Puerto del Carmen

The Hotel Riu Paraiso Lanzarote is located in south-east Lanzarote, an island that is home to volcanos and beaches of magical colours. It is at Playa de Los Pocillos, just behind the vast beachfront promenade.

With a fresh and elegant style, the Hotel Riu Paraiso Lanzarote has over 500 comfortable rooms designed to guarantee a pleasant and relaxing stay on the beachfront. After a good night's sleep, there's nothing better than a good buffet breakfast and a refreshing dip in the pool. The hotel has 4 outdoor pools with a sun deck and 2 children's pools. What's more, some of the pools are heated, making them perfect for the winter season. This hotel at Playa de Los Pocillos guarantees fun for all ages.

TripAdvisor Review
Second and last visit.

Our second time at this hotel and it was slightly different to what I remember..

We requested adjoining rooms (if possible) but we could not be granted this due one being a family room.

The hotel advised they had upgraded my parents for free and they were next door to us. We had rooms 045/046

The family room was not a family room. It was simple an apartment with a bedroom (two singles pushed together) air con which I don’t normally use but had to on this occasion due to the heat and my nieces had the sofa bed pulled out to make a Z bed…. This meaning…… nowhere to sit, the children paying the same price as paying adult but get the most I comfiest bed but furthermore, there was no air con in this part of the apartment…

Shower was ample for what we needed and placing the towels on the floor/ in the shower they were kindly changed…

There was a mini fridge and you can get bottles of water from the lobby bar…

The living room area is the apartment was very musty….

There are two pool area. They class the oblong pool down within the old part of the hotel is very strict with the life guards. Your jog permitted lilos balls actually enjoying yourself the top part of the hotel two square pools and this is where the Riu entertainment is….

One part of this your permitted to have fun…

The food was fine different specialist every night however three members of our family did unfortunately get food poisoning… but Overall ample foods for everybody.

What let us down and what we can’t remember the last time.. SELF SERVICE DRINKS unless alcohol which are made out of a machine.. the drinks become very flat very quickly and are not cold.

Several other restaurants you can book, gym is very standard and a shop on site

A gate at the bottom entrance straight across the road to the beach and only a few minutes walk to the main strip.

We have been a couple of times but would not return

Fantastic holiday

We recently spent 11 nights here. I have mobility issues and requested a low room in the main building. We were allocated 129 which was ground floor and just a short walk to the pool and restaurants etc so a perfect location

Check in was very quick and even though it was still very early our room was ready. The room was spotless and a really good size with comfortable beds and lots of storage. Large bathroom with a walk in shower and toiletries provided.

All staff we encountered were lovely in all parts of the hotel

The food was excellent with lots of choice at each meal. We mostly had lunch in pepes whilst sat by the pool

We stayed at the main pool during our stay. We were always able to get 2 beds together. There is a second pool where they do activities during the day. We didn’t venture to the other side of the hotel so can’t comment about what the pools etc were like there

We really enjoyed the entertainment in the evenings although quite a few of the nights the football was on in the entertainment room but we expected this. There was also plenty of space in the bar area or just outside if you didn’t want to watch the entertainment

Overall we had an amazing time and definitely plan to return

Didn’t want to come home

Absolutely amazing Hotel and staff, food amazing, drinks fabulous and location just right, plenty of sunbeds available but obviously don’t leave it until mid afternoon to try and get one. Cleaners and maids don’t stop and a credit to the hotel as well are the bar staff. Atmosphere great and that’s all down to the entertainment staff who don’t stop. On arrival our room was upgraded so all good, room quite spacious with big balcony. So overall what a great week.

Brilliant apart from the football

2nd time at hotel, had a great time. staff incredible, entertainment was best I've seen at any hotel. rooms cleaned every day and always found a seat near pool or stages. food was great,can't wait to go back next year. only problem was football taking over main theatre and lobby bars hence 4 not 5 stars. other than that brilliant. wish we'd booked this week instead.

Honest review

​ Excellent 7-Day Stay – Highly Recommend!

​My wife and I recently returned from a fantastic 7-night stay here, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From start to finish, the holiday was incredibly relaxing and completely hassle-free.

The Service: Every member of the staff we encountered was warm, welcoming, and attentive. Check-in was smooth, and we felt well looked after the entire week.

​Accommodations: Our room was spotless, modern, and very comfortable. It served as the perfect base to unwind after a day in the sun.

​Atmosphere & Amenities: The pool areas and grounds were beautifully maintained.

​We didn't experience a single issue or complaint during our entire stay. It was exactly the stress-free, peaceful break we were looking for. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to any couples looking for a flawless getaway!
