stayed in fab duplex apartment (kids on ground floor us on second floor) two lovely terraces would recommend. wished could have afforded to stay in main hotel which looked fab. great beach and worth paying that bit more for this type of self catering apartment.

Typical of Lanzarote, the staff at Riu Olivina are brilliant. A warm welcome in a relaxed atmosphere with plenty to do. We stayed in the apartment block which is detached from the main hotel complex, which suited us perfectly. With its own salt water pool which although cold when you get in is fantastically clean and refreshing. An array of... More

First impressions of the area we were in was not good. It was obvious that we were not going to be able to sit in sunshine on the terrace. In shade for most of the day;which I suppose would be a good thing in mid summer. It was only a few yards to the pool side and the sunbeds are... More

Not up to other Riu holidays. Apartments quite spacious but a few tiles missing and overall a little shabby, very little in the way of equipment. No kettle etc to boil water for a middle of the night cuppa, not even a small pan. Apartment was in a lovely position, facing the pool but we realised keeping the patio doors... More

Stayed here in Aug 2011. We had a lovely big room looking out to one of the pools - big bathroom, nice sized bedroom with cupboard space and safe. Big living and kitchen area and a good sized balcony. Pools were freeeeezing. It was a very windy week the week we were there so i think that may be why... More

A tough one this. You've heard the saying: 'that is sooo last year?' Well, this would apply to the Olivina apartments - if you'd said it in 1990! Talk about tired and dated, deary me. The room was clean let me be clear about that, and airy. We had a lovely pool view and the maid was smashing - as... More

Just got back had a great time. Staff great room good, but would suffer in the peek period, as no air co, Just a fan which is ok this time of year. Too much drink and so much food, entertament was good some time and early to bed on other nights. It would have been nice if the pool could... More

After 10 days in this hotel I cannot recommend this hotel. The first impressions were fine as the reception staff were very efficient when booking our party in. The first visit to the bar was fine, the staff were friendly enough but that was due to the fact that there were self service pumps of soft drinks and larger and... More

We went to Lanzarote last week and had the best time!! We were booked into the apartments. These are classed as 3 stars but they were lovely. Very very clean, comfy bed, strong shower and little kitchen. We stopped on an AI basis and ate at the hotel part (this is the 4 star part of this hotel). Food was... More
