Sandos Papagayo

I had a fantastic holiday! I was due come with my partner however last minute changes meant I had to travel alone.. Having never taken a solo trip I can honestly recommend this hotel to do it. From the moment I arrived the ladies at reception gave me a warm welcome which was much needed as I was extremely nervous about being alone. This is my second time at Sandos papagayo (previously 6 years ago). To my surprise I was upgraded to a junior suite which was AMAZING! This helped make up for me being there alone. The rooms were cleaned daily with fresh bed linen and towels. Tea and coffee replenished. The location of the hotel is great as I was able to take daily walks and feel safe. I didn't venture to the beaches as I did before but I do remember them being beautiful. I did, however, walk to the marina and market on the Saturday. The hotel is large and very clean. I enjoyed the food and was always able to find food I enjoyed. Would recommend the fusion restaurant. I had a great time at the evening entertainment with the live singing and acrobatic shows. One suggestion would be for a live show on a Saturday night as the karaoke was not so great. Overall I had a great holiday and wished I had stayed longer than the 5 nights. My stay was relaxing and I will definitely be returning... next time with my partner.

Just back from a week at Sandos and wow, what a week! This place is incredible! So chilled out and laid back. The hotel itself is beautiful, clean, and spacious! The food was incredible, so much to choose from, they had something for everyone! Thoroughly enjoyed the Mexican & Chinese at the fusion restaurant, top quality. The rooms were stunning, clean, modern and spacious, plus the sea view was amazing! The entertainment was great fun during the day and at night! Cannot wait to visit Sandos again soon, will definitely be booking in the not so distant future! Thanks for an amazing week! If you are planning on going to Lanzarote, you 100% need to consider this hotel!

Honestly I cannot fault our trip. Yes hotel might need a bit of updating and a few more staff at bars would be a bit better but that aside what a fabulous place to have a week away. Food was great Entertainment the energy of team was just brilliant Setting is second to none and every day was a joy. Only thing I can say that was wrong by was that we did not stay longer Thank you for an incredible stay See you next year

This is our second visit to the hotel as a family of 3 , we flew out with easy jet , last time we flew with tui and checking in to the hotel was very easy . This time we had to show loads of conformation take screen shots and email them over on arrival , as easy as that is its still stressful after you have been up so early, we got to the hotel around 11:30 in the morning , our room wasn't ready until 16:00 , but its fine you can store your suitcase ask for towels and go round by the pool until your room is ready .Our room was nice its royal elite so its better then the standard rooms , bits did look a bit worn in the room ( but ) its just a room you sleep there and thats it , the cleaning staff for the rooms were very good and beds always made and floors cleaned , the hotel in its self is nice but I feel its more of a very nice 3* hotel rather then a stated 4*, the crazy golf does need attention its looking very sorry for itself, there does seem to be a fair few broken tiles outside some are raised and you could trip on them if your not watching where your going , the pool area was good , loads of sunbeds available but we went after the 6 weeks holiday and there was hardly any kids there in comparison to last time we went , the larger pool although looked clean at the bottom of the pool was loads of grit and sand or dirt you can feel it on your feet and see it moving around as you put your head under the water , food ( royal elite) brilliant im not a fussy eater but the food was very good and all staff in the restaurant was very nice , its worth the upgrade if you want my advice, my biggest problem was the evening entertainment!! When I came last year it was indoors and you can sit over 3 floors and watch it , plenty of room and entertainment was good , no one was pushing or getting infront of you , this year for some reason it was outside by the pool bar , it was completely rammed as there wasn't enough room or chairs , people standing infront of you people carrying chairs over there head walking around with them trying to get a decent view tables getting dragged about the que for the bar was massive as there isnt anywhere else close to get a drink , it was a joke and I feel it completely ruined the evenings for us , the entertainment was ok but it was far better last year , would I return again , unfortunately probably not, the first time was amazing so we booked up again but its not the same this year , its still a nice place to come and the reviews speak for themselves, but unfortunately as a family we probably wouldnt return .

We have had a fantastic stay for 7 nights at this hotel, All Inclusive and did not upgrade to Royal Elite. The pros are as follows: ⦁ Such a welcoming and fantastic atmosphere throughout our stay ⦁ Friendly staff where nothing was too much bother ⦁ Selection of food throughout the day. There is something for everybody. Even the snack bar reopens from 11pm to 8am - which is great for any late flights or early risers before breakfast starting in the main restaurant. ⦁ The animation team are very outgoing and like to get everybody involved with any activities ⦁ The rooms are very clean and the team always greet you with a smile and a good morning. Particularly Olga who was always happy. ⦁ There are 3 pools of which 1 is an adults-only area. ⦁ The hotel is close to a local supermarket (Hyperdino), approximately 5/10 minute walk away, which sells any essentials that you may need. ⦁ Free Towel Hire - you are given tickets at check-in in and you can collect free towels and then replace them as and when needed ⦁ The entertainment was fantastic. Something different every night! ⦁ Only a Few Euros to the Marina (or a nice 20 min walk) and Playa Dadora Beach - which is a must visit!! ⦁ Views from the Hotel are lovely. We did pay for a sea view and it was well worth it. ⦁ No Sunbed Wars - there were always sunbeds available.

Myself and my family have just returned from 10 days at Sandos Papagayo. What more can I say then this hotel is perfect! We didn't upgrade to the royal elite. 20 euros per day per person was abit steep. We was AI plus already so no need to pay any extra really. The food was brilliant, what AI hotel serves Sirloin steak for lunch..... None I have been to in the past, and that is even with 5* hotels! The food variety was great, always something to eat. Breakfast is what you would expect a breakfast to be, the lunches were always varied even a snack bar if you didn't fancy much. Dinners on an evening, phwoooor, loads of choice, even an Italian side which would cook in front of you! Delicious! The rooms were cleaned every day, and even did funny things with my daughters teddies. The location is picturesque with the pools looking out over the ocean. The atmosphere was a very chilled laid back sort of vibe. Breakfast wasn't open until 0800. There is many pools you can go to and there was no sun bed wars! Plenty to go at. The animation team are fab, Rami, Tomasz, Neil, Raul and Danny are great with kids, getting them fully involved with the games round the pool and at the mini disco at night. If you win a game during the day you get a certificate on the evening and a bottle of 'Dom Perignon' ;) One of the days I won all the games! Nothing was out the way for them and the kids just wouldn't leave them alone! The shows on a night were good, sometimes the music was a little loud but nothing to much! I could go on and on but if you are reading this, BOOK IT! All in all an absolutely great trip and some great memories made!
