Barcelo Lanzarote Active Resort

Came for 4 nights at the hotel and we had a super time. Our room got changed to a sea view room and the view was lovely, the hotel room was super comfortable and nice and had air con. You can exit the hotel directly onto the beach, which has a good path to walk on and a cycle path which can take you to 2 close by towns The food was nice, there was all kinds to choose from, including fruit, hot food, and also sweet stuff. We had breakfast and dinner included and both were buffet. The dining area was nice too with a view of the pools. One thing about the food that wasn’t so good is that not all the foods were labelled, so it wasn’t indicated whether they contained gluten for example. so my bf who is celiac often couldn’t find that many options to choose from at mealtimes, which weren’t specifically at the gluten free section (which in itself didn’t have that much to choose from) There are a few pools in the hotel, 1 which was heated. There are lots of sunbeds around but it was a little manic, as you had to wait at 9am to reserve a sunbed or it was likely you wouldn’t be able to find a spare one all day. Just going as a couple, we couldn’t find 2 sunbeds together all day if we didn’t reserve them at 9am. The hotel does say you can’t reserve sunbeds but still happened. The animation team did activities like pool yoga, dancing in the water and exercises with floats, they also did water polo. You can hire bikes at the hotel, the Olympic pool was really good, you just need a swimming cap though but they are sold for 5 euros in reception if you need one. The hotel gym is good too and has lots of equipment. There are shops close by and a supermarket directly outside the hotel as well which was convenient. To get there, we got 2 buses from the airport which was easy and we got off right in front of the hotel, it only costed 1.40 euros on each bus, and took about 40 mins to get there.

I stayed here for a week and had an absolutely fantastic experience. The rooms were fab – huge, spotless, and very comfortable, making it easy to relax. The food was another highlight: the range on offer was incredible, and as a vegetarian I was really impressed with the variety and quality available every day. A very special thanks goes to the animation team, especially Tim and Raquel. They were brilliant throughout my stay – always friendly, full of energy, and constantly interacting with us. They really made every activity fun and engaging, and thanks to them I enjoyed every moment. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and will definitely be coming back!

We have just come back from a lovely holiday at the Barcelo Active. The room we stayed in was very clean and comfortable, the only issue was it smelt a bit musty. The food was great and there was always something you could find to eat. We appreciated just how hard the catering staff work and the challenges faced in trying to please all cultures and palates. The entertainment team were amazing all very friendly and accommodating, especially Tim he was brilliant, so likeable and talented. The only issues we found where the musty smell in the room and also the subbed, very uncomfortable, they could do with upgrading. On the whole we would 💯 percent recommend this hotel and will hopefully return with my family in the future. A big Thank you to all the staff for a lovely holiday.

Absolutely stunning hotel,bit of a walk to the square of costa teguise but you have everything you may need on the resort anyway. The rooms are cleaned everyday and to a great standard. The pools are perfect temperature,as you have one side heated up and the other colder. More than enough sunbeds,but i do recommend coming down ready for 9 o'clock as there is a bit of a queue to get the best ones. A great range of food for kids aswell,and a good range for adults,have the main foods like pizzas chips and pasta everyday and swap around the other food,as we've had steaks,chicken,lovely paellas. The staff are lovely and helpful and say Buenos dias every morning with a bright smile,entertainment at night is excellent for both kids and adults. Overall highly reccomend you stay here,you won't regret it...

What a great place! Great gym, huge class timetable, love the olympic pool and can hire bikes. That being said, lots of loungers for chill time too. All the staff are working incredibly hard here, kitchen, cleaners, reception, gym staff and activities - shout out to Guille, we did 3 of his classes and enjoyed them all. Also Luca by the pool. Beds comfortable, rooms clean and cleaned a lot. Great food options for all meals, loved the salad bar and also that there was always variety. The paelles were my fave. Honestly can't recommend enough, thank you.
