The hotel in general
An Eden rests delicately along the shores of Lanzarote, its structure emanating the vibrant heritage and boundless wonder of The Canary Islands. A celestial Canary Island resort paradise, layered with flora and Lanzarotenian aesthetics, draped with meandering pools and glowing, white sand.

Colorful murals, paintings, and lush, landscaped gardens garnish the premises, imparting the spirit of this enchanting island, and the vibrancy of prolific, local artists. Imbued with the ingenuity and love of Lanzarotenian architect/artist Cesar Manrique, Gran Meliá Salinas is a celebrated hallmark of this special region.

90 hotel reviews for Hotel Gran Melia Salinas
We had booked a one bedroom mastersuite which was very spacious and modern with two jacuzzis. Melia's red level royal service was included and that was great with separate checkin and separate pool area with snacks and cava.

Only minus point was that we could not connect our three devices to the free wifi in the lobby area. Luckily there was a beach bar nearby which offered free internet.
Also Costa Teguise is a ra... Read more

Too few service ( breakfast, dinner) this means the staff were very overloaded and unaufmerksm. The pool area is really extremely nice. Altogether recommendable nonetheless, one must only know, that the hotel quite old. Read more

When checking in a credit requires or 100 euros safety. I had both rejected and thus no credit for the drinks for dinner.
The room at about 1:00 P. M. Not ready, although the hotel was not fully booked.
I had to wait an hour.
Swimming in the sea is not recommendable, too many sharp rocks beneath the surface. At ebb-tide clearly visible.
Recommendation of the hotel conditionally! Read more

Garden villas are well worth a visit, but since our last stay at the May 2011 crumbled the service, detectable at small details. In this price range, still a drawback. Read more

We were very felt comfortable. The vegetables and other warm dishes (except show cooking) were despite heat lamp lukewarm. The cleanliness of the hotel, on the beach and the promenade along, was impressive. Read more
