Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park

We returned to this hotel for the 5th time at the end of June - beginning of July. After thinking “We should try somewhere else” we were so glad we didn’t. After hours of scrolling through different options, we couldn’t find anywhere that matched this hotel for overall quality of food, drinks, pools and location. This years holiday was outstanding. We love to see the same team are still there, especially in the Star Prestige area. The bar staff are a breath of fresh air, always happy and helpful and great fun!! And then there is Esther….what can I say, that hasn’t already been said. She is incredible!!! The whole area comes to life when she is around. Her enthusiasm for her activities is infectious. I normally avoid anything energetic but you just can’t help but join in and I’m so glad I did, it was great fun!!! My daughters really enjoyed her yoga and stretching classes. Esther….we love you!!😍 Now onto the food and drinks. We stayed on an All Inclusive basis, which is worth every penny!! We have stayed in many hotels but this is THE BEST hotel for food we have ever experienced. Not many hotels offer fillet steak and grilled lobster in the buffet restaurant. The professional chefs asked how you would like your food cooked and trust me, it was cooked to perfection. One night, I couldn’t resist having a second helping of fillet steak as it just melted in my mouth 🥰 All of the drinks are of premium quality, especially the Baileys, which I’m sure comes in half a bottle measures!! I also appreciated the Management team, walking around and interacting with guests, checking everything was ok. I did have an issue with mosquitoes this year (no fault of hotel obviously) but they supplied plug in adapters in our rooms as soon as I requested them, via the app, which was much appreciated. To sum our 5th holiday here…it was perfect and we will look forward to returning for many years to come!!

Third visit but will be a while before we are back. We normally go for Christmas but this time decided to try a summer booking. We booked Star Prestige Side View rooms as usual and couldn't fault them. Again, the staff are great and literally make the holiday what it is and the food is some of the best I have had on an all inclusive holiday. The gripe I had this year is the amount of people that reserved sun beds in the star prestige area and then didn't come down until lunchtime. Such selfish behaviour, especially when there are always beds available but they just wanted the best ones for the half day they could bothered to sit there. Sure I read somewhere that the hotel says towels will be removed but that never happened once the whole time we were there - very disappointing that the hotel doesn't enforce that and remove the towels.

A 20 minute walk to the centre of Playa Blanca, this hotel has 2 different vibes. A family friendly main section with it own pools restaurant and entertainment, then the Star Prestige horseshoe which is adults only with its own facilities, so there really is something for everyone. The food and drinks are of very good quality and choice. We would have liked the star prestige restaurant access doors to have been open at lunchtime, as those with poor mobility found walking around and then through the main dining room a bit far. A special mention for Raule, Jan and the others at the pool bar, Esther, Alex and Sandra for providing non stop activities and the cleaners who keep the rooms and grounds spotless. The standard bedrooms are surprisingly small with not enough storage and not enough space to prise twin beds apart, but are comfortable. The bathroom is great but the one gripe is that the floor of the shower is smooth and therefore slippery.
