Sol Lanzarote All Inclusive

We enjoyed a week here in February. The place was immaculately clean and tidy. With young children there was plenty to do and places nearby to visit. Food was a concern before travelling but I am glad to say our worry was not justified. There was so much choice and different options every day. Plenty of choice pretty much all day long and the entertainment was also very good. So much so we are looking to stay again next year.

Jst an average hotel, could be good with a little effort! Tired needs updating! Don't get the paper cup policy, seems like a lot of waste! Room was a great size, but again needed a little tlc here and there! Bathroom definitely needed work, a shaver socket wouldn't go a miss! Location was great, can't get closure to the beach than here!

Pros: Great location. In front of the beach and basically next to Irish pubs and shops (for all the good quality versions of the fake Bags and belts and clothes and anything you need for beach and pool and souvenirs) and restaurants by the sea. There are no cars allowed-it’s bikes and pedal carts and walkers and joggers all along the seafront in front of the hotel between the pool and the sea. You can rent the bikes and carts and mobility scooters right outside if you want them. Excellent kids club/animation team. Water carpet every day at 1pm for the kids is great. Water games in the afternoon are fantastic and the lifeguards and animation team are wonderful. Nice looking rooms, clean rooms, clean hotel indoor and outdoor areas. Cleaning staff do a very good job. Massage place is the best massage and reflexology I have ever had. Layout of the whole place is great and well thought out (except for snack bar-see cons!) with everything very centralized compared to some All Inclusives that have pools all over. The 3 pools are together. Excellent new playground which is a bit away from the pools and is quiet-there are loungers over by it that are great if you want some peace-it’s like a hidden spot. Good size big rooms (we had superior sea view 3309 third floor-nice size with fridge and microwave and nice size bathroom 285€ smallish balcony and beautiful view of pool and the sea and beautiful sea waves sound at nice with the doors open. Local beer in the taps is fine (but see cons!). The atmosphere and vibe around the pool is lively but still classy. There is loud music but not overly loud and there are quieter parts. It’s a good place for families and also grandparents and older visitors without kids with activities for adults on the terrace throughout the day…there is a nice balance and they have done very well with the entertainment and overall vibe. Games room and pool tables etc are reasonable and don’t overly rip the kids off. ATM on site. Laundry and gym all handy and well taken care of. Good signage and all very easy to find. Hairdressers and small souvenir shop and a very handu well priced little supermaket for food and water and all sorts of bits is just by the front entrance.Reception is the hub for all things needed which makes things nice and simple. Taxis easily called from reception. Puerto Del Carmen ***** is €5 and 5-10 mins away and taxis turn up out front immediately. Cons: Restaurant is like a big self serve cafeteria with mostly sloppy saucy dishes. We are not big drinkers so didn’t think we would care about the bad reviews of the drinks system-but it’s truly awful. Wine in a paper cup from a push button type machine just feels so icky and not a holiday fresh drink vibe. All the fresh drinks at the bar (vodka and mixer, rum and mixer, mojito etc) were just as bad…everything tastes cheap and chemically. Same taste off the food and even the coffee and ice creams…chemical taste…cheap ingredients? Bad water? Not sure. Beer from the

⭐️ amazing holiday ⭐️ Lovely clean hotel, please don’t listen to negative reviews on silly little faults. The hotel is clean, family oriented, great food and amazing views. Food yes it can be repetitive in the way of chips, salad, pasta but there’s always plenty of other food on offer. The pool bar always has pizza and toasties (repetitive yes but also handy and great for light snack) if you fancy a lite bite . Entertainment was great. Most entertainment was family oriented which was great. The entertainment staff were brilliant 🤩 The drink token when reading reviews slightly put us off but once arriving and seeing how the token/cup system worked it wasn’t bad at all and actually quite a good idea to save on broken glass at pool side and plastic recycling. Glasses at meals in restaurant and at night time bar/entertainment. As a family with young child plus two teenagers we cannot fault this hotel for anything and would 100% recommend it, we would definitely visit again if coming back to Lanzarote

Just returned from a lovely 4 night stay with friends and overall we were all really impressed. We arrived at around 1pm and luckily one of our rooms was ready, we had room 1434 on the top floor and it was lovely. Really spacious, lovely big bathroom with a bath, beds comfortable, fridge, kettle and mugs but not tea and coffee in the rooms. The hairdryer provided was actually really good and powerful as well so no need to take your own. A lot of reviews said there was no aircon which worried me as I get hot through the night but our aircon was on and really powerful, not sure if it based on how warm it is or the time of year but it certainly wasn't hot or stuffy in our room at all. There was also shower gel, shampoo and conditioner provided. I had emailed ahead and asked if I could order any extras for my friends 40th birthday, they told me the options which I decided against but the hotel still left a bottle of prosecco in our room which was really kind. We didn't have a sea view but the we had a lovely view of the mountains. The staff were all friendly but the house keeping staff and bar staff in particular were lovely and the animation team work really hard. The pool areas were all lovely and there were tonnes of sunbeds, as a group of 4 we never struggled to get a group of beds right by the pool but again this could depend on season. The pools were a bit cold for us for the time of year but they were nice and clean and big enough for the amount of beds. Entertainment was ok, there was a magician, 2 dance shows and a singing duo who were good. It is a family hotel so variety is important but the best atmosphere was definitely when the entertainment was singers, other times it felt a little flat. We stayed to watch the entertainment then headed out. We went to a few of the bars to the left of the hotel which were probably more for older people but still had a good atmosphere but we also got a taxi for around €6/7 into Puerto del Carmen for a more lively night out. One thing to note as even though the weather was hot during the day we were quite cold on night times sitting at the hotel, perhaps just from the sea breeze so for the slightly cooler time of year I'd definitely recommend a jacket for night time which I didn't take and regretted it The food and drink wasn't bad, the food was just the usual stuff at an all inclusive, probably a little less choice than what I'm personally used to and there was a lot of fish based dishes but I always found plenty to eat and I'm fussy. They always had pasta, breads, chips and salad with cheeses and meats. The deserts weren't too bad either and there was a chocolate fountain most nights. The drinks were nice though there wasn't a massive cocktail list and they are premixed so not quite as nice as a proper cocktail but still tasty and the bar staff were happy to mix up drinks for you so perhaps if you asked for a cocktail not on the list they may make it fresh. Soft drinks, beer wine and sangeria we

