Checkin Diamar
Sea-view rooms and two restaurants above Reducto beach
About this hotel
Checkin Diamar overlooks the sandy Reducto beach in Arrecife, capital of Lanzarote, and it is one of only a handful of addresses on the island where a three-star room can face the sea from a city street. Rooms are air conditioned with satellite television, and the private bathrooms come with a bath and a hairdryer; some rooms carry a sea view. Two restaurants, a bar and a breakfast buffet cover the eating, and there is a terrace and a meeting room as well as family rooms and facilities for guests with reduced mobility. The centre begins outside, with shops, bars and restaurants within five minutes on foot and the Charco de San Gines lagoon about ten. Lanzarote Airport and the Arrecife ferry port are both five kilometres away.

- Family rooms and accessible facilities
Our take
I recommend Checkin Diamar to travellers who want a straightforward three-star on Reducto beach, with the shops and promenade of Arrecife close by. Sea-view rooms, two restaurants, a terrace and family rooms cover most needs, and a score of 8.0 from 1,600 reviews is fair for the category. Ask for a sea-facing room, as not all have one. If you want a resort with pools, the tourist areas of the island will suit you better.
- ✓Ask for a sea-view room high up, the ones facing the city side lose the whole point of this location.
- ✓Walk to the Charco de San Gines for dinner, ten minutes on foot and far better fish than the beach strip.
- ✓Visit in spring or autumn for warm water and empty sand, February brings the Carnaval de Arrecife crowds.
Why we love it
- Rooms looking straight out over Reducto beach
- Two restaurants and a breakfast buffet on site
- Ten minutes on foot to the Charco lagoon
- Family rooms and facilities for reduced mobility
Why guests love itI would choose Checkin Diamar for a family stay in Arrecife when the beach should be the first thing you see. The hotel overlooks Reducto beach in the centre of Lanzarote's capital, and some rooms face the sea. Family rooms are available, bathrooms have a bath, which helps at bedtime, and the breakfast buffet starts the day without fuss. Two restaurants, a bar and a terrace mean dinner can stay on site. It is a simple three-star without a pool.
