La Casona de Yaiza is a very nice boutique hotel on inland Lanzarote…read more The building and surrounding complex is fabulous. I especially liked the wonderful flowering shrub that makes a beautiful tunnel at one side of the building. Te courtyard outside the reception office and dining room was also a pleasant spot to sit in. The courtyard was kept spotlessly clean. The room was cool, despite having no air-con. The bed was comfortable and the flat screen TV enabled us to watch TV and movies on our laptop (we brought the HDMI cable ourselves). There is WiFi too, which was available near reception and the dining room. The pool offered welcome break from the hot hot sun, especially after a day hike or a bike ride in the surrounding area. The breakfast buffet was quite good, a fine array of food to chose from. Dinner in their restaurant was nice, but the wine was quite expensive, by Lanzarote standards. It was lovely wine, but 21 EUR. The manager was a very nice guy to deal with. The waiter, a little odd, but was always paying attention to his diners. There are few things that make this review a four star instead of a five star: The lack of storage in the room. There was very little storage and one chest of drawers (which was in the bathroom) only had one drawer with a working handle. The lack of light in the bathroom. We could open the shutter, but the window was right by the courtyard and generally there was someone out there that could see in. The lack of staff at times, once when we arrived to check in and then during the day at the bar. But still overall a nice experience here upon our arrival to Lanzarote at La Casona de Yaiza.

Excellent hotel...quiet location. Probably not quite a 5 star since the room and parts of the hotel…read moreclearly need a little maintenance (chipped tiles etc.) Food is excellent - at there for 7 nights and decent variety in the buffet. I'd definitely stay there again for my winter holiday

I love The Volcan Lanzarote. Love the prime location overlooking Playa Blanca. Loved the creative…read moreaesthetic of the hotel (the architect was inspired by the idea of a volcanic island, so it's not designed like a boring conventional hotel, but rather the exteriors are shaped in the theme of a little town, with single villas, and buildings, a church, "parks" (green areas) and lakes/rivers (swimming pools). Really creative design, and stands out from all the other hotels on the island. The food is excellent, the buffet is massive, with limitless options. Fresh fish, seafood, pastas, meat, salads, an ample array of Spanish tapas, different kinds of coffees and teas, as well as a lavish dessert spread. I felt like Maria Antoinette eating miniature puff pastries and delicious concoctions, marshmallows and sprinkles. The pools showcase crystal clear, clean water. There are plenty of places to lay out and sunbathe, as well as hot tubs/jacuzzis, so you can enjoy the luxuries of the hotel while appreciating the gorgeous landscape of the ocean behind you. It's within minutes of walking into town, and it's close to what is arguably the most beautiful beach on the island "Papagayo Beach" My absolute favorite thing about this hotel is the CUSTOMER SERVICE. It's impeccable, spectacular! I stayed there 3 days for my cousin's wedding, and the quality of service was likely among some of the best I've ever received. The friendly disposition of the staff, the small details in the rooms, it really lives up to its 5 star rating! I absolutely recommend this hotel to visitors looking for a luxurious Lanzarote vacation.

A week in the sun - ahh you can't beat it…read more The Suitehotel Fariones is one of three Fariones accomodations in Puerto del Carmen- the others being a Hotel and an Apartment complex; both of which are close by. The Suitehotel comprises apartments with breakfast included, and the option to purchase dinner. The complex was in a great location, just off the main promenade in Puerto del Carmen. It was very architectural in design, and had some unusual features, although some of the corridors were a bit dark. We were located on the third floor and had three adults sharing a room. The complex is right next to the beach and our apartment overlooked the sea and the edge of the swimming pool. The room was bright and clean, and with maid service everyday it never felt grubby or unclean which can often be the case with some holiday apartments. The bedroom was spacious, as was the living area with seating area which doubled as the extra bed. The room did lack storage shelf/cupboard space to unpack, and some of the sharp edges and tiles weren't the comfiest to sit against. This particular room also had three steps to access the main living area, which wasn't a concern for three adults, but might have been an issue for families with younger children. The breakfast buffet was fantastic - a great selection of cereals, fruit, yogurt, meats and cheeses, muffins and patisseries, cooked breakfast including omelettes, sausages, pancakes (on some mornings) , fruit juices and more. I must admit on holiday we normally just opt for some light breakfast in the apartment, but we all really enjoyed setting ourselves up for the day by getting up for breakfast. A few minor criticisms were the terrible WIFI signal. However, the signs at the pool side informed us this was being worked on, and a new line being set up, so hopefully this should improve the connection. It was however, really frustrating - you would get connected then it would access a webpage and quickly boot you back out! The loungers at the pool were mega comfy - you could happily doze away here all day... that is if you're lucky enough to get one! From about 8am in the morning (yes I did say 8am) you need to be up and ready with your towel to reserve them for the rest of the day. Despite notices which say that there should be no reserving of chairs, this seemed to be completely ignored, and it was very frustrating to want a lounger for a few hours only to find they were all reserved,yet very few were being occupied. Many people just abandoned their towels there for the morning - then sauntered back later in the afternoon. I know this is an issue in most hotels but it would have been good to see management enforcing the rules. On the whole though, a great complex; clean, comfortable and definitely one of the best holiday accommodations I've stayed in.
