ILUNION Costa Sal Lanzarote

Just back from a 2 week holiday here. Location: 5 to 7 min walk to beach and shops. 5 euro for a taxi to Puerto del carmen. Onsite self service laundry and shop which was reasonably priced. Room: superior room in block 3 was fabulous and 30 second walk to pool. Room had everything we needed including shower gel hand wash and a hairdryer. Room was cleaned most days and patio area was spacious with sun loungers table and chairs. Pool towels are free to rent. Onsite pool bar provides snacks which were pretty good. Would definitely come back here again.

We had a really enjoyable stay at the ILUNION Costa Sol and would definitely recommend it. The staff were excellent throughout: friendly, attentive and always happy to help. Special mentions for Rosa, Daniel and Greg, who were fantastic and really added to our experience.

The grounds and pool area are exceptionally well maintained - those guys work very hard to keep things an high standard and deserve particular praise. We also loved the hotel’s policy on sunbeds. Staff actively prevent the 5am “space invaders” from reserving beds and disappearing for hours, with sunbeds effectively kept fair until 9am ehen cleaning is done. It works brilliantly and is very welcome! It makes mornings around the pool much more relaxed and means there’s no need to join the ridiculous dawn towel race with FOMO

We stayed half board. Breakfast was excellent, with loads of choice and plenty of variety. The evening food was fine, but this was probably the one area that might make me hesitant to award a full 5/5. Some dishes weren’t always piping hot and the choice could feel a little repetitive, even with the different themed evenings. Nonetheless, we always found something to eat, and it certainly wasn’t a major issue. Quality of food was good - beef, chicken, salmon, meats and cheeses, good breads, fruit selection, pasta and sauces and a good dessert stand too.

The rooms were spacious, well equipped and cleaned every day. We travelled with our two girls and had two apartments close together, which worked perfectly for us. I can recommend the location of rooms 109-121 - all nice apartments right by the large pool area.

The hotel’s location is excellent too. There are shops within easy walking distance and a quiet local beach nearby. It is also surprisingly close to the airport, only around 10–15 minutes by shuttle, but despite that we found it remarkably quiet. Its within walking distance of watching the arriving and departing aircraft too.

Animacion staff keep smaller ones entertained, but unlike other places I’ve stayed, they are unobtrusive.

During our stay the guests were predominantly British, particularly English and Irish, but with a good number of Spanish guests too. The overall atmosphere was friendly and relaxed - i think that the hotel lacks an all-inclusive tariff is a huge positive in that regard.

All in all, a very strong 4.5/5. Great staff, immaculate grounds and pool area, spacious accommodation and a really convenient location. Improve the variety and temperature of the evening food and this would be an easy 5/5 for us.

Would definitely recommend and would happily return.

We recently returned from ten days at this beautiful resort and would definitely book again. Everyone who works here is so friendly and helpful, particularly the lifeguards. It is spotless, the cleaners do an amazing job as our room and the whole resort are impeccably clean. Thankyou so much for such a great stay.
