Last Minute Holidays to Lanzarote

Paul Slater

Excellent hotel. You have to go preferred club though to get this. Great breakfast buffet in the morning as well as a room of food available for preferred club members throughout the day. Only breakfast buffet where I have been offered more than 3 pieces of bacon! Room was very comfortable. Huge TV and fantastic shower. Only issue I had was the walls are a bit thin and could hear the TV from next door one night. Think it was an old couple who were a bit deaf. The spa and sauna was very good. Steam room is spacious and perfect temperature. Well worth getting unlimited access pass for. Great swimming pools and service by the pool. Didn't eat at the restaurants as there is plenty of places nearby within walking distance. Bus stop for excursions is very close too which is convenient. We stayed over Xmas and there was lots of entertainment put on for kids so good place to go if you have little ones.

We had a lovely time. Staff very friendly, very nice food great for kids and grown ups (pizzas were awesome!) pool was lovely. It was a shame the jacuzzi was closed all week and the sandpit and a few other bits needed love. Location is good but not if you have any mobility issues just because shops are down a hill into town. Recommend!

We stayed at Dreams, Playa Blanca during January 25 in a Preferred Club Ocean View room, bed and breakfast. In summary, we enjoyed it so much we rebooked for next year whilst we were still there which enabled us to check all room views etc. Check In was smooth and welcoming with a glass of Cava and a nice cool flannel. We were shown to our room and the luggage was taken for us. Features of the room explained The room was very spacious with a massive, comfortable bed furnished with crisp white sheets and a choice of pillows. The mini bar fridge had a couple of beers, water and soft drinks which got replenished daily as part of the room cost. The same applied to the capsule coffee machine. The bathroom has an excellent walk in shower and a good supply of large, good quality towels and a couple of bathrobes. We could have managed without the scales as we ate so well whilst there we didn’t want to know. The shower made an interesting whining noise when in use but not a problem really. Daily cleaning and bed making was spot on. Everything always seemed fresh. The private patio with table and chairs had a sea view and really caught the sun in the afternoon. I have to say the security on the patio door was only a small hook which seemed a little inadequate though there is a safe included in the room. Breakfast in the Preferred Club breakfast room was near perfect for us. We were shown to a table, served coffee and juice and served ourselves from the vast array of food on offer. Fruits, pastries, cheese, meats, cereals, fresh crepes, freshly cooked omelette, eggs and bacon - the list goes on. Just avoid the baked beans which were low quality. Everything else was great. We didn’t eat main meals at the hotel because we enjoy finding local restaurants. Outside the grounds are well kept and clean. There are several heated pools with a couple reserved for the Preferred Club and have Balinese beds for hire at extra cost. All other sunbeds and beach towels are included. We tended to use The Sugar Reef pool as it was quieter than the others. All the pools have a view off the sea except the kids pool with slides. I’m told there’s a gym but being a confirmed gym dodger I can’t comment. There's a spa which we never got round to using, maybe next time. I’ve seen discussions as to whether the hotel is really 5 star or 4 star but I don’t really care, it matched the descriptions and we had a great time there. The staff everywhere in the hotel were friendly, charming, helpful and well presented. They really made us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. They really seem to understand customer service. Everyone was great but a special mention goes to Martha who checked us in and arranged for a complimentary Balinese bed for a day.

Chris Baxter

A beautiful hotel with professional, courteous and attentive staff. We received a very warm welcome from the start. The hotel is spotlessly clean and even smelled delightful. The gardens and pool areas were maintained to a very high standard. We would highly recommend the preferred option to take advantage of the better facilities and perks. The spa is a great addition and reasonably priced for the aqua circuit. Breakfast in the preferred area was exceptional with a huge choice from the usual cooked items, fresh fruits and continental options. Well worth the upgrade.

andrew cohen

Happy with room, bar facilities, location, pools etc. Kids pools particularly good with attentive guard (even when parents around). Al la cart restaurants vary from OK to disappointing. One night a dry burger and bun with no relish at all was sent back as cold and the replacement was cold as well. The food in the buffet was consistently good so we ate there despite having access to ALC with our all-inclusive package. Would happily go back.

