Barceló Lanzarote Royal Level

Good experience: - The royal restaurant is generally better at food quality and you get bottled drinks - The swimming pools are well maintained and feel clean - The royal experience desk staff is super friendly and helpful - Evening live music is good - The beach is good to have as a marketing advantage, but it’s not maintained and practically abandoned - Hotel car parking was never an issue Bad experience: - The hotel claims it’s not allowed to reserve sunbeds. If you’re 2 minutes late though (opens at 9:00), you’re not going to find anything available. The “racing” queue starts at around 8:30 and it’s just pathetic. Why does the hotel allow this behavior? See photos. - Dead cockroaches inside and outside the restaurants (not very royal if you ask me) - Very bad outside cleaning in general, stains and just dirty when it gets wet - The bars are supposed to serve food/snacks until 17:30 and the drinks until 18:00. In reality, the food section guy leaves for the day around 17:00 and the cocktails stop at 17:20-17:30 (you can still get regular stuff like soda though) - based on the Goa bar experience - The food choices are not very friendly if one doesn’t eat pork. There were days when 4 out of 5 options were pork. I understand it’s cheaper but some inclusiveness would be appreciated nonetheless Conclusion: good hotel. A bit worn down. Could use some proper cleaning. I wouldn’t stay here more than once. Thank you very much for the warm welcome and the stay!

Had a great time here. Staff were fab, Hannah and Eva in particular were lovely! Food was very good and tonnes of choice (we were all inclusive). Very nice and secluded beach nearby that takes a little bravery to swim but worth it. The royal level felt much more intimate and way less kids than the main facilities.

Super clean hotel room, generally nice staff, I booked a half board stay for 6 nights Food is not bad - buffet style however I wish I had more chances to go out into town for local food! This resort is farther away from Costa Teguise town centre but it's fit for purpose of my trip - to unwind and stay away from hustle and hustle. Other hotel guests are generally nice (without people who go crazy loud at night, etc.) Good facilities, pools, gym, a full schedule of activities every single day. Will stay here again next time I come to Lanzarote!

The Royal Level extras were outstanding. The food and service in the RL asana restaurant was 5 star. The RL pool was the only heated one, this was very necessary in the Lanzarote wind. Our room looked out to the power station and it was very very quiet which I appreciated.

Spent 5 days with teenage daughter and her friend and had a great time. Lovely room and view, super clean, good range of sports activities and good choice of food and drink.
