Riu Paraiso Lanzarote

it is to early to tell completely - but we have been allocated x2 rooms in the far flung reaches of the hotel with a flat roof view - even though I booked very early doors through Tui - not the best I have ever stayed in and first time in Riu quite possibly the last - i have a disability and have to walk miles to all the main bits of hotel - if booking make sire you are not in rooms starting with 2. I will review again after the holiday.

First time holidaying in th EU for some time. This hotel did not disappoint:- Hotel 15 mins from Airport. Taxi under 15 euros. Hotel check in very quick . Very helpful staff. Location is opposite a vast stretch of beach . A rear security gate at rear of hotel gives access to that and if you walk left or rifgt there are peanty of shops bars and resurants to enjoy. Should you wish . Recommend Volcano golf and ten pin 10 mins walk to the right. Cleanliness. The entire hotel is spotless set within vast grounds which are well kept. Good sized rooms very comfortable beds. Great shower. Cream and body wash in the shower is good. The shower worked well and always had hot water. Shame there is no daily fridge water and soft drink fridge top up. Water in bottles is supplied from the lobby bar. Otherwise bars at quiet pool and the main pool all have self service coffee , wine , beer and soft drinks. Pluss bar service. Bar staff are great would be lovely to have a pool service though. The food at all meal times is hot, plentiful , varied and very tasty. Which goes for the 2 special restaurants also. Poolside is great fun . The animation team will keep you busy all day with a variety of games if you so wish they are hilarious. They also provide some of the night entertainment. All in all the facilities and the hardworking staff make this a great hotel and we are looking forward to re booking another stay next year.

This was our second visit to the Riu Paraiso, and after loving it so much the first time, we just had to come back! We’ve had another fabulous holiday and wouldn’t be surprised if we visit for a third time. The hotel is clean, spacious and well maintained, with plenty of room around the pools and communal areas. The food was good overall, although it could be a little repetitive at times. That said, there was always plenty of choice and you could easily find something different to eat. The staff were all pleasant, friendly and helpful, but a special mention has to go to Alicia, who looked after our table most days and was absolutely lovely. The location is fantastic — directly opposite a beautiful sandy beach and within walking distance of both Puerto del Carmen and Los Pocillos, so there’s plenty to explore if you fancy getting out and about. The pools were quite cold, but this was actually very welcome, especially on the hotter days! We didn’t see much of the evening entertainment, but the daytime animation team were something else — full of energy and really entertaining! Our only real criticism would be the lack of air conditioning in the reception area. On particularly hot days, it was incredibly uncomfortable when sitting or waiting there, and we feel this is something the hotel could really improve. It would also be beneficial to have some toilets available on the reception level, particularly as many of the guests are older and may find having to go downstairs inconvenient. Overall, we’ve had another fantastic stay and would happily return. It really does feel like a place we could keep coming back to! ❤️

Fabulous base for exploring the Island. All inclusive was good. The place was spotless and the staff were lovely. Not sure why I have read negative feedback just couldn’t fault the place.

Visit this hotel beginning of Sept 2026 for one week. The accommodation and hotel is very clean, friendly staff. However there is 2 hotels in one, the main hotel is where main food hall is and pool entertainment/ night entertainment. We where accommodated in the other side of the hotel, approximately 5 mins walk. This part of the hotel has 2 large pools and snack/ bar, no entertainment at all, no music, etc, which can be a bit boring. So if you need entertained, I would suggest the main hotel pool. The night entertainment , food and drinks our average, this could be improved as an suggestion, bar only offer non Brand alcohol drinks, with branded soft drinks( coke, fanta, etc. The hotel is walking distance approximately 10 minutes from local bars, restaurants, if need a break from hotel. Pick up clean sunbed towels from each pool daily, late arrivals from the life guards, no need for the quick dash in the morning to reserve a Sunbed, as there is plenty to go around.