Ross Whitehead

We’ve just returned from a stay at Blue Sea Costa Teguise Gardens and it was an experience to say the least. If you're considering this hotel, I strongly suggest you lower your expectations. The rooms are very outdated, no AC, and the mattresses are sat off the floor on what to be looked like ironing boards. The hotels main problem is it attracts a very specific type of clientele. Picture groups of people and family's straight out of a Jeremy Kyle show—loud, rude, swearing around children abusing the all-inclusive drinks all day and completely uncaring about anyone around them. It made the whole atmosphere unbearable at times and for that reason we spent every day on trips out or to the beach away from the hotel. As for the food, although it was edible. It was a bland, unappetising mess—chips and bread were the only things you could reliably count on. Everything else was just slop. We don’t mind basic food, but this was below even that standard. If you’re booking this at a very very cheap price, you might be able to tolerate it, but DO NOT book through a holiday company or travel agent that hikes up the price. We paid nearly £1900 for 5 nights here, and it wasn’t worth a quarter of that. It was a complete rip-off. On a positive note, the staff were very friendly and smiley and worked hard, but unfortunately, that couldn’t make up for the outdated rooms and food. Definitely not a place we will be returning to. It would be classed as a 2 star in the UK.

Phil Burge

Service overall was very good. Samara and Eli on Reception were fantastic, nothing was too much for them, very professional. Hamza barman of a night was very efficient and friendly. Our maid Pepi was lovely, would always knock the door 1st. She did a great job, room was always spotless.

Dianne Fisher

There’s no specific reason for the 4 star but didn’t think a 5 star rating was required because it wasn’t the best of the best. Me and my partner wanted a get away over new year without the kids and this came up the lowest priced. Which was then all inclusive! Not something we were looking for ideally. From the outside and in some places it could be taken as a 4 star (I’ve stayed in some dives). The reception was clean, the staff were lovely and the cleaners cleaned up every other day. Never felt like our belongings were at any risk too. The food wasn’t the best but I’m actually very fussy. It was toast for breakfast and chips and bread for dinner. I never fancied anything other than that. There were a few things my partner went for but personally I wouldn’t touch. We decided to eat out each night though because of the food. It was just a batter choice. We didn’t take advantage of the all inclusive alcohol as we’re not huge drinkers but had some coca-cola or sprite in the day. The Entertainment wasn’t amazing. Felt sort of like a low budget hotel entertainment. We only watched a little on 2 of the nights. It was a little disturbing when the drag act took their clothes off while changing out of their makeup. Felt a little like ‘WTF did we just watch!’ The Pool area was okay. Sun loungers were unlocked around 10am but should definitely be earlier as people are waiting around and the sun is out. People just want to chill out! The pool seemed quite clean. Normally, I speak to a lot of people round the pool area but it felt very much like no one wanted to speak to each other. Another guest also made the same comment to me. The area is quite nice. It’s out of the way of all the hustle and bustle of the square, but not too far of a walk. If you can find the short cut paths down to the beach/square. They are stoney paths. Would probably return again if it was a really good deal but not paying a lot of money.

Michael Falber

The staff can't do enough for you, they work so hard and always with a smile. Spotlessly clean. Rooms are adequate but a little dated, typical Spanish electrics. Can't hide the fact that it's looking a bit tired. The food started off great but is there a different chef on the weekend as it became inedible. All in all, would I go back, probably not, but not for any lack of effort from the staff, the bosses need to invest some money into renovating the facilities, even then. It's a bit of a hike to the main square if you're retired, like us, otherwise a taxi is only five minutes out or you're a bit younger. However, for what we paid, it was tremendous value for money.!

