Lanzarote Vacations from $1,161

From the wonderful entrance - a copy of the church in Teguise complete with Gregorian chants and incense to the beautifully attired room, we were blown away by this hotel, simply couldn’t fault it! Delicious food with ample choice, friendly staff, perfect location and 2 large swimming pools in a superb setting, we could not have been happier! I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Hotel Livvo Volcán and sincerely hope to repeat the experience!

This was our second time at this hotel, having visited at the same time last year. As before we had a great stay for a week. There was initially a minor mix-up over our pick-up from the airport, which we had booked in advance. There was no car to meet and greet us as we had booked. But when we phoned the hotel, they quickly sorted it out by paying for a taxi there and then. Also when we arrived at reception, they gave us an upgrade from an ocean-view room to a deluxe suite with a private jacuzzi. Much more than we expected. So a great start to a great week. Everything about this small intimate hotel is excellent, the original eco-design, the rooms and facilities, the Kentia gourmet restaurant and cocktail bar, the locally-inspired planting and most of all the friendly helpful staff. They are all highly trained to give individual care and attention. The hotel was fully booked whilst we were there, so occasionally, the pool-bar staff became a little overwhelmed by guest requests. A simple solution would be at least 3 or 4 staff on duty during busy times or a dedicated pool boy/girl for sunbeds etc. A very minor fault in an otherwise perfect hotel. If you want 5 star in Lanzarote - La Isla Yel Mar is the place.

The infinity pool was great

The hotel although out of the main areas is nice, peaceful and well equipped. The staff are excellent and could not do enough for you. A couple of areas of maintenance (very minor) required within the room itself. Otherwise a perfect relaxing stay.

Hotel Cesar was absolute perfection from the moment we parked up. The staff are exceptional particularly the wonderful breakfast team who go above and beyond. It is a nice touch that the on duty managers office has an open door policy onto the entrance way so they personally greet guests as they come and go from the hotel. The hotel grounds are stunning and as it is remotely located it has a feeling of exclusivity you wouldn't find from a resort hotel. That being said we found having a car essential and drove everywhere, being pregnant this was not a problem for us as I was always designated driver! The hotel has an onsite restaurant which we ate both lunch and dinner in during our stay and the food was delectable. The breakfasts were the star of the show with everything freshly made even down to the little cookies on the side of your coffee (one morning we were up so early these were still hot out of the oven!). The hotel has been renovated with care and style, the traditional Lanzarote green and white is well matched with stunning furnishings inside. It is also lovely that the hotel is filled with plants, giving the space a warm homely feel. The pool area has been well thought out with ample sun beds and private stone wall cabanas so you feel as though you are alone in your own little paradise. Our room was as comfortable as it was beautiful with all the facilities you need for an escape
