바르셀로 란사로테 액티브 리조트(Barcelo Lanzarote Active Resort)

A very large resort a small supermarket but if not all inclusive would be a problem as to getting cabs to the local town could get expensive Night life for kids good but adults cannot even seat outside in the evening s with a drink as pool bar closes at 6 pm Unless you go to the payable restaurants and champs sports bar not very good if paid for all inclusive We was in block 7 but as there are still steps to the lift if getting on a bit would be a problem as me and my wife 70 and 65 years Overall as we had our son his wife and 3 small grandchildren but they 4 minutes walk away why we wasn’t put nearer each other one would never know but we did not book at the same time they were near the reception and dinning room but did have a few cockroaches in there room trying to use the microwave Overall good resort large pools

Pros- lovely room, lovely view (we booked sea view) every single staff member amazing, lovely food different every day, 25 min to walk in to town if you wanted something different. Cons - shower could have been a bit better kind of like dripped out but for me that was it. I’ve been on a few holidays and I have to say has been the only one where I’ve said I’d definitely come back. Absolutely love the place

Beds comfy. Rooms clean. Pools ice cold and food is just as cold. Didn’t have one hot or even warm meal. Too cold and windy for kids. Hotel nice, drinks nice. Gym good. Depends what you’re after. If it’s food and something for the kids I wouldn’t recommend

We returned from this hotel, after a week, yesterday. We hired a car at the airport and to be honest, if you’re staying here, you need one! There is nothing, close by apart from the hotel. The resort of Teguise is probably a forty minute walk but you can get a bus from outside the hotel. The room was lovely, recently renovated with loads of space, a large balcony too and we had paid for a sea view. We also had a fabulous view of the power station with smoke coming out of the chimneys …. not sure how healthy that is! The cleaning was hit and miss, you couldn’t walk barefoot on the floor because it definitely wasn’t cleaned properly. It was all a bit of a rush job, make the bed, change the towels , that’s it. We were half board and the food was the worst bit. Unless you got to the restaurant for 6.30 ish you ended up queuing for a table, not what you want on holiday. The food was worryingly cool and we avoided meat for safety reasons. Salad was very basic and the food in general wasn’t that great. Breakfast was better but stuff like bacon and sausages looked a bit grim, we had mainly dry stuff and fruit. Even the yogurt was in big bowls, uncovered with people breathing over it and dipping in… yum The island of Lanzarote has improved so much since our last visit, ten years ago , we drove all over and it’s so beautiful and unspoiled. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday but I think we will rent an apar**ent next time.

Booked & stayed for 9 nights in Late January, very pleased all round. Food was plentiful, plates were hot, selection was marvellous, nothing to complain about. Reception Staff were brilliant, cleaning Lady was full of personality, bar staff were good. Location was perfect one Euro to get into Town on the bus or four Euros in taxi and all were similar. Great walk along the promenade to Costa Teguise Town 50 metre pool was well worth the 3 Euro charge, lots of activity in the day, evening entertainment did show some great Artists, especially the 3 singers. All in All I cannot wait to return. 5++++++++++++++++

One of the best resorts I have stayed in, the all inclusive food and drink was very varied and the rooms/resort was immaculate Crazy golf a great addition for the colder days The entertainment wasn’t the best however it is May and the entertainment team had a huge amount of enthusiasm especially Nico who was absolutely fantastic with the children and was smiling from 9am till 9pm! Felt 5* everywhere we went, and do go see the lovely lady at Pubway in town! ♥️

Ok let's get the negatives out of the way. Trust me they are minor. All inclusive doesn't include water, I know it is a bit weird since you have a kettle in the room. However that said, there's a shop on site where you can purchase a bottle and then keep it filled using the water stations on the bars and restaurants. Or bring your own bottles. Next the safe. Not all inclusive. It's 3 Euro per day so hardly going to break the bank. Ok now for the good stuff. The rooms are huge ( well block 1 was) beds are comfy and we were fortunate to have a sea view. It's worth noting this side seems much quieter than over the road. The pools are plentiful, extremely clean but are cold and I mean 🥶. Assume as the weather improves so will the temperature. The place is immaculate. Staff are incredible and very friendly. A few words of Spanish goes a long way. Okay now for the food. It's buffet style and you'd be hard pressed not to find something you'd like, unless you're coeliac. However a chat with the staff and chef gets you over this hurdle. Place your order in the morning and voila at meal time your gluten free food awaits. Can honestly say there's been no issues in the week here. Yes it's a bit out of the way , but buses and taxis outside are plentiful and not expensive Was it worth the expense of this hotel? For us , definitely. The staff have been amazing. If you made it this far reading. Enjoy the hotel. Your holiday is what you make it

Great hotel. Amazing staff. Quiet location but close enough if you want to walk or get taxi to main areas

If ever you thought there was a place that you probably could not afford because everything it had to offer seemed out of reach, then look no further than the Barcelona active resort where the service, rooms, food and drink for all inclusive will meet with everyone’s expectations. I would ask that you ignore any derogatory reviews and enjoy a well earned break at this resort. Andrew Henderson gorebridge ps this holiday resort was coupled with the brilliant service of jet2
