We stayed at the Barcelo Suites in the peak season, but we cannot fault the Hotel in anyway. Although we are a younger couple we still found that the hotel had everything to offer, a great atmosphere, extremley friendly staff and an excellent variety of food of which was of a very high standard. The only factor in which we were able to fault was that the hotel was situated on the outskirts of Costa Teguise, but buses were frequent and very cheap. It is suitable for all ages and an excellent holiday destination for families.
We both rate this an excellent hotel and will definately be revisting in the future!!!

We booked the Hotel over the internet because none of the Irish holiday companies do this hotel in this resort. We booked a flight only with Budget Travel. Had no problem booking the hotel and they were very helpful. Took a taxi from the airport which cost

Just returned today.Rooms were very spacious and reasonably cleaned although it seemed to depend on which maid was on duty! Air conditioning was not cold enough and at times when there was no breeze outside it was very hot during the night.The public rooms also were too hot in the evenings, which made watching the second rate entertainment uncomfortable.We stayed at another Barcelo last year and the entertainment was excellent.This wasn't a patch on that.
The dining room needs a completely new floor as most of the tiles were either cracked and broken or wobbly as you walked on them.Also the plaster on the walls was peeling off in places and again absolutely stiffling in the heat.Most days there were horrendous queues for meals going right up the stairs when there were already free tables available in the dining room-couldn't see the logic there.Also not much choice for children on the menu, and the adult food was somewhat monotonous.

Just arrived back from Barcelo Suites and totally depressed!! The hotel was spotless and our maid was fantastic. The food was very good, could have done with a variety ie: Themed nights and more variety for the children. The hotel was situated just outside the centre, but a bus or taxi ride was very cheap and it was a nice change to look around the shops! The hotel staff worked extremley hard - it was very hot and they never stopped. The entertainment at night was varied. Some of the animation crew were lacking co-ordination in some of the dancing shows!! But the daytime activities were great and all nationalties joined in together. I didnt rate the miniclub (my child was 5yrs) and they didnt do a great deal with the, but she still went!!
All in all - we had a great time - we went with another family with 2 children also and initially went 1/2 board but upgraded to AI, which was GREAT!!! and would definatley visit again. xx

The Barcelo Suites in Lanzarote is a great all-inclusive hotel. It offers fantastic accomodation, food and the best of all entertainment for both adults and kids. The location is a bit out of the main arear of Costa Teguise but they offer a free shuttle bus to and fron the beach / town with runs every 30 minutes every day.

I cannot really fault this hotel.

We all had a great time and would definately go again.

Me and m fiance visited th barcelo suites for two weeks awe both fond tehotel to be both lavish and spotless.

The cuisine was second to none. Being a bufet it could get a little hectic but this posed no problem at all except when the kids were in at the ice cream.

All staff who worked for the hotel were / are extremely helpful and provided a platinum service.
definately a 4 star and above!!! Never experienced anything like it, fantastic!.

Entertainment was pretty good at times although not amazing, it suited both adults and kids alike.
Lanzarote's nickname (Lanzagrotty) holds no weight what so ever, this island is immaculate with plenty to do.

The hotel resorts standards were very very high in terms of customer service coupled with cleanliness.

The entertainment could have been a little better. The town is roughly 3 euros at the very most to the nearest town and there you can find nice pubs. I would recommend visiting the puns outside the hotel for inexpensive drinks.

The nearest town can be walked to in exactly 30 minutes if your want to walk your big dinner off or a taxi can be summoned by the hotel at a very cheap cost.

The beach ([playa] in spanish) was perfect with nice waves and very clean with plenty of restaurants all round and facilities to accomodate all persons. The beach is white sand. Cost for 2 beds and an umbrella is 6 euro, well worth it! Also the hotel provides a bus servce to the beach every 30 minutes for free, 10 minute journey if that.
I would visit this resort over and over again.

One thing, there is an aquapark that charges quite high rates for admission, near to the hotel. I did not think it was worth it but that is a personal opinion, maybe if i was a kid i suspect i would have loved it. It was very windy there also, so much so that it was annoying.

There is bulding work going on at the moment across the road from the hotel but this would not cause a problem unless you were situated right infront of it, any problems and the rep would sort something else out for you, perhaps move you to another room.

I strongly recommend this to anyone especially with a family, i wasn't there with a family and enjoyed it just famously.

Barcelo Lanzorote is at the far end of the resort and takes a good hour to walk to the centre. The beach is beautiful and spotless.
The hotel was far less attractive.
The pool area was not cleaned for the whole fortnight we were there.The food variety was good if you like it uncooked, stale and mouldy.
Bar staff are moody but the entertainment staff were fantastic.
If you want a good evening show check out cats and magic box show and daily activities are fun. Just watch out for the pool bar staff they may smile once in the time you are there!!!

just arrived back from this hotel and resort, the hotel was very good the rooms were clean, the hotel food was excellent, the location of the hotel was a good walk from the main resort , but if you like walking like us it is a very enjoyable walk along a very nice promenade in to costa tequise.Some of the hotel staff are friendly and do smile now and again, but there are some very unpleasant bar and restaurant staff who were very rude and unpleasant to friends that we had made on holiday and to ourselves.The entertainment was rubbish and i would advise any body intending to go to this hotel, to take a game of some description as they will get more enjoyment doing this.l would visit this hotel again but they would have to upgrade the entertainment
