Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Villa VIK - Hotel Boutique is an adults-only hotel, and it is made for guests who want quiet above all. It sits in a residential street near Playa del Cable on the edge of Arrecife, 200 metres from a calm, sandy beach, with spacious rooms, a large heated pool and a hot tub in the garden. Because the hotel is so small, the pool is rarely busy, there is no background music and the staff get to know their guests; their warmth and care are what reviews return to most, followed by the food. The small size also has a downside. When the team is short-handed, service in the restaurant and bar slows down, and the dinner menu is brief. Apart from the beach there is little within walking distance, so shopping and dinners out mean a taxi, a bus or a 20-minute walk to Arrecife. Couples looking for rest and privacy will feel at home; travellers who want buzz around them should look elsewhere.
Guests score it 9.0 out of 10 — the average across the 19 hotels we list on Lanzarote is 9.0.
- The small team is the hotel's strongest point. Guests describe staff who work hard, are always smiling and helpful and clearly want you to relax, and several name individual members of the team.
- With only a few rooms, the hotel feels private and calm. Guests chose it precisely for that, and some single out the lack of background music as part of the charm.
- Several guests found the hotel understaffed at times, with one person covering several jobs, slow service in the dining room and little help at the bar in the evening.
- The residential setting is quiet but has little around it. The beach is close, yet for most shops, cafés and restaurants guests take a taxi, the bus or a car, or walk about 20 minutes into Arrecife.
