Elba Lanzarote Royal Village Resort

Adam Smith

We had a fantastic stay at Elba Lanzarote Royal Village Resort. It's a great hotel for families, with plenty to do for both children and adults throughout the day. The facilities are excellent, the pools are well maintained, and there was always something going on to keep everyone entertained. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful from the moment we arrived. They worked hard to make sure guests had an enjoyable stay and were always happy to assist with any requests. The resort is clean, well looked after, and has a relaxed atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would happily return in the future. Highly recommended for families looking for a fun and stress-free holiday in Lanzarote.

Spent a week at the resort with family and friends total party of 2 kids and 4 adults. On first arrival the hotel is lovely, and the welcoming staff were very warm and welcoming. The overall feeling as you walk through is family fun. The rooms being individual villa'ette style, were great and had your own patio. With many pools to choose from (only 1 of which is not salt water) and even 2 supervised water slides for kids to use. The entertainment team are phenomenal! The level of enthusiasm, engagement and variety they brought daily was amazing, this group would be an asset to any hotel. The aquagym/workout was different every day, the water games were well organised and varied with about 2 pool games a day and at least one activity out of the pool (darts/shooting/archery). For evening entertainment it is predominantly focused for the kids, but if your happy with holiday park type entertainment this will be perfect. The food is as you would expect in an all inclusive, buffet style an ok selection with separate kids station of chips, burgers and hotdogs. Active grill that normally consists of chicken, lamb, beef and fish. Negatives: there are not many and most are being looked at as far as I'm aware. The plates in the buffet hall and al'acarte often are dirty on the underside and top. The pool bar can busy as it is often only manned by one person (who works very hard to serve with speed) but feel that maybe an additional small bar could help this, like just beer bar. The indoor entertainment as good as it is, I'm not sure whether the air wasn't working or there is none inside but it gets unbearably hot. All in all of you want a family package holiday with great pool/evening entertainment this place will tick those boxes well.

Brilliant for children. My 6 year old LOVED it!! So fantastic for children and families. Animation team are amazing, spend so much time with children and seem like they actually care. They put so much effort in to the shows and games and even the kids club. They should be so proud of themselves, really making a difference and a positive experience!!! 10/10

Just returned from a 1 week stay, large group family of 12, various ages from toddler to mid 40s. The two positives were the pool area is fantastic and the rooms were clean and spacious. The pools are cold at first but not unbearable and as the week progressed they did warm up, all are salt water apart from 1. The rooms could not be faulted they were spacious and clean, housekeeping did keep forgetting to leave us two towels but a phone call to reception and it was quickly resolved. The staff at reception were very nice and very helpful. The bar staff were hard working and when they had time they were happy to have a chat and a joke. The poolside entertainment team were good fun, we enjoyed playing darts and bingo was good fun. We made use of the volleyball and tennis court which was really good fun and in decent condition. The location was ok around a 20 minute walk into playa blanca or 4 euro taxi ride so not too bad and to be fair a pleasant walk down. Negatives: the food both in the restaurant and the pool bar were average at best, as other reviews state dirty plates are an issue. We ate out alot due to the average quality of the food which is a shame with all-inclusive but it is what it is. The glasses at the pool bar were an issue, when they run out I watched them quickly rinse them under the tap by hand and I mean quickly with just water and fingers around the rim, that is totally unhygienic and unacceptable. Finally the pool area flooring around the sunbeds is filthy, my feet were black every day from the dirt on the floor. I did see them hosing the floor but its in desperate need of a good clean regularly. The hotel itself really is geared up for children and at times very loud. Personally I wouldn't return due to the food mainly but we did have a good holiday and appreciate the effort made from the staff, they work very hard but need more help to offer a better standard.

Just home from an absolutely amazing family holiday, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better stay! 🌴☀️ This is definitely one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in the Canary Islands. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable, and the food was fantastic, with plenty of choice and something for everyone. Every single member of staff is an absolute credit to the hotel. The bar and restaurant staff were always so welcoming, friendly and helpful, working incredibly hard while still having a smile on their faces. A special mention has to go to the entertainment team, especially Pablo and Costa. They are honestly the best entertainment staff we’ve come across on any holiday abroad! Their energy, enthusiasm and ability to get everyone involved were brilliant and really made our holiday extra special. ❤️ We’ve had such a fantastic time and would 100% return. We’re already wishing we were back! 🥰🌴 Thank you to the whole team for making our holiday so memorable! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
