Costa Calero Hotel

Just come back yesterday (25th August) from a windy but sunny week at the Costa Calero - our third visit. And I must say that they are trying very hard - as one of the few hotels actually open on the island - to keep things as they always have been, but of course adding in the extra precautions you would expect. Santizer everywhere you looked, masks worn by everyone, tables and chairs cleaned after each use, buffet utensils regularly replaced on the buffet, most people eating outside and sunbeds being cleaned every evening. The hotel is very very quiet, apart from the weekend when we had an influx of spanish residents. The room we had was spotless and very comfortable,but looking tired and in need of updating. It was lovely to have the pools almost to ourselves and we felt very safe in the hotel. Staff were an absolute pleasure to deal with and were very attentive. We did go to Playa Blanca which we found eerily quiet (apart from the beaches) and virtually everything was shut in the marina. A word of warning if, like me, you need a public toilet regularly. Most of them are closed there and I was lucky to find one that was open right at the end of the marina otherwise it would have been a much shorter visit! Puerto Calero marine seemed to have more restaurants open there. Some of our foodie favourites at the hotel buffet did not appear sadly, but they are catering for a significantly reduced number of guests, so this is understandable. We still ate well everyday. Our only disappointment was - despite booking directly with the hotel - we were not aware that certain things were not open, in particular the Piano Bar, which has the best views in the hotel and has always been a highlight of our stay. We understand why certain things were shut, but some advance notice (or even maybe being informed at Reception on arrival) would have been appreciated. If you would like a quiet, comfortable few days in the sun, going to the Costa Calero right now (if you can cater for quarantine) is a good bet. We will I am sure return one day.

We stayed here for 9 nights from August 4th. Our 3rd stay. Puerto Calero is a lovely location on this beautiful island. Costa Calero is a brilliant hotel. Stayed in a 2 bed select suite, the view from the balcony is breathtaking. I think all select rooms are on the top floor. Food was great, especially liked the prestige lounge. Special mention to the animation team who were superb. There was not many staying in the hotel due to Covid but even so they kept the animation program going with enthusiasm. Our kids loved it ❤. If you want a spacious, clean, high quality hotel with lovely staff in a special location then look no further......oh and give the Spa a visit too such a relaxing place. Wish I was still there......

Been here 4 times and last October 2019 and due back October 2020 all in the hand of COVID. Just love this Hotel is one of my best in Lanzarote and I have been to many. The Entertainment last year was brilliant how they do it I really don’t know. Food after a while you feel be little overwhelmed but it’s holiday at the end of the day.i really hope we do get to back in October I just can’t imagine the new normal mask and all and hope it eases soon if not we will be back next year. Fingers crossed.
