Clean but!!
Staff are very friendly and the hotel is very clean, but can be very noisy if you are a light sleeper, ask for a top floor room so not to have people walking around above

Brilliant stay
Had a fantastic time. The room was fairly basic but regularly cleaned and we had a great view of the pool. Did not try the food, but with so many great restaurants nearby we were glad we did not go all inclusive. For the price the hotel was amazing. Easily as good as ones twice the price. I also recommend walking along the front to the restaurants. In particular the Camel restaurant deserves a mention. The food is is well priced and the fillet steak was one of the best I have had anywhere in the world.

It was ok for a short break
We had a nice short break and think the hotel was worth what we paid. This was probably down to us getting a pool view balcony room, of which here are only 26 in the whole hotel. This is definitely not a 4 star hotel as per he “official” rating and not convinced it’s a 3 star either. The fixtures and fittings are very tired, crockery chipped, bed covers stained, number rubbed off induction hob so you’ve no idea if it’s on high/low/not on at all etc, and facilities limited ie no oven in the room, only tiny tea cups no coffee mugs, only 2 glasses but 4 of everything else, no plugs for the kitchen or bathroom sinks. The rooms were only cleaned every other day which wasn’t a problem cleaning wise, but would have liked fresh towels daily. Some staff were friendly, some weren’t, but no one was rude which is good. The pool was big and there were more than enough sun beds but we did travel in May and not in school holidays.

Great location
A lovely clean and friendly hotel right at the marine. In close proximity to supermarket and shopping centre. ( less than 5 mins walking). Had a gym and tennis courts, great staff who are polite and helpful. The marina rubicon is a 5 min walk and has some great boutique shops and great places to eat looking out over the marina. The whole place has a really relaxed atmosphere. Can’t wait to return

Rubimar Suites Winter Sun.
Self catering, so didn`t use bar/ restaurant. Best facility for us was indoor heated pool. Outdoor pool cold but pool area great. Plenty sun beds,lifeguard on duty. Location right on marina. Pleasant half hour walk into Playa Blanca.Very good Supermarket and coffee shop 100 metres away. Not handy for either resort bus or,other destinations on island. Would recommend Rubimar for a relaxing winter week.

Great location right by the marina
Most of the balconies are designed for the maximum amount of sun for most if not all of the daytime hours. The nearest hyperdino supermarket was within 50 metres. The nearest beach was about a 15 minute walk but the walk being via the promenade on the seafront. Great friendly staff, big 1 bed apartment with 2 TVs if wanted. The marina with numerous shops and small local bars was straight in front of the apartments and less than a minute to walk to. Would go again!

Last minute booking!
We booked this hotel whilst in playa blanca, on the whole very pleased with the hotel. Good location, right by the marine. Friendly staff, very family friendly. Clean pool. Rooms were clean, but need some updating. An issue with the freezer but was fixed. The restaurant was a bit bland, had room for improvements. Had such a lovely stay and with a few updates and refreshing to the hotel we would definitely return.

Excellent well situated hotel
Very impressed with this well situated hotel. Our apartment was enormous, and very clean and comfortable. The pool was a very good size and warm too. Situated directly next to the marina, and only a 5-10 minute walk to the beach, I would highly recommend this hotel. We stayed fully inclusive and the food was excellent, plenty of choice at all meal times. The bar staff were friendly and helpful, making this a great family choice.

Near the Marina
Staff very friendly, pool very large. The apartment was a very good size. Local are was near to the marina. It was about 20 - 25 pleasant walk into the main town, but marina area was about 5 minutes walk, it had about 10 - 12 restaurants/bars, supermarkets also in this area.

Nice hotel close to Playa Blanca.
The staff were lovely. One of the cleaners even made a little elephant out of flannels for our little boy which was a lovely touch! the hotel was close to the beach. The food was lovely. The building needs a little work but it was a pleasant stay and we would definitely stay there again.

Pleasant hotel with reasonable access
The hotel catered for our needs we did not make full use of the amenities as we had limited time at the resort. The only thing that was annoying was the fact that even though we had a flyer put through the door access to the sun beds was impossible as towels were placed and left with them left vacant for hours while people left the hotel and did shopping sight seeing etc..We usually managed to get one about 5 o clock in the late afternoon.

Excellent location for Playa Blanca amenities
This hotel is in the up market part of the area by the modern Marina development and just off the coastal path that will take you to the Papagayo beaches or to the centre of Playa Blanca. We did not use the hotel restaurant as it is so close to all the restaurants and bars in the marina and the sea front. The balconies were perfect for chilling at the end of the day watching the sun go down. This is a good choice if you want a reasonable priced hotel in the 'posh' part of Playa Blanca and prime position for beach and the town.

