Myself, husband and two year old have just returned from a weeks break at the Lanzarote Bay. We had a fantastic time. The hotel has been refurbished to an excellent standard. The living accomodation is great, the bathroom is very modern and it is all very clean. Our appartment was right next to the Childrens Pool which was brilliant for our two year old. The staff were excellent and you can tell they really work hard, care about their customers and are proud of their hotel. On one day a few tiles had come off the bottom of the childrens pool and they fixed this on the same day. The food is excellent with a great choice. At Breakfast there is the usual full english plus croissants, cold meats, fruit, cereal, yoghurts etc etc. At lunch time we tended to eat in the pool bar where there was always fresh food such as chips, pasta, salad, cold meats, burgers, sausages etc etc. At tea time there was also a great choice. There was a carvery, pasta, stews, grilled meats, salads, soups, kiddies food, choice of potatoes, excellent desserts etc etc. The drinks choice was excellent and the Cocktails were all inclusive too. The staff were all very friendly and great with our two year old. There were activities on throughout the day (more aimed at adults) we didn't take part although they looked like fun. Of an evening there was a disco and/or face painting for the little ones and then your usual evening entertainment (dancing shows {body heat was hilarious} , abba tributes etc etc). Costa Teguise itself is okay. Quite a small resort and it was very quiet while we were there. It's about a 20 minute walk to the beach and the middle beach is fantastic if you have small children. It's small and shallow with beautiful clear water. All in all a great holiday and a fantastic hotel.

Have just returned from this hotel and could not fault it. The decor is modern and the place is spotless. The staff cannot do enough to please and are always willing to go that extra mile. The food is varied and tasty and is all good quality and the entertainment is very good especially for families.



The weather is hot but breezy and desite the breeze the air con is a welcome addition.



ONE POINT TO NOTE: MEN MUST WEAR FULL LENGTH TROUSERS FOR THE EVENING MEAL.

What a fantastic holiday. I went with my partner and 3 children aged 3, 8 and 12. The first thing I am going to mention is the staff. All the staff - reception, bar staff, entertainers, cleaners, chefs, cooks, etc were so helpful and polite and couldn't do enough to help you. The hotel itself was beautiful, clean, and spacious. We in fact had two rooms adjoining with a door through the middle so we were extremely pleased (especially with a 12 year old who likes to spend an hour in the shower!). The food was delicious with such variety. In fact we had intended to eat out a couple of times before we went but decided against it as we felt we wouldn't be served better elsewhere and we would have had to pay - even though we could afford it with 3 bingo wins!. That brings me on to the entertainment which was varied and enjoyable. There was something for all ages and all tastes at all times of the day. The pool was lovely and we all dipped in and out of it all day - it wasn't too cold for us and the one day out of 14 that we couldn't get sunbeds they got us some out of a store (nothing was too much trouble). I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone. My only reservation in giving such a good review is that I'm convinced they will put up the prices significantly next year!

This hotel was absolutely brilliant. We had originally got transferred from another hotel to this one and were meant to be on a half board basis only to arrive and be told that it was all inclusive, which was a great surprise!!

When first entering the hotel it was very modern and the reception staff were very helpful, and it was very easy to find our room. Our room was really lovely and spacious and immacuately cleaned every day, the cleaners did a really good job.

The pool bar was great and the bar men were very nice, you could have as many drinks as you wanted and no one blinked an eye. The bar stayed opened until 11.00 and then if you wanted to carry on there was another bar opened until 12.00.

The entertainment team done a very good job they worked all day and got both the kids and the adults to do different actvities from playing football to water games which were fun.

The hotel is situated about a 15 min walk away from the hotel which was fine as it is only a short distance away and if you don't want to walk there is a shuttle bus every 15 mins.

The hotel is a really lovely place and i would recommend it for anyone who wants a relaxing holiday whether as a group, a family or as a couple.

On arrival at the hotel it was 11pm, the staff was very polite & spoke good english, the hotel room was spotless with Air conditoning, the cleaners gave us clean towels every day apart from Sunday's. The food was absolutely beautiful such a good variety, not much for children in the evening, but the pool bar had food (chips, nuggetts, fish fingers etc) so my 2 children who are 9 & 10 munched alday so come evening meal wasn't bothered anyway. The pool was freezing but my boys wasn't that bothered was always in there anyway. Thought it was a bit of cheek having to pay for the pool table outside 2euros a go, got very costy especially with 2boys. The evening entertain was ok, couple of acts were good but the rest was very disappointing. The kids club was disappointing, my youngest (who's 9) went to the kids club but was the eldest there so didn't enjoy it, my eldest (who's nearly 11) joined up with all the teenagers but was the youngest, but he enjoys playing football, volleyball & darts. The 4 leaders do work very hard throughout the day & night. In all it was excellent, it was our first holiday abroad & it was lovely and hot & very relaxing, the boys really enjoy themselves. The shops are very close & the beach is too.

We stayed June 08 - absolutely lovely place !! The complex had just been refurbed and is absolutely spot on! The staff are all friendly and really helpfull, rooms are spacious and clean maids do a wonderfull job, food was great even with a fussy 2 year old ! Only thing I would change is the pools they were freezing esp in the morning but a lot of foreign ones are and they warm up during the day ! Cant comment on the entertainment as with a toddler by the time it was all starting ours were ready for bed ! We had a fab time and would def go back again ! its very worthy of the 3 star rating I think next year they will re brand this as a 4 star. Get their while you can still afford it ! enjoy !!!

