We stayed at Hyde Park Lane for 2 weeks July/Aug 26, 2A and 2C aged 11&5. We have been to Lanzarote multiple times but this was out first stay at HPL and we weren't disappointed. Reception area very clean and smells lovely. Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. We stayed in a one bed bungalow over the road and to the right which seemed like the quieter area which was nice. The bungalow was very clean and well equipped with shower gel, shampoo, soap, washing up liquid and a sponge. Microwave, coffee machine and all the utensils etc you need to get by in self catering. I believe they don't have air con but the rooms are 'climate controlled' we had read reviews about this not being very good but ours was great. i woke up cold a couple of nights it worked so well. It was lovely coming back in to a cool bungalow from the heat outside and we kept the curtains closed in the day to help with the heat too. Had two beds in the bedroom and a bed in the living area plus the settee made into a bed. All of which were really comfortable and clean. Plenty of space within the bungalow. Nice clean bathroom with shower and double sink and toilet. Hair dryer also in the bathroom which was powerful. All Staff were nice and friendly, from reception, cleaners and lifegaurds and the shop and bar. We asked for extra pillows and they were delivered to out bungalow 10minutes later. Grounds and pool all well kept and clean. There are two pools which we didn't know before visiting. The main one near reception with the pool bar. This one has music on all day and entertainment programme plenty of beds. The other one is across the road where we were staying and is a quieter pool, no music and less sunbeds. We only used this one. The pool is salt water and cold but after the initial shock it is perfect in the heat. Toilets and showers next to the pool all very clean. People would leave towels on sunbeds and by 10 11 not even be there so lifeguards would regularly go round and remove them. We ended up with someone's beds at 10.30 when the lifeguard removed towels for us to have them. The family didnt turn up until gone 2pm ans then expected their towels to still be in place. I don't agree with this so personally I was happy the lifeguards did this. Hyde park is located 5minutes or so from the beach and then 15minutes from the front start of PFC strip another 10minutes and you are in the heart of it. The strip goes on for a good hours walk. Location might not be great for everyone especially with mobility issues but we like a walk so location fine for us. If not a taxi is €5. Becuase of the kids we would sometimes get a taxi into PDC and then walk back. Feels totally safe to walk back to in the dark. We didnt go to the entertainment but it was just singers on a rota for the month. We could hear some of it from our bungalow on the couple od nights we were back at that time. Food from the pool bar was really nice and reasonably priced ans good portions. Pizza..nuggets, chicken wings, burgers, salads, chips. We ate at rhe restaurant one morning for breakfast €12 per adult and kids ate free. It was ok. All the usual meats and cheeses and salad which all looked nice. Chef making omelette and fried eggs on request. Fresh pancakes which were really nice. Weren't a fan of the scrambled eggs or bacon or sausage though. Evening meal was €18 per adult and kids ate free. Didn't rate this at all. Food was just warm and just nothing much to make a meal, just lots of different things. Plus with 1 or 2 soft drinks each it cost €70 in total and tou could pay that in one of the hundreds of restaurants in PDC, los Pocillos or Matagorda for a much nicer tastier meal. We tried them once but wouldn't bother again. Recommend Golden Corner in PDC for a €3 Breakfast. Fu Gui in Matagorda for a Chinese meal. Peeking Duck in PDC for Chinese buffet amd great views (14€ adult & €7 children) and many many more to choose from. Overall I cant fault HPL especially for the price, in comparison to others. We like it so muxh whilst there we already booked for Aug 27 and bringing our friends with us.
Don't book these apartments for Christmas. The room was damp, musty and dirty. Running water down the windows. No customer service. Blunt reception staff. Won't help. Won't even order taxis. A disaster from start to finish. Ruined our Christmas.
Amazing peaceful villas which are in a perfect location! Highly recommend.
Bungalows were so spacious and really clean! We loved being beside the quiet pool as it was so relaxing and then moving to the hot tub at the busier pool some days for a change. The breakfast had lots of choice and we really enjoyed it. The hotel had a shop on site with a coffee machine priced at only 70 cents per coffee which was amazing. It was close to the strip and beach so great location. However, the aircon in our room was not great, especially during hot nights. Reception sent a man to fix it twice and it made no real difference. They said they would have a better look at it once we left which didn’t help. We would 100% recommend lance from rent it quick lanzorate as he hires out air con units for €50 per week. The hotel only changes your pool towels once a week and weren’t overly happy for us to pay extra to get them changed more regularly so we had to buy more towels once the strip to make do for the week. Noise level was fine as we were situated across the street, however, I think if you were staying near the main pool/reception, you may have struggled with the noise of the entertainment in the evening as it’s very close but no complaints from where our room was. The hotel did leave wine and a birthday card in our room which was a lovely touch. How clean the hotel was would make us come back
What a wonderful place. So clean great air con and friendly staff. We stayed in room 122 for 2 weeks 2 adults and two children. Plenty of space but definately take extra hangers ( we bought travel ones with us) entertainment by way of a singers or group every night. Kids club on 5 days a week huge thank you to David aka Mr Potato head he was just wonderful with our kids! 5pm kids mini disco at the pool they loved it! Fed the wild paraqueets was just amazing. Our kids love David! Jerry the entertainment guy was fab! So much energy really good guy. You are looking at €4 for a pint at the pool bar and around €13 euros for a pizza. Laundrette by the shop is €4 and you can buy laundry pods in the shop for €1.20 a pod. Pools were great as was the hot tub. Breakfast €12 and kids eat free it was very nice lots of choice. 10 min walk to start of PDC strip around €3 to €4 euros back in a taxi. Around 10-15 min walk down to los piccolos and if you want to brave the heat about a further 20 mins onto matagorda. We walk to Rancho texas park mostly pavement but on very uneven part so we got taxi back for €3. Rooms cleaned every other day. Stray cats were adorable they are very well looked after by the hotel. There is a charity shop onsite and all proceeds go to feeding the cats. Location is a little far out but that didnt bother us. We will definately be back. Thank you HPL! X
