Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 22 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Hotel Riu Paraiso Lanzarote is the choice for guests who want service that does not stop at midnight and a short transfer from the airport. All-inclusive runs twenty-four hours and there are six pools. The trade-off is the pace: with a kids' programme, live shows and a nightclub, this is a lively family resort rather than a quiet retreat.
Guests score it 8.6 out of 10 — the average across the 19 hotels we list on Lanzarote is 9.0.
- Riu runs its all-inclusive 24 hours a day, so drinks and snacks are available well after dinner is over.
- The six pools are four outdoor pools and two children's pools, and dining is split between a main buffet and themed restaurants.
- The RIU Land kids' programme runs by day, and live shows and an on-site nightclub take over in the evening, so the hotel is rarely quiet.
- Riu describes one 24-hour all-inclusive for the whole hotel; no upgraded package with extra privileges is advertised.
