Hotel Riu Paraiso Lanzarote - All Inclusive

Todo muy bien

Another stay at this great hotel. Meal times could be a little noisy but plenty of food. Standards of cleaning were excellent. The animation team were great and my daughter loved Lucy and Martin! He was there last time we came so she was made up to see him again! We stayed in 219 above the theatre, the balcony was lovely and private with sun all afternoon! Beach right across the road and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby if you fancied a change of scenery. Will shall be back again soon!

We have been to several All inclusive hotels before but RIU Paraiso was one of the best. There isn't much to complain really. We had booked a regular family room with a separate bedroom but eventually got upgraded to a 2-bedroom family room which was really spacious and quiet. Housekeeping worked really well and everything was spotlessly clean. The service was excellent everywhere. The hotel area is huge, so it was a long way for us to walk to the restaurants through the well-kept gardens but it was actually nice. We love cats and there really were LOTS of them at the hotel! The wifi was great and there were lots of free parking places. The location next to the huge beach was beautiful but a bit remote, so for us it was easiest to rent a car to tour around the island. We have always used the local car rental company Cabrera Medina which is great value for money. The variety, quality and taste of food and drink at the hotel was quite good. It was nice to have 3 restaurant options for dinner. We tried the Canarian and Asian theme restaurants (which were easy to book via RIU app), both were OK and more peaceful than the huge main restaurant. The orange juice at breakfast was quite basic but there were plenty of other freshly pressed juices available. And it would have been nice to have ice cream available at the pool bar during the day. The coctails at the bars were not particularly special, we have had tastier ones in other AI hotels. At the poolside the sunbeds were very close to each other (but at least there were plenty of them), no side tables for drinks, etc. But these are just minor things. All in all I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Riu Parasio Arrived via the TUI Coach Transfer but so wish I had jumped in a Taxi for 17 Euros. A trek to the Coach Station, waited 40 minutes then a transfer of 40 minutes. Allocated room quickly and efficiently as we had already checked in on the RIU App. We were allocated exactly the room we had requested but being in the other block is not for everyone as it is quite a walk to the Restaurant and this is a very quiet side of the complex. Room was exceptional, practical with two large beds, clean linen, large living area and very modern bathroom and beautiful balcony. More sockets would have been helpful but with some moving of furniture everything worked fine. The cleaning regime at this complex is quite incredible from the complex itself, the communal areas and gardens there is quite an attention to detail. The Pool areas were lovely with some nice spaces to hide but other areas around the pool were like Sardines so we avoided. Both pool areas are good but we preferred the chilled side. The entertainment Team had a full day and night programme of events for those at the Main Pool who wanted to join in. The Pool snack bar and drinks were perfectly adequate. The Beach is just out the back gate and across the road. Pocillos Beach and the short walk to Porto de Carmen Beaches are well worth it. The food in the restaurant was exceptional, catering for all tastes and the service was excellent. The theme restaurants Asian and Canarian although very good we preferred the main restaurant so did not book the themed restaurants twice. A lovely touch is that the manager Pablo checked in with us every day. Nothing was too much trouble and the Hotel makes for a very special experience. Please be aware that the Hotel promotes itself as disability friendly but in reality guests with disabilities or special needs may find the Hotel challenging.

We have been to this hotel numerous times before. We stayed over the bridge in what used to be the other RUI hotel by our request. The staff are very professional, the rooms are cleaned daily, bars and restaurant's although busy service is quick. Plenty sun beds around the pools available all day.

Very large hotel spread across 2 buildings, I believe it used to be two separate hotels. Walking distance between the older/quieter building and the main building is via a covered walkway which is quite a distance and could be problematic for the less mobile. Rooms and common areas are all kept very clean. Pool areas again are large with ample beds. Food in our opinion was the let down 1) due to the very busy cafeteria buffet type set up and 2) to the very repetitive nature of the food offerings even between lunch and dinner.