Ben England

We stayed here on a 4 day trip, 2 adults, Thursday - Monday We arrived a bit later than expected due to a flight delay. On arrival the reception staff were helpful and efficient. The young lady on the desk checked us in, gave us our wrist bands and our room key and showed us a map to our room. She explained meal times and the fact that we needed a euro deposit for a plastic cup. We walked to our room which was up on the third floor. We opened the door and it was hot and a bit stuffy but it had been a hot day so we just opened the sliding door to the balcony and the windows.. and looked for the air con - which there isn't - and panic set in a bit because it was really really hot.. however with the bedroom windows wide open there was a lovely breeze throughout.. however every now and then there is a bit of a whiff of sewer.. but it goes as quickly as it comes and isn't a huge deal We went to the bar and got a drink and then decided to call it a night as we had a long day travelling. Breakfast on Friday morning was not great at all. We were down for breakfast as soon as it opened and most of the food was cold. We quickly discovered that as the food was cycled what was coming out was hot.. so first piece of advice.. don't go for your meal as soon as it opens as the food won't be hot. The sunbeds are locked until 10 - however they are unlocked about 9.45 or so.. but in lieu of sunbeds being reserved the chairs from the pool bar are moved into the spots people want and then exchanged for sunbeds when they're unlocked. We were a bit late to the party on the Friday morning but there was loads of space for us to put a couple beds - this may not be the case during peak season but given we are just out of season it wasn't a problem. Lunch on Friday was the best meal we have had so far... however the lamb chops that were freshly cooked on Friday lunch time have since featured Friday evening at dinner in a sauce, and then they appeared AGAIN Saturday lunch time looking worse for wear again in a different sauce.. the same thing with the pork ribs that were first featured Friday lunch and again Friday dinner and Saturday lunch - all in different forms.. other guests had complained to reception about the quality of the food and were told that there are restaurants a short walk from the hotel if they didn't like the food. The evening entertainment is twice a week on Sunday and Thursday - again this may be because we are just out of season but on the evenings in between there is bingo, but this is paid at €5 each. Breakfast is hit or miss.. sausages that are a little too pink inside for our liking and pancakes on one day.. The pool bar looks nothing like pictures that appear on the booking sites.. they serve a couple cocktails but there is nothing saying about them, we had to ask.. the snacks are rolls made from the ones that were out for breakfast and a few pastries, also from breakfast - and once they're gone they're gone. The other pictures that the hotel provide to the booking sites are also questionable.. and a bit dated. The seats by the pool bar are not those shown, the booking site also shows a sauna and hot tub.. they're not here.. another booking site also showed a squash court.. which isn't here. The garden part of the hotels name is not quite as good looking as the pictures show. And while we appreciate that hotels have to upsell themselves, some of the pictures being used are just misleading. We managed to get this hotel free using rewards from a booking site - however if I had paid for the hotel I would be really upset.. it was just a weekend away for my wife and I but there is nothing for children here.. Sorry to say we won't be returning.

I recently stayed at this hotel and unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations . The decor was incredibly outdated, and rather than giving off a nostalgic charm, it just looked worn down and dirty. The rooms seemed to be in disrepair, with furniture showing visible signs of age and wear. The beds were uncomfortable, which made for a less-than-restful night's sleep. The towels provided were old and ragged, further contributing to the sense of neglect. To make matters worse, the chair covers had clearly not been cleaned in some time. For an all-inclusive 3-star hotel, I expected at least the minimum standard of cleanliness and comfort, but this place missed the mark entirely. The overall condition of the hotel made it feel more like a budget option rather than something that should be considered a respectable stay. Definitely not up to par for the price. I would not recommend this hotel unless there are significant improvements made.

