PB hotel design editorial

Low-rise whitewashed pavilions arranged around a sequence of freeform pools, their terracotta-tiled rooflines barely clearing the crowns of mature Canarian palms — this is the grammar of the Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia, a 94-room property set within the protected dune landscape of Maspalomas that has quietly maintained the most convincing case for traditional resort architecture in the Canary Islands since opening in 2000. Conceived by the Lopesan group and designed with close reference to the colonial vernacular of the islands — thick rendered walls, dark timber balustrades, bougainvillea cascading from ironwork balconies — the property operates at a domestic scale that larger Maspalomas resorts have never managed to achieve. The interiors sustain that register throughout. Guestrooms are finished in powder blue and cream, their four-poster beds in heavily turned dark mahogany sitting on terracotta tile floors softened by cobalt-patterned wool rugs, the palette drawing an explicit line between Canarian craft traditions and the blue-and-white ceramic vocabulary of the Portuguese and Spanish colonial worlds. Blue-and-white ginger jar lamps flank each bed; the curtain fabric repeats a small diamond motif that echoes the bedcover embroidery. In the bar, yellow leather bar stools pull against hand-painted tile dados and a dark mahogany counter beneath a coffered rotunda ceiling — a colonial club atmosphere that feels earned rather than assembled. The gardens, planted with columnar cacti, agapanthus, and specimen palms, do much of the work that architecture alone cannot.

"My wife and I spent one week at the Seaside Grand and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The property is attractive and well maintained. The service was exceptional. We were celebrating our anniversary and the staff went out of there way to make our day special. The pool area was quiet as was the entire property. It was a very relaxing and restful stay. It is a short walk to either the beach or the shopping area. We were very surprised at all the activity that existed a short walk from the property while the property remained an oasis of tranquility. We couldn't have asked for more and we can't wait to return."

"This hotel / holiday is/was simply the best holiday we've had. From the airport pick-up, to reception (greeted by name), a fabulous room that's spotless, beautiful, cool and spacious, we feel really at home. The ambience is slow, gentle, sophisticated, and grown-up... the hotel isn't adults only, though it feels like it should be. No piped music playing, just a live local band at the BBQ nights and a live act (pianist, guitar) at 9pm at the outdoor bar. There's a nice gym (outdoors but fully shaded) and a great spa (sauna, steam, cold plunge, outdoor thermal pool with jets). For us however it is the restaurant and the breakfast and dinner which makes this hotel really special. The first time we went (this was our third trip) we had B&B only and we ate out on the first night. It was... OK. Second night we ate at the hotel restaurant and that's it for us. It is wonderful. Food. Service. Ambiance. The staff are so friendly. So half-board for us. So many people at the hotel are "repeaters" and these guests are greeted like old friends by the staff. However, new guests are treated just as well and this universally outstanding treatment was what clinched it for us. Almost all the staff are "long-timers" and have been there years. That says something. They clearly love "working" there. Every day after breakfast we headed to the beach, and the sand dunes are amazing. Maybe a world heritage site? You certainly don't go playing on them (big fine if youre caught I read). 2 sun beds and a parasol €7.50/day. We'd have a long walk on the beach to the next town and back (9k) which helps with the calorie intake! And then lounge around the pool later in the day. People do swim a bit and we think the pool measures around 18m by 15m perhaps. Big enough to do some lengths if you want to. So congratulations to the owner and the management. You've created a little heaven. Don't change it!"
