THB Tropical Island Halbpension

"11th stay at THB Tropical Island Playa Blanca since 2022. What makes us choose to return: Staff - THB team want everyone to have their best holiday, it's their priority! Pools - loads of them to suit everyone throughout complex and a new hot tub! Adults only pool - very peaceful plus ongoing improvements, newest example shelves on sunshades that are really practical and better than old plastic tables. Hotel grounds - so much greenery and well maintained, we noticed additional path lighting so really lovely for quiet evening stroll along well lit paths. Sunbeds - 100s of them available 24/7. Rooms - spacious and well maintained, I don't care if my preferred rooms are dated, they have huge baths! Restaurants - great value/choice in buffet restaurant, Atlantic for take away or eat in for pizza, pasta etc, plus Atlantic's price for eating in or takeaway is the same price. Hassan and Isaac at Atlantic are excellent hosts, the chefs produce great food. Entertainment - in the Dome onsite. Tip, best to visit when professionals are there! Location - 10 minutes to "town" and beach or 15 minutes to marina. Hotel - spacious and never feels over crowded. For this review I would like to give special mention to Aremi on reception duty when we checked in - the room allocated was perfect 1st floor, sun in the afternoon, large balcony as I'd requested. Sun from 8am - 8pm was a bonus! Unfortunately, room faced road across from reception before blue gates and from previous visits we knew it would be noisy from buses either reversing or idling engines when folk were picked up/dropped off, but all credit to Aremi who tried really hard to find a room we would prefer - we made the room work by keeping all windows closed and air con on, it was only really bad a few times to be fair. Aremi also suggested rooms which would be better suited for our next visit - many thanks Aremi and this is another example of staff going the extra mile to help! During a chat with Patricia the deputy manager, we were discussing the improvements we'd noticed, (including the sign at the towel hut I'd previously suggested for ease in 4 different languages, I took credit for that!!), Patricia was delighted that we'd noticed the improvements the hotel is making and advised upcoming alterations the hotel is making to make guests' experience better. THB Tropical Island continues to be our first choice for Lanzarote - many thanks to everyone who works so hard to make our stays so good, we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else😁❤ See you again soon🤞"

"Butlins/wetherspoons vibe. Don’t come here for peace & quiet. We were booked elsewhere but 5 days before our trip, jet2 advised us of major building works. Ended up here as it had an adults only pool/bar area (at extra cost). Only the bar area is closed and the only place to get food or drink is snack bar by the kids oool, akin to a kindergarten serving artery clogging fried food, all drinks served in children’s plastic beakers. Avoid if you want a peaceful break."

"Very nice place, a bit dated, pool needs to be well monitored for young children, but the buffets were too repetitive, by the end of the stay several people were sick 😷 (vomiting), so I was one of them."
