Wellness & Relaxation

The spa has hot tubs, Finnish saunas, Turkish baths, a solarium, and a massage chair. A fully equipped fitness centre and a beauty service shop are also on site. Sun loungers and sun umbrellas are placed around the pools and beachfront.

Location & Surroundings

The hotel is set directly on Las Coloradas Beach and is 600 meters from Papagayo Beach. Timanfaya National Park is 20 km away, and Los Ajaches Natural Park is nearby. A free shuttle bus runs twice daily to Playa Dorada beach.

Highlights

All-Inclusive: 24-hour all-inclusive services with 5 restaurants

Rooms: Ocean-view balconies overlooking Fuerteventura and Lobos Island

Pools: 3 outdoor pools plus a heated pool and kids' pool

Wellness: Hot tubs, Finnish saunas, Turkish baths & massage chair

Location: Direct beach access and 600 meters from Papagayo Beach

“This all-inclusive hotel stands out for its commitment to family-friendly holidays, particularly with its 24-hour service-a rarity in Lanzarote. While the location is ideal for beach access, it's the wide array of activities and dining options, from themed restaurants to Canarian cooking classes, that define its appeal. In my view, its eco-friendly approach and proximity to natural attractions like Los Ajaches Natural Park further enhance its position as a thoughtful destination.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Sandos Papagayo for its spacious rooms, many offering lovely sea views. The all-inclusive experience is a highlight, with a variety of food options at the buffet, including dedicated vegan choices and themed restaurants like the Asian and Mexican. The hotel's location offers easy access to a well-maintained promenade leading to the Rubicon Marina, though some find the walk to Playa Blanca a bit long; a short taxi ride solves this. While generally appreciated, a few guests have noted that the entertainment sometimes starts quite late in the evening.

satisfactory stay

lovely walk sea view sunbed issue average food
the location offered a lovely walk along the coast. i enjoyed access to the nearby marina. the rooms were cleaned daily. it was a nice touch to have sea views.
the hotel has sunbed issues. reserving sunbeds was common before 9am, but the policy wasn't enforced. i also thought the food was just average.

Excellent Family Holiday Experience

varied food peaceful room fresh salad
I found the food amazing every night. There was a great choice. The rooms looking out to the sea offered a peaceful atmosphere with an amazing view. The kids pool had a good depth. Highchairs were always super clean. Wine, beer, juice, and coffee were all really lovely. Fresh fruit and salad were always available.
The children's park could benefit from additional equipment. This would enhance it further.

The hotel provides good access to the coastal footpath. A cycle path is nearby. There are sandy beaches in close proximity. This eastern location is easily reachable from the town's marina.

free towels sea view
The hotel had free towel hire using tickets I got at check-in. I could replace them as needed. Views from the hotel were lovely, especially since I paid extra for a sea view room, worth it. The animation team seemed very outgoing and liked to involve everyone in activities. Rooms were very clean. Olga always greeted me with a smile and good morning.
I found the alcohol selection within the all-inclusive package somewhat limited.
