A Sovereign favourite, H10 Timanfaya Palace is an adults-only luxury bolthole on Lanzarote’s breathtaking south coast.
The newly perfected design is Moorish in style, with large, light-flooded rooms and a palm-studded pool area. The hotel sits on the fringes of Playa Blanca, in a quiet spot that suits laid-back breaks. Pick from the pools, dine Middle Eastern at Kasbah Restaurant and play a game of tennis – or do nothing but flop down on a lounger and soak up the uninterrupted ocean views.

About the location
This former fishing village on Lanzarote’s southernmost tip has blossomed into one of the island’s best beach resorts. Playa Blanca’s namesake is the ribbon of white-sand that extends along the southern coast. There’s a beach-focused vibe that means long days on the sand and sunsets spent in a waterfront bar, with the fabulous Marina Rubicon providing the resort’s best picks of stylish bars, Mediterranean restaurants and designer shops. As for the beaches, there are quiet bays and watersports zones, plus the picturesque Papagaya beaches known for their secluded, sheltered setting. In the evenings, duck into a local restaurant for a few native Canarian dishes – expect Spanish, African and South American influences with a big focus on seafood and tapas.

For information this is my first review & I'm basing it on having used Tui to book the majority of our holidays over the last few years in hotels by Atlantica,Constantinou Bros,Tivoli,Tui Sensimar.
We booked this holiday in September 2017 at a Tui shop using one of their advisors for 1 week all inclusive double room with balcony unfortunately this translated on arrival to basement room with terrace with no privacy & a bathroom that was certainly not of 4star quality.
The room was reached via 2 lifts the main lifts do not go down to basement level? & What appeared to be a service lift via a fair walk.
In summary;
No privacy being next to the main ramp up to ground level
No soundproofing next to lift & no carpet down in corridor, tiled uneven floor hear everyone coming & going
No extraction in bathroom & very dated & worn out
Complained to Tui rep (first time ever) the next morning only to be told I was 4th in line to be moved after a bit of a debate regarding our booking & what is a balcony & what isn't & being quoted the very small print in the terms & conditions, eventually he went away to see what was available returning to say we could be moved on Sunday meaning 3 nights living out of a suitcase? The next morning we received a printed sheet written in I think 4 different languages infoming us if we still wanted to change rooms we had to vacate our current room by 10:30 we would get the card for our new room & booking changed over after 15:00 so no room for 4.5 hours? We didn't bother.
All in all not what we were expecting & if we had known we were going to be allocated this basement room we would not have booked this hotel & I am at a loss as how Tui rate it as they do.
Rated this hotel a honest 3stars as even though as mentioned in other reviews it does need a refurb to keep up with other hotels of equal rating it's all inclusive food & drink package is v good staff the same & it is in a good location.
Would we return ;
Lanzarote yes
Plays Blanca yes
Timanfaya Palace no
H10 hotel no

Arrived mid April for 11 nights full board at this couples only resort (via TUI).
All Inclusive is an extra 40??? per day each if required, but we enjoyed walking out for lunch and choosing our own wine and drinks at meals etc and largely came in under the AI cost, so worth considering when pricing your trip.
Play Blanca is 1.5 miles from the H10 and a lovely seafront walk, on a very good path. The Rubicon marina (designer) is another mile or so past, but again a lovely long walk (a 5??? taxi back) with great bars and restaurants.
There is a supermarket with restaurants and bars literally a 2 minutes walk away from the H10, which is handy for day to day.
We found the Volcano Timanfaya Restaurant in PB excellent and went back 3 times for 3 different meal choices
The H10 is a great resort, spacious and well laid out with an excellent range of choices and options at meals. The pools
and poolside bar are also excellent and we spent many sunny (& windy but it is Lanzarote!) days next to the main pool
The piano bar is very good in terms of layout and range of drinks, plenty of space with a terrace and views to take great pictures and has entertainment nightly, as does the disco bar on the second floor.
Access is good with lifts and ramps everywhere, so should not limit anyone. The rooms are well appointed and a return programme is underway through the hotel.
The staff are a class act and make the holiday special - thank you all so much for all your hard work and for making our trip special.
We always judge our holidays on whether we would go back or not, and we definitely would 😎😎😎😎😎
The whole trip though is made by the hotel staff who are superb. Always smiling and attentive, nothing too much trouble and a real

Returned here for our 2nd visit on 12 April for a week,I can only endorse the comments made by the majority of previous reviewers that it still exceeds expectations. We stayed all inclusive and upgraded to a sea view which suited us fine,l can???t personally see the advantages of the privilege package as the service and hospitality we received was exceptional.The food was very good with an excellent choice available at all meals a special mention must also go to the hard working bar staff also the evening entertainment was very enjoyable. Will definitely be returning in the not to distant future.

My partner and I love our holidays and as such, have pretty high expectations. We???re a couple in our 40???s and travel frequently for both work and pleasure. Whilst I rarely post reviews, because this Hotel, and of course it???s people, exceeded our expectations, I felt compelled to provide a summary on just how great this Hotel is;
Service - much has been written before about how good the service is across every area of the Hotel and I can only agree. Not only that but it???s clear that the Hotel team have a great camaraderie between them which was great to see and be a part of. Whilst every member of staff was great, special mention has to be made of Kim in the Kasbah restaurant, who looked after us with great friendliness and professionalism throughout our stay. A great ambassador for the Hotel.
Rooms - I believe these are currently in the process of being refurbished. Our room hadn???t been updated as yet but it was still a very pleasant room with plenty of space and great see views (please remember though that sea view rooms the same as anywhere, incur a supplement when you book, and because the Hotel is popular, an upgrade when you arrive I suspect would be extremely unlikely)
Food - this is really important for us when choosing a Hotel and alongside the great service, is one of the key attributes of the Hotel. We booked The AI Privilege option so had access to the Kasbah restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. There was a great selection of both meat and fish dishes to choose from and all were beautifully cooked. The menu also changed part way through the week to provide more variety. This alongside a good choice of inclusive bottled wines and great service was one of the highlights for us.
Facilities - a big advantage for this Hotel over others in Playa Blanca is the plentiful outside space and lovely grounds. It means that there are plenty of sun beds to go round so you don???t feel the need to rush through breakfast to get a nice tranquil spot. The beauty of this Hotel is that is that although it???s peaceful, there???s still plenty to do if you feel like being active. There???s a well equipped gym and daytime activities such as aqua aerobics, archery, boules, pool tables, table tennis, tennis and gentler activities such as cocktail making.
In summary, if you???re looking for a peaceful break with great food and service in a lovely environment that represents great value, don???t hesitate to book. We???ve already booked our next stay and can???t wait to return.
Thank you to Jose and all the team.

Lovely hotel with warm and friendly staff. Excellent food, although at times it was only Luke warm. Plenty of sun beds and sea views. The only down side was our room, although it was comfortable and clean, it was very dark with no view due to it being on ground zero. Other holiday makers told us that we should have made it clear on our booking that we didn't want zero rooms.
Overall an enjoyable relaxing holiday
