We have recently returned from a week away stay here. We paid for half board and found the resort to be good quality and reasonable for the price we paid. They are currently undertaking refurbishments and installing air conditioning in the upgrade. Our apartment was on the ground floor, to the side of the property layout. Unfortunately overlooking a derelict building (poss hotel judging by the size of it), however this was shielded with plants and green temporary screening. It was the quieter side of the resort. The apartment was fairly equipped with a kettle, toaster, microwave and hot plate. I would struggle to cook here if it was self catering due to the lack of equipment available. Cleaning and towels replaced daily, with the exception on Wednesday and Sundays. We had a few ants in the apartment but nothing that storing all food and drink in the fridge to help combat, was a very minor irritant. The bathroom was equipped with a walk in shower. A couple of the plug sockets were loose and one has some wiring exposed, let reception know when we were leaving, not an issue for us as adults but would not be happy if children could access. There is a sofa bed in the lounge and a tv and coffee table. The bedding and towels were not of the best quality. There are no towels available by the pool so make sure you bring some from home. Reception warm welcome and information re local tours etc.. they also called a cab for us for the Sunday market, cost us €22 and we got a bus for €5 on the way back, get to the market early as was so busy. Breakfast was your standard hot cooked and continental offering, fresh fruit available daily. The evening meals were varied and had choices suitable for what we had paid for half board, the cost of drinks was reasonable. The staff were attentive and friendly. We used the outside swimming pool, very cold but would be a lovely dip in the summer months, there is an indoor pool, looked good we didn’t use it. The gym was well equipped with plenty of free weights and machinery, there was also a few classes advertised, unsure if this attracted an additional rate. Have included photos for layout and also pricing for the drinks. Hotel is 18-20 mins from the centre, there is a nice beach walk that takes a few mins longer to the centre of the resort with the beach. The nearest bus stop is Playa Roca (to the right of the hotel as you exit) or Playa Bastain (to the left of the hotel as you exit). We went to Puerto del Carmen on the inter city bus, plenty of signs and info. Lots to do there, we stopped in Areciffe (I wouldn’t bother not much there). We did a buggy tour 3 hours €180 good day out and the island tourer trip 9 hours €120 well worth it. Overall we enjoyed the break as we have not been to Lanzarote before. Would we return, probably not, just not our thing as too many Brit’s about and hard to try and get an authentic experience. (Appreciate the irony as a Brit myself). We went with Jet2 and had a good break. Ple
