4-star hotels in Lanzarote – our opinion
Summary
The range of 4-star hotels in Lanzarote is remarkably diverse, catering for all types of traveler. You’ll find..:
- family establishments with kids’ clubs and entertainment, perfect for all-inclusive family vacations,
- large resorts that offer a complete experience with multiple pools, a variety of restaurants and activity programs, some of them adult-only,
- small boutique hotels with a more intimate, personalized atmosphere,
- apartment-hotels, an excellent option for longer stays or for those who appreciate independence.
The 3 seaside resorts
The geographical distribution of the 4 stars is interesting: they are particularly present in Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise, offering excellent value for money. In Playa Blanca, on the other hand, the offer is more inclined towards 5-star establishments.
