Fantastic value for money – don’t let the negative reviews put you off!
We had a really lovely stay and, honestly, I was pleasantly surprised after reading some of the negative reviews beforehand.
The food was much better than expected. There wasn’t a huge selection, but everything we tried was tasty and fresh. There was always something for children too, including fries and pasta every day. During our stay we also had tacos and pizzas, which were really nice. If you’re expecting endless choice every day, you may be disappointed, but we always found something we enjoyed.
The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our holiday. The beds were comfortable and a good size, and our room was kept clean. Just a little tip – if you want your towels changed, leave them in the bathtub.
The all-inclusive drinks were good, with plenty of choice. There were two cocktails of the day every day, and my favourite was the Strawberry Daiquiri! At the pool bar you pay a €1 deposit per reusable cup, which you get back when you return it.
A big plus was that the sun loungers remain locked until 10am, so there was no early morning rush to reserve them. We never had any trouble finding one. The loungers themselves were a little uncomfortable, but that wasn’t a major issue for us. The pool is quite cold at first, but once you’re in it’s absolutely fine. One thing to note is that inflatables and ball games aren’t allowed in the main pool, and the water slides are only for children under 12, which was a little disappointing.
The nearest beach (Playa Bastián) is about a 10-minute walk away. We also visited another, even nicer beach, which was only a 5–7 minute taxi ride away and cost just over €5. Reception were always happy to book a taxi for us.
There was entertainment every evening, including a mini disco for the children, bingo, live singers, karaoke and an acrobatic show, which was excellent. A special mention to Angel, the singer from South Africa, who was fantastic. Overall, the entertainment was okay—nothing spectacular, but enough to keep you occupied in the evenings.
One thing worth mentioning is that late check-out isn’t available. However, this wasn’t really a problem because you can leave your luggage in the free storage room next to reception and continue using all the hotel facilities until you leave for the airport. This includes the all-inclusive food and drinks, which we thought was a fantastic touch for guests with late flights.
The only area that could be improved was the snack bar. The snacks were quite limited and were only available from late afternoon. One day they served burgers and fries, the next it was hot dogs and fries. There was also a self-service area with bread, ham, cheese and fruit. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a toaster, which seemed like a missed opportunity and would have made the snack selection much better.
We usually take three holidays a year, with one being a more budget-friendly trip, and this was exactly that. For the price we paid, I honestly thought this hotel was fantastic and offered excellent value for money. If you’re expecting a luxury five-star resort, this probably isn’t for you. But if you’re looking for a clean, friendly hotel with tasty food, comfortable rooms and good value all-inclusive, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it
Nice modern clean hotel
Great all-inclusive hotel complex. Not too close to anything but you get what you pay for. The hotel was clean, staff were helpful, food was a bit repetitive but there was still ample to have something different every day (for a week long stay). Evening entertainment was moderate - the entertainment crew seemed to comprise of just 3 or 4 people but they really couldn't do enough to engage with people. Queues at the pool bar were long most of the day with only one person serving, but she was so polite and helpful, and waksy greeted with a smile. Very helpful and informative reception staff. The onsite shop is open almost all day and feels everything you'll need (not really any shops close by). Would definitely recommend this hotel. Remember - Lanzarote is known as the windy island, and for good reason!!! (This is why inflatables are not allowed around the pool!)

Great budget hotel
We had a really enjoyable stay. The rooms were spotless and cleaned to a high standard throughout our holiday. The pool was always clean and well maintained, making it a lovely place to relax.
The staff were all friendly, welcoming and worked hard to make sure guests had a good experience. The all-inclusive drinks were good, with plenty of choice, and the food was enjoyable too. There was enough variety at each meal that everyone could find something they liked.
Overall, this hotel offers great value for money. If you're looking for a clean hotel with friendly staff, a nice pool and a decent all-inclusive selection, I’d happily recommend it.
Good budget holiday - don't worry about the bad reviews.
Hi, this is just a quick post to dispel any fears people have who have booked to go to this hotel. After we booked my partner and I were very nervous after reading the reviews of the hotel however have just returned from a great family week away. I think generally people only take the time to write reviews if it is below average or exceptional and a standard experience gets forgotten.
Just as an overview this is not a 5 star luxury hotel however for a budget holiday it had everything we needed.
