What a lovely resort, the staff are so friendly, rooms are clean and modern. I booked all inclusive adults only as my first solo holiday and felt really safe here. Food is nice, not loads of choice but enough for a few days, might get a bit boring after a week. The premium pool and bar is great, had different themed food and drinks each day which was really nice. Just done a cheese and wine tasting 👌🏼 didn’t have to fight for a sunbed and was really quiet which is exactly what I wanted. Evening entertainment is good, hotel a bit far out from the beach but there is a shuttle bus, would definitely book again

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)
We recently stayed at Elba Lanzarote Royal Village Resort, and while we had a decent week, there are a few points worth mentioning for future guests.
Location: The hotel is a bit isolated. It’s a lengthy walk to the nearest beach, shops, bars, or restaurants, which was inconvenient. However, there is a free shuttle bus running three times a day each way, which helps if you plan ahead.
Staffing: This was the biggest drawback. Only one bar serves drinks during the day and another at night, with just one or sometimes two staff managing all guests. While the staff are fantastic, friendly, and work very hard, the shortage makes wait times frustrating. Adding more staff at the bars would make a big difference.
Cleanliness: The grounds are well-kept and generally clean, although now and then you might see the odd plate or glass left around by other guests. Still, it’s better maintained than many other places we’ve been.
Pools: There’s no lifeguard at the pools, which is surprising. There’s only one attendant stationed at the water slide, which doesn’t feel adequate from a safety perspective.
Food: Breakfast is acceptable, especially if you’re after a typical English fry-up. However, lunch and dinner were disappointing. Options are limited, dishes are often left empty, and it takes a while to get them refilled. For the price, we expected better quality and variety.
Rooms: The rooms are a highlight—modern, spacious, and consistently clean. Iron, hairdryer, towels, shower gel and bath robes included. The €4 per day fee for the safe is steep, though, as it adds up quickly over a week or more.
Extras: Pool towels require a €10 deposit, which you get back, so no big issue there. The entertainment team is small, with only five or six members, but they do their best to keep things lively, especially with the evening disco for younger kids. Adults looking for more options might feel there’s not enough to do during the day.
Drinks: Quality of drinks is good, and there are some cocktails, though limited. Additional cocktail options would be nice, though with the limited staffing, we understand it would create even more pressure on the bar.
Overall: In short, we had an okay week. It’s a decent resort with friendly staff and clean rooms, but the location, food quality, and staffing shortages mean we likely wouldn’t return. Three stars feel fair for this experience.

Visited with my son, perfect hotel for families. Facilities good and always food and drink available. Staff work exceptionally hard and can be overwhelmed sometimes when everyone wants to eat at once, meaning sometimes plates and cups can run out briefly but it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. Pool excellent, some of them are heated but not all. Gardens kept beautifully. Location was fine for what we needed, it is just under a mile walk to the beach. There is a free bus if you don’t fancy walking. Would visit again for sure.

Just returned from a fantastic holiday at the Elba Lanzarote Royal Village Resort and I can't praise this hotel enough. From first arriving at the hotel (late in the night) to leaving, the staff could not have been more helpful. The hotel itself was clean and tidy and well maintained, if you did have a problem it was dealt with quickly and without a lot of fuss. The food in the restaurants was, in my opinion, to a very high standard with plenty of choice for all dietary requirements. As I said before, I can't praise the hotel enough, everything about it is excellent. The staff were always happy to help and very pleasant and professional. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and I will definitely be returning.

Animation staff are fantastic! The hotel is lovely and clean and a great setup for families and adults only. I do think there should be more beakers and cutlery for young children. I also think the queues for drinks are very long and unnecessary. The beer should be self-serve as this would cut waiting times by more than 60%. There should also be more cocktails included.
