A Little Slice of Heaven!
Once again my husband and family had a fantastic stay at this hotel! We have been coming to this hotel for over 12 years and never tire of it! Every aspect of it is perfect. The rooms are spacious, very comfortable beds, cleaned every day and left immaculate. The food/drinks are wonderful as is the entertainment. Can’t praise the staff highly enough! They feel like family and always remember us from past years. We are greeted with hugs and kisses by the ones we have known for years! Their service is second to none! We try to go at least twice per year if not more. The views from this hotel are to die for!! Never tire of looking at the view, it’s wonderful. Out across from the hotel we can see Fortaventura clearly and right around the headland and also hear the sea quite clearly! All in all it is simply Paradise to us!!

Great sunshine summer break!!
We have just returned from a fabulous week at Sandos Papagayo! Myself and my husband went for a mini break with our son and his girlfriend. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome and there was a great buzz to the atmosphere. The hotel went out of their way to put us in rooms next to each other and we were given rooms in B block overlooking the sea. It was extremely quiet and peaceful, with just the sounds of the waves lapping on the shore! It was perfect.
The room was large and clean with comfy twin beds. There was good storage, a coffee machine, a fridge and water. The bathroom was large with a bath and over bath shower, a toilet and bidet. It was a little dated but clean and working.
The outdoor area was great! We had a patio area which looked directly over the beach and the sea with great views of Fuerteventura. It was a great place to sit and soak up the sun!
The rest of the hotel did not disappoint either, with its many levels, with shops, hair salon, bars and access to 3 large pools! It was exceptionally clean and well maintained. There were plenty of sun loungers, some were reserved quite early but we never had trouble finding spare ones.
The restaurants were excellent with a wide variety of food available everyday! We even managed to book into oriental night and Mexican night which were both worth booking when you get there.
The staff and entertainment staff were great, I’d provide names but I’m not good at remembering them! Look out for the poolbar man who is more than generous with his spirit measures!
I can honestly say we were quietly surprised with the hotel after reading some of the negative reviews, it just goes to show you can’t always go by what others think and it’s best to make your own mind up! We absolutely loved everything the hotel and the surrounding area had to offer, it was great value for money and we all agreed we would love to return! So thank you Sandos papagayo for a lovely holiday! We’ll be back!

Family of 4 had the best time
We’ve just returned from our first 11-night stay at Sandos Papagayo, and I wanted to write a little review for anyone thinking of going or preparing for their first visit.
We’re a family of four with two children (8 & 6), and we had an absolutely fantastic time! ❤️
The Staff
Every single member of staff was lovely, friendly, and helpful. The animation team were absolutely top-notch! They really took the time to get to know our kids and made such a fuss of them throughout the holiday. They were also so sweet when we left. Huge shout-out to Odanis, Christian, and Zak
Scuba Diving
My husband went scuba diving twice with the dive school attached to the hotel and couldn’t speak highly enough of Jorge. An absolute legend and a genuinely lovely guy. Highly recommended! ⭐
Rooms
The rooms were great and cleaned every day. No complaints at all.
♀️ Spa
A special mention for the spa! I treated myself to an Anti-Stress Massage with the lovely Anna, and it was honestly one of the highlights of the trip. ✨
Royal Elite (RE)
We didn’t go RE and honestly didn’t feel the need to. For us, travelling with children, we didn’t see any major benefits.
️ Food
The food was exactly what you’d expect from an all-inclusive resort. There was plenty of choice, it was perfectly good, and everyone in our family found something they enjoyed. The desserts were especially lovely!
Fusion Restaurant
We tried the Asian night at Fusion, but I think we were either unlucky with our timing (8pm) or it was just an off night. We found some of the food quite dry, so in the end we were perfectly happy sticking with the International Restaurant.
⚓ Marina
Please don't make the same mistake I did and leave visiting the marina until your last few days! We absolutely loved it and wished we'd spent more time there. It's small but beautiful, with some fabulous restaurants and lovely little shops. When we come back, we'll definitely spend much more time there. ❤️
️ Playa Blanca
Playa Blanca is a great little town with shops galore. As someone who absolutely loves a bit of holiday tat, I was in my element!
That said, I didn't really enjoy the restaurants along the seafront in the evenings. They felt a bit too "strip-like" for me. Personally, I preferred the quieter, more traditional Canarian feel of the marina. But everyone likes different things!
Getting Around
Use the buses whenever you can! They're incredibly easy to use, get you to loads of places, and cost next to nothing.
️ Weather
Remember, Lanzarote is an island in the Atlantic. While it doesn't rain much, you will get the occasional cloudy day, that's just part of island life! The good news is it's still warm enough during the day.
We used the cloudier days to visit the submarine experience and Texas Ranchero Water Park, both of which I'd highly recommend for families.
Pools & Activities
We travelled during half-term, and the activities for the kids were brilliant.
Get involved with your kids at the mini disco and learn the Jerusalema dance. Trust me, it's worth it for the memories alone!
And yes... the pools are absolutely Baltic!
Your kids won't want to get out even when their lips have turned blue, but somehow they warm up quickly enough and dive straight back in!
Loads to do! Archery , rifle shooting , crazy games , bingo , water polo ♂️... if it was happening, we were probably there! I genuinely think that's why we had such a laugh and met so many wonderful people.
Evening Entertainment
The evening entertainment was exactly what you'd expect, lots of Whitney Houston songs , acrobats balancing on chairs , and a variety of different acts. It was always a fun way to end the day.
❤️ Final Thoughts
If you're heading there soon, have the most amazing time! We genuinely had a fantastic holiday and made some wonderful memories.
We'll definitely be back ✈️

