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.

Just returned from a lovely relaxing, 11 nights stay at the Timanfaya Palace. In my opinion this hotel has the best location of any hotel in Playa Blanca. My husband and I stayed on a half board basis, which suited our needs perfectly. Our room was a standard double with a sea view, (took the advice of previous reviewers and booked the sea view option)and wow, what a view. We were on the 5th floor, having such a spectacular view, we used our balcony quite a bit, as it caught the afternoon sun till sunset and provided a sheltered spot to enjoy a glass of wine before getting ready for the evening meal. Most people make the effort to dress for dinner and it is a requirement that gentlemen wear long trousers, this rule is adhered to and is not unusual for hotels of this standard. Food choices at both breakfast and evening meals are very good indeed, with some themed evenings. The staff in the dining area, are very attentive and efficient. The hotel is airy and spacious, with lots of seating areas both inside and out. As it was my birthday whilst staying we booked in for a meal at the newly renovated La Geria restaurant which is the pool bar during the day. The hotel knowing it was my birthday had a complimentary bottle of Cava on ice waiting by our table. After a superb meal they presented me with a birthday cake, this really made the evening special. The hotel has a gym which we used on a number of occasions, with a selection of equipment, and lockers to store your personal belongings. Some classes are available and organised by the hotel, Pilates, yoga, stretching. For people who like keeping fit, the option of going for an early morning run is perfect here, as there is a pedestrian coastal path right outside the hotel. The pool area is clean, yes the water is a bit chilly when you first get in but your body gets used to it once you start swimming. Towels are provided at reception, you cannot reserve sun loungers, until after 9.30am, before this time your towels and belongings will be removed from unmanned loungers. However we noticed that the more, territorial residents would still come down early, sit and guard their chosen loungers until 9.30 and then there is a mass exodus for breakfast at that time. There were however still plenty of sun loungers to choose from in areas away from the large pool. I highly recommend this hotel if you're planning on a holiday in Playa Blanca, the staff all work hard to make this hotel run like a finely oiled machine. Well done Timanfaya Palace, and thank you for a wonderful stay.

Only in recent years have we started using H10 hotels. Not perfect but then you can always find fault if you want to. We tried the Timanfaya on recommendation. It did not disappoint. It is now one of our favourites and will use it on a regular basis. Ideally situated away from the crowds but within easy walking distance of the shops and restaurants. Its adults only and enforces a ban on reserving sun beds. 10 out of 10 for that. Some complain at the variety of food but there is ample to chose from. The staff are excellent. Highly recommended.

Youll be reading this review because you are either on your way here or are going to book.
Why people keep returning to this place is way beyond me.
Having read the reviews, looked at the pictures we booked this hotel for 7 days all inclusive.
For every good thing about this hotel, theres an equally bad thing.
The hotel it's self is about 30 years out of date.... all the sub pools have paint/concrete coming off and are dirty.
The main pools look ok but the surrounding area looks dated and does not reflect in the actual photos.
Your Room is excellently decorated and the furnature is of a good standard. Lovely double bed. The air con is old and doesnt get cold, even though the weather is struggling to get to 25c.
The safe box is extra and your mini bar is empty!. Not even water in your room, shocking for an all inclusive hotel which is not cheap.
The food is good quality although only luke warm on the hot plates. The eating area is more like a cattle shed and not a nice place to eat. No aircon in the restaurant or anywhere outside to eat. You have to where trousers to dinner.
No bars other than the pool bar are open in the day, so if you want to have a drink, you have to go pool side to get it.
The hotel looks tired and is in need of a full modernisation to match the rooms.
The staff are actually very pleasant and attentive, sometimes you have to reorder drinks as they dont turn up.
Playa Blanca matches the hotel.... not a nice area to come to. Its full of crabby shops, top many indians and dated eateries.
Work hard all year to be rewarded with this.
We will be going back to Greece next year for some proper 4-5 star.

We have just visited H10 Timanfaya Palace in Aug 2018. What can I say about this hotel? I would highly recommend this hotel for many reasons. Staff are very friendly and helpful always pleasant this includes the ground and cleaning staff too. Our room was nice and clean would recommend that you book a seaview room. We were half board which was great for us the food was excellent with great choices each night. There are activities if you wish to take part but no pressure if you do not. Please remember you cannot reserve your sunbeds before 9.30am which I feel is totally fair but there are plenty of beds. You cannot beat the location of this hotel right on the sea front with excellent walks to both Rubicon Marina or Lighthouse mostly on the flat.
We would definitely make another visit to this hotel in the future. Great Adult only hotel.

Spent 11 nights A/I in this lovely hotel, approx 40 minutes from airport. Room modern and clean with a number of English speaking channels plus bottle of wine in room on arrival. Branded drinks brought to the table and poured into your glass until you say stop! Staff all so friendly and nothing too much trouble, never had to wait long for staff to take your order. Nice pool side bar or main restaurant for lunch and cakes and milkshakes from Mikes as a snack if you???re still peckish. Buffet restaurant in the evening was varied and had excellent wine. There are 2 very cold outside pools, 1 heated indoor pool and 2 jacuzzi pools, unfortunately one of the jacuzzi pools had lots of loose tiles on the bottom, cut my foot getting out, however in a hotel this size the ???To do??? list must be massive. Lots of activities such as crazy golf, boules, pool etc. At night bar with pianist/saxophonist/singer or if you want a bit more noise entertainment such as ???Rock and Roll???. Great hotel and staff, would definitely recommend.
