and see the reception manager to complain,he saw us come out and continued his aggressive rant.my wife couldn't speak she was that upset so I told the reception what had happened and another holiday maker confirmed what had happened. We were leaving next day but were reassured it would be dealt with.paying guests shouldn't be treated in such a manner no matter what when in fact we had done nothing to justify the aggression.we will definitely not be returning.

For the first 3 days we had water dripping from the ceiling at the top of the stairs and no air conditioning upstairs . We reported this and told that it’s condensation. I made a video of it and the pool of water gathering in a very precarious place . It was certainly not condensation. They sent maintenance so we had to miss our bus and go with him for him to tell us because we have the bathroom window open . There is no fan in the bathroom or ventilation so you have to open the very small window slightly . So we closed it and the same thing g happened the next day . We again had to go with maintenance and he told us it’s the air conditioning again and condensation. Honestly we know all about condensation and this wasn’t it . I almost slipped all the way down the narrow stairs one morning , it was a real health & safety issue . No one seemed to be taking us seriously or seeing it as a problem . So again we reported , showed the video and another maintenance guy came and solved the problem . We then spent every day for a few days complaining about the cleaning of the accommodation. One day , no replenishing , sink left untouched , balcony left , next cups left , glasses left , shower left , floors not cleaned . It’s sounds as though we complain a lot ! We don’t , but spending £100 a night in an alleged 4 star you should have a clean room . The biggest flaw however is no sink downstairs , so you have to go down to get the kettle , come up to fill , go down to plug in wait 30 mins for it to boil then come back up . Also they do not replenish tea bags etc but I suppose in the 30 mins you have for it to boil you can pop to the shops . Pool towels are only changed weekly , so when the week had come and we asked for clean towels we were told there were none available . We moaned that it’s been a week of using a dirty thread bear towel and eventually we received one towel about a metre squared . The cleaner did then bring us some bigger ones to cover our fandango’s. The other major gripe is the rolling bed on wheels . Don’t sit up in bed or you will end up in next doors apartment . Terrible beds . Good points …. Staff very friendly , pool is clean , peaceful hotel , breakfast plentiful , good choices and tasty . Overall we wouldn’t recommend . Too many issues and no one to really care about them .

Stayed for 9 nights and have just returned. Hotel is very clean and comfortable.
Rooms. Had a pool view and was close to the pool bar. Room was cleaned everyday. Only small issue was pool towels were difficult to get changed due to lack of them in the system. No noise from other rooms.
Pool Bar. Bar stops serving at 10.30pm. Entertainment most nights. Service very good throughout the day. Menus is a little limited.
Restaurant. Was only having breakfast which was fully stocked and plentiful and good quality. No poached eggs done thou. The one evening we had the meal was €25 each plus drinks. They offer a deal for €15 euros each if you take minimum of 5 nights. If this had been for 3 we would have taken the deal but 5 out of 9 was to many.
Reception. 24 hours and very helpful. Onsite shop very useful.
Gym. Well laid out but 2 running machines not working out of the 3 so had to time the use.
Location is a little way away from the main area but was very easy with taxis located 75 yard's away from the hotel and only €5.
Recommend the Beirut Lebanese restaurant which is only 8 mins walk away. Food was great. Small supermarket in same location as well.
Overall a very good holiday but some minor issues easily rectified.
We would go again.

perfect hotel for me travelling solo , it was chilled peaceful and relaxed , helpful friendly staff and good food , the hotel and rooms where beautiful and comfortable , great facilities, i would most definitly return

Regular bus shuttle to and from maspalomas during the day. Only €4 taxi back from Faro de maspalomas and €7 from playa de Ingles.
Good breakfast.
Nightly entertainment.
Plenty of sun loungers.
Clean pools and hot tub.
Nice room duplex layout including a TV in the bedroom and living area.
Private porch.
Nespresso machine to use.
Polite, helpful and attentive staff. Ana, Stefan, and Marlen are wonderful as is Washington (the omelette chef) and Carlos the grounds maintanence man.
Although it's in a remote location it is near a large, cheap supermarket (mercadona) 15 mins walk away.
Good bus links to Puerto de Mogan.
