Melia Salinas

This is our 4th time at Paradisus. We had a suite which was very nice, lovely views and very clean. The food in the buffet was very good, plenty of choice. I was a bit disappointed when I had a small jar of tomato ketchup and removed the top to discover that all around the top of the jar was black which made me think that the jar had not been cleaned properly before refilling it. Also the waiters were rather scruffily dressed. It is very difficult to book tables at the Cappella and Samira resturants which is a pain. The bar at the Reserve pool was very good, food arrived very quickly and the staff were very cheerful and helpful. We had access to the Reserve Lounge which is a lovely place to pick up a drink or snack although in the evening the tables were not cleared and also glasses were not replenished so you would end up drinking a coke from a wine glass, a bit more attention to the clearing/re stocking is needed here.

Spend 7 nights here with friends, we all enjoyed our stay. The hotel is exceptionally clean & we found the rooms spacious with the most comfortable beds & pillows. Most staff members were helpful & friendly, especially Chloe, who arranged our additional requests. Strange restaurant reservation system, but we managed to eat in Capella three times, great experience every time and twice in Samira, first time was ok, even though we thought the menu was a little ‘odd’ we went a second time, this was not so good & the service was nowhere as attentive as Cappella. La Graciosa tapas lunch was lovely, we didn’t fancy the tasting evening menu. We found plenty of variety at the buffet. Nice to have the Ginger bar to drink in at all times. Jonay, who always wore a smile, made great morning coffee before we entered the breakfast buffet! The hotel was full during our stay & at times the drinks service was a little slow, especially in the evenings. The entertainment was very good.

Amazing time; brilliant staff and incredible food! Cannot fault it, no need to go to the reserve, the main hotel is incredible with everything you could possibly want to eat and drink. Entertainment was great, best holiday ever.

We had a wonderful 5 nights at this beautiful hotel. I have no idea how anyone can say this is a 3 star hotel! We thoroughly enjoyed the buffet (from lobster tails to suckling pig!) although the labelling of the dishes could have been more thorough. We are not fussy eaters and do enjoy trying new food so it wasn't too much of an issue for us. We also don't go abroad and expect to be able to have a full English for breakfast - and nor would we want to! The food was fresh and tasty and we absolutely loved it. The drinks both at the pool bar and at Ginger were great. The staff were friendly (although could do with a couple more waiters in the evening as it was so busy they were run off their feet!) and seemed genuinely happy. The pool was freezing but absolutely beautiful to look at. Indeed, the whole hotel is beautiful. We loved the art everywhere and the landscaping was gorgeous. We would definitely return!

We had a wonderful stay at Paradisus Salinas Lanzarote, even though the weather was unusually cool. The hotel itself is beautiful and very relaxing, and the atmosphere throughout is calm and welcoming. What really made our stay special was the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. I have specific dietary restrictions, and food labelling at the buffet was unfortunately often incomplete or absent. However, Mayur and Manuel from the Guest Relations team went out of their way to help me navigate the buffet. They coordinated closely with the kitchen and arranged for chefs Armiche, Marcial, Mario or Kevin to walk me through the buffet, explain which dishes I could eat, and sometimes prepare special meals for me. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, and made it easy for me to follow my diet. I would also like to thank the fantastic entertainment team — Soraya, Blen, Maria, Erasmo, Armando, Joana, Barbara, Clara and Raquel — for the great variety of activities they organized. I joined many classes, including yoga, pilates, cycling, workout sessions, stretching, Latin dance and meditation, as well as some art workshops. I even tried beach volleyball and SUP pilates — even though I found both quite challenging. The instructors were always patient and encouraging, and made the activities enjoyable for everyone, regardless of level. The weather during most of our stay was unfortunately cooler than usual. As the hotel does not have central heating, the room sometimes felt rather cold, but the staff quickly provided an electric heater, and the entertainment team organized plenty of enjoyable indoor activities. One small drawback for us was the cold water in the pool, which unfortunately made swimming difficult to enjoy. I understand that the weather during our stay was unusually cool for the area and the season, but heating the pools would make swimming much more pleasant. Overall, we had a truly memorable stay and felt very well looked after by the entire team. We would happily return — hopefully with better weather.
