I have just spent a few days with my children at Nautilus Lanzarote. This resort is very quiet, staff are friendly and the overall atmosphere is excellent for family holidays. I had read some reviews in the Russian language websites and I find that all positive comments are justified.

Lanzarote itself is a unique and beautiful island. At Nautilus you feel relaxed, almost as if you were at home. I especially valued this being there with my children. Moreover, the resort is very conveniently located near the promenade, so you can enjoy the sea and beaches and take a bicycle ride or roller-skate, for example.

You may miss the possibility to have lunch in the restaurant, but otherwise the apartments are very well fitted with all necessary cooking equipment.

By the way, one of my kids forgot his iPad in the apartment; I called Nautilus from the airport and they were so kind to send a person to bring it to me! I wish to express my thanks to reception staff.

We had a wonderful stay at the Nautilus Bungalows. We arrived at noon on Hogmanay and were able to get into our accommodation immediately. It was very clean and well equipped; with the small kitchen area having everything you could need for a holiday break. Rooms are very secure and bright and airy.

As a family of four, with a 2-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son we found the place very safe and child friendly. The pool is great - if a little cold for this time of year. This didn’t stop us all going in for a dip 3 times a day. There is also a very nice play area for the kids at the top of the resort. The gardens are beautifully tended, with some eye catching sculpures dotted about among the palms and hibiscus trees.

The beach is a short walk away and we enjoyed our evening palm tree lined promenades to the restaurants very much. There is a great choice for places to eat in Matagorda or you can get even more choice in Puerto del Carmen which is a good walk or 5 minutes in a taxi.

If you want more of a party atmosphere then Puerto del Carmen is the place for you.

Nautilus is a lovely quiet resort perfect for families with kids. Very friendly and helpful staff. There is an excellently stocked supermarket on site.
We have just returned last night and are already talking about booking a bungalow again at Nautilus for next New Year!

Top tips:
Bring some long trousers and a few jumpers, as the evenings can get a bit cold.

Families with small children - There are very few English speaking TV channels but I found Disney on Channel 66, which had Disney Junior in the mornings. This can buy parents some precious extra dozing time!

Don’t bother with a bus transfer from the airport, as it is a short journey by taxi to Matagorda, which is much cheaper and more convenient.

If you can get out in a hire car, Lanzarote is a great place to explore. Set off early to get to the tourist sites before the bus tours arrive. It can get really busy after 11am. Check out Cesar Manrique’s House and the Timanfaya lava fields. Haria is a highlight too.

This is our third time staying at Nautilus we stayed for 4 weeks from 10th of december to the 7th of January. We have never had any problems while staying there. The staff are all very frendly and very helpful if you need anything or have a query they always sort it out for you. the apartments are very well kept and clean. There is everything you need in the kitchen if you stay in at night you can make yourself a meal because it has a full kitchen. The gardens are kept very neat and tidy. There are books you can swop which are kept in a tidy order. It is also handy that they have a washer and dryer if you go out for a long time it is nice to be able to wash and dry your clothes on site. It has always been quite and peaceful whenever we have stayed there. A great place just to relax. We would recomend nautilus to anyone and everyone. it is 5 mins walk to the beach and shopping center although nautilus has a supermarket on site which we found very good and the staff in the shop are always frendly and helpful.

I shared a bungalow with a friend for 2 weeks and really enjoyed the holiday. Scrupulously clean place with manicured gardens and our own patio. Staff were friendly welcoming and very accommodating offering late checkout as soon as they saw we were booked on an evening flight home. It was very quiet and with a super swimming pool. Beach and restaurants 5 minutes away. We were delighted. Full marks as well for environmentally friendly efforts. Not a place for a wild social life but ideal if you want peace and quiet.
