We do not have enough good things to say about our stay at Buenavista suites!…read moreGonzalo was the most lovely and accommodating host. Each suite is designed thoughtfully to reuse materials (the property was an old abandoned warehouse) in a way that is industrial and incredibly chic. The bed was incredibly comfortable and we appreciated the small touches like local robes and high quality blankets. Each morning we took a delicious homemade breakfast that showcased local fruits. The location was perfect for touring La Geria and the local wineries, which was the focus of our visit to the island, but the central location would also be perfect for adventurers who want to explore any part of the island without extensive drive times. Gonzalo was even kind enough to give us an impromptu tour of his small vineyard and hobby winery when we expressed interest! We will stay nowhere else when we return to Lanzarote.

We had a lovely stay at villa number 8 of Lanzarote Green Villas…read more There was a really nice welcome basket of goodies left for us upon our arrival. A very pleasant surprise. The pool, while small was all our own and ideal for cooling off in. There was four sun loungers, again all our own, which did not need a towel put on for reserving early in the morning. There was a permanent BBQ for us to use with a set of outdoor table and chairs. The living area and kitchen were great, nice cooker and fridge. Sofas very comfortable. Flat screen TV, which were able to play movies on from our laptop, as we brought a HDMI cable with us. Water pressure in the shower was pretty impressive, in fact too powerful if you turned it up too high. Bath was nice too, I used that more. Great free WiFi. Reliable and strong. Doesn't reach some rooms upstairs, but still delighted with it all the same. Location was good for Playa Blanca, but you would need a car to get to places. Or else you would spend a fair amount of time walking to places. There is a shop and some restaurants within walking distance. A few cons: noisy neighbours. A very noisy bed mattress! Stairs were easy to trip on in the beginning, until gotten used to. I would recommend Lanzarote Green Villas, good value.

La Casona de Yaiza is a very nice boutique hotel on inland Lanzarote…read more The building and surrounding complex is fabulous. I especially liked the wonderful flowering shrub that makes a beautiful tunnel at one side of the building. Te courtyard outside the reception office and dining room was also a pleasant spot to sit in. The courtyard was kept spotlessly clean. The room was cool, despite having no air-con. The bed was comfortable and the flat screen TV enabled us to watch TV and movies on our laptop (we brought the HDMI cable ourselves). There is WiFi too, which was available near reception and the dining room. The pool offered welcome break from the hot hot sun, especially after a day hike or a bike ride in the surrounding area. The breakfast buffet was quite good, a fine array of food to chose from. Dinner in their restaurant was nice, but the wine was quite expensive, by Lanzarote standards. It was lovely wine, but 21 EUR. The manager was a very nice guy to deal with. The waiter, a little odd, but was always paying attention to his diners. There are few things that make this review a four star instead of a five star: The lack of storage in the room. There was very little storage and one chest of drawers (which was in the bathroom) only had one drawer with a working handle. The lack of light in the bathroom. We could open the shutter, but the window was right by the courtyard and generally there was someone out there that could see in. The lack of staff at times, once when we arrived to check in and then during the day at the bar. But still overall a nice experience here upon our arrival to Lanzarote at La Casona de Yaiza.

Costa Sal is a very nice hotel in Puerto Del Carmen. The apartments are well equipped, the…read morerestaurant is modern and has a nice menu, the reception is quite friendly. The hotel is located about a five minute walk to the sea and very near a shopping center with about five or six restaurants and two small markets. This is a well run hotel hotel managed by a staff who obviously cares about their image and reputation, so they do their best to keep their guests satisfied. A few things to consider. We stayed at a hotel near the port just prior to arriving at the Costa Sal and it seemed to us that the port area was less windy. This may be wrong, but we did not notice the wind so much before. Also the rooms did not have heat. We were there in the winter and some of the nights were cool. You can rent a portable heater and this may resolve the situation. The hotel is located very near the airport, but we did not hear the airplanes. This was not an issue for us. In fact, one evening my son and I walked to the airport and enjoyed watching the airplanes take off and land. So, the proximity to the airport was actually a plus for us rather than a minus. The Costa Sal was really very nice overall and I hope we will return.

I have been returning to the Hesperia Puerto Calero since my first visit in 2007…read more It's got some great suites and a lot of parking spaces. The breakfast buffet is boring after a few days and I don't even bother with the main meal buffet which I find bland and unappetising. Servers in the breakfast room are polite and friendly but bar staff could not be less bothered. A request for an ice bucket will see you sent back to your room to call room service. There is no ice bucket in the room and no ice machine available to guests. The pools are nice places to hang out in the winter but from the end of May are surrounded by people on all inclusive package trips. The spa is lovely and I recommend their spa pass which you need to get on arrival. It's sold as a special offer and has been on all of my 9 visits here. Unfortunately there is a lack of spa etiquette with a lot of guests not showering before using the main pool on arrival or after using the sauna or steam bath. The staff are not interested in asking people to wash. Room servicing happens throughout the day, rarely (in my experience) in the morning, usually between 2pm and 5pm. There is a turndown service that happens within an hour of the room being made up. And as another reviewer has pointed out, there is no toilet brush available. I think the hotel awarded itself 5 stars. Unfortunately there is nowhere better around here... I just wish they would sort out there silly little issues

