Positives - staff friendly. Good breakfast. Large pool area. Uk channels on tv. Great location. Big balconies. Some people were getting free upgrades to superior rooms. We didn’t despite having issues with cockroaches, leaking air con, faulty keys etc To improve. Sunbed tables are filthy dirty and never cleaned. £30 deposit for 2 towels. Room cleanliness ok but not amazing. No entertainment on Saturday and Sunday. Rooms are very tired

“Not terrible, not fabulous”

Just returned from 9 days half board at THB Lanzarote! Food was ok, breakfast wasn’t great, lunch was ok and dinner was nice. Lots of meat, the pork/beef with gravy is delicious.

Just returned from 9 days half board at THB Lanzarote! Food was ok, breakfast wasn’t great, lunch was ok and dinner was nice. Lots of meat, the pork/beef with gravy is delicious. One point - never had rice pudding for desert, disappointed as this is my all time fave on holiday! All of the waiting staff were lovely. Location is brilliant, right on the beach front and also just next to the square which is fantastic in the evenings. Rosemary and Daniel were brilliant, I have no idea where the get the energy from but they were both fabulous for daytime entertainment. Daniel is hilarious! Rooms were kept clean and towels changed almost daily, cleaning staff were very nice too. Unfortunately the hotel is a bit run down so lots of flaky paint and our balcony door was difficult to open as the lock was extremely rusty. Our shower was a bit blocked too so wasn’t draining as quick as it should, and there was a sewage smell a couple of times. Cold water tap sometimes didn’t work so unsure if there’s a water pressure issue. I would advise not paying extra for the sea view, as despite it being lovely scenery the flaky paint isn’t great to look at & it’s also VERY windy most days so you can’t sit out for long! Wish we would have got a pool view room. Evening entertainment was ok but would have preferred more variety like comedians etc. Reception staff were all also very friendly and helpful. Overall a pleasant stay.

Have just returned from 10 days AI with my wife and two sons. As previous reviews have mentioned the staff from cleaners to waiting and reception staff are extremely polite and efficient.Their is also a lifeguard stationed by the pool each day which is also a great plus point. The food is largely ok,but could do with a bit more variation and also it would be nice to have all the main courses labelled rather than just some of them as not everything on the help yourself counter is obvious. Location is good as both near to the beach,shops and bars. Although we were AI I was disappointed that once the restaurant closed in the evening nothing was left open for late night snacks which I would have expected. The two daytime entertainment staff are very good with endless enthusiasm,but they are only there from Monday to Friday with no one else covering over the weekend period which again I would of expected. Now for my biggest gripe,the bar in what is named as the Brandy Well. Again you cannot fault the staff who are great,but whatever drinks they serve appear to have little if any alcohol in them.We are not big drinkers by any stretch of the imagination,but despite a number of Bacardi and Cokes and various cocktails we walked out as sober as when we came in. Also the bar stays open until 00:30,but for the last hour from 23:30 onwards you have to pay for any drinks you order. All in all I would not be inclined to stay here again on an All Inclusive basis,but with improvements in areas I have mentioned my opinion could change.

Unfortunately, where to start with this one … First of all, the good things & positives about this hotel Weather in sunny ☀️ Lanzarote , fabulous in Sep/Oct time .. Location, is in a good spot, near shops, bars, restaurants , pharmacy Overlooking the sea, with fabulous sea & bay views, staff were very friendly And kept very clean every day. The room maids done a great job in keeping the rooms to a very clean standard, fridge in the room worked very well & cold & the kettle in our room was fast to boil, evening entertainment was excellent and varied and bar staff very quick with the service too. And a good choice of drinks served. 🍹🍷🍸🥃 Finally, a room to shower & change in before your travel home. ~~~~~ ☀️ ~~~~~ So now, to the not so great , and we’ll below standard things Pillows in the rooms not comfortable, air con but no ceiling fans The food, breakfast was predictable, but definitely the best meal of the day Lunch & Dinner, not much choice of main meals, at times we found it hard to find much at all, and had bread & chips … ! … (hold on, this is supposed to be a very good All inclusive hotel that caters for everyone, but not here ) And even when we approached one chef to ask a question re the food He put his hand up , turned away & walked off ) there was many occasions in the dinning room that the staffing levels were very low, and inadequate The pool side snack bar , although served drinks very well, the food choice daily was minimal, and could definitely do with offering a wider choice and lighter snacks too, as not everyone wants a quarter pounder burger as a snack, overall, the food here needs a major revamp & choices looked into. Daytime Entertainment , or lack of ! …. When we looked at booking our trip we always look for daytime & evenings entertainment and although as stated the evening was very good, the daytime was mostly non existent For our first 5 days there was 1 man only, who put music on at 11am Then done a couple of activities in the morning then another couple of activities in the afternoon then was back to turn the music of by 5pm ish But those first 5 days there was no water activities (as stated ..) On our first weekend there, both Saturday & Sunday was “day off” ! No daytime entertainment, No music, just “quiet” , on our 6th day there 1 other entertainment lady returned from her holiday to do activities & in the pool & came round trying to get people to join in So, this hotel runs it seems on only 2 entertainment staff, who daily do a few activities, put the music on for 6 hours, and “everyone has both Sat & Sun off ! And yet like most other people here thought we had paid to come here For, all inclusive, daytime & evening entertainment with snacks too. Well don’t hold your breath, or wait for the excitement to begin, Because sadly it’s not here folks … So , would we come back, to Lanzarote yes just not to this poor hotel Would we recommend you come here, sadly no it just dosnt offer enough And there surely are far better places to go that would offer you more and appreciate you as a customer better than this hotel would. Finally, the “Brandy well pub” … service here was hit & miss with the waiting staff, if they can be bothered your get served otherwise , not Seating needs to be replaced, very uncomfortable and far too much Karaoke for us, so on the whole, sadly not great Thanks for reading our review and hope it helps you make your choice Regards Mark x
