If you like sunshine, surfing and hate rainy days, this Island is already everything you need. If…read moreyou also want a 5 star luxury hotel with multiple swimmingpools and restaurants, spa, fitness studio and some great hotel rooms, the Atlantis Bahia Real is your choice ... also because it is also the only 5 star hotel around here. But make no mistake, the entrace area is plastered with consequent hotel and experience awards. The service is everything you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Most rooms have a sea view, although the are some with view of the pool area or the street. There are also family suites, so there will be children at the pool area. The Spa area is for adults only. There also is a large stretch of beach just at the hotel with a chill out lounge bar and a bistro bar belonging to the hotel. The beach itself is public.

We went in early September from rainy England. Totally in need of sun and relaxation, we were…read morehoping for a lovely resort. And we found it. We ended up in an ocean facing junior suite that was also very close to the entrance to the pool area and buffet. PERFECTION. The suite: 1. The view was lovely. Gorgeous. 2. Comfy couch to sit on while my husband was napping or showering or doing his own thing. 3. Very comfy and HUGE bed with nice linens. 4. Bathroom shower was so wonderful and strong. We seriously took two to three showers a day (it might be because our current shower is awful). 5. Bathroom products were lovely. 6. High ceilings, great light, wonderful closets, etc. I can't think of a negative thing about the suite. Pool: There are three pools. One is for little kiddos. Very cute. As there weren't a lot of little ones around at this time it was quite quiet. The second is a larger pool which appeared to be slightly salty and colder than the third pool. Very refreshing after heating up in the sun. Third pool was cool but comfortable and a nice size. There were plenty of seating areas around the pool at this time, though I can imagine it could get packed at the height of the season. Breakfast buffet: Amazing choice. You can get omelettes cooked to your own specification or choose so many other types of meals. And free prosecco was flowing. Yes, I took advantage! I felt like I never ran out of a different sort of food to eat every day. Dinner: We chose not to go half-board, but did go to one of the dinner buffets. It was lovely. Like the breakfast buffet there was a huge amount of choice and the food was quite good. You did have to pay separately for wine (even if you were on the 'meal plan') from what I could tell, but the meal itself was not a bad price for what you got. We also went to one of the speciality restaurants, Las Columnas, which is the Spanish restaurant. We had the 8 course tasting menu. It was very special and I'd recommend it. The Spa: We spent a lot of time at the spa. You get to go for free once a day and we did. We spent a lot of time in the indoor pool where there are bubbling and spraying things that just relax your body and shoulders. There are saunas, hot tubs, etc. You can also arrange and pay for things such as massages & manicures. We both got a massage and it was one of the best we've had. Not inexpensive, but worth it (London prices for sure). The only downside to the entire place was the beach - not really meant as a place to swim, but it's good for relaxation. You can get a drink delivered to your chair, which is a nice touch. We choose instead to head south to other beaches via bike (though you could easily walk). So, there it is. My review. Go there. Definitely. Go. And relax!

The rooms are large and inviting, with a patio/balcony, comfortable beds, and large bathrooms. Everything is kept clean and tidy, and they have even tried to stop the Germans from reserving sun chairs. ;-) (Although it's working so-so since it's hard to enforce without angering guests. There is an international and an Italian restaurant which are always open, plus a snack bar with food. They also have an oriental and a Mexican restaurant, but those require advance reservations. I recommend making the reservations already at check in. The pools are nice, and the best part is an adult only pool for us who didn't bring ours. And the all inclusive beer and drinks are good. On the back side, the food is not very varied, and the evening entertainment is aimed for kids I recommend a visit to the nearby beaches. And don't rent a car from your tour operator, but rather use the one in the reception.

The Royal elite room have just been updated and they are nice, but I hear the standard rooms need some tlc. The public areas need some updating the Royal elite lounges both adult only and family, felt like an airport lounge. The food was good, enjoyed eating in the Royal elite restaurant more than the main restaurant or the fusion restaurant. There plenty of rules, signs about rules, but the staff never enforced them. We soon discovered, rules were there to be broken by the majority of the hotel.

The rooms are absolutely spotless and the decor spectacularly modern. There are two pool areas (one for relaxing, which rarely has a child in sight, and the other one with lots of loud music and children playing). We've been here for two weeks over the Christmas and the dinner they provided on Christmas Day was absolutely out of this world!! The food in general in the hotel is as fresh as you're ever gonna get. It's also really close by to the main strip and the beach (less than a 5 min walk). We got half board which was plenty as we like to get out for at least one meal a day and try the local restaurants. that said,lots of other couples we've befriended have gone all inclusive and are very happy that they did. Five big MASSIVE Yelp Stars for H10. We couldn't recommend this place more and will be DEFINITELY coming back next year again.

