We had a wonderfully relaxing stay at the Meliá Costa Atlantis. The hotel’s social spaces, including the bar and reception, were beautifully designed—both inviting and aesthetically pleasing, making them lovely areas to spend time in. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and the balcony offered a sea view, which was a highlight. However, the bathroom felt a little dated and could benefit from some modernisation to match the overall style of the hotel. The food was enjoyable throughout our stay. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and dinners were generally very good, although the selection did vary in quality on different evenings. The pool area was ideal for relaxing, and the hotel’s location is excellent. We especially loved strolling along the promenade and stopping for coffee along the way—it really added to the experience. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would happily return.

“Room 701”

We had booked a room with a Teide review and got room 701. It was a good room with a balcony overlooking Teide and one at the end overlooking the sea.

We had booked a room with a Teide review and got room 701. It was a good room with a balcony overlooking Teide and one at the end overlooking the sea. The hotel was very quiet and the beds were comfortable and there was a choice of three pillows on the bed. The kettle etc was in atvthe side ofvthe wardrobe and wasn't much room around it. It would have been nice too have proper bedside tables with drawers in them. A dressing table/shelf would have been useful in the room (or near the mirror) to set toiletries on. The rooms were made up daily and a bottle of water was left in the room every morning. The pool area was nice but more sun loungers are needed, if you weren't out by 10.00 am you didn't get one. The restaurant had plenty of choice, although sometimes food wasn't labelled and we didn't know what the dishes were and the food at dinner time sometimes wasn't very warm and the dinner plates weren't warm.

“Mixed feelings”

Location is in the North, which is a hour and a half driver from the airport. It's a bit tiring after a long flight if your travelling down from further than London or Manchester to get here. The Hotel is very nice and has been renovated fairly recently. The area it's self is very up and down hill,… more

Location is in the North, which is a hour and a half driver from the airport. It's a bit tiring after a long flight if your travelling down from further than London or Manchester to get here. The Hotel is very nice and has been renovated fairly recently. The area it's self is very up and down hill, so if your older or have mobility issues you might find getting around a bit hard unless your on a coach based holiday. I would say it's ideal for hikers. The surrounding area is a mixture of new, old and run down. It's more of a Spanish resort. If your looking for loads of bars, clubs etc you won't find them here. If your not eating at your hotel, I would stray away from the main strip and head down back streets to eat, it's cheaper. Plenty of supermarkets to grab a snack or drink and they vary. If you get the chance, grab a cab to EL Campo, it's like Costco and you will find drink, cigarettes and everything but the kitchen sink to buy there. There are also some lovely shops there. It's about 10 mins and 13 euro by taxi. You can get a bus. There are some lovely places to see the old town, the botanical gardens. There is a zoo and aquarium but the tank is very small to keep Whales and they do to many shows a day. But I believe they should be in the sea. You can go on boat trips to see them in their natural habitat. We had a standard room that was quite spacious with a balcony. Granted the view wasn't great but could see the sea at the end of the road. Air con works really well, comfortable bed and lovely pillows. Nice bath towels very big but not the softest but that's how I like them. There is a mini bar but we used it to store milk in because you never get enough. Hairdryer in bathroom with a 2 head shower. Nice and clean and was cleaned every day. Room was very quite at night even though we were on a main road. The dining room is buffet style and there is a fair amount of choice from cold to hot. Some nights I wasn't to keen and not much choice for kids if they are fussy. I would of liked the food a bit hotter, so eat up quick if you don't want a cold meal. Breakfast was probably the better of the two sittings. If I came here again I think I would just do breakfast. The serving staff were hit and miss. First two nights it was like to much trouble to take your order with a side of arrogance. Then the 3rd night we had a little bald waiter who was pleasant and polite. So we sat at which ever section he was covering. We found the same sort of attitude in a number of places on the island. Puerto Del a Cruz is more a Spanish resort which is not a bad thing but not as welcoming as the people of Lanzarote. Both our transfer rides in the mini bus were just the same, it was like an effort to drop us off. The wine was a bit pricey and some waiters kept trying to push it in the restaurant you can buy it by the glass but we had water or a beer then had drinks in the hotel bar or one of the many small bars/cafes nearby. Overall hotel nice, food ok, lovely pool area. Staff hit and miss in the bar and restaurant restaurant. Spa and reception staff were fine. In a few shops we even got asked if we were English, I joked and said does that make the price go up. If I go back I'll try another area of island. Overall for what I paid for this trip it was very fair, shame the surroundings and some of the people let it down.

I am staying here right now and echo many of the reviews of many previous customers. No bed side tables with draws, is annoying. The quality and consistency of breakfast is very hit and miss ( the poor chef frying eggs at busy times cant cope with demands) waiters are very efficient. The housekeeping staff are very nice, but sometimes rooms are not cleaned until 4pm and we have to constantly ask for coffee refills. There are no Ice machines available and the front desk advise getting ice from the bar, for the most part that works and many bar staff have been friendly and accommodating ( apart from the odd rude female member of staff that makes life difficult ) . Spa is good, but €25 for 90 mins is a bit much and is probably the only reason the hotel gets 4 stars. Massages can be obtained locally for half the price on offer at the hotel. . Pool gets busy but is well managed and clean. We booked Melia Torremolinos a month ago which was excellent and the reason we chose Melia Costa Atlantis . However, they are not the same quality and Atlantis lags far behind.
