The Mirador Papagayo

This was my husband and I first trip to Lanzarote. We arrived around 10 pm and were quickly taken to our room on the fifth floor. The view of the pool all lit up looked really lovely and in the morning we had a lovely view of the sea. Despite arriving late, the restaurant was kept open for us and a few other guests and there was a good choice of light food on display. There are ample sun beds in and around the pool area and the hotel have a policy of no reservation of sun beds which is a fab idea! I enjoyed the aqua aerobics and aqua Zumba which took place in the pool at noon every day (except Sunday). It was also our first time on an all inclusive holiday and the choice of food and drink at breakfast, lunch and dinner was excellent. Also branded drinks were available. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the rooms were cleaned daily and towels changed. A bottle of water was also left in your room. The room also had a safe which was free to use. We found the staff very helpful and friendly. The nearest town is Playa Blanca but the hotel run a free shuttle bus three times a day. Taxis cost about €5. There are numerous shops there for souvenirs and also cocktail bars/restaurants. The beach was small but very busy. We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit and would definitely recommend this hotel to family and friends.

Wow, this must be one of the best hotels we have stayed in. Everything was excellent from start to finish, even upgraded to all inclusive as this was the best option for us as a family. The hotel was spotlessly clean, the hotel beds were so comfortable. The bottle of water provided everyday was great. The food was excellent always a different choice every night, so pleased to see no repeat of main dishes or desserts. The pool was also so lovely and warm. I have never spent so much time in a pool as I did at this hotel. The area was peaceful and quiet. It was about a 10/15 minute walk to the pretty marina, well worth a visit. I would definitely return to this hotel and fully recommend.

Just returned from a really lovely ten day holiday with my wife ,youngest son, daughter in law and our three grandchildren. We were given three rooms overlooking the pool and the sea, good size rooms with balcony's large enough for two sun beds and a small table and chairs.Like another traveler we arrived near the end of lunchtime, so the staff managed to get us through the necessary process to enable us to go to lunch,which was appreciated. The food in the restaurant was very good, there was perhaps not the choice we have had at other hotels but the quality was excellent. The pool area was outstanding with no shortage of space or sun beds, the main pool is a large circular pool that never seemed busy and there is a smaller pool for children, the pool bar is close by for drinks and food. The public areas in the hotel are well appointed and comfortable if you want to sit and talk or just sit quietly and read. I must just mention the staff at the hotel,quite the best from all the hotels we have been to, very helpful and very good at what they do. The main resort of Playa Blanca is a short 8-10 min taxi ride from the hotel and will cost about 4euros, the taxis are very prompt usually only taking about 5mins to arrive, Playa Blanca is well worth the visit. The only downside and this is not the hotels fault is that there is no sandy beach near the hotel,the nearest sandy beach is Dorada Beach which is quite a walk away. But that aside I must say that we had a really good holiday and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely hotel.
