Hotel Riu Paraiso Lanzarote - All Inclusive

Todo muy bien

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.

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

We have just returned from yet another stay at this fabulous hotel . We cannot recommend this hotel enough. Everything from the moment you arrive is perfect. The hotel is ideally situated by the beach and a short walk to bars , restaurants and shops should you wish to use these. The hotel is immaculate, well staffed , well run and everyone who works there is a credit to the RIU organisation. The food is excellent. Plenty of choice , speciality restaurants in clean , pleasant surroundings. Everything was served hot , fresh and well presented. We would recommend this hotel for anyone seeking top class service with a smile . If we had one complaint it would be the fluctuation of the water temperature in the shower . It went from cool to very hot very quickly and often . Well done and thank you to all the team at this hotel . We will be back .

Just returned from a brilliant holiday at this fantastic hotel.We are a group of eight friends and this is our third visit in twelve months.We are definitely returning soon. The staff at this hotel have to be the best in all the hotels we’ve stayed in. Nothing is too much trouble they are so helpful even when they don’t need to be. To mention a few in the restaurant Valdi,Nurisa Manoli and a special mention to the under manager Pablo who was very professional and very helpful.. The bar Joel ,Carlos and a couple of the ladies we didn’t manage to get their names.The food in the restaurant is high in quality and the selection unbelievable.Last but not least the best entertainers in Lanzarote.Oasis duo. They had four shows while we were there they are brilliant,we always have fun with them and have become friends.

Second visit to this hotel and third one booked for next year. We stayed in the ‘Lanzarote” hotel as this is 2 hotels in one, had an amazing sea view apartment with 2 balconies, superb room. 4 pools and 2 are heated, aquatic aerobics and other games available every day. The food was really good for all inclusive, couldn’t fault it really, we had 10 days and didn’t feel that we got to that what are we going to eat stage, really enjoyed it all. The bit we love is the location, to the left of the hotel you can walk about 2 miles along the promenade, with the sea and beach all the way, to the old town, this has recently had a refurb and is lovely for walking/biking, you can walk right the way to the bottom of the airport runway and beyond. We didn’t go further than this but I think you can cycle the route right around to Arricife. If you come out of the hotel and go right you can walk another 2 miles or more all along the ‘strip’ where there are loads of bars, shops and restaurants, and beach areas, have had some lovely meals here, really lovely and great shops, walk right to the end 👍🏻 Also the buses are brilliant, a bus for 2, to Playa Blanca, stood right outside hotel, about 45 mins, €5.50 for 2 each way and roads are amazing,,, no potholes!! From the hotel you can also catch the bud straight to Teguise, same price for 2 and then back to Arricife where the only tall building on the island is, so easy and so much culture to see and enjoy, and as for the weather, they class January as their winter, well we had blue sky 8 days out of 10 and temperatures of 22-25” lovely and warm, but the evenings were quite cool, which was expected. The grounds are so clean and well looked after, and going across from the second hotel for meals was great for us as nice bit of exercise if having a pool day ☺️ Highly recommend ☺️
