" Nice hotel but lacks atmosphere! "

I have just returned from a weeks stay at the Natura Palace. The hotel itself if spacious but certainly lacks atmosphere. I wouldnt recommend this as a family hotel at all, not really anything for the kids to do and nobody seems to be around to get the kids together and get them involved in any activities that are supposedly advertised! Entertainment is again lifeless, after the advertised show of the evening which is always in the bar inside the hotel, you might as well go to bed as there is nothing else on. I wouldn;t stay there again purely for the fact that the staff dont seem to make an effort with the guests and the hotel is simply soul less!

Advice: Quiet resort, nice harbour but not really any nice beaches nearby unless you have a car

Activities: Take a trip to the volcanoes - amazing

" Amazing Holiday! "

We araived at the hotel about mid day. Getting off the coach the hotel looked stunning, all glass. walking through he reseption we were amazed, mable floor BIG open reseption a seating area with a bar and piano. As everyone knows first ipressions are important, we were blown away. We wern't use to going on holiday to a place such as good as this.
The room - a decent size bathroom with a shower and bath, big mirror and toilet. The room was very clean, A double bed and a sofa bed both comfy. Now onto the balcony ... AMAZING VIEW! We have never had such good view as thi before. The pool, the sea and you could the Furtoventura. It truely was incredible. Going down for breakfast and evening meal was lovely, you wait and a waiter come and takes you to your table. At each breakfats and evening meal we never had the samething and there was so much choice. I never had on single complain about the meal at all, espically the deserts were gorgeous.
The pool was small but lovely. However, they had two pools and a jacuzzi so you can't really conplain. The beach was a 10minute walk away along the sea front but you could get a taxi into the town were there was a better lovely white sand beach.
This holiday is more a relazing holiday than a mad clubbing type.
No problems at all it was truely brilliant!!!

" Natura Palace "

The Natura Palace is all a good holiday hotel should be. It was spotless,spacious,good views of Forteventura,pleasant staff. The food was good ,asmuch as you can eat,and loads of choice.The entertainment was just OK,the animation staff worked hard.
This hotel is not for teenagers or young adults, they should go to Costa Teguise. For the over 40`s its great,but the mattresses and pillows need a refit

Advice: Would go again IF they upgrade the beds

Activities: Timanfaya National Park

Good for: Beach

" Wonderful Holiday "

The weather was very warm with a breeze to soften the temperature, it was very safe to walk about, the hotel was extremely clean, staff very helpful, the food was wonderful lots of choices. The one trip I chose to go on was the Grand Tour which showed me the rest of the island and the glorious volcanoes, not forgetting the swaying camel ride! Lots of friendly people to chat to along the way outside or in the hotel. For me on my own it was a wonderful holiday and I am pleased that what I asked the travel agent for for was what I got. I would go back again but hope they have updated the mattresses and pillows!!

" Relaxed break "

Great holiday. Hotel and staff high standard.
Food excellent really enjoyed the choice.
Level walk outside of hotel next to the sea ideal for leisure stroll.
Would recommend to friends.
Submarine dive a little disappointing seemed to be trying to cram as many dives as possible into a day and then very little time in the resort about 20 minutes.
Only one thought for the hotel please cut down the top branches of the tree outside of room 2108 so a little more sea view is possible.
Staff professional and friendly.
High level of cleanliness.

" Relaxing "

The overall holiday was lovely and relaxing. The rooms were clean and every morning the cleaners made beds, changed towels etc. However, our double bed was absolutely uncomfortable with what felt like springs coming out of the matress. We had a sea facing room which was very nice as we could also listen to the ocean from our balcony.
The food was excellent and various dishes to choose from. The waiters were also very heplful.
We found the entertainment very poor indeed, especially bearing in mind the time of the year. For a 4 star hotel we definitely expected 4 star entertainment. After dinner, we felt there wasnt anything to do. We asked for a pack of cards and were given a pack in Spanish. The table tennis bats were in tatters, but we had a game or two.
Also the beach was quite a distance from the hotel and will make sure next time that the travel agents tells us quite clearly that the beach isnt right in front of the hotel which is what we would have preferred. We didnt mind the walk but had my elderly mother with us so it was quite a distance for her.
The architecture of the hotel was beautiful.
However, on the whole a very relaxing holiday, maybe too relaxing with nothing to do in the evenings after dinner.

" Just got back from a wonderful... "

Just got back from a wonderful holiday. I would recommend this hotel to anybody who just wants a complete rest. We love it so much we have been there three years in a row!! We met quite a few other families that we recognised from last year also.

Kids club is brilliant, pool area very clean, food is excellent, staff are extremely polite and helpful, happy and take pride in their jobs. We have a 6-year-old and she loves it there!

The only thing I would say is that it may not be to everybody's taste, as there are no nightclubs and no lagar louts!