Elaine Pilkington

Great hotel, rooms basic but clean, cleaned every other day. Great selection of food at breakfast and lunch 😋 We ate out in the evening 😋 Staff very friendly and helpful. Bit of a treck up hill from the old town but this wasn't an issue for us. Definitely be back, thanks for a great week 💯💥💯💥💯

Corey Hughes

nice, quiet hotel. Rooms were tidy and cleaned every 2 days. All staff were a joy, particularly bar staff. Drinks on the all inclusive were of a wide range and tasted as you’d expect. only slight let down was the limited range of food at the hotel, although the quality of the food wasn’t awful. quite far walking to the main part of PDC but very accessible with a taxi only taking 5 or so minutes. The area surrounding is very hilly so not ideal for people who have mobility issues. overall, a good experience with only the food slightly knocking the score. Would recommend.

linda dunne

this was our second stay and we loved our second stay at this lovely apartments staff were so nice, couldn't do enough for us. Jose on the desk is so nice and helpful. Bobby in the bar is such a gentleman, helpful and kind with the best smile, he would just make your day. I just wish it was closer to the strip. but taxi is easy to get. rooms could do with an update but very clean We will be back

Sharon Salisbury

Room was clean and adequate for what we needed went all-inclusive food was good they had a good variety each meal time. Drinks where good, Staff where helpful and friendly. Pool area was clean and tidy. Nice walk to the bars and restaurants. All in all decent place would go back 👍

Steven Croan

A Mixed Bag at the Mirador hotel for ourselves for a wee one 1st holiday abroad. The Mirador offers a comfortable stay, especially for families with young children. Our modern ground-floor room was perfect, overlooking the pool and equipped with a bath and a large travel cot. While the evening entertainment for adults was enjoyable, the children's entertainment started too late and was rather underwhelming. The hotel's dining experience was inconsistent. Breakfast was excellent, but lunch and dinner were disappointing. The themed nights, like the Spanish night, were okay but lacked flavor and variety. We found ourselves eating out frequently. The staff, however, were consistently friendly and helpful. The hotel's location is ideal for those seeking a quieter stay near the beachfront.

Georgia Barrett

This is are second time here and it has been amazing! The location is brilliant, there is a lovely walk down to the nearest town with shops and restaurants and the harbour. The food isn’t amazing but what do you expect at a buffet all inclusive, it is definitely better than some of the other hotel food I have had. Everywhere is really clean.

Ann Teader

The only thing that let's this hotel down is the food. Especially the main courses. It's a shame as the hotel has many good points. We had a junior suite which was fab with a brilliant view from the balcony

Richard Buckley

We Had an excellent week here, first off the staff are amazing. Marcos in reception so friendly, the entertainment staff exceptional, the food was fantastic, albeit it would be nice if they had vegetarian symbols, so I didn't have to ask each time I wanted to eat something. The maids kept the rooms very clean. We went half board, because only had a couple of drinks in the evening but if I was paying for all inclusive would be slightly annoyed by the ques at the bar.

Jennifer Dykwer-Newsome

We enjoyed a ten day stay here with our 5 year old little girl. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our stay. On arrival, there was plenty of parking, including disabled bays and we were greeted by a very welcoming chap (Marcus?) who offered a drink and food. Our family annex was great, it was very spacious with a living area which we liked. It had a fridge and cooking facilities which gives the option of eating in if needed. There are two lovely pools, one more for children. The sunbeds do get reserved which is annoying especially when they aren't being used. Saying this, we could always find one if needed, which wasn't often as we were always in the pool not sitting around it. There were lots of toys and inflatables left by other families which was good so we didn't have to buy any. Breakfast consisted of: Cereals Pastries Yogurts Cooked breakfast Fruit Lots to choose from to fill you up for the day. Lunch - can't comment on this because we were never in for lunch. Evening meal: Salad Rice Pasta Various meat Fish Chips Bread Different selections on different nights e.g. pizza, Chinese, BBQ pork Desserts Again, loads to choose from to suit your taste and always something for children to enjoy. The staff work really hard and are quick to clear plates and keep the place clean and running efficiently. The overall stay was fabulous. The hotel is clean and run by hard working, friendly staff. There were some wonderful musicians playing. Kids disco is at 8.45pm which we found was a bit late for our daughter, and an earlier start might have worked better. There was a kids club during the day but we were always out so never used it. There is a lovely walk on the front with great fews out to sea. Great location, quiet and easy to access the local beaches etc We hired a car to go and explore in each day but there are shuttle buses to access the beach daily. Check out at 12 was nice so we had time to enjoy breakfast and a final play in the pool before we left. In all, a great stay, I'd definitely recommend this hotel to other families.

