"We’re currently staying at the Grand Hyatt Lanzarote on Grand Club Half Board and, having read some of the negative reviews before arriving, I honestly can’t understand many of them. We’ve been really impressed. We’ve eaten breakfast in Ola every morning and the choice is fabulous. There’s a huge spread, with eggs cooked freshly to order – omelettes, fried or poached – as well as a crepe station making fresh crepes while you wait. Dinner has also been excellent. They try to vary the theme each evening and we’ve always found plenty that we enjoy. Sunday Gala Night was particularly good, with a great choice of meat and fish freshly cooked to order. Our room is gorgeous – spacious, spotless and very comfortable. The huge 50-inch TV has actually been a big plus for us travelling with our young son. We don’t tend to do very late nights and, thankfully, he could sleep through a hurricane, so it’s been lovely being able to relax in the room in the evening! Housekeeping has been first class. The room is immaculate and towels are refreshed twice daily. The choice of pools is another huge plus. We’ve split our time between the Grand Club infinity pool and the family pool with the slides and have loved both. Everything has been extremely clean and we regularly see staff cleaning the pool areas and testing the water. The staff throughout the hotel have been fabulous – friendly, professional and genuinely helpful. Is it a true five-star hotel? In many ways, absolutely. There are, however, a few areas where the hotel is beginning to look tired. Some internal doors and skirtings could do with being renewed and some of the tiling around the pools needs attention. These are cosmetic things rather than anything that has affected our holiday, but they are probably what stops the hotel feeling completely polished and luxurious throughout. If Hyatt continues to invest in these areas, this could be an outstanding five-star resort. For comparison, we stayed at Princesa Yaiza in Playa Blanca during the summer. I would still put Princesa Yaiza slightly ahead in terms of overall finish and that really polished five-star feel – but the Grand Hyatt honestly isn’t far behind. Overall, we’ve had a fantastic stay. Great food, beautiful room, excellent pools, superb housekeeping and, most importantly, wonderful staff. Would we return? 100% yes – for the right price, without hesitation."