There is a lovely walk to Playa Blanca - it is a good walk though and takes around 45minutes, but the walk is along a safe, traffic free walkway right next to the sea.

Natura Palace is a beautiful hotel in a peaceful area and any other hotel would have a lot to live up to in comparison.

" just got back from lanzarote, nature... "

just got back from lanzarote, nature palace hotel. what more can i say than it was fantastic. the staff were extreamly helpful even through the late hours of the night, the reps gave us all the information we needed and were also extreamly helpful. what can i say about the food, really good, alot of choice as well.
the second the coach came to drop us off at natura we thought we definatly chose the right hotel. this was our first time coming here. and from all the 4 star hotels in the area this one was for sure the best.
the reason i didnt give them 10/10 was because they could have better entertainment. but thats the only downside.
but overall i would say book this hotel! your not making any mistakes! try bringing the good weather back though! haha

" we are returning to this hotel again... "

we are returning to this hotel again on thurs 24/04 as it is superb!
the rooms are very well kept and spacious, food was very good and varied along with special themed nights throughout the stay.
we had our first visit here on our honeymoon and keep returning as lanazarote is such a lovely relaxing place!!
it is as said before a quiet hotel so you will be dissapointed if you expect a party atmosphere, but playa blanca town is a cheap taxi ride away!
would definately recommend

" Just returned from a week at the... "

Just returned from a week at the Natura Palace Hotel in Lanzarote. The hotel is really well appointed.
The food was good and varied and the staff were friendly and helpful. We had a two for one deal through Thomson which made it really good value.

A word of warning : this is not the hotel and Playa Blanca is not the resort for you if you want wild nightlife. (not in February anyway), the entertainment was nothing special. However, if you want a quiet break in a good hotel then Natura Palace is highly recommended.

A seafront promenade runs past the hotel to the town centre which is about two miles away. The Marina with boutiques, cafes, shops and the Saturday market is another mile.

Like a previous comment, the Thomson flight was cramped to the extreme, buy the extra legroom seats in advance (very expensive to upgrade at the airport), but also complain to Thomson, if enough do maybe they'll increase the space for cattle class passengers.

" This was our 3rd visit to this hotel... "

This was our 3rd visit to this hotel and it seems to get better with each visit.

The hotel is very spacious and as a very relaxing feel to it, the rooms are a reasonable size and most of them overlook the sea from very nice balconies.

The food and service in the restaurant is very good and hardly any waiting to be shown to your table.

The pool area is excellent with two pools and plenty of sunbeds.

We will certainly be returning to this hotel again.

" I have just returned from the Hotel... "

I have just returned from the Hotel Natura Palace in Playa Banca, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The hotel was spotless, our room was in a perfect position overlooking the sea and both pools, all staff and Thompson’s reps friendly and always willing to help. Although Playa Blanca was a quiet area, if you are looking for a relaxing break in an amazing hotel then it’s a perfect holiday.

" Just got back from our 4th visit in... "

Just got back from our 4th visit in as many years and have already booked our 5th.

If it’s a complete rest and wind down, this is the place to go. The hotel is magnificent, so much space.

Food although not a varied as a couple of years ago is fine. Always plenty of choice. I agree with a previous review that a few more staff would be helpful to speed clearing away used plates.

The piano/lounge bar is comfy and spacious, but service is slow. We preferred to use the bar just across the road.

Our room was on the 2nd floor with pool views. Nice large balcony and cleaned every day.

The pool area is good, with plenty of sun loungers and never gets busy.

Taxis into Playa Blanca are 3-4 Euros or if you prefer a good 30 mins walk.

Hotel is not really suited for teenagers, as there is not much for them to do.

Overall, excellent hotel.

" Thomson flight -terrible, cramped... "

Thomson flight -terrible, cramped (Row 33) Bite the bullet and pay the extra for "premium" seats. Cabin crew outbound grumpy and unhelpful and only seemed interested in selling stuff. I stood for 20 minutes by loos stretching and rubbing my legs nobody asked if I was ok!

Hotel - Lovely, spacious (lobby 5 stories high, and 165 metres wide) Staff - lovely, friendly helpful. Room - spacious, clean, comfortable. Ours overlooked pool - get room on second story or higher if you can, most overlook pool. Great views. Food - OK, varied and plentiful BUT often hot food was not hot only lukewarm.

Hot plates would help - only found to the right of "show cooking" (where you wait for whatever is being cooked, usually 4 choices). I often resorted to putting my food in microwave.

" Clean, quiet, comfortable, good food,... "

Clean, quiet, comfortable, good food, plenty of space, average entertainment.

Thomson reps were a let-down (as usual)!

Decent tea-pots that don't spill the contents everywhere would be nice, as would labelling of some of the puddings.

A great hotel. Sparkle up the entertainment a bit and maybe it will be 10 out of 10 next time!
