After reading a few of the recent reviews, I was a bit apprehensive about this hotel. However, after spending a week there, I did not experience any of those problems. We saw no sign of building works, except the odd bit of painting. The comment about the rocks in the pool being annoying was in my view ridiculous! It was in no way a problem for us or our children, everybody around us seemed to have fun in the pool and surrounding area. Yes, people do put their towels out in the morning, but there are more than enough loungers for everyone, or certainly appeared to be. We had a ground floor family room (no 95) and it was lovely, very spacious for the 4 of us and overlooked the tennis courts. The only problem to us was the person next door who snored continuously every night. The rooms were not particularly soundproof!! The food was fab, plenty of choice and usually hot, the staff could not have been more courteous. Amanda the temporary relief beauty therapist really made my holiday as it was my special birthday and she did some lovely treatments. I would certainly recommend her. The reception staff were polite and helpful, and the hotel was clean and tidy. Would definitely go again - location was perfect, go out of the back gate of the hotel and one way to the marina and the other way to the town. Beautiful sea and beach views all the way!

I have just returned from a week with my fiancee at the Lanzarote Princess. The hotel was brilliant! Some negatice reviews and news of refurbishment work going on had me worried before we travelled, but I'm just glad I ignored them. This is a great hotel and the refurbishment didn't effect us at all. One corridor was having work done, but it was completely closed of, anyway, so I don't think it could effect anyone. The size of the rooms are the biggest I have had on holiday, plenty of room to chill out.

The hotel staff are really friendly, the bar staff especially. My fiancee had her birthday during the stay and we returned to our room late in the afternoon to find a bottle of champagne in ice, with a birthday card. Big surprise! My fiancee also got a cocktail for free in the bar the same evening for her birthday. Fantastic day.

There are activities throughout the day, something to suit people of all ages: mini golf; water polo; aqua-aerobics; bingo and obviously the kiddy club. The entertainment staff are full of energy and always have a smile on their face and work very long hours each day. I don't know how they do it.

As a few reviewers have said, the food is fantastic. We couldn't try everything we wanted as our stomachs weren't big enough, we wished we had stayed an extra week to try all the food! There really is something for everyone, with themed nights and the range of food!

The hotel has the key advantage over the other local 4 star hotels. It has the beach within 2-300 meters. The others are some way away from any beach, which is a big disadvantage to me, as well as the fact that all the gift shops and "supermercados" are close to the beach.

The Lanzarote Princess really is the princess of this resort!

Well where to begin , the whole experience was just as we desired.A good central location with easy evening strolls either East or West along the front,as this was early in their season a light jacket or shoulder cover is recommended as there is a cool evening breeze. The Half Board basis is more than enough as the food really is something to Die for and if you decided to eat out for a change there are plenty of differing Bars and Restaurants not too far away.The Hotel did have some redevelopement work in hand but no way was it at all part of our stay.Accomodation was very good friendly staff and nothing appeared too much trouble,wecannot wait to return.One last thing we found the hiring of a car enabled us to see the island at OUR leisure,,,Enjoj,,,,J and M

This was a first holiday together for my wife and our 5 month old son. We generally prefer more exotic, far flung destinations but wanted something family orientated with a shorter flight time to see how our young son would cope with the journey and the 4 stars H10 Lanzarote Princess seemed to fit the bill even though I know a 4 star in Spain will vary greatly from one in say Phuket or the USA.

We booked through Cosmos and used our Tesco club card vouchers so the actual cost of just over £1000 was reduced to £75! Absolutely brilliant, if anyone needs an insight into how the Tesco club card vouchers work send me a message. Anyway I digress on to the meat of the review:

First impressions of the H10 Lanzarote Princess were good then bad. The reception area is elegant if a little dated with lots of marble but check in was smooth and thankfully we weren't pressured into having a porter take our bags up to the room. Unfortunately the room although cleaned had dirty towels left in the bath and a used ashtray left next to the TV. This was soon sorted by a quick call to reception and housekeeping arrived quickly with fresh towels.

The room (number 2076) is about 5 along from the lift and was clean but again a little dated. There was some noise from inconsiderate people walking by and you could hear the entertainment each night but realistically this is a family hotel so this isn't a complaint. The room featured aircon (a little noisy) plus twin beds, a cot, TV, safe and a very nice large balcony plus an ensuite bathroom including sink bath/shower and bidet. Annoyingly to use the safe was an extra €15 for the week and scandalously if you wanted a fridge/minibar this was €2.50 per day with a minimum €20 spend!

The pool area was great for families, it has secure (key card access) on the back gate and has 2 play areas. The pool itself has 3 separate sections around a central "island"/pool bar. One section was heated but it wasn't really warm enough even though I was swimming in all 3 by the end of the week. Also as a leaning to Lanzarote's volcanic roots the pool has large black volcanic rocks as pool decoration which isn't ideal for youngsters and annoyingly there is a daily charge for towels and cushions for the sun loungers.

We were on a half board basis and I must say the restaurant is excellent. Clean, friendly helpful staff and a great choice at both breakfast and dinner. Out of the 7 nights we never had any disappointing meals.

Location wise the H10 Princess beats it sister hotels (Rubicon Marina and Timanfaya Palace) hands down. They are a good 2KM walk from Playa Blanca centre but the Princess is only 200M from Playa Dorada beach and equidistant (10 minutes walk each way) from the new upscale Marina one end along to the fishing and ferry port at the other. The whole prom is clean well lit and lined with nice restaurants and shops; it really seemed much more classy than most of Spain's older tacky resorts.

To summarise I would definitely come again with my family. Although the whole hotel could probably do with a little TLC it does exactly what it says on the tin. This is a reasonably priced family orientated beach hotel in a great location that serves decent food and has great staff. We felt safe, the room was nice and the resort of Playa Blanca was lovely.
