Los Zocos Impressive Lanzarote

We had a great experience at this hotel, travelling as 2 families of 5 and 6 and arriving on New Year’s Eve and returning on 7th Jan 2024. The hotel has a great location near to the beach and local amenities. Our two-bed suite was spacious, very clean and well equipped. There is no air-con switched on during winter, but the temperature during the day was average 22 degrees and cooler at night, so was not needed at all any way. One of our favourite things about the suite was the ‘L’ shape layout, giving a sense of privacy between bedroom spaces, and also the lovely balcony area. We stayed in room 1131 in block 1 and had a pool view. The only thing I would say is that the matresses are quite thin, but we still found them perfectly fine for our stay. The hotel pool areas were well-maintained and the pools were very clean (not heated FYI). Pool bar was inside which was good in cooler weather/early evening. Drinks choices good and liked the reusable plastic cups and collection points, helping to keep the outside area clean. We were really pleased with the food choice at breakfast, lunch and dinner - we couldn’t fault it really. The added option of the oriental and Galeon bar is a great addition and the food in there was lovely, we felt. Not a really extensive choice, but most definitely enough as an extra option. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. Entertainment team fantastic. They were great with little ones and worked really hard. The shows were what you would expect from an all-inclusive, with some nice touches - our favourite was the fire show and it was nice to have a live singer poolside one day. Crazy golf was also a good addition and volleyball nets. Grounds really well- maintained and we felt the whole place was kept very clean, right down to seeing window cleaners etc. There are a choice of a couple of places to get a drink in the evening. And there are also a choice of bars etc nearby away from the hotel if you want to venture out (lots with happy hour and lovely tapas!). It’s about a 20-25 min drive to the hotel from the airport and we really liked the surrounding resort too. Our older teenage children spent hours in the sea a little way down the coast exploring snorkelling and finding sea life. We had a trip to the Dominican Republic (Royalton Punta Cana) back in August 2023 which cost a lot more than what we paid for this holiday (and which ended up being a nightmare) - Los Zocos beats it hands down in pretty much every way!

Stayed during the Easter school break as a family of 4 with 10 year old twins. Hotel grounds are lovely, everything else was pretty average and I wouldnt say this is a 4 star hotel.....far from it. Grounds: Well maintained grounds and pool areas, plenty of sun loungers but hardly any umbrellas so not a lot of shaded areas particularly at the busy pool. Football park for kids which was excellent. Rooms: We stayed in a junior suite, fine for a family with young kids but too small for us. 2 single beds in the bedroom and 2 single couch beds in the living room which were rock solid. Bedding was stained on all 4 beds and not changed throughout our stay. Room was pretty dirty, stains on the floors, walls, mould in the shower. Nice balcony with table and chairs. Food & Drink: Main buffet restaurant was like a canteen, constant queues outside often 20 deep with people waiting to get inside. Food not replenished quick enough, often trays were empty and you were hanging about waiting for fresh stuff to be cooked. Not enough plates, cups etc - often had to go and get a paper cup for my coffee. Plates and glasses weren't cleaned properly and often dirty. Not a lot of choice for kids. Only 1-2 people serving at the pool bar during busy times so always a queue to get a drink. We ended up eating out every single night! Entertainment: We didn't stay in the hotel at night, the main seating area was a like a cafeteria and there was nowhere else to sit. Overall, the hotel was understaffed for the amount of guests which created queues for pretty much everything. The dining room was chaotic as was the area for drinks at night. This is definitely not a 4 star hotel, it is an average 3 star. We wouldn't stay again, have stayed in nicer 3 star hotels in Lanzarote.