Jason Fernandes

All the staff were fantastic. The bar staff were wonderful, and generally there wasnt a member of staff from kids team, cleaning, management, dining hall, etc who wasn't courteous and professional. Really felt the staff knew us by name and face. Furthermore... issues & requests were swiftly dealt with. The hotel stay ticked many of my boxes...great location, clean pools, safety for my kids. I would recommend the hotel for a family and for holiday periods. Would ask that you strengthen the WIFI in the dining hall; sometime it didn't work at all which is an issue for parents looking after kids with devices.

Killian De Burca

Stayed here last June with 2 kids 6 & 8. Had a great time. Staff are so friendly and the guys in charge of the kids clubs and entertainment were amazing. Good selection of food some days better than others but overall quite good. Drinks were great and bar staff were great. First time we stayed here and will definitely return. Well done to all who made our trip so enjoyable.

Lisa M

Good customer service, good location but room need to be refurbished, it looked dated, shower is very week, bath tub is old, not well clean. The room is not cleaned properly every day. I booked for 3 guest but only have blankets, towels, dental kits for 2 people only , I asked them then they provided 1 more so there is no issue with it. No slippers, no dressing gown for guest. Plates and cups are not clean, you can see the tea, coffee mark. Buffet is not that great in my opinion.

Sean Pearse Fullerton

Loved our stay here. Great quality food and all premium drinks included. Nice relaxed atmosphere and great pools and entertainment for kids.

Lisa B

Absolutely loved this hotel and the staff were exceptional. The room was cleaned frequently and the location was ideal - so close to the beach and gorgeous promenade walks. The hotel also has adult activities which were fun. Special shortout to Alvaro who was so accommodating throughout

Lust for Life

Room was really nice. Clean resort. (but I would like the toilet in the room to be cleaned better!). Every staff member was friendly (altho reception was less enthusiastic). We had breakfast and dinner at resort. Plenty to choose from. One better than the other. But if you don't appreciate this, you probably got 7 stars at home...🤐😂 4 Different pools. We had a room at the pool with animation team (from 3:00 PM). We like hearing people having fun so for us this was great. If you like peace and quiet ask for a room near the 18+ pools (who looked like retirement home). The resort is situated in a place where there is little in terms of bars etc. But for €5-7 for a taxi you're at the more busy part of the boulevard or the old town. The beach is walking distance. Perfect clean beach. I will definitely book this hotel again

Ewelina Adamska

I stayed in this hotel as a single mum of three. The mini club has absolutely saved my life... I could go to the pool, enjoy my day, eat delicious food from the snack bar, have a drink or two... and my little ones were totally taken care of.. Whenever I would go to visit them, they were dancing, perfectly happy and content... The animator Natalie was especially amazing with my moody, often cheeky 5 year old daughter.. She could tame her in a away I, as a mother cannot !!!! All the kids loved her and talk about her to this day! I cannot recommend this hotel enough, especially if you're a parent and need a wee bit of a break !

Nessa Hubbard

Third visit to this hotel, we love it here. Clean and welcoming, good food, choice of pools and lots of space. Based in Puerto Del Carmen, and just a few minutes walk from the beach, it is a haven of peace. The All Inclusive restaurant has a wide variety of choices, although we never made it to lunch as we were always too full from breakfast! The pools are salt water, which is less drying on the skin and so much nicer to swim in than a chlorine based pool. The reception staff are so friendly and helpful, as are the restaurant and bar staff. Such a wonderful place, we will be back again next year!