With a refresh/refurb this hotel would be worthy of its 4* rating. In its current condition it's probably not even 3*.

In need of serious investment
Very disappointed by this place. NOT 4 star. 2-3 more appropriate. Only plus side is location and nice staff. Rooms looking very dated and sparse equipment for apartment, the plastic mattress coverings on the bedding uncomfortable too. Have to pay a deposit for everything including tv remote control! The indoor pool - a reason why we booked has been broken for weeks, despite the staff saying it will be fixed tomorrow! outdoor pools freezing too. They seem to be cutting costs at the expense of guest enjoyment. other local hotels like the Hesperia and Princess Yazia much better.

chilled week in lanzarote
lanzarote is my favourite canary island it has enough to do but nothing happens too quickly.the roads are a joy to drive on,fuel is cheap[ near 60p l] and the exchange rate at the moment makes everything reasonable.for me playa blanca is the best place to stay with its lovely marina, shops and bars but still very low key ..there are a few interesting places to visit,this time we did the fire mountain and the caves in the north .The volcanic scenery when out on the roads is quite unique and quickly gives you an idea of the force of nature and looking on the expedia website for feb 2016,i can go back for just over £200 in the hotel rubimar inc flights ..it would be rude not to

Exceeded expectations in every way
Despite having arrived in Reception to find some women complaining loudly about their room, we were delighted with everything about this inexpensive hotel. The staff couldn't be more helpful, and food was tasty and varied. Very close to the well presented Marina and its restaurants, shops and market. Only downside would be lack of coffee facilities before 8am. Also the pool jacuzzi and inside spa could be much warmer!

Bit bland
Hotel itself was nice - rooms very spacious, indoor pool was a great bonus. Can't imagine how anyone would self cater with the minimal crockery/cutlery but I suppose the main focus was on all inclusive. Food was okay but did become very repetitive over the space of a week. Main beds were comfortable enough in rooms but fold out sofa bed was a disaster with my kids pulling mattress off same and sleeping on the floor. Main gripe with hotel was lack of atmosphere and a very poor entertainment program. The same girl was responsible for entertaining kids by day and everyone by night. The evening entertainment consisted of a kids disco followed by either bingo or a quiz both of which were difficult for the english speaking guests to understand. One night there was a bird of prey show and another a reptile show but these lasted maybe 20 mins and after that it was basically drink up and off to bed!!

Large apartments for two right next to Port Rubicon with its shops,bowling alley,gallery etc. This is at the eastern end of Playa Blanca about 2km from the ferry port and bus station.Large bath and every thing you need to cook.Pay a deposit for TV and A/C. Would certainly go back.Only gripe was sheets too small to tuck in,but beds were huge.

Super hotel with lovely pools in great location
Room was comfortable and great with 2 small kids. Indoor pool as warm as a bath. Fantastic staff - cleaners came most days and made fun animals out of the towels for the kids. There was a complimentary bottle of cava waiting for the adults on arrival too. Marina was a bit classier as an area than some resorts but still had children's menus at all the eateries. Really convenient for excellent papagayo beaches but only with a vehicle. Kitchen basic but sufficient. Thoroughly recommend.

Disappointing
When we arrived, we were told our room was difficult to find and had no number on the door! No-one offered to show us - we tried, but were unable to locate it. So I went back to reception and asked for directions again; I thought someone was going to show us the way, but NO! After some time and working it out, we managed to find our room. Thankfully, we only stayed one night. Not exactly luxurious!

As a family of 4 we wanted an apartment as a reasonable base and the hotel served well. Positives - staff at desk are great and the animation guy worked hard. The gym is pretty good too. The location being next to the marina is perfect Negatives - the rooms are tired, cleaning is sporadic. This is not a 4star in any way but it is cheap, functional and close to everything you need.

Nice hotel close to Marina.
Think you get what you pay for at this hotel / def not five star tho. Pleased that we didn't include dinner or breakfast option as this gave us choice eating out and about and other guests didn't rate the food being served. Room was spacious and regularly cleaned (we did have to chase having towels changed). Hotel is just a bit tired and dated - needs a good revamp really, although this didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves.

Local area expensive but 20 mins down the road you will be in the centre and prices are reasonable don't go if self catering, cleaning very poor and you cant clean yourself as there is not so much as a dishcloth provided, ended up moving to another hotel and taking a loss, how this place has a four star rating is beyond me. Try the buffet at the Japanese in the shopping centre next door, great value and great food.

self catering
Had a nice stay at the Rubimar. Very quite area but close to other areas a little more lively if that's what you want. Supermarket across the road but there are plenty around which was a concern to us before we went but turned out OK. We were self catering and thought that the apartment needed more assortment of cooking pans but we did manage to get a large frying pan from reception as the one we had was only big enough for 1 egg, also hair dryer was missing but again reception organized it straight away. The out door pool was cold so we used the indoor pool which was fine but there were no rules for the use of the pool so younger ones disrupted our swim by continually jumping in and throwing balls about, I must say they were not from our neck of the woods but were with adults who seemed to let them do what they want so rules are needed, in fact this is the first hotel we've been to without them. The beach was very close and it was a great place to snorkel, clear and plenty of fish. We will certainly return to this area again.

