Location
It is a little bit out of the way but you could get the hotel bus into Costa Teguise or pay just 16 euro into Puerto del Carmen which was really busy.
The food was nice but often a little cold. You can upgrade to All-Inclusive when you get there for 18 euros per day per person which was really worth while because it was real drink not local drink. Smirnoff vodka, San Miguel lager and proper cocktail all included. They also gave you all the water you needed and bottles of wine with your meals. Really good.

I really think you have to give the Spanish credit for this.
Food plentiful if a little repetetive and as with most half board buffet style restaurants it could have been a bit hotter.
We were unlucky with the weather and a lot of the guests were complaining about the rooms being cold. My wife felt the same so I asked reception about the aircon being off. I was informed that it only worked on cold(patently untrue)and they did not have it on this time of year. Despite this I think this is a really good 4* tourist class hotel(not full service).
I would definaiely not visit though in mid summer as it will be overrun with kids not our scene. But if it is yours and you choose all inclusive then I think you would be happy.
A fifteen minute walk to a small selection of British style bars etc and a short and cheap taxi ride to the main part of town.

Costa Teguise is a 40-minute walk along a nice promenade, but the free hotel bus only takes 8 minutes if you don't like walking.
The daytime entertainment was excellent, with 4 activities per day for teenagers and a further 4 for adults. Each winner gets a certificate, 5 wins gets a medal, 10 wins gets a t-shirt and 15 wins gets a beach towel.
The evening entertainment was less enjoyable, with only one professional singing act (a good Neil Diamond tribute) during our week there. The rest of the time it was bingo, quizzes, flamenco, acrobats, conjurers and the ubiquitous parrot show.

The rooms were very nice and spacious but in our room you could hardly feel the air conditioning although we know other rooms were ok.
There are several pools but if you prefer it a bit quieter there is a nice pool by the tennis courts which doesn't get as busy as the others. We never had any problems getting sunbeds even going down after 10am.
I couldn't fault the hotel the food or the staff but was not impressed with the location which let it down.
There are no bars or restaurants near the hotel and it is a 25 minute walk into the town although taxis are frequent outside the hotel. The town itself isn't that lively either but a few nice bars.

We went All inclusive which we paid for when we arrived, a lot cheaper than the tour company and well worth it.
The day time entertainment was fab with a group of hard working staff, we never got time to sit down, who knows where the time went, and if you like getting up and having a good time then the entertainment on an evening would suit you down to the ground.
The food was good with plenty of choice, no good if you are vegi there is meat,meat,meat.
We met some great people and had a fab time so much that we are going back again this year and so are a lot of the people we met so role on August.

Fourth time visited hotel.
Danni the head entertainer was brilliant. Good for young kids, teenagers and adults alike.
Some minor improvements to the hotel are ongoing but does not effect your holiday.
Upgrade to All Inclusive when you are there.

Our party included three generations and we all had a wonderful holiday.
The hotel is beautiful with waterfalls in the restaurant and a river running around the entertainment club!
We upgraded to all-inclusive on arrival- definitely a good decision.
We were all pleased with our rooms, some were suites, but we all had a fridge which was handy & the air-con was good.
The entertainment staff are outstanding - never a dull minute with water polo & activities during the day for the adults & teenagers. Our grandson aged 6 loved the mini-club.
Plenty of beds by the pools & shade if you needed it.
We stayed in the hotel most evenings - the grounds are immense with tennis, football, crazy golf & table-tennis all free of charge - good shows and of course the free bar.
Would definitely recommend this hotel.

We hired a car and found Lanzarote to be a beautiful island. Plenty to see and do here so if you get the hotel right, then your holiday will be great.
The Barcelo suites/Lanzarote is a beautiful hotel with lots of rooms and the pools are like nothing we have seen before. We travel quite often to other destinations and this was by far the hotel which had the nicest grounds and interior decoration.
The reception staff were very helpful and the entertainment team were lovely and worked hard.
I have two gripes about this hotel. Firstly the food was awful and was served in a temporary dining room. Most of our 7 evenings there we found it difficult to find something to eat which was pleasant to look at or taste. My daughter lived on salads and my husband and I had our first upset stomachs while we stayed here. We have both been abroad at least 25 times between us and it was the only occasion we both felt ill. We put it down to the food because we didn

Weather was cold and drizzly.
Found our room to be in a fab location (overlooking the pool). Room was a bit basic but o.k. for a week.
Took all week to find our way around this hotel as the grounds are vast.
Not fully booked whilst we were there as felt as if there was loads of space.
Weather picked up.
Children loved the pool but far to cold for adults at this time of year.
This hotel is a bit out of the way but the taxis are cheap enough.
The hotel food was excellent and the service great.
Entertainment a bit hit and miss.
Would stay in this hotel again if it was somewhere else.

We would go back again. The staff were fantastic and very good with my kids. The kids club was the best I had ever seen as the kids have their own little pool. The only problem my 7 and 9 year old thought it was a little young, but my 5 year old loved it! and the girls were lovely to him.
Food was great even champagne at breakfast.
