Elba Lanzarote Royal Village Resort

We recently stayed at this hotel as a couple for a last minute relaxed getaway. We had a very pleasant stay and would recommend it to other travellers - but probably more families than couples. The reason for not giving a 5* review is our feeling around the adults only areas of the hotel. Although we did not book the Premium Suites, we did not realise this prohibits two adults from using any of the adults only areas. I have not come across this before and it felt unnecessarily strict. As a result, we were restricted to using the main restaurant, lounge bar and pool area. These areas are great for families with kids, but we were desperate to get away for some peace and quiet, something which was hard to find at times without staying in the garden of our suite. It is worth noting, for those with young kids, the Animation team is superb. We went along to a few of the evening shows in the theatre, which were very enjoyable for both kids and adults. The food in the all inclusive range is also very decent and is changed for each meal daily. Drinks are also good, with the standard range of all inclusive beverages on offer (including Cruzcampo on tap 👀) Overall, this is a very pleasant hotel, with great facilities for families, alongside a well equipped spa (although sauna was broken during our stay), gym and tennis courts etc. For those who want a quiet adult only hotel, be prepared to pay quite a bit more for the Premium Suites (identical to Comfort/Junior suites - just behind a keycarded gate), which will give you access to the adults only pool and bar area, plus the upstairs bar/restaurant.

The entertainment team are the best, you can tell how much effort they put into what they do. Every single one of them do their job perfect. This is our second time coming and we are happy to be here and come back again year after year. It’s perfect for families. Dani is amazing with the kids and even the adults he’s so funny and brings lots of laughs and smiles to peoples faces when he’s on stage, he’s a credit and what makes a holiday even better. Thank you Elba for the best holiday we could ask for.

Just returned from a stay at Elba Lanzarote Royal Village and overall, I’ve been impressed. The resort is well laid out, making it easy to navigate and giving it a relaxed, spacious feel. One of the standout features is the pool area – a great mix of saltwater and chlorine pools, which are well maintained and perfect for both relaxing and swimming. The food options so far have been very good, with a decent variety and quality across the meals. The bars, although not heavily staffed, are surprisingly efficient – drinks are served quickly and the staff are friendly and helpful. Another plus is the location. It’s just a short 10-minute walk to the beach, which is ideal for a quick dip or an evening stroll. The only downside worth mentioning is the lack of air conditioning in the eat and drink area, including the showroom where the evening entertainment takes place. It can get quite stuffy, especially during warmer evenings, and having proper ventilation or air con would make a big difference to the comfort level. Overall, a very enjoyable stay and I’d definitely consider coming back – especially if they sort out the air circulation in the shared indoor areas.

This is a 4 star place that's delivery is 2 star. While the staff are friendly and try their best, there's simply not enough of them. Service is slow, longer queues for drinks and wait for food services. Meal times and evening drinks, plates are left uncleared and glass uncollected. Ended up having to do most clearance ourselves. Even worse often run out of glasses in evening arriving in cracked plastic or paper cups. Premium dining experience was hit and miss, first night at the Italian was amazing second night disappointed. Drinks orders forgotten as staff are run off their feet, or simply not taken. Certainly not for vegetarian or vegan. Rooms are good, but please employ more staff.

Brilliant hotel, great fun! Amazing kids club remembering my daughters name even when not in the club x. My daughters love pepe so much! The guys in the kids club And animation team are so good and a real laugh x food has good variety, pool is lovely. Its a little bit of a walk to the beach but a free bus ride or less than 5 euro taxi and your at the harbour of beach in no time. We would 💯 return x
