Pension Alvarez is located in El Tablero, Spain. Rated 5.6 out of 10 based on 42 guest reviews.
Pension Alvarez is a small guesthouse in El Tablero, Gran Canaria, Spain, located at 29 Avenida de las Américas. It’s a practical base for travelers who prefer a quieter neighbourhood while still being within reach of Maspalomas’ main attractions. The area suits road trips and day trips, and you’ll find the resort’s big sights not far by car or taxi.
Expect a simple, lived-in setup rather than a full-service hotel: units include a patio and wardrobe, with access to shared bathroom facilities. Reviews from previous guests are mixed, with an overall 5.6/10 from 42 reviews, suggesting that while some visitors appreciate the straightforward stay and helpful on-site support, others may find the experience more basic than what they were expecting.

If you’re looking for things to do nearby, Aqualand Maspalomas is about 1.2 km away, and Yumbo Centre is roughly 1.5 km from the property. For a change of pace, the Maspalomas dunes and the wider beach area are within about 4–5 km, ideal for long walks and sunset views.

The stay is likely to be straightforward: you’ll have access to free wired internet, and housekeeping is available on request rather than necessarily being fully proactive. In the mornings, you can plan day trips toward nearby highlights like the Maspalomas Lighthouse and Dunas de Maspalomas, then return to a calmer neighborhood rather than the busiest tourist core.
