Hotel Riu Paraiso Lanzarote

Hotel Riu Paraiso Lanzarote sits on Playa de los Pocillos in Puerto del Carmen, the island's oldest and liveliest resort town, roughly fifteen minutes from the airport. Six pools and four restaurants sit in gardens running down to the beach. Riu runs the hotel on all-inclusive around the clock, which is unusual on Lanzarote and the clearest thing in its favour. Food and drink are served through the night rather than stopping in the evening. The dining is broad but not deep. The restaurants Yashima and Yaiza are run as buffets, so there is no à la carte dinner to include in the package. Guests who judge an all-inclusive by its speciality restaurants should look at the H10 hotels in Playa Blanca instead.