Stayed here 25/0915 for a week. It was €718 for 2 including breakfast on a deal. The hotel is…read morebeautiful and the area is gorgeous , just a 2 or 3 minute walk from the dock where the yachts are parked up and there is a small strip of shops and a number of small restaurants and bars which are great for cocktails. This area is a little more expensive than the main strip but worth it. It's a 10 min drive from the main strip and €7 in a taxi. The reason it's only getting 3 stars, 1: we booked as a young couple and got a family room in the family wing, with teddy bears and a tent in our room ( great for a family, mood killer for a romantic holiday), 2: when we asked to change the room the staff were rude and annoyed and they kept this attitude with us throughout the week! 3: the staff at the pool bar have no interest in working ( not just me loads of guests commented) 4: my boyfriend ended up in hospital and on the last day I rang to say that we might be late checking out because we were waiting to on the doctor, the person on the phone was not impressed and wanted us gone straight away, I asked to pay for late checkout and was told no. So great area nice hotel but staff are awful

Great place to stay on Fuerteventura. Built in a short distance from Corralejo, villas are…read moresurrounding a small golf course. Neat, clean, modern. Each villa includes a parking space, private pool (some are heated) and a terrace with barbecue. The spacious interior and a well equipped kitchen (stove, fridge, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker, microwave ...) - the perfect place for a longer stay. Although we stayed at this place only for four days, it was great. Perfect place on the island - approx. 40 min drive from the airport, 10 minutes to the port of Corralejo or dunes. The only problem is wifi - internet did not work at all - we were informed that they are exchanging devices, but apparently they say it to everyone for almost a year.

If you like sunshine, surfing and hate rainy days, this Island is already everything you need. If…read moreyou also want a 5 star luxury hotel with multiple swimmingpools and restaurants, spa, fitness studio and some great hotel rooms, the Atlantis Bahia Real is your choice ... also because it is also the only 5 star hotel around here. But make no mistake, the entrace area is plastered with consequent hotel and experience awards. The service is everything you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Most rooms have a sea view, although the are some with view of the pool area or the street. There are also family suites, so there will be children at the pool area. The Spa area is for adults only. There also is a large stretch of beach just at the hotel with a chill out lounge bar and a bistro bar belonging to the hotel. The beach itself is public.

We went in early September from rainy England. Totally in need of sun and relaxation, we were…read morehoping for a lovely resort. And we found it. We ended up in an ocean facing junior suite that was also very close to the entrance to the pool area and buffet. PERFECTION. The suite: 1. The view was lovely. Gorgeous. 2. Comfy couch to sit on while my husband was napping or showering or doing his own thing. 3. Very comfy and HUGE bed with nice linens. 4. Bathroom shower was so wonderful and strong. We seriously took two to three showers a day (it might be because our current shower is awful). 5. Bathroom products were lovely. 6. High ceilings, great light, wonderful closets, etc. I can't think of a negative thing about the suite. Pool: There are three pools. One is for little kiddos. Very cute. As there weren't a lot of little ones around at this time it was quite quiet. The second is a larger pool which appeared to be slightly salty and colder than the third pool. Very refreshing after heating up in the sun. Third pool was cool but comfortable and a nice size. There were plenty of seating areas around the pool at this time, though I can imagine it could get packed at the height of the season. Breakfast buffet: Amazing choice. You can get omelettes cooked to your own specification or choose so many other types of meals. And free prosecco was flowing. Yes, I took advantage! I felt like I never ran out of a different sort of food to eat every day. Dinner: We chose not to go half-board, but did go to one of the dinner buffets. It was lovely. Like the breakfast buffet there was a huge amount of choice and the food was quite good. You did have to pay separately for wine (even if you were on the 'meal plan') from what I could tell, but the meal itself was not a bad price for what you got. We also went to one of the speciality restaurants, Las Columnas, which is the Spanish restaurant. We had the 8 course tasting menu. It was very special and I'd recommend it. The Spa: We spent a lot of time at the spa. You get to go for free once a day and we did. We spent a lot of time in the indoor pool where there are bubbling and spraying things that just relax your body and shoulders. There are saunas, hot tubs, etc. You can also arrange and pay for things such as massages & manicures. We both got a massage and it was one of the best we've had. Not inexpensive, but worth it (London prices for sure). The only downside to the entire place was the beach - not really meant as a place to swim, but it's good for relaxation. You can get a drink delivered to your chair, which is a nice touch. We choose instead to head south to other beaches via bike (though you could easily walk). So, there it is. My review. Go there. Definitely. Go. And relax!

I have been coming to Lanzarote since 1985 and Ocean Club Holidays' Villa Venus is probably the…read morenicest place I have stayed. It is such a relaxing place to come and get away from it all. It's situated in a quiet cul de sac, 20 mins walk down to the sea front, or the old town and a 3 euro taxi back. It's a 3 bed (one double, 2 twin) , 2 bath single story detached villa with private heated pool on the northern slopes of Puerto del Carmen. 5 minutes walk to the nearest supermarket or 10 minutes to the Club Oceano bar (owned by the same UK company) Maid and cleaner service 3 times a week with the pool cleaned twice a week. The villa has a south facing terrace with all day sunshine and a great pool for the children to splash in and adults to cool down. Only negative point is that the tv didn't really work (but you don't come on holiday to watch tv) and the barbecue was a bit smokey since the chimney is just ornamental ! However these are just two small niggles in a place that's brilliant to come to with family and/or friends. So much so that my younger daughter just told me that she never wants to come anywhere else on holiday!
