just returned from a really lovely week at the lanzorote bay,rooms are like a self-contained apartment and immacuately presented.we are a mixed group of grand-parents,teenagers and parents and none of us had any complaints.we would return there in a heart-beat,accomadation was better than some 5* we have stopped at and of course fabulous weather.just prepare to be thoroughly depressed when you get back-do go.

Stayed at the hotel in September 2010 Hotel was very clean and the rooms were modern and attractive. Staff were excellent, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The entertainment team were enthusiatic, but left you alone if thats what you wanted. The food was varied and plenty of choice. Not sure what official rating is, but as good if not better than many 4 stars we have stayed in.

This was our second stay at Hotetur Lanzarote Bay and I have to say we weren't let down. The apartments were spotless, the staff, from the receptionists to the cleaners were all very friendly. The food was very good with plenty to choose from. The resort itself is very clean and tidy with 3 beaches to choose from. There are lots of trips on offer and I would definitely recommend the 'Grand Tour' of the Island, it was a brilliant day out. Would definitely come back to this for a third visit.

On arrival we (2 + daughter of 17) were pleasantly surprised to see they kept the restaurant open for us as we arrived bang on closing time which was a nice gesture.
Rooms are large as they have a small kitchen/dining area in the lounge with a separate bedroom and beds are certainly comfortable enough to sleep on.
We had 2 problems with the room both of which were dealt with by an amazingly efficient maintenance team within 30 mins of reporting them - very impressive. One of them resulted in us changing rooms and once again the staff were great in assisting moving all our stuff.
Food is good with plenty of choice, not as much as in other places we have stayed but as this is a much smaller hotel (only 200 rooms) we thought it was acceptable, for example there was always at least 5 main courses to choose from (not including pizza, pasta, burgers etc).
The pool area is very nice with plenty of space so we never felt crowded. Sunbeds were readily available up to about 9am or even 10am on some changeover days, with no urgent need to reserve them too early unless you wanted a specific 'spot'. The pool itself feels cold when you first get in but is in fact lovely and refreshing after 'basking' under the hot sun. It never seemed to get too crowded either and there was a very safe sloped entry and shallow end ideal for little ones.
The main beach is only a 15min walk away and is lovely soft sand with no rocks in the water, so super safe and well patrolled by lifeguards too.
The all inclusive aspect worked well with all drinks including tea/coffee and hot snacks from the pool bar all day and the main bar and entertainment bar in the evening.
The bar staff worked their socks off, so busy but always ready for a quick word with you. Twice a week there was live music in the bar which made a nice change from piped music and there was always the option of sitting outside by the pool sipping your post dinner drinks, lovely.
The entertainment was not really up to much except for a couple of the professional shows which were very good, but the entertainment venue is rather poor in terms of atmosphere but that didn't bother us too much as after a day catching the rays followed by several 'beers' we tended to be in bed before 11pm.
We only did one trip - the vulcano half day and all we can say is that it is a must, including the camel ride (very amusing) !!!!
All in all a very relaxing holiday and we'd definitely go back.

I realise the apartments are rated 2 stars, however, I feel compelled to share my experience.
On arrival we were met by an unfriendly receptionist who appeared to hate his job. We then made our way to the room which smelt like smoke. I think they should have at least sprayed some air-freshener for the apartment’s new guests.
The apartment was fine for two people with two single beds, a small kitchen, living room and a large closet. I was disappointed that the bath room door wouldn’t close, but it wasn’t a great problem.
However, after several days the bath room became infested with worms, which I can only describe as parasite looking. They appeared to come from the piping and tiles. Doing a Google search I have discovered that other apartments at Lanzarote have had similar incidents with bathroom worms. I believe they may have been “mermithid nematode” also know as Horsehair worms, which is a parasite of insects. These could have come from the cockroaches bringing me to my next drama.
I then found a cockroach running across the kitchen floor, so I got bug spray from the reception and sprayed the room. This literally caused cockroaches to pour from the lights in the ceiling and we had to switch apartments. Several days later, in the new apartment I opened the kitchen cupboard to get a pan only to find a cockroach. While I understand cockroaches come with the territory, they do not need to be in the apartments.

Returned on 12/8/10 from this hotel after 1 weeks stay. Was there with 17 yrs old daughter and it 3 weeks before leaving. Unsure at first as this was our first time on this island and all-inclusive holiday. Why was I concerned I have to say it was one of the best relaxing holidays we have ever had. The hotel was exceptionally clean and all staff from Receptionist to the gardeners were very polite and friendly. The food was brilliant there was a good choice. One evening chef was carving a huge joint of pork which was so tender it melted in your mouth. There was choice from the usual chips and pizza for children to more exotic Canarian foods. The times of the meals suited as well. My daughter has problems with mornings(quite normal for a teenager) but she was up for breakfast as this ended at 10:30 so I did not have any hassel getting her up. The Animation team worked hard to get people doing things through the day.

My fiance and I have just returned from 1 week at the Lanzarote Bay (All Inclusive). It is a lovely hotel with very friendly and polite staff. Stayed in a spacious room overlooking the pool.
A lot of people have complained about the food, but I found there to be a good selection at all times. The hotel was really clean and in a good location, just a five minute walk to the nearest beach. It was about a 15 walk to the centre which had a variety of shops, restaurants and bars.
It is a great resort for couples and families, not so much for "party animals".
Weather was quite cloudy in the mornings but got hotter throughout the day.
My fiance and I had a great time and would definitely return to Costa Teguise and to the Lanzarote Bay.

We returned from a weeks stay on Thursday 25th Feb.
On arrival we found the receptionist extremely friendly and welcoming, and that continued throughout our stay. Our apartment had beautiful views over the pools and mountains and we were very happy with the size of it. The apartment was clean, although I would say the bathroom was very tatty,with stained towels. We also had a bedroom wall light hanging off the wall, but despite the tired decor and old fashioned units, the kitchen area had everything one would need if self catering, microwave oven, hob but no oven.
We had paid for all inclusive and wish we hadn't, the hot food was often cold,and the deserts were every colour of blancmange one could think of for lunch and dinner every day, and the variety non existent. We noticed afterwards that one could have paid daily for all inclusive if you wanted at the hotel, and that would have been a cheaper option. The room was kept clean by the cheerful maids and the general areas around the pool was also kept clean, rubbish bins regularly emptied. In the dining room though the their were lots of leaks from the ceiling with buckets underneath!!! This fawlty towers aspect would have offended lots of diners but I just thought it was quite amusing. Do not rely on the entertainment, bingo, or quiz nights which were extended beyond the normal length proved tedious and not entertaining. However, if you are looking for a cheap cheerful break, with friendly staff, I would recommend staying here self catering. It is a lovely area, and a short walk to Playa Blanca beach which has numerous things for families, a great beach good cafes, bars, shops and restaurants, and gorgeous huts selling beautiful ice cream!!! The area feels very family safe and we will return their with the children.
