Hotel is lovely, pool area is large and not overly busy (we did go in November so may be a little quieter). Could be a better variety of food in the main restaurant especially for the kids it was basically the same most nights and lunch’s..
Mini Kids Entertainment team were fantastic always something going on day and night. The kids club was great at keeping the children busy and happy with lots to do! Great entertainment team 💗❤️

Love this place!
We've just experienced the cheese and wine tasting, which was really cool. Love it!
However the adult pool was closed and the steam room in the spa was not working. The bar staff near the pool are miserable and not very happy in their work. I think they need to find another job 🤔 we don't pay all this money (£1300 ea) to be served with miserable faces. The staff, everywhere else, cannot do enough for us. Fantastic service. Thank you 😊 xx

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.
