Just spent a week there. Absolutely brilliant hotel. Couldnt find any negatives. As someone said earlier all the staff are fantastic from Reception, Bar staff right through to the cleaners. Exceptional place
Another great video , I’m not even looking to book this hotel but I still watched it all 😊 thank you once again for a very good video with lots of information
Great video and very informative content. We’ve just booked for middle of August. Family of 4 (kids 12 and 7) and this certainly has helped to alleviate those post hotel arrival jitters. Thank you 😊
@@mymatedave13 Glad you enjoyed it, you will have a great time I’m sure. Wish I was going back, I m sure we will book to return in a few years. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for making the video, I’m booked to go last week of July, I’m in a wheelchair so I was looking out for the pool hoist (chair that lowers you in and out of the pool)
Great you will enjoy it Lorna. There’s also a ramp down to the gate onto the promenade and I saw wheelchair users on there so I am sure you will have a great time.😁 I think you can see the pool hoist at 06:33 to the left if you pause it at the main pool? Sorry I will make sure to include that info on future videos.
Excellent review. I’ve stayed twice at this Hotel and will be going again. I agree with all your comments stated in your review, apart from the Prestige pool being warm, it was freezing on both my visits. The Hotel is excellent with very little wrong in my opinion.
Glad you agreed with most of it Russell. Yes I would also love to return. I never go in cold pools, only really hot ones so didn’t go in, but my kids and wife did and I was told it was warmer than the main pool. Maybe they started heating it more? Thanks for watching!
@@RustyBUCK1 yes that was pretty warm this time I was told, warmer than the unheated main pool, and similar to the infinity pool in the main bit. Maybe they started heating it more.
We stayed here years ago before they did it up, it was good then so must be brilliant now, such a shame they dont want tourists anymore otherwise i would book that today🤦🏻♂️
They want tourists it is how most earn a living. Don’t worry about that it is a few minority, and in fact their beef is with Air BNB etc, not people in hotels, it is being hyped up by the papers into something it isn’t. Thanks for watching and I would definately book if you want to go. We only encountered friendly people.
Hi. Thanks for taking the time to do these vids. How do you upgrade to that star prestige level? Do you you have to do it there and how much does it cost please?
Hi Derek thanks for watching. You can book it in advance or upgrade on arrival. Negotiate on arrival if you do- depends how full etc it is as to cost maybe.
As in drinks etc? They are very good all branded things, see the menus I include in the video. You can also ask for other things. Excellent hotel. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Cheers thanks for watching. Unfortunately I didn’t get to the kids club, as no young kids, mine are now 17 and 20. I should have filmed the outside, it looked like quite a big area, tucked around the far side of the kids pool. The lady running it was very nice as I was talking to her, and she played the ‘Bearded lady’ in the Greatest Showman show😂
Very informative video. Does Abilene know how good is the food in comparison to other hotels in Playa Blanca. Only thing I would say is that Prestige doesn’t seem worth it.
Thanks for watching and your comment. The food is extremely good, it is a top end buffet, better even than, say Anthelia. But it doesn’t have a table service restaurant which would be nice. Star Prestige isn’t really worth it for the food alone as it isn’t much different , but depending on price you pay it is worth it for the quiet pool (which is really nice, and makes the holiday IMO) and the quiet restaurant. We were sceptical we would like those areas but even my kids say they thought it was very nice to be in there, the pool area in particular and with the massive hot tub etc. Another advantage of Star Prestige is if you are not all inclusive you can drink for free until 6pm.
They have Mahou on draft, San Miguel especial, Corona and Warsteiner in bottles. Warsteiner is the best but they ran out half way through the week. Thanks for watching.
Interesting- I’ve stayed in most of them and find this one of the best (at least all inclusive I think it’s the best). Princess Yaiza is better but much more expensive and not AI. Natura Palace is nice but again not AI. I’ve stayed in Dreams Castillo (or whatever it’s called now I forget) , Rubicon, Sandos, Princess etc and found this the best personally. Barcelo I don’t much care for. Which are your favourites? Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@seamusmckenna9307 really in what way? It gets very good reviews and was voted one of the best AI in Europe on Tripadvisor. Anthelia is better (see my vid) but very expensive. Which one do you prefer? Thanks for watching.👍
Hi Lucy, trousers are not necessary but as we were in the Star Prestige bit, no one was wearing shorts in there on a night (I did first night though and you can) and surprisingly few in the main restaurant either. It was not that warm on an evening though so I didn’t mind wearing the trousers and felt more comfortable in them for sitting outside etc. If it had been very warm on a night I suspect more would have been in shorts. Enjoy you will have a nice time, it is a great hotel with nice atmosphere and excellent staff 👍
I did wear them but you don’t have to. Most seemed to be, but it wasn’t that warm on an evening and more may be wearing shorts when it’s warmer. Have a great time, lovely hotel.
Thanks for watching all, please leave a comment and like the video. It would also be great if you could subscribe. What do you think of the hotel?
Thanks very much for this informative video 😊. Didn’t realise until seeing it that there was such a great 5 star all inclusive hotel on Lanzarote 👍🏻
@@user-xx1xj7fn3j thanks for watching, yes this is a really good one.
Can't wait to go Lanzarote playa blanca again next month
Enjoy!
Great video! We are coming in may with our two boys 3 and 5! Really excited after watching this! Thanks
Hope you and your boys enjoy it Stacey- I’m sure they will.

Totally agree- thanks for watching and commenting Pete.

@@wakeywarrior Hi, I meant the Prestige adults only pool.
@@RustyBUCK1 yes that was pretty warm this time I was told, warmer than the unheated main pool, and similar to the infinity pool in the main bit. Maybe they started heating it more.
Great video! We've booked for this year excited :)
Thanks Adele, sure you will love the hotel.
Coming back in May!! I love it here ❤
It rightfully seems to get very many returning visitors- enjoy!
Lovely video, market days at Marina Rubicon, are on Wednesday’s & Saturday’s.
Thanks for your kind words Joanna. Yes I caught the market on a Saturday I think it was.
I would like to add, the staff at this hotel are what makes this hotel fist class, especially at the Prestige bar.
Yes the staff are all excellent. 👍

@@wakeywarrior Thanks for replying mate. It looks really nice. 👍
Hi great video I’m heading out there on Thursday can’t wait. Did you have to wear trousers for the evening meal? Thanks. Xx
Yes I did but you don’t have to.
@wakeywarrior Thank you for the great video. How good is the all inclusive option? Thanks
As in drinks etc? They are very good all branded things, see the menus I include in the video. You can also ask for other things. Excellent hotel. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video. Would really like to see the family rooms though, as we have 2 children. Also how’s the kids club? Thanks

Going in a week what lager is it on the all inclusive mate
They have Mahou on draft, San Miguel especial, Corona and Warsteiner in bottles. Warsteiner is the best but they ran out half way through the week.
Thanks for watching.
Does this hotel have outside dining?
It has the snack bar near the pool which has a good menu but it’s not on the all inclusive.
I had stayed there it ok nothing special stayed a other hotels in playa Blanca which I liked better