Nice area, close to good restaurants
A lovely spacious apartment with a balcony. Very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. If I was going here again I would recommend a 2nd level apartment. The hotel itself has an excellent pool and has a restaurant serving breakfast and buffet dinner. There is an excellent well stocked supermarket about 3minutes walk away. There are plenty of restaurants in Rubicon Marina but they are pricey by Lanzarote standards apart from the tapas bar which is good value, the blue one one waterfront. You are better off to go back into Playa Blanca approx 15 minutes walk if you wish to dine out. The only recommendation that I would make to the owners of Rubimar Hotel is that they would provide a kettle and teapot in the apartment but overall, excellent.

Lovely and very spacious 2-bed apt
Nice, clean hotel. We holidayed at a quiet time, so we virtually had the pool to ourselves, although exceptionally cool weather made it only for the brave. We had a problem with operating the safety box in the room and the receptionist tried her best to fix it on the Sunday evening :-) . The engineer came next morning to fix it! Lovely and very spacious 2-bed apt. would particularly recommend to family (2+2)

Huge apartment, lovely area
Huge 2 bedroom apartment but the 2nd bedroom had no wardrobes in -- seemed a bit odd as plenty of room for them? Cleanliness of the room and the hotel in general was very good. Plenty of sunbeds but they needed updating and particularly for a 4* felt they were not really upto standard. Did have a coffee one day at the bar and couldn't drink it, was offered a replacement but sorry was no chance I was going there again!! Was told by some other guests to avoid the food -- it was never our intention to eat at the hotel -- so can't pass a comment as never tried it. Fab location 2 mins walk into the marina with some shops and some very nice restaurants. Lovely and clean place a good 15 min walk to centre of Playa Blanca but easy as the promenade is beautifully done and maintained. La Petite Marmite at the far end near start of harbour wall for a great breakfast and brill staff. Harbour bar - got lighthouse on top - for a glass of Cava, fab views and nice atmosphere. Tapas Bar right on the front was our favourite at night can't remember the name though brill food, staff, sangria and view.

struttura
Hotel confortevole ma che ha margini di miglioramento attraverso alcuni lavori di manutenzione. Buono per le famiglie con figli piccoli. WiFi solo alla reception è un limite; consigliabile anche negli appartamenti e gratis (non a pagamento) Distante un Km abbondante sia dalla spiaggia più vicina che dalle attrazioni/movida. La località di Costa Blanca è bella e funzionale per muoversi verso altri siti: ad esempio la bellissima Play del Papagayo raggiungibile con auto (attraverso strada bianca).

El apartamento bien, amplio. Aunque la mesa para comer de madera y ya bastante deteriorada. Nada de productos de limpieza, ni una triste esponja. Llegamos a las 3 de la madrugada, habiendo avisado, no tuvieron ni un triste detalle por ello, pagamos como si hubiéramos entrado a la de 15h... Encima en recepción tienen a una chica externa al hotel por la noche, majisima, pero que no podía explicarnos nada. Al día siguiente me acerco en recepción para terminar el check in y decir q no tenemos información de nada y no explicaron nada de nada. Cuando nos íbamos encima les escucho q explican a otra familia donde están las diferentes instalaciones, los servicios que tienen etc...feísimo el detalle con nosotros. No sé si volvería la verdad

Instalaciones deficientes a precios exagerados.
El hotel, aunque está bastante bien ubicado y el personal es muy amable, presenta un estado de conservación deficiente (la mayoría de las paredes de las zonas comunes necesitan pintura o encalado, la encimera del comedor tenía desconchados, el grifo de la bañera estaba descascarillado, la bañera tenía manchas de oxidación...). La limpieza era bastante mejorable, y el aspecto general del hotel era de descuido. El precio por noche de un hotel con este aspecto y estas condiciones es complementamente desproporcionado. Son precios de un resort moderno de 4 estellas por unos apartamentos modestos típicos de zona turísticas masificadas.

Bien placé pour rayonner en voiture dans la partie sud de l'ile (découvrir le parc des volcans, la route des vins, la dégustation dans les bodégas). La plage de sable noir et très sauvage pas urbanisée (par chance) de Quemanda n'est qu'à quelques kms ainsi que le point de vue sur la lagune verte à El Golfo.
