Upon arrival
Upon arrival, the hotel looks stunning with two swimming pools. Barcelo Teguise Beach, like Barcelo Lanzarote Active, is a resort. You can choose from several restaurants and bars just within the hotel. There’s an ATM and car hire rental in the lobby too. You can avoid high fees with Curve* by downloading it free here or Revolut*
Dining and beverage options
Food and drink prices (if not included in your package) are a little on the expensive side, but the food quality is outstanding. The sports bar has a great location too, right by the beach. The breakfast buffet is amazing with cava provided free of charge. They also had food from all over the world, both hot and cold. I particularly liked the pastries and fresh fruit, as well as unlimited coffee.
Rooms and room types
The rooms are stunning. You get a Lavazza machine, kettle, tea bags, plenty of toiletries which is handy if you forgot to pack some, a TV with plenty of UK channels, a large comfortable bed, and some free water bottles to get you started. The Wi-Fi is a little slow but fast enough for video calling. Being adults only, all guests must be aged 18 or over.
The room was a good size with a nice desk, balcony, plenty of storage space, a safe, and fridge/mini-bar. I would avoid using the mini-bar as there are plenty of bars and supermarkets in the area that sell drinks at a fraction of the price. The only thing that some people might not like is there is NO separate bathroom. The sink is outside in the room. The toilet is closed off, and so is the shower, but you can see through the top and bottom parts of it. Of course, if you’re on your own, it makes no difference, but it might be uncomfortable if sharing with someone you don’t know that well!
The only other negative thing is, if you’re from the UK, my room didn’t have a USB charging point. Therefore, you will need to remember an adapter or have an EU-USB plug. However, you can buy one here* that has 3 USB ports as well as a UK plug socket https://amzn.to/42nOjrR Although, the room did have lots of outlets and reading lights on either side of the bed which is handy if you’re sharing.
Sustainability
The hotel has a commitment to eco-friendly practices, and you can see this in every aspect of your stay. Items are made from recycled materials, if possible; there is eco lighting (lights sense a person and only light up when people are around,) no plastic bottles and you are encouraged only to have four-minute showers. This rule is not enforced, of course!
Location
The location is great – from the back entrance, it leads straight to the beach (take the sports bar exit.) From there, you can turn left for shops and bars, and then walk back around to the town centre. If you turn right, there is a nice scenic walk that will take you to the Barcelo Active side of town. If you leave via the main doors, it will take you to the square and local shops – just a 2-minute walk away.
Amenities
Unfortunately, the spa was closed for renovations, so I did not experience this. The swimming pools looked nice but were a little cold. There were plenty of sunbeds, and no sunbed wars happening at all. The tables by the sun loungers enable you to scan a QR code and drinks will be brought to you. There is also a lot of entertainment and activities although I did not try any of them, as I was only there for one night.
Booking options
I booked on hotels.com and used my free reward night for this stay. See my review of hotels.com here. I paid £8 in taxes/fees and the hotel, ordinarily, would have been around £115 for the night including breakfast. I think this is value, if you’re using all the facilities on offer and compared to other hotels in the area.
I did not receive any other free items except a bottle of cava in the afternoon. You can get a great deal plus cashback with hotels.com. Go via TopCashback* and pay with an Amex* – right now you can get 9,000 bonus points with my link.
