Canary Island resort like Olympic Lagoon Cyprus

12 replies

Hello all, looking for some advice/recommendations for AI family resorts in the canary islands with some specific facilities please?
We previously stayed at the Olympic Lagoon in Aiya Napa Cyprus and loved it, so looking for something very similar but in Tenerife/lanzarote as we want to go in Dec/Jan so need the warmer temperatures.
So ideally looking for somewhere with multiple restaurants and all day snack bar, suite rooms or rooms with dividing doors, as well as good kids facilities I.e kids club for toddlers and a creche for babies, playground and a walk in Lagoon style heated kids pool, with slides/splash park that is covered. Sorry I know that is quite picky but it's what we know works for us and there must be some hotels out of the hundreds that exist that have these things! It's just difficult to find them when you can't always filter/search by these things.
TIA

I've stayed in the Olympic Lagoon and agree it's fabulous. I loved the lazy river.
I've stayed in lots of hotels in the Canaries but not come across any quite like that. Just to mention that in December / Jan it should be warm and sunny but the pools, even if they are actually heated, are never as warm as Cyprus in summer.

Roca Nivaria Gran in Tenerife has almost everything you’re after. However, the kids pool isn’t covered and there isn’t a lazy river.

Sentido aqueora suites has rooms that have a proper door between the bedrooms, a splash park and kids club is great albeit not for babies.

I don’t think you get the same kind of resorts in the Canaries (unfortunately). However we still love it for short haul winter sun.

Out of interest, who do you book through as its so expensive!? We'd love to go back but now my son is over 2 we would need a free child place to keep the cost down and even then it's stretching! What time of year do you find best?

Would you say it's still warm enough for little ones to go in the pools? Just worried my son won't be able to be in the water very long without getting too cold then it would be a bit pointless!

I've been in May, June and this time it will be in October. I've always had to book direct with the hotel as they let you pay on arrival. However you have to book literally a year in advance as it is always full if you leave it last minute.

Sorry to jump on your thread OP, is it worth going to Olympic Lagoon at Christmas? I appreciate its not hot but wonder if it's a good area for sightseeing? Can you still swim with a wetsuit perhaps?

@Skatkat2007 my DC are older but plenty of babies looked happy enough.

Does that work out cheaper do you know?
