Hotel Riu Paraiso Lanzarote - All Inclusive

“Excellent service recovered lost phone”

Had a great week at the Riu Paraiso. The people are first class.

Had a great week at the Riu Paraiso. The people are first class. I lost my phone on the bus transfer to the hotel but when I realised I contacted Martin at reception who phoned the driver and he found it. Martin then volunteered to pick up the phone at the airport on his way to work . Really above and beyond. Holiday was brilliant ,entertainment staff very funny especially the other Martyn. Food and drinks great and I have never see an Aquafit class so big and enthusiastic. The beach was also handy and water nice and warm. Have been before and will go back again

I am not a fan of All-Inclusive, however a friend of mine kept going on about this place, se we decided to give it a go. Arrived on 3rd November by Private Transfer and got the booking process completed in less than 10 minutes. We where told that we where to get an upgrade and that's exactly what we got. We left our cases at the reception and headed to find our room, within 5 minutes of finding it, our cases where delivered to us. Room was fantastic and was more like an apartment, with a large living area and large wardrobes in each room and what an amazing sea view, it was amazing to wake up to that each morning. We went for our meal on the first night and everything was great, however by night 3, we had had enough of the All-Inclusive food and decided that it was time to start eating out. It is not the fault of RIU, we just like to get dressed up at night and head out for a nice meal, not keen on queuing for food. We would still award this hotel a 5 star review, mostly down to the staff and the fantastic facilities on offer. We spoke to loads of people who return to this hotel time after time and I can see why they do so. Got loads of the usual crackpots booking their sunbeds before 7am in the morning, however we never went without a sunbed, as there are plenty to go around at both pools, We did prefer the quieter pool on most days, however it is good to go the move lively pool on occasions, as the Animation team are brilliant and they made everyone join in. We will return, however not for a while. Before coming home we booked our holiday to Puerto Del Carmen for the same time next year, however we will be going self catering. As I pointed out, the staff, hotel grounds and Animation team are all first class and make this place what it is. Keep up the fantastic work RIU and we will return soon.

“Too busy in November ......”

Just returned from our first stay in a Riu, I have got to stay it was not what we were expecting. There was approximately 1200 guests stopping in the hotel, it was way too busy for us. I would say 80 percent German and the average age 60 upwards. The food wasn't bad but quite bland and you couldn't… more

Just returned from our first stay in a Riu, I have got to stay it was not what we were expecting. There was approximately 1200 guests stopping in the hotel, it was way too busy for us. I would say 80 percent German and the average age 60 upwards. The food wasn't bad but quite bland and you couldn't help think about germs with that many people and one hand wash station at the pool bar but none I could see at the main restaurant, it actually really put me off enjoying anything. The beers was OK, the wine and spirits awful, again there was self service which at first you think this is handy until you start seeing just how many people are using the optics etc, the animation team don't stop and work hard to make an effort with eyeryone, a lot love it, but around the pool it was so repetitive but enjoyed by many, again just not our thing, at night again same songs and singers but they had another room for kids shows which we didn't go in. You could get sunbeds but had to be careful which beds you select as a rude German will glady pull the sun covers over on the pigalos with zero regard for who they are shading lol, I have never seen so many sun haters in my life it became quite entertaining watching people being put in the shade with no warning as the covers closed. We started going out at night to Marcus's bar which is a right turn out of the beach gate and a 10 minutes walk, good food/drink and music, all in all not a bad hotel if your into animation teams, all you can eat drink, but for us in are fourtys who enjoy decent drinks, normal music around the pool in the day and decent music/drinks at night this isn't the place.
