Hotels near Ned Kelly's Irish Bar, Puerto del Carmen

Having stayed previously in a Diamond Resort complex on the Costa Del Sol we were hoping that Club Del Carmen would offer the same standard of accommodation and it did not disappoint. This is a fantastic small complex in a quiet area of Puerto Del Carmen literally across the road from a fantastic sandy beach. It is a short walk along the coast (5-10mins) to the start of the main ***** but there are bars and restaurants closer. The on site Baily Bar does fantastic quality food, well worth staying on site and having dinner here. We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa which has 2 bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs, one bedroom opens onto a terrace with sun loungers. Upstairs there is a living and kitchen area, another shower room with WC, and a balcony with table and chairs. The kitchen has everything you need including a dishwasher, kettle, coffee machine, hib and oven and large fridge freezer. Plenty of equipment to self cater if you want to pans pots cutlery etc. The apartment also has iron and ironing board. Spotlessly clean and well maintained. The on site pool is small but the complex is small and the pool never felt overly busy. The sunbed booking system is great means that there's no mad rush. Never an issue securing beds but the complex is so small most people seemed just to bathe on their patio or balcony.. Also the option to have freshly baked pasty and bread delivered to your room is something we used every day. Overall it's a brilliant complex with a great on site bar and restaurant in a fantastic location. All staff were very helpful and friendly and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this complex. It was brilliant.

Had another fantastic holiday here for our 5th time. We arrived on 29th Sep - 13th Oct and our room 1409 was perfect loved the fact it had a bath as some don't and everything about it was lovely. The receptionist who checked us in was great along with all the other staff. Veronica in the restaurant was the best and would always set us a table or clear us one if it was busy she was so helpful and friendly and really made our stay. It was nice to see Paco and Aaron in the bar they always look after us and remember us and do a great job when it's busy to keep the queues down. We love all the improvements like the free WiFi throughout and that the snacks are now served until 5.30pm that really made our stay more enjoyable. The snacks have also improved in what's offered. The only thing that let's it down now is all the flights are later at arriving so we didn't arrive until 10.15pm and struggled to get any food anywhere even outside so had to make do with crisps but usually we go in March and the flights arrive early so we have never had this problem. The entertainment team have also improved as there is things going on at the pool during the day where in the past there wasn't much happening. Entertainment is about the same with the best night being a Sunday. We met some people that we saw years ago at this hotel and also some people we see in March as it is a really nice hotel that is lovely and clean. It was my parents anniversary whilst we were there and we would like to thank the hotel for putting a bottle of champagne and a card in it was a lovely touch and thanks for the lovely room it was perfect. Hopefully we will be back in March for another lovely time. Loved the new door locks as it's just a tap of a card same at the gate and even the weather was lovely sunshine every day. See you in March.

First time staying in a Riu and was very impressed. Staff all really good and have never seen a hotel cleaned so much. The rooms were very clean and all the communal areas were spotless and cleaned throughout the day, we even saw the banisters on the stairs being cleaned in the evening. Our room location was not the greatest (109 and 111) as it was on the main walkway for people returning to their rooms in the evening and so had quite a lot of noise from passers by, I would imagine other locations in the hotel were excellent though. The resort is small and quiet with a short walk to Puerto Del Carmen if you like that sort of thing, but far enough away to feel completely separate. Very close to the airport too so a short transfer and you can watch the planes come in to land too on some days. We will definitely return (but not to those rooms).

We had a really lovely week at this hotel and it surpassed our expectations. It was a really beautifully designed hotel designed in the local style apparently and although it is big it still faint intimate and there was a lot of quiet space. We asked for a peaceful room and would certainly ask again for room 2143 which had a great balcony and sea view and a big room with lots of good storage space. The bathroom and room were immaculate although the bathroom was a little dated but renovations are taking place soon. Plenty of good quality sun beds, umbrellas and an adult as well as a mixed pool. Great programme during the day ie yoga, pilates and aqua aerobics and good quality animation at night. We used the spa most days as you have access to sauna and ice bath. We went half board as we like to go out for one meal a day and on your doorstep lots of lovely little restaurants and bars or a really nice 20-30 min walk into Puerto del Carmen which had some amazing restaurants. The food in the hotel was excellent and plenty of choice for every pallate. We don't usually go back to hotels or places but we are certainly considering a return for late sun Sept/Oct 25 as it was so good and Lanzarote is a lovely Island to explore.

I stayed nine nights at SENTIDO Æquora Lanzarote Suites with my husband, our three children (ages 16, 14, and 8), my sister's family (including her children, ages 2 and 1), and our dad. We usually opt for all-inclusive stays in Playa de Los Pocillos annually but have never visited this hotel. We were assigned three junior suites: two on the ground floor near the splash pool and one on the first floor (18 steps up) for my elderly dad and son. I would rate this hotel three out of five stars. This review provides an honest account of our experience. Check-in Experience When we arrived at 8 pm, there was only one staff member at the front desk handling check-ins, so we had to wait in line. The lobby was impeccably clean, bright, and welcoming. The staff member was polite but distracted, frequently interrupted by phone calls and colleagues needing assistance. Soledad, his boss, intervened several times and seemed dissatisfied with his performance. At one point, he disappeared into the back office for over 5 minutes, disappointing after a long day of travelling. Overall, the check-in experience was not very welcoming, and we were underwhelmed when we finally reached our rooms. Room Quality The rooms were excellent—extremely spacious and perfect for our family. The beds were comfortable, and daily housekeeper service was available. At check-in, we could opt for less frequent housekeeper service if desired. Free Wi-Fi was available in all rooms. However, the air conditioning was not enormously powerful, and the room could have been cooler. I have experienced better air conditioning in other hotels. The room had two sleeping areas, ideal for giving our older son his space. The main downside was the communal open bathroom area, which offered no privacy for toilet use or showers. I had to ask my son to leave the room while showering since dressing had to happen in the open. While we managed, the lack of privacy in the bathroom would not be suitable for travelling with friends or children's friends. It was an unusual setup I had never encountered in a hotel. Customer Service The animation staff at the hotel were exceptional. They tirelessly provided entertainment from early morning until late evening. Our children thoroughly enjoyed the kid’s club and especially loved the mini disco. Enes, who ran the kid’s club, was fantastic. He went above and beyond to ensure all the children had a wonderful time. We are grateful for his efforts and the enjoyable experience he created for our kids. Sadly, the remaining staff significantly impacted my rating of this resort. The rudest staff I have encountered in all my years of travelling. No staff member stood out for their friendliness or effort to enhance our experience. Many were rude and diminished our experience. The resort's size affected the staff, making guests a low priority. It was unusual and unlike any other experience, I have had. On the third night, at the Nautilus Lounge Bar & Terrace, we enjoyed our eve

After reading reviews was worried about what we had booked into, all I can say it’s what you make it and we had a fantastic extended family holiday. Yes lots of steps but our elderly parents managed fine even been up in the gods. Rooms very out dated and would benefit from some TLC, the views from the rooms are amazing looking out over the sea, absolutely beautiful to sit and relax with a brew in a morning and drinks in the evening. Pool is very deep but there is a small kids pool where ours played all day long with no issues. We were self catering but had many a brunch at the food bar and the food is excellent and reasonable. The resident ducks and one young seagull arrive when the pool closes at 6 which the kids found amazing taking pictures on their iPads. Lovely situated in old town with plenty of bars and places to eat. Life guard that was on during our week stay was fun and we had a good laugh with him. All I can say is no it’s not the Hilton but if it was you would be paying a way lot more. My advise if you have booked this is go and enjoy yourself a holiday is what you make it. I would book again for the location and views.