Giovanna Moretti Leask

This is our second year coming here and will be booking again next January. We find the location very good, decent rooms, very good selection of food on the buffets and friendly staff. On the topic of staff, a special mention to the entertainment team: they all do a fantastic job with the activities and the shows but also are very friendly and make the stay even more special. Lucia, Francy, Tony, Angelina and Jeremias were all excellent by the pool side and in the games area. So good to see Papa and Zach again from last year too. Thank you all for being such a great team. Also a special thanks to the Maris bar staff and the front of house staff in the main restaurant

Leanne Magnus

We stayed in this hotel for a week in October. We could not fault it. Everything was wonderful. The food was great - lots of choice and the snack bar was always open. The pools were brilliant- very clean. My toddler loved the splash area. The park was super and kept my little one busy. Although my toddler was too young to attend the mini club unsupervised, we supervised him and he was involved with some art activities. There were also other toys to play with which he enjoyed. The entertain staff were very welcoming and friendly. The mini disco in the evening was so much fun. The entertainment in the evenings was good (a couple of shows were a little random but still good). We had a room which backed onto the splash pool (I recommend asking in advance for one of these rooms as it was so helpful). The location is right by the beach, bars and restaurants too for when we wanted to venture out. We will definitely be returning again! Thank you so much to the wonderful staff.

Russell Webb

Spent Christmas 2024 here. Location is good. Staff are all friendly and helpful. Food in restaurant was better than many say. Breakfast plenty of choice. Evening meal-lots of salad, hot dishes and fish or meat from the hot plate. Yes the rooms could do with a refurb, not as bad as some say though. Peaceful place not too much noise.

Christine Sykes

Well didn't know what to expect but the apartment is brilliant, everything you need with own outside space with table,chairs and parasol. Reception staff are lovely and so helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Liz Walton

Great location. From our upstairs beachfront apartment we could see the sea as well as the hotel's lagoon. Apartment nothing fancy, but spacious and had all we needed. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Again, nothing fancy, but nice and with local as well as "international" dishes. Staff all friendly, despite being overworked at times. Particular praise to Juan, Noel and Veronica for their friendliness.

Simon Geoghegan

We visited here to see how accessible it is for a wheelchair as we were looking to book here in the future. Sadly the ramps and bridge are ridiculously steep you would struggle to even get up these in a decent mobility scooter. This hotel is flagged as wheelchair friendly on many holiday websites but it is far from it. You can't get anywhere near the beachfront and even if you do you will not be able to go the coastal route into Costa tiguse as it's sandy and rough ground until you get back onto a pathway again. Several pools and the private beach looked impressive sadly we cannot visit.

Michael Norris

This place is awful. Compare these apartments to cells in a prison, I would say the prison is far better. We booked a apartment on Mia tia beach front. Well the room may have been in good condition 10 years. But now they are disgraceful 😔. Ps we were so looking forward to a beautiful holiday here but the seeing the rooms just destroyed those feelings. So sad to say this 😞

Stephen Paterson (Ayrshire Don)

Spent a week here from 10 November to 17 November 2024 in a twin room. Staff are all so friendly, and it was good to have some banter with them with my very little Spanish especially the guys in the Lobby bar and the waitresses in the Nimbra restaurant! Relatively busy but there are plenty of sun loungers and seats in the restaurant. The cocktails at the pool bar are delicious, so had to try them all!I The hotel is about 30 minutes away (if walking) from Costa Teguise, but there are regular buses. As we were all inclusive we didn't venture far, but we had a fantastic time. My first time in Lanzarote and I left with wonderful memories. Would recommend this hotel. Weather was 24-26 degrees every day, a bit higher than Scotland in mid November!!!

Erin Shone

Exceptional experience from start to finish. Good food selection. Bad staff are exceptional and their worth ethic is amazing so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend going all inclusive royal level. Highly recommend this resort. This was our second time at Barceló and would definitely come back for a third time!!

Temi Owoeye

This place is fantastic! The food was absolutely delightful, and the room exceeded my expectations for comfort. The entire property was spotless and meticulously cleaned every day. The only downside of our experience was the air conditioning in our suite—it didn’t cool the room as well as we’d hoped.”

Clizia Ballasina

The resort is really nice, the junior suite room is very spacious, the bed super comfy. The royal level heated pool is nice! The food isn't great, the food cooked at the grill is good but the rest could be improved, it gets dry after a while that is out, the quality should be better considering it's a 4 star resort.

