Playa del Inglés, next door to Maspalomas, is the liveliest resort in the south of Gran Canaria, with a long beach that leads all the way to the dunes. Here are its places with a heated pool. I've selected 5 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is Bull Escorial & Spa (8.9/10).
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.

The pool. Bull Hotels highlights a heated pool, designed for cooler days. Kayak also mentions an indoor pool, a sauna and a spa pool on the roof terrace.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. Ask whether the spa's indoor pool is free to use.
The pool. Two outdoor pools and a spa (one free entry per stay). Bull Hotels captions a photo "climate-controlled pool", and btravel lists the hotel among those with a climate-controlled pool.
Some guests report noise around the pool during building work. I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. The evidence of heating is thin: get the hotel to confirm it before you book.
The pool. Large pools advertised by the hotel as heated year-round, with jacuzzis, saunas and hydrotherapy in the spa.
The hot tub. Jacuzzis in the spa.
Opinions on the pool are mixed: Kayak gives it 5/10 and talks of mixed experiences, without going into the temperature.
Guide's tip. Mixed reviews of the pool: read the recent comments before you book.
The pool. Outdoor pool heated in winter, according to lastminute.com; Bull Hotels presents it as pleasant in every season.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.

The pool. Two outdoor pools, one of them climate-controlled, and a saltwater pool, according to MyBoutiqueHotel. Hotels.com also lists an indoor pool.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. Ask which of the two pools is heated.
These places don't have a confirmed heated pool, but they do have a hot tub: the water is hot all year round. A good way to relax in the warm.
These places were suggested to us directly by their owners. The heated pool is declared by them; they don't yet have enough guest reviews to join the selection.
In my selection, the top-rated is Bull Escorial & Spa (Hotel), with 8.9/10 (1,211 reviews · Kayak). Next come Bull Vital Suites & Spa – Adults Only (8.8/10) and Bull Eugenia Victoria & Spa (8.6/10).
Yes at Bull Eugenia Victoria & Spa: the pool is advertised as heated all year round. At Bull Boutique Casas Carmen, heating is seasonal (heated in winter). Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Playa del Inglés gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes: Bull Eugenia Victoria & Spa also has a hot tub in addition to the heated pool.
The word "heated" on a booking page isn't enough. Every place must have a rating of at least 8/10 (or 4/5) and carries one of these four levels.
Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.
A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.
The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.
Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.
I left these out because guests report water colder than advertised, or because no heating or indoor pool is mentioned.
