Hotel Riu Paraiso Lanzarote - All Inclusive

Myself Husband and Son have just got back from an amazing 7 day Holiday here in RIU Paraiso Lanzarote. The hotel was lovely, spotlessly clean everywhere. As a non smoker I loved the fact that guest have a designated area they can sit and smoke in whilst sunbathing around the pool, so the area is kept clean of all cigarette butts. The hotel always had enough sun-beds and parasols for everyone. If there wasn’t and people who arrived through the day couldn’t find one they went and fetched more. The Hotel is VERY big as it originally was 2 separate hotels now combined into one. The hotel is joined by a LARGE LONG walk way so be prepared on arrival If your in the 2nd section of the hotel - this felt like a mammoth walk. Then later you can see the short cut for everyday walk to the main area. We were in the 2nd part of the hotel with the large pool with the island in the middle, this we found suited us better as the other 2 pools in the main section on the hotel looked crammed! Loved the fact the hotel accommodates for the disabled and has a slope into the pool where I observed a wheelchair user being able to access this in the chair and then the chair was taken out till needed again. Well done to the hotel, pluses lifeguard was happy to assist if needed. Only negative thing, that I would say about the pool is the half section of the pool where ball games are allowed is a pain as balls are flying everywhere. Two older french lads were being really rough playing and hitting the ball into people and their parents were not saying anything!!, at the time the lifeguard (of this day) was to busy talking to his friend to observe this! (Needs to be more aware of what’s going on) lots of people were getting angry with the boys as had enough by then! Apart from that the pool area is amazing! Pool snack and bar was great, nachos with cheese, burgers chicken Prosecco, wine cocktails, larger on tap. On arrival on your stay you get a card that you get the towels for your sun-bed by the pool. Rooms was lovely, fresh towels when needed, large balcony’s with a table and chairs for evening. Could do with the light for the balcony as there isn’t one and your unable to sit out when dark so suggestion to the hotel perhaps to install them. Had a rack to air your towels and dry them. Main restaurant- amazing food caters for all. Loved the fresh prawns, assortment of cheeses and hams can not fault this at all. We dined in the Asian restaurant and the Canary one both were lovely, a little slow in the canary one and we found staff werent as friendly as the Asian one and had to ask for some drinks in the end as waiter was too busy focusing on another table to much, but was lovely atmosphere and more relaxing that main restaurant. Entertainment was Ok to be honest we never really went in there only a couple of times we were quite happy sat playing cars in the bar area or we went out for a walk. Negative - in the daytime the entertainment theme walk around the pool w

Fantastic all inclusive hotel. Stayed here as a family with teenage children. Location is excellent walking distance to town centre (15 mins) and directly across the road to a lovely clean quiet beach. Accommodation is top class beds and pillows very comfortable. Hotel is absolutely spotless with very friendly cleaning staff always visible maintaining the hotel. Great selection of food and drink available throughout the day. Main Buffet restaurant has a great selection of cooked meals and cold salads. We went to the Asian restaurant twice which is also buffet style but must be booked in advance. Loved to food here and would have liked to have eaten there again. Plenty of drink choices with wine and beer on tap, spirits with mixers available at bar, also cava cocktails and mocktails. One small suggestion would be to have a cider option and also make little more effort in presentation of cocktails eg cocktails glasses etc - in the age of social media presentation of drinks would probably help promote the hotel. We booked the tennis courts a number of times the teenagers really enjoyed that. Rackets and tennis balls provided at reception with a refundable deposit. Table tennis also an option. Would love to return and have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

Beautiful hotel. Close to the seaside. Clean swimming pools and toilets. Clean rooms. Wonderful food and a such big choice of everything. Fantastic art club for children and adults. We loved to stay there and would definitely come back again. Thank you to all the staff of the hotel on each level for providing a such memorable holiday experience.

Great hotel, definitely exceeded our expectations. Lovely food, heated 2 out of 4 pools, exciting evening entertainment. Cannot really single out anyone from staff as all were amazing. Highly recommend, will be back again. Thanks

My travel agent wife has booked many people to this hotel over the years so we decided to check it out ourselves. First impressions were very disappointing. As many people have stated this is 2 separate hotels now connected by a walkway. First was the massive walk from reception to the “quiet “ part of the hotel. As we opened the door to our room we were greeted with a very disappointing location and view. We asked to be moved but were told there was no other rooms available. All week it was a long walk to the main part of the hotel where all activities, kids club, main restaurants and bars were located. Bit of a pain. The rest of the holiday was very good, rooms and grounds were immaculate. The hotel is in an excellent location for the beech. Food and drink was good. Bit of a free for all at meals times but that’s what I’d expect an all inclusive. The things that I will remember most fondly from the hotel were the excellent staff and especially the kids club. Our little lad had the time of his life.