My first time in Lanzarote and I’m so glad I chose this holiday for me my mum and my 11 yr old son, as I’m a independent traveler agent it’s best I do a review as it’s definitely a hotel I have recommended to my clients since I stayed here I was thankful for the individual unique experience I received a bottle of champagne and glasses and chocolates with a personalised lil card was waiting for us in our room. We arrive late in the evening 11pm and was hungry and needed water reception gave us water and also there was a cheese and egg salad with bread roll already waiting for us which I’ve never had a meal waiting for me. The staff were amazing anything we needed they were there to help. My room superior double room was nice a big with a cleaned every day with a beautiful sea view, mini bar was stocked each day. My son enjoyed the entertainment there was great entertainment through out the day and in the evening, a great lil games room next to the gym was great for my son he made loads of Freinds, I had an amazing full body massage twice well worth the money. The food was great for me we enjoyed it each day with a fussy son he ate every day breakfast lunch and dinna as well as snacks the drinks were nice also I had mojito , sangria from the pump and also the slushes were great. The grounds of the hotel are nice and big think I seen 4 pools including the baby pool and also a kids play park. My mum was up each morning putting our towels down whilst she had her morning coffee the beach towels are nice and big we put a little deposit down for them from reception which was returned on check out. The beach is literally 1 minutes on the other side of the wall with a gate to access it straight from the pool area there are many shops and bars and restaurants on the beach front we went to the Irish bar 10minutes walk away to watch the football derby match . Also the plane spotting was great fun watching the planes flying in low and landing in the airport .there is a mini market shop at the front part of the hotel where u can get drinks snacks toiletries balls and inflatables as-well as a gift shop there. There is a laundry room and a bicycle hire unit next to the spa treatment room and gym area . The photographer was great when I decided I wanted photos done on the final day the camera man had already been taking snaps of him having fun with other kids in the pool so I got a few days worth of photos instead of just the final day. My only issue I had was I couldn’t get in the pool as it was freezing but my son went in the big pool and the slightly heated kids pool my mum finally got in to the kids pool on day 5 after gearing her self up lol.

Superb Family Break” Just come back from a great week at Sol Lanzarote. We upgraded for a Sea View and this was well worth it as the views were stunning! Lovely food each day and the beers/wine/cava were excellent, the plastic cup system is good as saves a lot of wastage and cups hanging around. Entertainment staff in particular worked so hard in the pool and at the kids disco, well done 👍 Thanks for a great stay.

Just arrived and been for lunch. No coffee or tea in the restaurant except breakfast and that's from one small machine for hundreds of people. You have to go to the pool bar and bring it back in, and that's a tiny machine too. No cups or mugs you have to use a glass. No tea or coffee in the room. A kettle and a microwave so old it's yellow The wardrobe has no long hanging space for women's dresses. No iron. Bare whitewashed walls not a picture or a bit of something to make it feel slightly welcoming. I could go on and on with the small detail that you should expect in a 4 star hotel. This is 3 at best. So disappointed, I'm done with all inclusive, especially 4 star hotels they aren't worth it in my opinion. Staff are friendly though, they were very polite when they told me I couldn't have coffee in a restaurant with my lunch. I hope our holiday gets better it's been a poor start

We came to this hotel during the Easter half term. The location of this hotel is excellent, 15mins away from the airport and right on the beach. This meant you could spend the day at the beach and pop back for your drinks and food. Talking about food…. It wasn’t great unfortunately. We would get to the restaurant for the opening times and we found the food to be cold, not luke warm… cold. There was your usual pizza, pasta, chips etc but even the kids food wasn’t that great. It’s such a shame as it looked delicious and we firmly believe if it was hot, it would have been delicious. The restaurant gets extremely loud aswell which I suppose is to be expected. Help yourself drinks available from a few stations within the restaurant. The sangria was lovely!! Now onto the snack bar….. To me, the location of this seemed odd as it’s at the end of the resort where there is a perfectly good ‘hut’ located by the middle pool that wasn’t used? This meant any time you wanted to get a different drink you had to go all the way to the snack bar just to change your cup. The drinks at the snack bar were great - cocktails were lovely…. Just ask for extra alcoholic. Whilst I understand the want for the hotel to be sustainable, the whole tokens system was a bit baffling, when we handed back our tokens when we left we were not asked for our hotel number (so in effect could have taken the cups home), but they charge you €1 to replace your cup if you lose it or your token. There were always plenty of cups around so it just seems to me it was to make money. Talking about “sustainability”… I completely get it and commend the hotel for trying. But to point blank refuse to put the air conditioning on when the temperatures are reaching very high 20’s is unacceptable. The rooms are stuffy which made sleeping (or lack of) very uncomfortable. We were given one fan, which did absolutely nothing and even that was very noisy so you couldn’t leave it on. The staff here are absolutely amazing, everyone. The maids, reception, bar staff, animation team - all excellent. There seems to be three seperate animation teams but they all do the same thing? It’s a bit odd. Over all, we unfortunately wouldn’t return based on the food.