Lotte Burie

We chose the Royal Level during our stay, and it was absolutely worth it. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed with a glass of cava and immediately given clear information about what was included in the all-inclusive package. This covered almost everything, from soft drinks and beer to cocktails and other alcoholic beverages, with just a few exceptions available at a significantly reduced rate. By the pools, we could order freshly prepared snacks throughout the day, as well as delicious cocktails. Non-Royal guests had their cocktails from a machine, and their snacks were pre-prepared. The bar staff were incredibly friendly. As Royal Level guests, we had access to an exclusive restaurant with an extensive buffet that changed daily but repeated weekly. The food was freshly prepared in front of you, and there was always plenty of variety. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful; tables were cleared quickly, and we were served promptly. The drink selection was very extensive, ranging from bottled soft drinks to wine. Unlike the non-Royal Level restaurant, where there was less variety, our meals were made to order. The hotel itself was spotless, and the room (Junior Suite) was incredibly spacious. Every day, our room was thoroughly cleaned, including fresh towels and the minibar restocked with water. Upon arrival, the minibar was stocked with soft drinks and beer, which we could enjoy for free. After that, it was available for purchase. The bed was incredibly comfortable, a King Size with one large mattress, and the balcony was very spacious with comfortable chairs and a table. The room had two TVs, a separate living area with a sofa, and coffee and tea facilities. The bathroom was also large enough for two people, including bathrobes, slippers, and more than enough towels. As Royal Level guests, we had access to two separate pools, one of which was heated, with luxurious sunbeds. Every day we could get clean pool towels, while non-Royal guests had to use a card system to exchange towels. The weather during our stay was beautiful. It was pleasantly warm with a refreshing breeze, which made it easy to enjoy the sun. Occasionally, there were some clouds, but they cleared up quickly. We prefer staying at the hotel, but if you want to explore the island, we recommend renting a car or booking a bus tour. The beach opposite the hotel was unusable due to rocks, but a lovely beach is just a 15-minute walk away. Keep in mind that the hotel is not located directly in the center. This was, without a doubt, the best vacation we've ever had. We stayed for 11 days and didn't want to leave. Everything was perfectly arranged, and we didn't lack for anything. We highly recommend this place, especially if you choose the Royal Level. We will definitely return!

Bill Baillie

Great location for this hotel, although the buildings and furnishings are a bit tired looking now, this did not dampen our enjoyment. Great staff and great food, more than made up for this. We are led to believe that the hotel will have a complete refurbishment in May 22025 with a planned opening of December as an adult only hotel. We will definitely be returning.

Martyn Roberts-Gray

Fantastic short holiday for the wife and I away from the kids. Staff were so friendly, every single person had a smile and always happy to help. We felt welcomed and nothing was ever too much of a problem. The room was basic but had all we needed and perfectly functional. Great for couples/adults so couldn't comment on a family experience but I can't imagine the experience would be any different. Thank you to the HD beach resort team!

Yvonne Henderson

Just spent a lovely week at HD Beach Resort. (Despite the weather). Lovely welcoming hotel, great staff and amenities. Rooms are very spacious, clean, and comfortable. Enjoyed the evening entertainment with a variety to suit everyone. Hotel is also close to shops and can get bus to most places on the island. Thank you for a great winter break.

Jon Goodredge

We had an excellent week at the H10. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms are great and spacious, pool was great, no problem finding a spare sunbed. Food was good, the red wine was good (white and rose not so good). Evening entertainment was excellent quality for a hotel, really enjoyed 'cool for cats' 80s music. 15 minute walk to the square and some nice bars. Would visit again and recommend the H10.

