Barcelo Playa Blanca

On arrival we were met and our luggage taken to reception, where we were offered a drink. Check in was easy and timely. We were shown to our room by the same Staff member who was friendly and gave us lots of tips for our stay. Rooms are a good size for two with plenty storage (could have done with more hangers). I had to request an iron which was delivered promptly. The toiletries provided were of good quality and an added bonus to the room along with the hairdryer. We had a terrace room over looking the main pool, it was quiet and cool to sit at during the day. We had the all inclusive package and ate all meals in the buffet restaurant. I read mixed reviews on the food and budgeted for the possibility of eating out but we were more than happy with what was on offer. Yes there seemed to be staffing issues but as the days went on you could see more staff being brought in. It would have been nice to have table service for drinks ( we experienced this at Barceló Furerteventura Mar)and for plates to be cleared a bit quicker, but we could see the staff were working tirelessly. The pool area is lovely we positioned ourselves near to the Breeze bar most days, (always plenty of beds no need to reserve) although windy and very windy at times. the breeze was welcomed to keep you cool! We never eat at the breeze bar but for drinks and staff were very friendly. We considered upgrading for the last couple of days but in the end we felt the hotel offered everything we wanted so no need in this occasion. Would recommend

Lovely hotel in a great location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Barcelo. We upgraded our room on arrival and glad we did because we had a lovely view of the mountains, sea and pool areas . Our room was cwry quiet. The food was varied and enjoyable and various options were available throughout the day. The pool area was lovely and although it was a bit windy it definitely didn't ruin our days around the pool. Half the pool was heated and this was perfect. All in all we really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return.

Hotel was very clean and new. Service was ok. Pool was nice but a wind trap. Food was fine but boring after the second day, always the same. Speciality restaurants were just normal prices so pointless going to. Wait at the bars were ok most of the time but quite long at nights. No decent activities at all. Enjoyed the snack bar. Overall, a decent hotel but nothing special unfortunately.

This was my first trip to Lanzarote.Id booked this as my 70th birthday present to myself. I couldn't fault the location,being right on the promenade. The food was good,especially the the Breeze Bar where I had lunch every day. The Carbonara was to die for! And the Spanish pastries could not be missed each afternoon with the Cafe con Leche. The rooms are fab with the comfiest bed and pillows I've ever had on holiday.
