If you’re looking for a quiet escape in the Canary Islands, this hotel review Gran Canaria is for you. We recently stayed at the wonderful H10 Costa Mogan, an adults-only hotel in Playa del Cura. After just a few hours, it was clear: this trip that we took with Jet2 would be special.
First Impressions and a Warm Welcome
The check-in experience set the tone for our stay. We were welcomed with a glass of bubbles and broad smiles. The luxe large entrance, surrounded by palm trees and soaring cliffs, felt inviting and tranquil. It was immediately evident that this was a place made for relaxation – something that has become desperately needed after a very hectic start to the year.
From the terrace we could see the ocean, glass-bottom boats, and speedboats heading out for dolphin watching. The setting felt peaceful but full of life. It was easy to settle in – it’s truly beautiful.
Our Room: Modern and Comfortable
The room was modern, spacious, stylish, and very clean. It included a king-sized bed, walk-in shower, fast Wi-Fi, a coffee pod machine, and a balcony with sea and pool views. The soft colour scheme helped create a calm and soothing atmosphere.
After each evening’s entertainment came to a close (hosted in M10’s Mogán Lounge Bar from around 9pm-midnight – always a fun time :), we slept soundly. The room was blissfully quiet, the bed was excellent, and the blackout curtains worked perfectly. For a good night’s rest, it really delivered.
Facilities and Activities: Thoughtful Touches Everywhere
The main pool area was one of our favourite spots. There are plenty of loungers, shady areas for when you need a break from the sun, and a relaxed, adults-only vibe. The bar serves drinks and snacks and as we had our handy all-inclusive wristband on, we could access whatever we wanted at any time.
Pool towels are available to borrow at the mini market on site. It also sells lovely gifts, resort wear and basics. On my first day I couldn’t help but buy a beautiful silk sarong and pink bikini: my last purchase like this was a few years ago, so I just went for it!
If you like, you can hire a lovely Bali Bed at H10’s La Riviera Beach Club for €35 per day. In April it wasn’t busy enough for us to consider this, but in the height of summer it could be a good option to guarantee a good place for yourself for the day.
There’s also a small gym, a wellness centre, and free daily classes like Yoga, Pilates and aqua aerobics. These sessions made a big difference to how we felt, and were all hosted by lively, engaging ‘Entertainment Managers’. They helped us reset both physically (needed after our buffet visits!) and mentally. It’s the kind of wellness travel that sneaks up on you – in the best way.
Dining: Excellent Food and Generous Service
Speaking of buffets… we went all-inclusive and were glad we did. The buffet was generous and very high-quality, with lots of fresh salads, fish, grilled vegetables, and desserts. Each meal was different enough to keep things interesting.
The drink service was generous, and the cocktails were well made. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Dining here felt calm and comfortable, not rushed or loud.
On the Friday evening, a wonderful saxophonist played while we dined creating a wonderful ambiance in an already sublime setting.
The hotel is well equipped with multiple entertainment and dining spaces. We also adored the Rooftop Sky Bar on the fifth floor overlooking the beach and vast ocean. A second restaurant is on site too but not included in all-inclusive. We loved our selection so much we didn’t feel the need to branch out, but will visit the Costa Fusion Restaurant next time for sure!
Nearby and Easy to Explore
Although you don’t have to leave the resort, there’s a large Spar supermarket nearby as well as a few local eateries. The Spar turned out to be helpful since I’d forgotten to pack deodorant: that could have ended badly!
If you’re searching for hotels in Gran Canaria that offer comfort, calm, and good value, H10 Costa Mogan is a fantastic option.
See More, Do More Gran Canaria
You can of course relax and stay around the hotel for your entire trip, it’s easy to do. We sure didn’t want to leave. However, you can also engage in a wide range of activities that get you around the island. Shopping excursions to the capital of Las Palmas, dolphin watching and glass bottom boat rides, all-day jeep experiences, and food tours abound. All of this can be booked via Jet2 on the ground and at your hotel. Easy done.
Why This Hotel Stands Out
This hotel review Gran Canaria is an honest reflection of a truly easy and relaxing stay. The hotel has thoughtful details, great food, and peaceful surroundings. It’s perfect for couples, solo travellers, or anyone needing to recharge.
Booking with Jet2 made everything easy. From flights to Gran Canaria to smooth transfers and clear communication, we felt supported at every stage.
Our Trip and Disclosure
This trip was part of a content invitation from Jet2holidays. We were invited to share our experience in Gran Canaria with Jet2. Our flights, hotel and transfers were complimentary, but this is not a paid post. All opinions are our own.
Booking Details
Here’s what we did:
Gran Canaria in April, flying from Stansted Airport in London.
4 nights at adults-only accommodation H10 Costa Mogán, arriving Friday evening, departing Tuesday afternoon.
Flights, transfers and hotel are part of the package. You can add extras including seats, food and drinks for during your flight.
Our room was facing the beach and ocean: simply sublime.
We experienced full board which included three amazing restaurant buffet meals a day. Additionally, full board includes an entire menu of drinks available at the Pool Bar, Rooftop Sky Bar, and Mogán Lounge Bar.
Activities are also on offer at H10 Costa Mogán including Yoga, Pilates, aqua aerobics. And, if dancing is your thing, there’s nightly entertainment. Pack what you will with this advice :)
Drinking water: we were advised to drink bottled water here. Accounts vary as to whether the island water is drinkable or not. Our tap water didn’t taste too great, so we just filled our bottles up using the facilities provided at the hotel.
