Apartamentos Lanzarote Paradise Colinas

Low budget, basic, had to request toilet roll and bin bags as only cleaned every 4 days. pool area was kept clean and tidy by the lifeguard on weekdays. No lifts, invaded by ants. no air conditioning , rooms vary a lot in standards, some really need a good makeover, whereas some are a lot fresher decorated with poor quality ikea style furniture. one bedside table in double room so had to use a chair no wardrobes or draws. safe deposit boxes don't work. WIFI is useless, snacks are overpriced and poor quality. Everyone we spoke too said they would never go back there, its a good 25 minute walk to limited shops and bars. uphill coming back.

The good bits are that it is cheap at the Lanzarote Paradise. I found the staff excellent and everything is spotless. There are however reasons why it's cheap. Lanzarote Paradise must be nearly two miles from the beaches although to be fair taxis are cheap its just hard to get one. The rooms are very very basic. No wardrobe just a rail. No decorations,pictures or mirrors on the walls (except the bathroom). Not even tooth tumblers.If you just want a place to lay your head it's ok but for finer comfort or ease look elsewhere.

I'm at the hotel now, and having read all the negative reviews, I want to reassure future guests as I, too, was a little worried. The reception staff have been lovely, polite, and helpful. Checking in was easy. The room is enormous and clean. The beds are comfortable. The bathroom does the job! The shower runs off a mixer tap, so it's not the best pressure, but not the worst, and the water is hot. The kitchen area is fine, with a microwave, hob, and fridge, kettle, and toaster. There is basic cooking equipment. My only moan is there is no sharp knife for cutting bread and peeling vegetables - no peeler either. I personally like a wine glass and mug , of which there are none, but there are tumblers and cups. Bring a tea towel! The hotel is quiet. We are at the back looking at the mountains and common land and not overlooked, unlike around the pool area where guests walking down the stairs can see you on your balcony. A previous reviewer moaned about there not being daily housekeeping - well, you are SELF catering, and the information sheet does clearly tell you someone will come in on day 4. Haven't managed to get the WiFi to work, but who needs WIFI on holiday? Someone had written a review about the pool not being like the one in the photo - well, it is. There are 2 pools! They obviously hadn't explored. The pool areas are cleaned and tended. The pool bar is reasonable and offers food, milk, and 5lt bottles of water. If you arrive late bring tea and coffee and at least you can have a drink. The person who moaned about no shops and hills, again obviously hadn't explored. A 15-minute gentle stroll brings you to shops, restaurants, and the beach. I hate walking, and the walk back isn't difficult. The hotel offers a trip on Sundays to Teguise Market for 10€- definitely worth doing and daily trips to the main part of Costa Teguise at 11 am and back at 4 pm. They can also arrange taxis. A holiday is what you make it and for the price paid, this place is very good.

I don't know why some people are moaning about this place. You get what you pay for at the end of the day. Lovely large rooms although a bit sparse and echo's a bit (A few pictures would be nice). Bathroom large and separate bedroom was huge. It was clean and well stocked as you would expect. 15 min walk to the beach and bars.

Windiest place on earth! Think of the land that time forgot and then go back some. Zero atmosphere and no signs of life anywhere. Forget about sunbathing - bring hoodies and tights or just stay at home. Whole place felt like it needed to give itself a shake and wake up.

Nice location nice base. Rooms need updating but everything else is fine .staff are amazing .bit of a walk to town and beach but this hotel puts a free bus on with a return at 4pm . Pool bar is great with nice food and drinks at a good price . Jamie behind bar is a really nice chap and likes to have a good laugh with everyone. All in all a good base
