Meliá Salinas - Adults Recommended hotel

We chose this long weekend of December to exchange our price of “summer corners” (minube.com) since it was difficult to spend five nights in a row any other time, due to work. It was simply spectacular.

The first thing they told us in the reception was “wow, you are lucky, I wish I had this price” and the second thing they told us was “if you are staying in a villa, you won’t go outside”. My camera says otherwise, full of pictures to share.

The access to the villas is private and independent. They give you a key and magnetic cards which give way to the exclusive area of the villas. They first thing you encounter is a garden and an enormous pools that looks like a lagoon and a minibar, where everything is free of charge, even the cava bottles. The only thing that is not free is the beer. And it was what I most craved when arriving there.

The Gran Meliá Las Salinas is an impressive five star hotel in the coat of Geguise, a few kilometers from Arrecife, capital of the island. It is probably one of the most luxurious hotels in Lanzarote, although the years are starting to show (the seventies was not a good time to build hotels in Canary Islands), yet it is still the best option to stay in Lanzarote, for those who can afford it, that is.

The master suite, where we stayed thanks to the kindness of minube.com, is 900 Euros per night. But it has two Jacuzzis, one inside, one outside in the terrace, which is incredible. And if you can’t believe the price, let me tell you that the incredible private villas are worth even more.

This is one of the nicest hotels I’ve seen. We didn’t sleep there but we went there for coffee and we liked it a lot. César Manrique decorated some of the hotel’s areas, leaving his unmistakable mark, especially in the pools…which is the closest I’ve seen to paradise.

It combines typical volcanic rocks of the island in contrast with the great white space and the vegetation. The hotel also exhibits works of artists. I recommend you visit the place. I’ll go back there.

One of the best hotels in Spain: relax, saltwater pool, perfect buffet and excellent service. It is an unforgettable experience inside this island that has so much to see: Timanfaya, Los Jameos del Agua, etc.