Looking for a warm and relaxing break in Europe? Enter Gran Canaria with Jet2 – an adults-only getaway done right! From smooth flights to golden beaches and tranquil villages, this trip is ideal for couples or solo travellers seeking sunshine and serenity. Honestly, our expectations were entirely exceeded which hasn’t been our experience for a long time! This was our first time flying with Jet2 but certainly will not be our last.
Jet2 from London Stansted
Our holiday started the moment we arrived for our flights at London Stansted Airport. Check-in with Jet2 was fast and easy. The staff were exceedingly friendly, and the flight departed on time. It was a comfortable and relaxed journey, with Jet2 offering excellent service throughout. On the other side, there was no faff: great signage and support enabled a smooth transition to our transfer bus. In fact, from the beginning of the trip to after we’d left the hotel, text messages arrived from Jet2 offering help, advice and directions, including to the bus bay number where our transfer was waiting at Gran Canaria’s airport. We are definitely surprised and delighted by their service and can confirm that the return trip was just as easy.
Welcome to Playa del Cura, Gran Canaria
We were based in Playa del Cura, a peaceful beachside town in the southwest of Gran Canaria. The area is calm and less crowded than other coastal spots, perfect for those seeking peace and quiet. Its beach is small but clean, and there’s a relaxed atmosphere all day long. As a base, we were totally happy with this area and will head directly there in the future (yes, we are already planning to return).
Hotels in Gran Canaria offer something for every kind of traveller, and Playa del Cura is a great base for exploring, or resting which was what we were after following a very busy start to the year.
Our Stay at H10 Costa Mogán
We stayed at the H10 Costa Mogan, a stylish and contemporary adults-only hotel just a short walk from the beach. The hotel is beautifully designed with coastal-inspired décor, a large outdoor pool, multiple chill-out areas, several bars, two restaurants, wellness activities, and spacious modern rooms.
It’s the perfect place to unwind. The calm, adults-only atmosphere helped us relax from day one. The views from the roof terrace and the fresh, locally-inspired cuisine added to the experience.
Over the weekend too, we received one of Jet2’s helpful messages from a customer service representative, letting us know about a window of time they would be at the hotel, should we have any questions or need help. Fab!
Exploring Puerto de Mogán: Gran Canaria’s “Little Venice”
A highlight of our trip was a visit to picturesque Puerto de Mogán. This charming fishing village is known as ‘Little Venice’ because of its canals and pretty whitewashed houses. Colourful bougainvillaea climbs every balcony, and the marina is lined with cafes and shops.
We spent a few hours strolling the narrow streets, shopping for local gifts and enjoying a seafood lunch by the water. It’s a must-see when visiting Gran Canaria with Jet2. You can easily reach Puerto de Mogán from Playa del Cura by taxi in about 20 minutes, or local bus. In the interest of saving time, we took a cab to and from H10 Costa Mogan hotel, which cost around €20 each way. Taxis here are payable by cash or card.
Tip: found a great coffee at a little place called Sai Heladeria just off the main esplanade near the beach, and €2.50 large beers at the Mogán Bar along the beachfront.

If you want to relax and stay around the hotel, there’s plenty to do. However, you can also engage in a wide range of activities that get you around the island. Shopping trips to the capital of Las Palmas, dolphin watching and glass bottom boat rides, all-day jeep experiences, and food tours abound. All of this can be booked via Jet2 on the ground and at your hotel. Easy done.
Adults-Only Relaxation with Jet2holidays
If you’re looking for a child-free, stress-free holiday, we think adults only holidays with Jet2holidays are ideal. This trip was just what we needed – a slow, quiet pace, AMAZING food, stunning views, and revitalising sea air.
Jet2 took care of every detail. From the flights to Gran Canaria to airport transfers and accommodation, everything is streamlined and simple. This package made travelling easy, especially perfect if you want everything in one place. We have booked other package holidays before and actually had a negative experience: we’d not planned to again. However, now we’ve discovered Jet2, quite honestly, we’re not sure we can go back to DIY. We’re already looking at Jet2’s holiday destination map to make a decision on our next trip to book! We’ve got our eyes on Crete and Turkey, although, it’s going to be hard to beat Gran Canaria!
Why Choose Gran Canaria with Jet2?
Before heading to Gran Canaria, we quizzed friends who continue to visit the Canary Islands all year round: now we know why they return. Whether you’re escaping winter or just need a sunny break (which we did after a long British winter), Gran Canaria with Jet2 is a perfect choice. The destination offers warm weather, beautiful landscapes and plenty of opportunities to unwind. Jet2 makes travel smooth, affordable, and stress-free – everything you (and we!) want in a holiday.
With direct flights from multiple airports in Britain, flexible booking, and great hotels, we’re pretty much raving fans of Jet2 now, and highly recommend you check them out while planning your next island getaway. The app is on our phones – originally downloaded for easy access to our booking, but it’s good to browse for travel ideas too. It’s especially handy if you’re prone to a little impulse-booking, as we tend to be!
Our Trip and Disclosure
We were invited by Jet2holidays to experience and share what it’s like to travel to Gran Canaria with Jet2. While our flights, accommodation and transfers were provided free of charge, this is not a paid collaboration. All thoughts and opinions are entirely our own.

Our room was facing the beach and ocean: simply sublime. If you are sensitive to noise at night or like to go to sleep before midnight, see if you can request a room a little further away from where the evening entertainment is held at the Lounge Bar. Not a big deal, but worth knowing.
We experienced full board which included three amazing restaurant buffet meals a day. Additionally, full board includes an entire menu of drinks available at the Pool Bar, Rooftop Sky Bar, and Mogán Lounge Bar.
