Lava Beach Hotel

Stayed here 2 years ago and was thoroughly impressed. Fast forward 2 years and I was intrigued to see if it had dated,shown signs of age, acted on comments and can only say , if anything this hotel is like a fine wine .... it gets better with age !!

Check in again, absolutely flawless , still had our details from 2 years ago so quick and easy. Room 1438 similar to last time ,(think it was 1540 then) was well up to required standard . Some of the tiles in the room do have a "hollow" feeling whilst walking through mind as if they need to reset them . Knowing what we knew from last time we requested a privacy screen for the glass window between bathroom and bedroom, which was fitted the next morning.

As regards the hotel as a whole , it really is stunningly maintained from the paths to the gardens to planting and the pool.

I think it's Nicole who is constantly around making sure guests are ok in the restaurant,pool and general areas and is the lead force in removing the "reserve the bed" brigade who still exist ( although I must admit she was a little eager with us who had been on the beds for 10 or so mins after breakfast at 8.30 and only went up on the terrace for a cigarette together, the fact our phones were there should have been a sort of giveaway we hadn't gone far) . However good on her for standing by the rules.

We were only bed and breakfast, and the breakfast is still superb . Compliments to the kitchen team.

The thing that makes this place stand out is the staff . From room servicing (the unseen heroes) , to the kitchen to the unbelievable restaurant/bar guys and girls , they are an absolute credit to the hotel . They are the people who you interact with most and not once do they ever let down .

For myself and the good lady (no kids) this is rapidly becoming our go to place for future trips . A fantastic trip from start to finish . Well done Lava Beach staff.

Yet another fabulous visit to the Lava Beach. The moment we set foot through the front door Rafa recognised us and gave us the usual very warm welcome. Reception is always welcoming and there to deal with all your needs. The rest of the staff across the Hotel are amazing as well, from the Gardeners to the waiting staff. Everyone is helpful, polite and kind. The food is fantastic and there is always a varied menu for breakfast and dinner. Kamal in the dining room always headed to us for a chat in Spanish to help build our vocabulary, and hopefully place a drinks order as well! The General Manager, Nicole, is always around checking everywhere and I bumped into her every morning in the Gym when she was checking there was water available. It's no surprise that the staff and service are so good. Good Management always shows out. The pool area is spotless, as is the pool, and there are always beds available. No crazy rush in the morning here. Towels are also supplied. The clientele is older so the Hotel is very quiet, even at the pool. No kids running around as it is predominantly couples and there is nothing here for kids in any event. Overall this Hotel never fails to impress. It is the cleanest and most well maintained Hotel I have ever stayed in, and deserves it's 5 star status. I am a Facilities Management professional and I am always looking for issues as a force of habit, but I struggle to find anything wrong in this Hotel. Even the decor is fresh!

Needless to say, we are back again in May for another two weeks of relaxation and fun. May the months pass quickly!

If I could give the Lava Beach 10* I would! What a fantastic hotel, the best we have ever stayed in, everything was perfect, and I mean perfect. From the moment we arrived the staff were warm and welcoming and incredibly helpful. The room was spotless, comfortable and well maintained. Everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We had 2 celebrations (25 years married) and hubbys big birthday and they went above and beyond in helping us celebrate both occasions. One of our family had to leave early and they had no issues accommodating us. We only went B&B and the breakfast was outstanding, absolutely nothing they didnt have. We really enjoyed our time here, it is the perfect place to unwind relax and enjoy a perfect holiday. We would definitely highly recommend to anyone visiting Lanzarote. We have already told our friends about it and they are now booking it! We will definitely be back and I never say that about any hotel. Well done to all staff from the top down!
