Hotel Los Fariones  

The location of this hotel is phenomenal - both in terms of it being right on the beach and it being close to the old village of Puerto Carmen. Just about a 5 minute walk from the hotel is the Biosfere shopping centre where there's a Spar, a Mango, a McDonalds and lots of other shops. It's from there that I caught a bus to Arrecife and Teguise. Also, it's close to the scenic coastal walk route to Puerto Calero. As a solo traveller, I had an excellent time there. I also liked the mix of different nationalities, mostly Spanish, German and English. The breakfast buffet is wonderful.

Its location on the edge of the beach is excellent and allows for early morning walking and exercise. Its breakfast facilities are very good and the food is superb.

Its difficult to access the poolside unless you grap the loungers very early in the morning and of course many of the loungers are not occupied for long parts of the day but are reserved - this is not a complaint as such but could be managed better.

The staff were top class and so friendly. Location was excellent. Very Very clean.

1. There is no air conditioning in the bedrooms and it does get very hot at night. 2. They don't have enough chairs around the pool so unless you are up early in the morning to book your chair you have nothing for the day. And they don't take very kindly to booking the chairs in the morning. However this would not have to be done if they provided enough.

The hotel is convenient to the airport.

The reception staff are largely abrupt and not very pleasant! A smile doesn't cost much.

Very relaxing hotel - rooms are a bit dated but very well maintained and each has a sea view and balcony which was lovely and very good value. Lack of aircon did not bother me but I was in a room on my own and was staying in Autumn - with two people it could get a bit too hot - especially as the double beds are fairly small. Right on its own strip of beach and has two pools which were warm in Sept. Definitely for an older crowd - not for families with young kids/people looking for nightlife as it is very quiet. Perfect for a quiet relaxing week in the sun. Staff were very pleasant if a bit reserved. Breakfast was good. Ate lunch there a few times and it was decent - nice place to sit and handy not to have to trek out of the hotel. No idea what dinner was like as didn't eat there in the evenings. Highly recommend.

Beautiful hotel, staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel was clean and comfortable. Breakfast buffet had a great selection of fresh food.

Loved the location of the hotel, it's near both old and new towns' also loved the pool area and general layout of the gardens, fab!

Think in this day and age air-conditioning should be standard in a 4star hotel, however I was able to leave the sliding door poen at night wkilst closing the sliding shutters thus creating a breeze through the room thought the lunch menu was a bit basic

The views were fantastic from the rooms was fantastic, room was cleaned every morning. Would I go back to the hotel. Yes.

It is old in style, rooms included. It is a costly hotel for food and drink. Would be nice if the rooms had a fridge. Facilities is the hotel are not great. You have to go to other buildings within the group to enjoy them and information about the goings on in the hotel was not great

We stayed in Los Fariones for 9 days and wished we could have stayed for longer. It was beautiful and we left there feeling very relaxed. It's nice and quiet there and is perfect for a quiet holiday away, with the option of plenty of nice restaurants nearby.

Having to get up early every morning to put towels on sunbeds around by the pool! You snooze....you lose!

I really enjoyed relaxing in the landscaped gardens surrounding the pool.

The decor in the hotel bedrooms is out dated.

Excellent breakfast. Perfect location; very close to restaurants, shops, and bars. The hotel has its own private beach and it also provides access to the main beach in Puerto del Carmen. The hotel staff was very friendly. The rooms are comfortable and with a gorgeous view to the beach. I was part of a group of 4 families and everyone in the group really enjoyed the hotel. When I return to Lanzarote, Los Fariones Hotel will be my first choice.

The furniture and decoration is a little dated, but it really doesn't matter because the service, location, and facilities are excellent.

The pool is beautiful, the staff are all helpful and friendly, really enjoyed staying there, would definitely recommend the hotel

The decor of the rooms are a little dated but the amazing sea view from the balcony makes up for it

Location, poolside, breakfast, size of our junior suite

Hotel now very tired and definitely in need of a total revamp. Our bathwater was brown. Would have preferred a duvet on bed. It is now definitey not good value for money. Would think twice about staying there again.
