Oasis Lanz Beach Mate

Oasis Lanz Beach Mate is a resort-style hotel in Teguise, built around gardens, terraces and swimming pools rather than a formal city-hotel routine. With 164 rooms across three floors, it has the scale to work for solo travellers, couples and families, while still keeping the useful basics close at hand.

English, Spanish, German and French are spoken by the hotel team, so you can deal with the practicalities in a language that suits you. That matters when the day has involved salt water, tired legs and a question about tomorrow's breakfast rather than a desire to practise your Spanish.

The atmosphere is geared towards an easy holiday: a pool, a bar, a restaurant, outdoor space and a few simple ways to stay active. You can make as much or as little of the facilities as you like.

The hotel is in Teguise, at Avenida del Jablillo, 5, in the Costa Teguise area of Lanzarote. It sits near the beach, with Playa del Jablillo, Playa Bastián and Las Cucharas Beach among the nearby places to explore.

This is a useful setting if you want the sea and local walks within reach without staying in the middle of a city. The surrounding area also gives you room to get out and see more of the island, whether you hire a car or use the hotel's vehicle-hire and excursion assistance services.

Parking is available for guests, and an electric vehicle charging station is part of the facilities. The address is straightforward for a sat-nav, which is the sort of small victory that becomes more valuable when you arrive with luggage and no patience left for unnecessary wandering.

The room choice is unusually broad, from single and double rooms to family accommodation, suites and apartments. That gives you a genuine decision to make rather than the usual exercise of choosing between two versions of the same box: a compact room for a straightforward base, or a larger layout when you want more separation and a little more room around your bags.

For a couple, the double rooms with a balcony, pool view or sea view are the natural short-list. Some categories add air conditioning, blackout blinds, a desk, Wi-Fi, a minibar and tea or coffee facilities, while the more self-contained options bring a kitchen or kitchenette arrangement, fridge and microwave. A one-bedroom apartment with a balcony is the useful choice if you prefer to keep breakfast or a late snack flexible.

Several room categories have balconies, and private bathrooms with a shower are part of the accommodation range. Air conditioning is available in selected rooms, as are TVs, safes, hairdryers and toiletries. The sensible check before booking is to compare the exact room card rather than assume that every category carries the same kit; this is a sizeable accommodation list, not a single standard template wearing different names.

Breakfast is served as a buffet from 08:00 to 10:30, giving you a useful window for an unhurried start or an early departure. The main restaurant also serves dinner, with a live-cooking area where meat, fish and hot and cold dishes are prepared in front of you.

Dinner runs from 19:00 to 21:30. The chefs offer a different proposal each evening, so the meal has a little more going for it than simply being the nearest available plate when you come back hungry.

There is one named bar, Bar Piscina, beside the pool. It serves snacks and natural smoothies, which covers the useful gap between lunch and dinner without pretending that a smoothie is a full meal after a long day. A café and snack bar are also part of the hotel's food and drink facilities, while the exact meal arrangement depends on the booking selected.

The pool area is the main place to switch off, with four pools in total: two for children and two heated outdoor pools for adults. Sun loungers, gardens and palm trees surround the water, and pool and beach towels are available. For a couple, that creates an easy low-effort afternoon: find a lounger, let the legs recover and avoid making any heroic plans.

If sitting still becomes too ambitious, the hotel has a gym, a tennis court, table tennis, billiards and darts. Bicycle hire gives you another way to explore the island without turning every outing into a car journey, while the garden, terrace, library and solarium terrace provide quieter alternatives to the pool area.

Families have a children's pool, a play area and a games room. The hotel can also help arrange excursions, so you can build in an island day without having to research every detail from the edge of the pool. Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel for the inevitable checking of weather, maps and messages.

Check-in runs from 15:00 to midnight, with check-out by 12:00. A 24-hour reception, luggage storage, wake-up service and a safe are available, which is useful if your travel timings do not line up neatly with hotel time.

Airport transfers are available, and shuttle services can be arranged through the hotel. Vehicle hire is also available, while the excursion service can help organise outings. Parking is available on site, with additional parking nearby, and the property has facilities for wheelchair access.

Laundry, currency exchange, ticket assistance and a first-aid kit are among the practical services. Free Wi-Fi covers the hotel, and the rooms may include air conditioning, a minibar, shower, television and toiletries depending on the category. Visa, Mastercard and cash are accepted.

An electric vehicle charging station is available on site, giving drivers with an electric car a practical option during their stay.