JUST BACK 27JUNE, THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST PLACES I HAVE EVER STAYED. ON ARRIVAL STAFF AT RECEPTION WERE EXCELLENT,VERY FRIENDLY AND SPOKE PERFECT ENGLISH, WERE SHOWN HOW TO GET TO OUR ROOM BY ONE OF THE CLEANERS, VERY HELPFUL.

AFTER DROPPING CASES IN ROOM MADE OUR WAY TO RESTRAUNT, BEARING IN MIND IT IS 9.30 AT NIGHT AND NOT EXPECTING A COOKED MEAL,IMAGINE OUR SUPPRISE WHEN WHAT GREETS US LOOKS LIKE A BANQUET. THIS STANDARD OF FOOD CONTINUED FOR THE DURATION OF OUR STAY, THIS ALSO APPLIES TO THE POOL BAR EXCELLENT.

AT THE BAR IT WAS NOT LIKE OTHER ALL INC WHERE IT IS ONE DRINK PER PERSON YOU COULD HAVE WHATEVER YOU LIKED, AND THE BARSTAFF DID NOT MIND SERVING YOU WITH IT,THEY WERE ALWAYS HELPFUL AND HAD PLENTY OF TIME FOR EVERYONE .

THE ROOMS WERE ALL NEW AN ABSOLUTLY SPOTLESSLY CLEAN. CLEANERS DONE A VERY GOOD JOB.

I WOULD HAVE GIVEN THE HOTEL THE OVERALL RATING OF TEN BUT THE POOL WAS ABSOLUTELY FREEZING SO WE ONLY WENT IN IT ONCE THE ENTIRE WEEK. THAT IS WHY MY RATING HAS DROPPED TO A NINE.

THE HOTEL SHOULD BE NOT CLASSED AS 4 STAR, IT IS DEFINETALY WORTHY OF 5 STARS. I SHALL BE RETURNING TO THIS HOTEL AGAIN AND AGAIN IN THE FUTURE IT WAS THAT GOOD.

IF YOU DO GO TO LANZAROTE YOU MUST GO AND HIRE A CAR AND EXPLORE THE ISLAND THE SIGHTS ARE LIKE NOTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE, THE PLACES WE VISITED WERE ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING.

We visited the hotel when it re opened in June after re furbishment. Although the hotel was still not finished we were not disturbed at all by any building work going on which was our main concern. Our first impressions when we entered the receiption was clean, well maintained and the staff were more then helpful and spoke fluent english. The apartment was lovely, clean, the furnishings were all new and very modern. Our rooms were cleaned 6 days and fresh towels and toiletries. The catering was absolutely 1st class, there was so much choice at breakfast, lunch and tea and they even catered up to midnight fro a snack. The bar staff were also fantastic and although some of the amenities were not available, ie the gym, laundry room this did not spoil our holiday at all. The entertainment staff were also eager to please and not only encouraged the children to join in but also the adults and they made it real fun. Both myself and my husband and our party who we travelled with would absolutely re visit again and we feel we got our moneys worth from this resort. 10/10 fantastic

Had a fantastic first week in may 2007, but unfortunatly my wife had a stroke whilst dining on the 4th

However the head waiter, Raphael picked up my wife and drove her to the general hospital within 15 mins and I am pleased to say she is recovering quite well as a result of his assistance.

So remember, whenever you think you are having a problem with the food, entertainment or any other niggle ,- there are people just like Raphael to help. He was my wife`s "guardian angel" that night for sure.

An excellent holiday was had by us all (2 adults/2 children).



Room was very clean and we only seen a cockroach once outside our door. We were in block A (room 101) and it was great to be near the pool and dining area, but could be bit noisy at night with all the guests going back to rooms, but so what you’re on your hols! And you can catch up on any sleep next day at the pool.



Lots for kids to do, although mine preferred to stay in the pool most of the time, real water babes. We met lovely people from Bristol. We only stayed for 1 week but going back next year for 10 days.



Food was good, we never had a night were we didn’t get something that we all liked to eat, plenty of drinks and ice cream for kids... great.



Can’t wait till next year.

Had a great time here. Our...

Had a great time here. Our party was 4 adults and my 1-year-old daughter. No complaints at all.



All the staff were really friendly. We went all-inclusive; the food was good sometimes, nothing that I would have ordered myself but still always something I liked.



Pool was so cold but that’s what you want when its so hot! The pool area could do with a bit of a facelift however it’s nothing that would spoil the holiday. Could do with more bar staff usually only 1 person serving day and night but still no long queues.



Didn’t see much of the entertainment as was with baby so in early each night but other people there seemed to enjoy.



Only reason not giving the holiday 10/10 is due to the games played in the pool everyday. Volleyball etc took up the whole area except the shallow end which was full of kiddies.



All in all had a fab time and would definitely go back!

I stayed at the Lanzarote bay in May this year with my four year old daughter. It was brilliant.



Rooms were excellent very spacious, only saw 2 cockroaches. Hotel was lovely, staff were very friendly and helpful. All inclusive food was very good, never had to go hungry.



Entertainment was ok, the usual for most hotels. Never had any trouble getting sunbeds round the pool.



All in all the holiday was brilliant, would defo return to this hotel again in the near future.