Food – This is not a world buffet or got rows and rows of choice however we all, including children managed to find enough food at every meal time to keep us well fed and happy. In relation to temperature, like any buffet this is about timing and getting there when the fresh food is put out.
Bars – Branded imported alcohol is not included however the lager is San Miguel and there are soft drinks, wine spirits, cocktails and coffee’s included. Sometimes there is a small queue as in our opinion they could do with having more staff but generally not more than a 5 minute wait.
Pools – The water is not FREEZING however the pools are not heated. As Michael McIntryre says, “It’s alright, once you’re in.” Slides are for under 12 years only and balls/floats are not allowed in the main pool risking the whistle of the lifeguards if rules are not followed. The deepest point is about 1.7m. Plenty of sunbeds which are locked until 10 however there is a weird thing that happens where people use tables to reserve their spaces. We never had an issues however getting a bed or space.
Location – It is a good 25 minutes walk to the resort centre however this is only 5 euros in a taxi which are very easy to get any time of the day. It is 15 to 20 minutes from the airport which was about 25 Euro’s each way. If your return transfers are more than £50, don’t bother, just get taxi’s. There is a bus stop about 5 minutes walk away which gives access to the island.
Entertainment – Could have been better, there are only about 4 staff but they do run games during the days such as water polo or darts and on a night there are singers, bingo, karaoke etc. This tends to finish about 2230-2300hrs and is average but does fill time.
We had no issues with the staff, reception were always helpful and the rooms were spotlessly clean and tidy and towels replaced every day if required.
Again this is not a luxury holiday but for a budget it is absolutely adequate. It is probably not a 4 star hotel but likely a 3.5 star hotel. Whilst I like to visit different places I would have no issue revisiting this hotel. Please don’t do what I did and read the reviews and completely stress about what your holiday would be like.

Awful food, dirty and moody staff
Went away with my mum for 5 days and we thought the hotel was absolutely awful. I was shocked as it’s supposed to be a 4 star but was more like a 2 star and that’s only as it looks nice…
Cleaning - we requested for our room to be cleaned after two days. Someone walked in, emptied the bins and that’s literally it. When we returned there was a used coffee mug still outside, tea bags and rubbish left on the side, dirt on side board not wiped. Squashed Cockroaches outside the room door and several up the hall. We wouldn’t have known they had been if the towels hadn’t been replaced. There was also a cockroach in our bathroom and several around the hotel.
Staff - were moody and over worked. They don’t know much information when you ask them questions or they tell you the wrong answers… we got sent to the incorrect bus stop and told the wrong entertainment info by reception…
Water - no bottled water supplied in the bedroom or anywhere which is odd for all inclusive... we were told we had to buy some from the shop or you have to fill a tiny paper cup up at reception and walk back to your room…
Pool - is nice to look at but smaller than the images. Temperature is good and we enjoyed the little jacuzzis though they had “reservation only” signs on. The only outside loo is by reception where there is a toilet anyway. There is no toilet on the other side by the bar, so it’s a long walk every time.
Food - Great if you like Pork everyday and every night. We had one steak night, which was like eating leather. No chicken. Only deep fried chicken dippers. Few veg. Seafood risotto and dry potato’s. Food is salty and gross. Overcooked. Same food most days… it really was awful. We ended up eating out and paying for food when we had paid for all inclusive…
Entertainment - The animation team was one solo lady who was moody. 5 days and we only saw her once asking people to play darts and Aqua gym. Adrenaline show in the evening was a man and a lady doing finger puppet shadows and balancing a wine glass on a knife. It was ok but I expected more… bit weird. The outside entertainment area was very small, not enough tables/chairs, people were sat on the floor and wall…
Bar - only one type of cocktail available per day. You have to drink that one, they won’t make another. Bar by the pool is ok, you have to pay for the nicer drinks, all inclusive snacks means - deep fried chicken nuggets, chips and nachos… every day.
Rooms - Coffee machine in room with no instructions on how to use. Only two pods/ two tea bags and you have to pay for the rest - all inclusive? Rooms looked nice, but they have cockroaches, and the cleaners don’t clean them until you check out. Also get used to being woken up early as they get out the leaf blowers and hedge trimmers around 8am.
Honestly, book somewhere else… I so wish we had.