The complex is clean and well positioned, but it was pretty much a bussmans holiday. Think the TV show Benidorm, but with more tattoos. We went all inclusive as we were budgeting, but beware the AI is not as you know it from the long haul 5* destinations. Brekkie is 8-10am, typical greasy "English" fry up stuff, continental selection (though the meats were the cheap reformed kind), fruit (banana, orange, apples), yoghurt, breads, vending machine juice and hot drinks, and a "diet breakfast" selection of pastries, cakes, criossants and green tea (!!). Lunch 1-3pm sees soup, hot food, salad bar, jelly, ice cream, fruit (addition of melon here!), and waiter service for drinks. Dinner 7-9pm is the same set up as lunch. If you want premium drinks, or any food outwith these times, you must pay. 20€ a week per person for a wifi I was told never works (I got a SIM from Three to use abroad - magic!). 15€ if you want a remote control for your TV and 26€ if you want any English speaking channels. We never watched TV so not an issue. If you have kids, there's no kids club or activities and the entertainment is pretty poor. Despite the hotel saying not to, everyone reserves a lounger. Get in early. I'd stay here again as a base as its located in the nicer end of town, but for me, it falls short authentic experience when it comes to food.

If I had one minor thing to say is the buffet at lunch and dinner is a bit on the bland side-but it's still definitely worth getting the All-Inclusive package!

Our excursion to Timanfaya left little time for gift shopping but I had spied some nice volcanic/olivine jewellery, salt and Lanzaloe which I thought looked like decent items to take home. Unfortunately, all the shops we popped into in Puerto Del Carmen were full of the usual generic crap which neither of us were willing to buy. I had spied this shop the other day and noticed it looked like a mecca for local produce. Correct! A plethora of Lanzarote wine, jewellery, cosmetic/toiletry products etc awaits! We managed to get the 3 things we were looking for, plus hot Mojo Sauce from neighbouring Gran Canaria. Would highly recommend popping in here and taking home some decent gifts rather than the awful, run of the mill tat that almost all the other shops offer.

It is however still the best placed hotel in the area and the pool area is lovely and it has its own beach. The big let down to this place is it's about 20 years behind the times with no air con, a look of the early 80's about it and staff that don't smile but still expect a tip. It's a real shame as they are in a great spot but their still charging like their a 5 star. Best thing to do with this hotel is avoid it until their price goes down or the quility of the hotel goes up.

I'll break it down into a few categories: Sport: - I'm probably missing a few things, but there are tennis courts, squash courts, volleyball, soccer, a FULL track, golf range, multiple lap pools, road/mountain bike rentals, a gym, multiple exercise studios and loads of classes - Surfing and golf can be arranged off-site Resort: - Grocery on-site if you want to cook or when you need to buy a gallon of water - Rooms are suite-style with kitchens, dining tables couches, etc. No TV, but fairly solid wifi. - 15min from good surfing areas and a small town - Several restaurants, a buffet meal plan, a bar, a store, car rental on-site - Pools... just to chill. Hey, you're working out all day, lay out a bit! - Activities... that aren't all sports! Had a nice wine pairing dinner and there were several other activities each night Overall, if you need an exotic vacation but hate to leave your training behind, this is your happy place.

This is a review for Hotel Volcan Lanzarote in Playa Blanca. I just returned from a 5 day trip and…read moreI am so happy I chose to stay here. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are huge. As soon as we arrived we received a welcome drink and were promptly brought to our beautiful room. In the booking form they asked our reason for travel and as my partner and I were celebrating our fourth anniversary, I wrote it down. When we got to our room there was a bottle of champagne waiting for us with a note from the management wishing us a happy anniversary, it was lovely. Throughout the trip the front desk was accommodating--bringing us a corkscrew for a bottle of wine we brought back to drink on the balcony and quickly cleaning up glass when I clumsily dropped and broke a glass cup next to the bed. There is a huge breakfast buffet every morning which was pretty good with the usual components of eggs, bacon, and more free champagne if you're into that. The pool is absolutely stunning with many chairs around it for tanning and a little place to get food. It's a quick walk down to the marina which has tons of restaurants and then about another 15 minute walk along the water to get to the bigger town of playa blanca. What I really loved about this hotel was how close it was to activities while still being tranquil enough where you can hear the water while quietly sipping wine on the balcony. The fridge they supply is empty so you can go to the shop but also has an option for them to fill it for you if you want. The room also has tons of amenities including a candle, a reed diffuser, shoe cleaner and then the normal room amenities of shampoo and conditioner etc. The spa is lovely with a giant bubbling pool and a steam room and a sauna. If you book a treatment then you can go for free that day. There is a bar in the hotel which has activities including pool and even a piano singer one night who was great. Overall the only parts I didn't love were that there was no beach belonging to the hotel, and that the king bed is just two individually made beds pushed together (which I've now learned is actually the norm in the canaries). Ifyou have a car definitely take a day trip to Papagayo which is very close by. A great place to celebrate our anniversary and truly a relaxing experience.
