Suite Hotel Fariones Playa  

Activities for Adult and kids were good, aqua fit every day to help you work off the lovely meals from the night before. Location of hotel was great, close to both new and old town for restaurants and just on the beach for building sandcastles. Breakfast was included in our booking and was great. Both hot and contintental options.

The only problem was the availability of sunbeds. My husband was up from 7 each morning at the pool to keep a sunbed by the kids pool. And even if you didn't want a sunbed in a particular location, most of the sunbed were taken by about 8.30 so if you weren't down early you wouldn't get one. I would recommend the hotel to friends but would also feel obliged to explain the 'sunbed situation' so they would get the full picture before committing to booking.

Great for young and old

size of apartment - normally hotel rooms in Lanzorote are small that is why decided on apartment . looking forward to shop opeing - please stock quality items rather than the same TAT that is everywhere on the island

Entertainment should be more geared towards the clientele at this time of year ( winter) playing loud music and 'crazy game' to the over 40 ies is riduculuosly childish, have a plan in place to store the sun bed matresses when raining as by the time the sun does come out it is not enough time to dry before the next shower. Put teapots and trays on breakfast Buffet ( safety and convience and less traffic at the buffet)dangerous people wandering around with cups of hot liquid in their hands. Finish breakfast at 11.00 instead of 10.30 - we're on holiday !!

Size of our suite. Water and wine and fruit a lovely gesture in room

Pool area, people placing towels on sunbeds early morning.Then not returning to use them until later . This would stop me using the hotel in future. This needs to be controlled.

The location is excellent and is really suitable for people with young children. The breakfast which was included was very nice with a good range of choice. The staff present at breakfast were very friendly, accomodating and made families welcome. The cleaning staff were also very friendly and the rooms were kept very clean. The mini disco in the evening was also enjoyable but the drinks could be a bit pricey. The kids loved the pool and the easy access to the beach was fantastic. This meant that children could easily move between both the pool and the beach and parents did not have to be dragging buckets, spades, towels etc over long distances- a frustration that we have often experienced in other resorts

The fariones reception staff were unable to book a taxi that could take 5 people to the airport. This meant we had to take two taxis which doubled the cost. I would recommend that if you are booking two rooms ( to accomodate 2 adults and 3 young children ) that you specify in your booking that you want both rooms to be side by side. We ended up with the rooms being a significant distance apart and this was not rectified until the third night. This was very inconvenient and was not the best start to an otherwise very enjoyable holiday.

Beautiful swimming pools and gardens, good food, luxury lobby, bar and restaurant, proximity to the beach.

Bedrooms not up to the standard expected. Prices of alcoholic drinks too high.

(We booked the Suite Fariones, but they had a problem on arrival and asked us to move to the Fariones Hotel next door, we did and were very pleased) Hotel Fariones Overall, very good facilities, friendly staff, but most of all, the food was excellent. Dinner was buffet, but with good variety and changing every night. There was also a choice of four cook to order joints every evening (as well as the full choice buffet), two fresh fish, chicken and steak. Breakfast had a good choice hot and cold buffet.

Just a little comment, More sun loungers and sun brollies, having to get up at 7.15am to ensure a seat and brollie is not my idea of a lazy holiday.

Location and cleanliness

The staff weren't always as helpful as they could have been

Sunbeds taken by 8 am, mostly empty just covered with towels all day by people gone on day trips. Couldn't enjoy d pool at all, just swarms of children jumping in from every angle

On arrival our party of six were qiuckly boooked in and shown to our "suites". Holiday got off to a good start with the complimentary bottle of wine and basket of fruit. Pool area first class and well maintained with excellent lounging facilities, towels also supplied which meant room in the suitcase for duty free! Two trips and you are on the beach which can be viewed from all the apartments. We were bed and breakfast and could not fault the range and quality of food. Staff were friendly and professional. Convient to the old town and main entertainment area of the resort. Will use this hotel again as we had a very relaxing and enjoyable hoilday. First class and value for money.

The location is excellent, in town centre with the old town just a short walk away and the newer part of town on the other side.

Our appartment was on the same side as the night time entertainment so we had to endure the music whether we liked it or not. It did finish by midnight and everything was quiet after that.

we booked an appartement but there was only a hotel room available on arrival