Shaun “Shaun”

Great front of house staff, amazing customer service to all staff I have encountered the interaction has been nothing but amazing, we was upgraded to a suite with a beautiful room with a hot tub. Spa access the location is Close to bars and restaurants. Only thing I would say is the food needs to have a theme each night… ie Mexican bbq Spanish … but there was a lot of choice. And the pool bar was good with pizza and light bites. I wi visit again when they have completed the refurbishment. Thanks again Mr S.Rowe

Denise Arthur

The Hotel is old and Tired. It is a good 30 minute walk to the town but the views are spectacular. The staff are friendly enough. Food is terrible but what do you expect for a budget hotel. All these you can take in your stride but not offering a shower facility for guests with after check out flights is unforgivable , it's been a long time since I've had to change in a bathroom and not have a shower before boarding an evening flight .shocking 🙃

Fiona Elisabeth

We really enjoyed our stay here, the staff were fantastic and very helpful, always smiling. The food was plentiful and always fresh. The rooms were good, the only thing is they could do with a bit of an update but it absolutely did not bother me. If you want somewhere easy, friendly and low key, this is it. Lovely pool, right by the ocean. The girls doing the entertainment were amazing, so much fun.

chloe o'grady

I stayed here for one week with my girlfriend and we absolutely had the best holiday . The all inclusive food was so good . So fresh and so much choice everyday. The barstaff were so good . The girls who did the entertainment were fantastic and so friendly and fun ,we got involved in all the daytime activities everyday at the pool because of them. We met some characters here which was an added bonus . Good location and a regular bus service . Nice restaurants nearby if you wanted to eat out . The private beach was lovely . We went for a dip every morning . The on site spa was an added bonus ,we paid extra for massages and it was well worth it .

We went with our two teenage kids 15,17 years old. The family room was not really suitable for us .The rooms and facilities are a bit dated. The whole place could do with a revamp. Rain water ce through the restaurant roof , gutter system just bodghed together. You weren't allowed to take any food or drinks to your rooms. The food was ok, but need to crisp the bacon up as was almost raw. Could do with a fridge or tea making facilities in the room. The entertainment was awful but made you laugh at how bad it was. Didn't go in the pool as it was very cold. The sea was warmer but not easy to get into because of all the rocks. I would probably stay further up the cost at Flamingo Bay if I went again.

Just spent a week at the resort. Very mixed feelings about the experience, having read the reviews before we arrived we were very sceptical. Some of the points we read were 100% accurate and can’t disagree with. Good location to be fair and the weather was glorious and the view from the pool area is stunning, sea is hard to swim in as currents around the rocky shore is strong and isn’t an easy walk to the sea. Swimming pool was freezing most days one of the days it was bearable to get in but it was the warmest day. Pool bar always quick to get drinks and waiters come and clear the empty glasses fairly quickly. Food was not good, very limited choice and very repetitive, seem to cater for the French and German guests over the English. Lunch was probably the best choice of food and quality. Breakfast isn’t English either and not even similar so went to bills 10 minute walk up the road ( breakfast there was insane ) and only €5 for a full English. Most of the staff were pleasant but there were a few that were rude and abrupt. They talk to you if you are French Spanish or German not very friendly to the English. The evening entertainment ( well if you can call it that ) is not worth wasting your evening going too, always late to start, no organization at all very very amateur at best, it was error after error on every night we went. Again if your French Spanish or German they engage with you other wise no, and when they do quizzes they tell you the answers in either French or Spanish. Very very heavily French and German and Spanish populated and found these people very rude and arrogant and just found them staring at the English all the time, the French stood out to me as being intolerable and no consideration for anyone else, its put me off even wanting to visit France. Rooms are clean and beds comfy and we had a nice terrace area on the ground floor which is a bit dated but we found the room fine. Only saw 1 cockroach on our terrace the whole time saw more little geckos than anything else, oh yeah and the local hedgehogs! It’s a cheap and cheerful hotel really don’t expect luxury. For us it was the people really who spoilt it in a way and also the food and staff. Location and weather were the really positive points and meeting some friendly English people too. Oh and a special mention to Katarina who does the car hire she was really nice and gave us a good deal on our mini convertible for 2 days. Also don’t get taxis from the hotel as they are perverts and make you feel very uncomfortable. 2/5 for hotel experience 5/5 for making our holiday fun in our own way.
