Paradisus by Meliá Salinas Lanzarote – All Inclusive – Adults Only

*Sorry if this is lengthy. I'm trying to include all of the information I'd want to know* My friends & I came for a relaxing break just to spend time with each other, decompress & relieve stress. We were able to do that here because the ambiance allows for it. All the neutral tones provide that calming feeling you'd want. The crowd is more...mature. Many were the basic European couple or family & it looked like they were of retirement age. As an observation, there weren't very many of us mixed variety guest in the 30's range aside from us & a speckle of others. However, we weren't going for a party scene & we had each other so it wasn't a big deal. Many nights they had a live band & the Entertainment Coordinator (I wish I had his name) was great at hyping up the crowd to dance & enjoy the vibes. He was friendly and if he saw us during the day he gave us an update on the itinerary of the day and would make sure to invite to any event going on. There are three restaurants that require reservations so make those in advance if you can. We had help making adjustments to the reservations we had with many thanks to Carmen and Lucia! Also be mindful that La Graciosa has a tasting menu for dinner. The all you can eat had a pretty decent turnover of new food being replaced when it first opens but when they're about to close thats when you see the dregs of what's left. If I had to complain about that it would be some of the meats could be a bit more seasoned (more of a preference issue) & I would have wished they had longer time slots for each meal session instead of feeling rushed. I knocked off a star for the service (which would really be a 4.5) because: 1) we were not provided the rooms we requested but they tried to compensate by giving us access to both rooms.We were offered an upgrade in place of the room issue but it wouldn't have been comparable in space though it would have been a higher cost. 2) We didn't get quality CS from Rafael at the Shack. I had to go request for it and he seemed to have an attitude about that. Those two things didn't mess up our trip however. We still had a wonderful time. The rooms were cleaned daily, the mini bars filled once a day, the beds were comfortable and clean. The bathroom was cleaned and the showers had running hot water. In one of the rooms we had to figure out the ac because it seemed to not run the same way as the other but once we got it going, we were good. We were able to get assistance from the concierge for booking excursions and scheduling a car service for days when we had events to attend. We spoke to a few at the concierge and though I don't remember all the names, Elias, I think a Carlos, Lucia and Carmen all were extremely helpful many times. The resort is right on the beach front. It also allows you access to being able to walk along the beach front which has little shops and restaurants along their beach walk/boardwalk. Aside from the one staff member mentioned above all of the others we inter

Wow this hotel…. What can I say, from check-in to check-out this hotel and the staff were amazing. We arrived before our room was ready and was given a spare room to shower and change in which we thought was a nice gesture. Elias M on reception was very friendly and helpful, giving us restaurant and day trip advice and telling us all about the famous artist who designed parts of the hotel and the local area. The hotel is truly stunning, the salt water pool and surrounding area is beautiful, the water was a bit cold but it was February! Plenty of sun loungers. Plenty of activities and things going on from yoga on the beach to wine tasting. The staff are so friendly and attentive, the food in Malva restaurant is amazing for an all inclusive buffet, we didn’t stay long enough to try out the other restaurants which we were very sad about. We absolutely will be returning without a doubt, I was so sad to leave, I’ve never said that about anywhere we’ve stayed before! Thank you so much to all the hard working staff that made our short stay memorable.

After two weeks in this paradise, I can say that I had one of the best vacations ever. The cleanliness, attention, affection and empathy of the staff, make this place worthy of its name. My husband has reduced mobility, and this boy at the door was always aware of him. He always brought the walker without need of asking. And then a good talk about the English soccer league. My husband loved it and told me, let's see the boy to tell me how the league is going. Thank you very much Alberto, for being so patient and treating us like your own family. Anyway, thank Mayuk at reception. To the bar staff, and Bryan at the reception. We will definitely be back, because Paradisus feels at home.
