Aequora Lanzarote Suites

Not a lot to fault with this hotel. We stayed select service adults area half board. Plus points. Part of the select service. Free safe in room. Free minibar (charge for fill up). Free meal in Don Paco with 7 night minimum stay. Free bottle of Cava in the restaurant. Additional plus points as standard. 4 different pool areas everyone can use from a very quiet adults pool to a kids pool and music pool, something for everyone. Food was very good and the option to swap evening meal to lunch was brilliant. It was a proper buffet service at lunch with great choice. Water points and cups around the pool area was a great idea. However meal times did get very busy at certain times. Waiting at drinks machines in a morning. It would help if they had water jugs on the side to save using the drinks machines just to get a cup of water. Maybe extra staff in an evening serving drinks as this seemed to be an issue. Overall taking everything into account our stay was very enjoyable and staff very friendly and helpful. Would I stay at this hotel again? Definitely.

We stayed here for 4 nights during February half term with our 4 year old, booked as part of a Jet2 holidays package. There is so many resorts to choose from in Lanzarote, so we simply picked this place due to its high rating and reviews, which turned out to be 100% accurate! Greeted at hotel reception with refreshments and checked in within 10 minutes, due to us being early, an hour before check-in, our room was not quite ready. This was no problem as our luggage was stored for us and we were advised where we could grab some lunch while we waited for our room - we had chosen the all inclusive package. We had our breakfast, lunch and dinner within the buffet style restaurants, there was plentiful amounts to choose from across a range of cuisines that changed each day. Other than having to serve it to myself, I would not class the food as ‘buffet’ style, each dish was cooked fresh and was as good as any course from a menu. More than enough choice for a 4 year old, not just your standard nuggets and chips, although this was an option still! Restaurant staff could not do more to help, very attentive and treated all the children very well, making them feel part of it all. Once our room was ready, we found our Junior Suite on the second floor that over looked one of the pools, very clean and well maintained room. Some reviews seem to dislike the open planned style, but I would question who you are sharing a room with if you are finding it that awkward! A bonus for my 4 year old is that they have English channels, so CBeebies was available! Not that much time was spent in the room. Free WiFi covered the whole resort, along with a decent 5G coverage. The great service continued throughout the resort into the pool areas, the place is spotless and well maintained. Everyone generally very happy and willing to help with anything, very much a VIP experience. Better than some of the high end Vegas hotels I have stayed in and paid considerably more for! The evening entertainment was very good, the performers really putting everything into it. My daughter really enjoyed the mini disco each night, learning songs from Spain, Germany and France. They made sure all the children from countries that made up the general resort occupancy, feel included with songs they would recognise.

Really great hotel! We never return anywhere but have said we would (our son wants to also!) On the app you can track the many activities going on daily- loads for kids! We went to kids club with our 3 year old daily the staff were excellent and the mini disco a highlight. We went half board which id recommend as lunch and dinner basically the same- good food but little variation. Great breakfast! Room was nice, our son liked his separate area in the suite but was open plan so we could keep an eye on him. AC broken, not a huge issue in Jan but would’ve been nice if it was cooler. Cleaned well daily. Water in room. Little fridge. Balcony furniture not comfortable could invest in nicer stuff. Washing line on balcony very useful! Drinks SO CHEAP good bar. Really close walking distance to shops. Supermarket, restaurants, the beach. All great thank you

7 wonderful nights in this hotel the place is immaculate and the staff are really friendly. The rooms are very spacious and again immaculate with everything you need for a great holiday . The food is great with good selection for all tastes . The day time entertainment staff are very good with activities around the pool And to our surprise the evening entertainment was very good not the usual droll Hotel is also in a great location for the beach and other bars We would highly recommend staying.

Stayed here just this past week and had a nice time however there are some things I wish I had known before booking. I’m not usually one to leave reviews, usually because I’ve had a great time and would fault little but I want to outline some things I wish I had known before booking. We traveled with two young children (nearly 1 and nearly 3 year old). We also had parents accompany us, which is a good thing as this hotel isn’t the most family friendly. There are four bars you can get drinks from outwith the restaurant, where it’s table service. Out of these four only one allows children, as in you can’t get an even a soft drink if you have your child with you. This was a pain during the day as I wanted to be able to take my little one with me rather than continually leaving one person with both whilst the other went to get drinks. This unfortunately didn’t get any better with other facilities and I would definitely say children are tolerated at this hotel and it’s more like an adults only hotel that allows children in some areas. We were all inclusive plus so had unlimited use of the speciality restaurant but we had children and with us and they weren’t allowed to dine here. We went one night when their grandparents offered to watch them while we went but we feel like this defeats the purpose of going a family holiday and we’re disappointed we couldn’t have them with us. The hotel advertises three restaurants also but this is untrue as two of them are just the same buffet restaurant with a separate adults only entrance and seating area, so bear this in mind if you like choice. Now my main issue, this hotel is not suitable for people with buggies or mobility issues. There are stairs everywhere, including inside the rooms. We were put in an upstairs room and requested a move as we were scared of our three year old falling down 20 tiles stairs when leaving our room. We obviously hold her hand and are always with her but the she is a toddler and we worried she would somehow still manage to hurt herself. This was also a bit impractical with a buggy. Now to the positives… Staff were friendly, the hotel was immaculate and the food was good. We aren’t picky and like lots of different foods so we found something we liked often and tried lots of the food. We liked the location of the hotel and proximity to the beach also. I’m not sure we would visit again but we did enjoy ourselves. We just wish it was clearer just how many adult only areas and facilities there were as we would have chosen another hotel. If we had visited pre kids I’m sure we wouldn't haven't given it a second thought but it’s different when you have kids you want to make memories with without feeling like you’re missing out on certain areas of the hotel.

Amazing experience My wife visited the hotel in January and was so impressed we booked to come back as a couple and I am delighted we did. The hotel is lovely, great location just off the front with access to the very long beach front walking paths. The facilities were great, lovely spacious room with its own sunbeds (Junior Suite) and we were around the adult pool. We were half board and the food was lovely, I can’t understand where some of the poor reviews of the food came from, there was plenty of choice and it was always hot… we were really spoilt for choice.. The hotel staff were brilliant, hugely friendly and helpful and always smiling. Special shout out to the lady at the chill out blue who was so happy and super helpful… We didn’t go to the entertainment much but what we saw looked good. Overall I really liked the hotel and location and will certainly be coming back later in the year and this will become a regular week away..