Stayed in a Senior Suite room located in block 2, overlooking the quiet pool. Hotel itself is excellent. The grounds are very well kept with ample space for everyone. The pools were cold, but absolutely fine 'when you were in'. Didn't have to fight for sunbeds, though there aren't many areas with shade if you need it. The quiet pool area was really quite relaxed, plenty of space and a small bar to get drinks during the day. The main pool was much livelier with with plenty of music and entertainment with bar and snack bar close by. The food overall was good. Can't fault the breakfasts at all. There were a couple of evenings where the selections weren't quite as good, but that is probably on us and what we like rather than what was on offer. Food wasn't always piping hot and as ever in a buffet restaurant, it can be a bit of a free for all with lots of people moving around and piling the plates high. So, whilst the food was more than adequate and you won't go hungry, dinner isn't exactly a 'relaxing, calm dining experience' and is somewhat noisy and chaotic, but that's not unique to here. Rooms were spacious and cleaned daily. Costa Teguise is lovely with a nice selection of small shops and bars. Generally quiet though and far from lively on an evening.

Firstly, this hotel was fantastic. We were concerned on arrival as we were given a ground floor family room 2136 and we had requested an upper floor, but I have to say Im glad we got ground floor now, we loved our room, best one we've stayed in anywhere by far. It looked out onto the quieter pool, and the verander was huge enough for all the family to sunbathe with shelter from the breeze at the sides. It was perfect. The room was massive with two bedrooms and a huge lounge area. We hope we get this room on future visits. It was immaculate on arrival, and fresh towels for everyone were received often, with a toaster, kettle, and all utensils. The all-inclusive buffet was plentiful and always something different. Salads were lovely. Drinks were very nice with plenty of choice. I didn't notice the entertainment,but we spent our evenings in the Square or walking along the front most nights, so I couldn't comment. The location was perfect, only a short walk across the road to the beautiful beach. We love Costa teguise, so the lovely hotel just topped it off for us, and we will hopefully be back. Unfortunately, during our stay myself, my son and my husband were hit with what was thought to be a sick bug, so it spoilt our last 3 days, hence why I say we hope to return soon, but this wasn't anything to do with the hotel, as there was a bug circulating. Luckily, there was a chemist 2 mins up the road. The only thing I would recommend is that the hotel tops of its lovely service with a small tea tray in the rooms along side the kettle with a few teabags,coffee, milk and sugar as it's always nice to have a cuppa when you arrive late at night. Oh, and to top off this lovely hotel, we never saw 1 cockroach in our room the whole stay like we have in previous hotels. BONUS! We were given a courtesy room upon leaving to shower, etc, which was handy. We definitely recommend this hotel to everyone's families and singles,couples alike. We really liked it.

We have just returned from our stay at Los Zocos (28th March-4th April) We travelled as a family of 4 with children aged 6 and 2. Having read some on the previous reviews I was unsure what to expect. We found our stay to be excellent and genuinely have no complaints other than a warmer pool but I get it. Next time I will just pack wet suits for the kids. The food was delicious, lots of people I had read said it was a lot of the same foods. Although there was a lot of the same, I don’t really know what more people could expect? There was such a variety of food, as long as you didn’t have everything on the same night all on your plate you could have a different meal every night! I feel they catered for all and think if you moan about it there really is no pleasing you. I had read that the servers were rude and rush you out. We did not find this to be true! All servers we met were polite, smiley (if there was a language barrier) and helpful. Yes, as soon as you had finished they were preparing the table for others but never did they hang around waiting for us to finish. If there ever was a queue to get in the main restaurant you were through it quickly! My son went to kids club and loved it! (He never wants to go to kids club) The splash pool was ideal for my little one! The kids disco was perfect for us! We didn’t watch many of the entertainment shows but the ones we did were good. Room was clean, bar staff at the evening were very friendly!! Lady photographers did an amazing job of capturing memories of my children. Location ideal but we mostly stayed at the hotel as it suited us the most. I’m always ready to go home from a holiday (sad I know) but I easily could have stayed longer. My 2 year old got off the plane and said ‘best holiday ever’ Thanks all, important to acknowledge everyone here I think. It is such a big hotel with so many things to do but ran so well from what we experienced. Even down to the lifeguard who attented to my sons grazed leg before I even had chance to see it. We would recommend this hotel two fold!

