Livvo Volcan Lanzarote

Very nice hotel near Marina Rubicon in Playa Blanca. Great choice of breakfast items hot and cold which is replenished frequently right up until 11 am. Choice of heated and unheated swimming pools. Lots of sunbeds and umbrellas. Rooms are spacious, spotless with balconies and showers with really good water pressure. Beds are quite hard but you get used to it. Pillow menu. Cleaning staff come daily and mop floors and empty bins, tidy and replenish the tea, coffee and milk. Small kettle and fridge in rooms. Very good sound insulation in rooms. Entertainment in evening most night. Gym could do with a lot of improvement but otherwise it’s an excellent hotel.

Arrived around midday after an early start in the UK, and fortunately our room was ready. Offered a glass of cava on arrival and a biscuit. It was an interesting start- the entrance is through a church and has a big waterfall in the reception area. Very unusual but lovely. Shown to our room which was very spacious and had plenty of storage space, a separate seated area inside and outside, his and hers sinks and a separate toilet/bidet. Fridge in the room but didn’t have the minibar, but used this to cool sangria from the supermarket and store some lunch items. We stayed B&B- we usually go all inclusive- the breakfast was good, cooked items, fresh omelettes, pastries, meats/cheeses, fresh bread/rolls. Coffee and tea was good- also option for coffee pods. Fresh juices and cava/bellini/Bloody Mary! Fresh fruit, tinned fruit, multiple nuts and seeds, dried fruit and yoghurts- dairy free, lactose free. Water fountains with cool, fizzy and room temp water and ice dispensers located in several places around the resort, so bring your refillable bottle.

Rooms cleaned daily and had lovely Rituals toiletries. Towels were ok, but not as big/fluffy as some other 5*s. Pool towels change as often as you like. The gym was closed on our holiday which we weren’t advised of and would have used. We didn’t use the spa but looked reasonably priced for a hotel.

Plenty of space around the pool never trouble finding beds. Swam daily- it was warm enough to use the unheated pool.

We were offered a special price buffet evening meal if we booked 3 or more. We booked and went one evening but wasn’t really as good as the choice at breakfast given the number of restaurants within such close distance at the marina and playa Blanca. So we cancelled the others and paid full price for the one we had. I am vegetarian and there was very little in terms of hot food- plenty of salad and cheese which is what you can get elsewhere anyway. The puddings were delicious though.

Entertainment in the day was limited- this was lovely for a relaxing break, but some more yoga or aqua would have been appreciated to have the option of. There was evening entertainment but we didn’t go. Couldn’t hear it from room.

All the staff were helpful and friendly, when we settled the bill the night before as we were leaving early, were offered a picnic breakfast box- so when we checked out had a bottle of water each, yoghurts, donuts, ham and cheese sandwiches and fruit… lovely touch.

For what we paid it was good value and a lovely hotel. I would come back - We normally do January in canaries and this hotel has good placement for sunbeds out of the wind so would consider, although probably not as good as some 5*s we have stayed at.

Arrived late after delayed flight to a very warm and friendly welcome. Check in very efficient and upgraded to a club room which included an adults only area with a lovely warm swimming pool and plenty of sun beds. The room was large with a very comfortable bed and a separate seating area. The bathroom had two sinks and lovely rituals toiletries. Housekeeping were excellent Hotel is in a lovely location just steps from the marina with restaurants and shops, also a comfortable 25 minute walk to the harbour with lots of restaurants and shops. The hotel is made up of lots of different buildings and is very charming, there is also a lovely church that you walk through to reception. Stayed bed and breakfast, there is a good selection of food and drinks. The only comment I would have is that there is not always someone to greet you at breakfast and in the first day we were not aware that you get tea/coffee from machine as most other 5 star hotels I have stayed at have served this at the table (only a minor comment) Would 💯 recommend this hotel , just bear in mind there are lots of steps if less mobile. Also it was my partners birthday and the hotel kindly left a bottle of fizz, some sweets and balloons which was a lovely gesture and very much appreciated 😊
