Let's be real. You didn't choose Aqua Beach because it looked nice on a brochure. You chose us because someone, a friend, a date, a stranger at a bar, told you: "you have to go." And they were right. That word-of-mouth, that reputation built one unforgettable stay at a time, just got official. Aqua Beach Bungalows has won the TripAdvisor® Travellers' Choice Award 2026, placing us among the top-rated hotels in the world, as voted by travellers.
What the TripAdvisor® Travellers' Choice Award actually means
TripAdvisor®'s Travellers' Choice Award isn't handed out, it's earned. The award is given out annually to hotels and accommodations that have earned consistently excellent reviews from travellers across the globe. Less than 10% of TripAdvisor® listings receive this honour, making it a genuine stamp of approval from the people who matter most: you, our guests.
For a gay resort in Maspalomas, sitting right across from the Yumbo Centre, that means a lot. It's proof that what we're doing here, the warmth, the energy, the community, is landing exactly the way we hope.
The nights that made this happen
Aqua Beach Bungalows isn't just a place to sleep. It's where the trip actually starts, and sometimes, where it never really ends. We're in the middle of everything: the parties, the Pride, the chaos, the connections. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
From the moment you land at the airport and spot our welcome desk, to the morning after a brilliant night at Yumbo when you made it back just in time for the last breakfast. That's what this award is made of.
A huge thank you, from the bottom of our hearts
To every single guest who left a review, shared a memory, recommended Aqua Beach to a friend, or came back for a second (or fifth) time: this award is yours as much as it is ours. You are the reason Aqua Beach Bungalows is what it is. The laughs by the pool, the new friendships made, the mornings after unforgettable nights, you bring the soul to this place, and we just get to host it.
See you soon?
Don't just take our word for it, over a thousand travellers have. And now TripAdvisor agrees: Aqua Beach Bungalows is one of the best gay hotels in Maspalomas and Gran Canaria.