Brilliant family holiday with our 7-year-old son. The kid's team were amazing and our son loved the daily kid's clubs which ran from 11 to 12.30 and 3 to 4.15 in the afternoon and also the hour-long kid's disco at night. After the Thursday foam party in the pool, my son told us this was the best day of his life and asked if there was any way we could find him a school nearby to attend so he could live here ... we went half board and it was the best food we have eaten in an all-inclusive deal ... the complex is very well maintained and the beach is right across the road with a lovely walk - Los Zocas has a full football pitch, tennis courts and mini golf....would highly recommend!

My honest, unfiltered opinion of the hotel. Stay dates 22nd - 29th March 2024. We stayed in room 2128, a senior 2 bedroom suite When reading please bear in mind my opinions or expectation might not be the same as yours. Staffing - lovely staff, very helpful but the hotel itself appeared very under staffed. They easily need an extra 10 people in the dining room per meal. Couldn't get food out or cooked quick enough on the fresh areas. Kids club - 11am - 12:30pm and 3pm - 4:15pm. Children under 4 can use the soft play in the morning with parents. Over 4s only in the afternoon. Over 4s can be left in the play room with staff both morning and afternoon Meals - best quality I've had abroad in a long time, but just not enough variety and slow to get out. We went with the earlier evening sitting 6:15pm to eat for the kids. The kids variety for my nearly 2 year old wasn't amazing, my 4 year old was more easily pleased. Cockroaches - we unfortunately did get cockroaches in the room. They were getting on from behind the toilet. As soon as I informed reception they came immediately and fumigated. It does smell quite bad so if needed I would move everything behind a closed door. We didn't get anymore once all fumigated. Room - I would definitely recommend upgrading if you have older kids or there are a few of you. There isn't loads of storage and I definitely would have struggled where to put all the clothes of you didn't have the 2 bedroom room. Noise in room - with us being on the bottom floor I heard everything in the room above. When they showered, pee'd and walked around. We faced the quiet pool and had no other issues with noise Mini disco - starts at 8:15pm, both dancing and games. Normal Spanish mini disco, just standard There is a supermarket and Santander for a cash machine close by. Beach is a 5 minute walk The Square 10 minute walk away We found the pools very cold and as adults couldn't get in them at all. Kids didn't care but they were in there as long as they were on other holidays. No inflatables allowed in the pool.

The room was great. Very spacious and clean. You had a kitchen area and dinning area plus lounge area. The bedroom was huge with 3 large singles in it. We had a balcony over looking the quiet pool and had a sea glimpse. Rooms were serviced daily to a high standard. The complex was clean and tidy and very well maintained. It was very pretty.2 good size pool areas with snack bars and drinks. Staff were very friendly in these. There was activities throughout the day if you wanted to join in. Plenty of sun beds to choose from but you still got folk putting towels on specific ones and then going off else where. Food was good in general. Plenty to choose from. Dinning room was very clean and staff very good. Felt there could of been more choice for the children. It does get very busy in there and so may have to queue sometimes. There was entertainment in the evenings which we choose not to do. We prefer quieter evenings walking and relaxing on the balcony. The hotel put us in the quiet area as we are an older couple but put our family with other families. So it was very quiet in our room. 2 sitting for dinner and they tend to put families with children on first sitting. The weather was bit all over the place with thunder and rain and wind. Oh and a sand storm. We did get some sun. The place over all was fabulous and we would definitely go again. And loved Costa Teguise.

So good we come back again… The food quality at the hotel is brilliant for a four star hotel; a wide range of food at all sittings with fresh meat and fish cooked there and then. Good selection of drinks available at all bars and rooms are spacious and clean. Food at the snack bar is repetitive but serves a purpose, the only downside is the queue for the bar at times in and evening and the entertainment is below par for the standard of hotel. That being said I wouldn’t hesitate to come back as the pros far out way the cons.
