The hotel keeps things relaxed with buffet-style dining and plenty of choice. Main restaurants serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with show-cooking stations and a mix of Canarian and international favourites, plus highchairs and microwaves for families. A separate snack buffet keeps everyone fuelled between meals.

Three bars mean you’re never far from a drink: a lively pool bar for daytime refreshments, a bright lobby bar and Lanzarote Bar for evening cocktails and shows.

A smart-casual dress code typically applies in the main restaurant (no swimwear), and some services or opening hours may vary by season and board basis. All Inclusive guests enjoy buffet meals, selected snacks including scooped ice cream for at least three hours per day, and a range of local alcoholic and soft drinks available for a minimum of 12 hours daily, plus 50% off premium ice-cream brands.

Outside, everything flows around four outdoor pools, so you can easily hop between splash time and sunbathing. There are two main freshwater pools with roomy sun terraces, sunbeds and parasols, plus two dedicated children’s pools – both featuring slides for extra fun. One main pool and one kids’ pool are typically heated from 1 November to 30 April, which is a big plus for winter-sun stays.

Up above, Star Prestige guests can escape to an adults-only rooftop terrace with whirlpool and panoramic views – a calm, stylish spot for an afternoon siesta. Pool towels are provided with a refundable deposit.

The sandy coastline is just a short stroll away (around 250m), reached via the pedestrian promenade that runs in front of the hotel. Here you’ll find family-friendly beaches sheltered by breakwaters, ideal for paddling and watersports.

Active guests can make use of the air-conditioned gym, fitted with cardio machines, free weights and strength equipment (minimum age usually 16 years). A daily programme of activities might include aerobics, aqua aerobics, pilates, yoga, darts, pétanque, pool table and table tennis – a good mix whether you’re in the mood to move or keep things light.

Beauty treatments and an on-site hairdresser are available for a charge, ideal for a little pre-dinner pampering.

Elsewhere you’ll find a 24-hour reception with concierge-style support, currency exchange, luggage storage and the option to hire extra equipment such as kettles. English-language newspapers and arcade games in the games room are available with local charges.
