Hotel Riu Paraiso Lanzarote - All Inclusive

Our second time here this year and another great holiday. Ideal for us as a Winter sun destination and the hotel is in a good location, within walking distance of PDC or Matagorda, laid out in beautifully kept gardens. We were upgraded again to a sea view suite, this time on the ground level, which made things easier for us as one of us uses a mobility scooter (hired on the island and delivered to the reception ready for our arriva; We also hired a proper shower chair from the same company which was delivered to our room). We had a suite so plenty of space to store the scooter and charge it overnight. Easy access to the pool for those of us with mobility issues, with staircase style steps and handrails or a pool lift for those that might need it. The whole hotel is accessible (right hand lifts large enough for a wheelchair or scooter). Room and public areas spotlessly clean, staff friendly and helpful and plenty of choice for all meals. Canarian restaurant meal one evening, which was delicious, staff very accomodating with the scooter. Breakfast offering was excellent with lots of fruit and juices to choose from and very tasty scrambled eggs with ham cooked to perfection. Only complaint is the pool could be warmer and the evening entertainment didn't seem to be up to the same standard as earlier in the year. Even so, we have booked again for next year and would recommend.

The Rui Parriso was an absolute gem! The hotel itself was spotless, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere. The food was exceptional, with a wide variety of dishes that were both delicious and beautifully presented. What truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff's warm and friendly service. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness. Highly recommended

Very impressed with upgrade of hotel as not been for a few years our 4th visit and we will definitely be booking again

We have been here before a long time ago and it has been refurbished since then. We had one of the best holidays ever. The staff are all so friendly, even the gardeners are friendly. The food is outstanding and you will never go hungry. The bedrooms are lovely, not huge but the beds and pillows are the best ever. We slept so well every night. We asked for a high floor and quiet room and we did get that but it was quite far away from the main building. The towels are brown which we didn't like. They were quite worn. Prefer white towels and bedding. There was some great entertainment in the day and night. There was a woman sole singer who was outstanding and something we haven't seen for years was the flamenco dancers. They worth watching. There are plenty of sun beds but there are too many and are cramped together. The pools great and I was able to get my length in every day. You can go out the back of the hotel and you are straight on the prom. There was a steel drum band on the prom on a Thursday and Tuesday worth going over to see. They then join a group of dancers. Cant go wrong with this hotel and we will be going back again.

Just returned from our first stay in a Riu, I have got to stay it was not what we were expecting. There was approximately 1200 guests stopping in the hotel, it was way too busy for us. I would say 80 percent German and the average age 60 upwards. The food wasn't bad but quite bland and you couldn't help think about germs with that many people and one hand wash station at the pool bar but none I could see at the main restaurant, it actually really put me off enjoying anything. The beers was OK, the wine and spirits awful, again there was self service which at first you think this is handy until you start seeing just how many people are using the optics etc, the animation team don't stop and work hard to make an effort with eyeryone, a lot love it, but around the pool it was so repetitive but enjoyed by many, again just not our thing, at night again same songs and singers but they had another room for kids shows which we didn't go in. You could get sunbeds but had to be careful which beds you select as a rude German will glady pull the sun covers over on the pigalos with zero regard for who they are shading lol, I have never seen so many sun haters in my life it became quite entertaining watching people being put in the shade with no warning as the covers closed. We started going out at night to Marcus's bar which is a right turn out of the beach gate and a 10 minutes walk, good food/drink and music, all in all not a bad hotel if your into animation teams, all you can eat drink, but for us in are fourtys who enjoy decent drinks, normal music around the pool in the day and decent music/drinks at night this isn't the place.
