Tripadvisor Reviews
Great budget hotel
We stayed here over the 3 Kings Holiday, the staff are very welcoming and helpful. Our room was spacious and clean, we booked a sea view room and we had a great view and lovely balcony. There was no iron or kettle in the room but I asked reception for these and they were sent up straight away. I found the bed very hard but that’s just my opinion. I would definitely return, it was great value and I would highly recommend.
Decent hotel with great staff
The room was decent and clean. You definitely want a sea view. The hotel is well located right on the beach. The area is a great location for watching the sunset. However the thing that really made my stay was the staff. In particular, Harry and Maria were brilliant. Both super helpful. I'd definitely stay again.
A difficult experience -
My husband and I ended up in the Hotel Diamar on 24 th December for a few nights. This was because my husband took ill on a cruise ship, was admitted to the public hospital in Lanzarote, and was finally allowed to join me in the hotel, while still being treated with antibiotics.
So this was not a good situation for us. I was distressed, as I was upset about what was happening to my husband, and I was not coping with the stress of the whole situation.
Firstly, I'd like to say that Alex and Rafael, on reception (Sorry if I have spellings wrong) were very pleasant and helpful - they are both a credit to the hotel.
However, on Christmas eve, I was in a position where I needed food for us, after a difficult day spent in the public hospital in Lanzarote. I could not get food in Arrecife, as places were shut for the Christmas period. The hotel could not offer any food at all, although local Spanish families were enjoying a Christmas buffet. I was unable to obtain any food for us at all. Alex just apologised. I became very upset later, as we'd had no food all day, due to the distressing day it had been (I was not sure at that point how ill my husband would become. Food had not been a priority earlier in the day when the hospital was assessing my husband's health).
By the time food was a priority, I could not get us any....
So I'd like to point out that when people are placed in hotels by insurance companies, the chances are they are going through a difficult experience and not something of their choosing - some help with food on Christmas eve would have been so welcoming for us. I was able to purchase a cup of tea in the cafe at the front of hotel. I was obviously distressed by then, something that both the abrupt waitress in the cafe and the local Spanish families managed to ignore completely - Christmas "love and peace to all" was definitely missing.....
Having said all of that, both Alex and Rafael were very helpful during the rest of our stay there, before we were moved by the insurance company to another hotel (my husband was ill for quite a few weeks, and still had to recover fully when we got home - his recovery took months).
Alex and Rafael are a definite credit to this hotel. Their pleasant manner helped me a lot at a very difficult time, and the three stars I've given are really for them.
Very pleasant
Nice hotel , friendly staff, good choice of food for breakfast, good location, clean but dated room only wished I went for a room with a balcony
