A Decent Budget Stay at Hip Hotel Le Geria
We stayed at Hip Hotel Le Geria in April while meeting family, and overall, it was a decent experience for a budget getaway. Lanzarote isn’t typically my go-to destination, but the hotel offered enough to keep us entertained, even with the weather being a bit hit and miss.
The hotel itself had plenty to do, which was a plus, though I found the food to be pretty average. The service around the pool area was good, but I was a bit disappointed that floats couldn’t be used for sunbathing.
The location was definitely one of the highlights. It’s close to the airport, the beach, and a selection of shops and bars. While it was relatively quiet during our stay, I imagine the area would be bustling during high season. A short taxi ride to the main strip opened up a variety of restaurants, bars, and live entertainment options, which added to the experience.
Overall, while the hotel didn’t blow me away, it was perfectly acceptable for a budget-friendly getaway. If you’re looking for a convenient, affordable stay with decent amenities and proximity to local attractions, Hip Hotel Le Geria is worth considering.

Returned last week from our 1st stay and really loved the hotel
Excellent location right on the promenade, opposite the beach and very close to many bars and restaurants
Hotel is lovely and modern. Great pool area and never a problem getting sunbeds even though the hotel seemed busy. There is a modern gym and Spa area but didn't use either of these. Free pool towels and these were really big
Large bar area with inside seating where the evening entertainment is and doors opening onto lots of outside seating. There is a separate smoking area next to the bar with comfy looking sofas if you did want to smoke. For us, the only negative to the bar area, is that it's the only inside space in the evening and the entertainment was far too loud....so loud that it sounded like the singers were shouting and out of tune. The 2 evenings when the entertainment wasn't so loud, sounded better. We had entertainment every night however including Abba, Beatles tribute, Soul and Sass etc. Daytime entertainment was available 6 days a week including rifle shooting and water aerobics
We were all inclusive and personally I couldn't fault the food and drink. The restaurant was very busy at breakfast. So much choice available at all mealtimes and for lunch and dinner there was fresh chef cooking of at least 2 meats and 2 fish choices and cooking fresh eggs and omelettes at breakfast. I'm really fussy and never struggled.....I even had beef cheek stew on 2 occasions which is something ive never tried before but it was delicious and the meat fell apart. The first few days, the food was lukewarm but this improved. Huge choice of fruit and desserts....the tiramisu was delicious, as was the caramel ice cream.
I thought the all inclusive drinks were great and enjoyed the cocktails which were made fresh to order and not premixed. Every local spirit available. Soft drinks included Pepsi Max and low sugar orange and lemon Fanta. White coffee in the restaurant at breakfast was the best ive had in any hotel but was very weak in the bar area. Drinks in the bar and restaurant (except breakfast) were all waiter service which personally I prefer
Rooms were big with large bathrooms and walk in shower and nice shower gel, hand soap and shampoo. Plenty of storage in the room. Safe in wardrobe. TV with BBC1, BBC2, ITV and C4. Fridge in rooms with large bottle of water on arrival. Beds were very very comfy
Staff were lovely and really helpful on the whole....
We had a great time but unfortunately the weather could have been better. Lanzarote had an orange warning for wind whilst we were there so after the first 3 days which were hot and sunny, the last week was mixed with a pretty chilly wind, especially when the sun wasn't out but it is winter in Lanzarote. Would definitely return 😎🌞😎🌞

One night stopover - easy access from airport. Pleasant check-in experience - large open feel, very white (recently painted?) and very clean.
Took the breakfast option and it was very good with attentive service and a large selection.
Lovely pool area - Highly recommended.

This hotel does NOT have a spa as advertised. We were not informed that the spa was under renovation prior to arriving. We were only informed at check in only because i requested to book in for treatments amd for access to the spa facilities. The hotel had partnered up with a local spa which was also not finished, partially painted, jacuzzi freezing cold and not on, sauna warm not hot with broken time dial, relaxtion rooms filled with buckets and mops. We informed the hotel of this and i have been emailing the manager since retuning home all of whom were apologetic but did nothing really to help. You cannot advertise as having facilities and then shake off any responsibilities when you direct us somewhere that is also unfinished. The food at the hotel was rubbish - flavourless. The pool was cold. The bathroom constantly had flies. Save your money and book a different hotel - there are plenty down the beach with proper spa facilities, better food, are cleaner and with better trained staff. WOULD NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN! WASTE OF MONEY.
In response to your reply - if it was carefully selected why was it half painted, broken and dirty. As we were rushed out maybe others just left after their treatments and didn't use the spa circuit like you said we would have unlimited access to on the day of our treatment (surprise also not true we had an hour.)

Great hotel, staff were lovely. Good facilities, only downside was that we had to queue to get into breakfast in the mornings.
