Overview

Tabaiba Princess's main selling point is pool infrastructure. Nine pools — four adult pools (two heated in winter), one adults-only (18+) heated pool, two heated children's pools, and two water park pools — give a property of 409 rooms meaningful variety. The Caribbean-inspired pool landscape with tropical gardens and an artificial beach area creates a self-contained water environment that keeps families on property for days without needing to leave for the actual beach.

This is a good choice for families where different members want different things: parents seeking a quieter adults-only pool while kids are at the water park, or groups mixing couples and families who want to share a resort without being on top of each other. The shared facility access with adjacent Maspalomas Princess effectively doubles the amenity pool without proportionally increasing the crowd density.

The distance to the real beach is the key caveat: Maspalomas Beach — one of the great beaches in the Canary Islands, with dramatic sand dunes adjacent — is 1.5 to 2 km away, a 20-minute walk or a short taxi. Guests who plan to spend primary time at the beach rather than the pool need to factor in this logistics question. The artificial on-site beach is a partial substitute but not equivalent to the real thing.

409 rooms, opened 1997, partially renovated 2019. 35 km from Gran Canaria Airport (LPA), 35 minutes by taxi. Specialist restaurants (Il Peccato Italian, Kokoro Asian) each include one complimentary dinner per five nights — reservation required. The adults-only spa area requires advance booking in 90-minute sessions at €10 per entry.

Pros

  • +Nine pools including a dedicated water park and a separate adults-only (18+) heated pool — more aquatic infrastructure variety than most Maspalomas properties.
  • +Shared facilities with Maspalomas Princess effectively expand the dining and pool options without additional cost.
  • +The adults-only spa area (€10 entry, 90-minute sessions) is a genuinely comprehensive wellness facility for the price.
  • +The specialty restaurants (Italian and Asian) include one complimentary visit per five nights — meaningful savings on a week-long stay.

Cons

  • −Maspalomas Beach is 1.5–2 km away — not walkable for casual back-and-forth trips. Budget taxi costs or accept the 20-minute walk if beachgoing is a daily priority.
  • −The property opened in 1997 with only a partial 2019 renovation — room quality varies and the overall feel is not as fresh as newer properties.
  • −The adults-only spa requires advance €10 booking in 90-minute slots — the friction of booking and paying separately can deter spontaneous use.

Tips

  • Book Il Peccato or Kokoro on arrival day for the complimentary dinner — both are reservation-only and the best nights of the week fill first.
  • The adults-only pool (18+) with chill-out bar is quietest before noon — families focus on the main pools and water park during morning hours.
  • Maspalomas Dunes adjacent to the beach are worth a morning visit on at least one day — the dune system is one of the most distinctive natural features in Gran Canaria.
  • All Inclusive Plus upgrade is worth considering if international spirits or premium cocktails are important — the standard inclusion covers national brands only.