We have just returned from a brilliant week at Sandos Papagayo, we thought the hotel was great value for money and all the staff were really friendly and helpful, especially the animation team.
Our room was perfect for a couple and the sea view was lovely to wake up to every day. We were close to the lifts so we could hear the noise from it, but didn’t affect us enough to move rooms. The air con was good.
We enjoyed all the restaurants at the hotel, the main buffet was slightly repetitive but still enjoyable and our favourite was the Fusion buffet, would recommend booking for both the Mexican and Asian nights!
We found the hotel to be clean and the choice of pool areas great, we mostly used the main big pool but there is an adults only pool too. Most of the sun beds are gone by about 10am, but we were still able to find some after lunch time or you can just get some in the morning.
We enjoyed the options for both day and evening activities/entertainment and the animation team are great.
The shuttle bus into Playa Blanca is really useful, a slightly later afternoon return time (later than the 12:30pm) would be good.
We would definitely come back☀️

Great if you have young kids
I have stayed at this hotel previously in 2019 and found it had the wow factor back then, its lost that I feel. This hotel is suited to families, the children are the most catered to there is plenty to keep them entertained and happy day and night.
My pet hate in a hotel is having to get up early to reserve a sunbed but if you didn't get up early there were no sunbeds left for you.
The room was fine, not big enough for 2 adults and a teenager but manageable, the view from our balcony was perfect and our room faced the main pool. (Block H room 1122)
The animation team were great and there was plenty of activities and competitions throughout the day
The food was mediocre at best, breakfast was ok, lunch was hit or miss. I found dinner lacking the most not enough choices that went together to form a meal, such as meat, potatos and veg it seemed more random. The food tasted nice I just felt for a hotel of that size there would be more and better options as the buffet stretched the length of the hall but either side had the same dishes.
The drinks (cocktails) were awful! Premixed sugar even the aperol seemed premixed. The pool bar didn't open until 11am which I found was too late for even water or juice! So breakfast finished at 10 and you need to wait an hour to get a drink from the pool bar. They should leave the juice and coffee machine on.
The evening entertainment was good, we watched 3 acts and enjoyed them. There should be a designated smoking area as I found it difficult to enjoy sunbathing when someone was smoking next to me.
The white chair seating area at night was so overcrowded! They seem to try and pack too many people into that area. Im not sure why they stopped used the amphitheatre they have it was set up with ping pong tables instead and I felt the bottom floor area for acts wasn't ideal as some of the chairs views were obstructed by pillars so the set up seemed stupid, we sat the floor above looking down and its much better as you can avoid pillars as well as people just standing unfront of you when you are trying to enjoy the show.
It was my daughters birthday while there and I messaged ahead to let the hotel know and they done nothing, not even a card in the room saying happy birthday which I thought was poor.
All in all I wouldnt be back to this hotel due to it feeling more like a butlins vibe rather than a more classy hotel, too many children just running around doing what they wanted and parents no where to be seen.
