Aquarius Aparthotel – Puerto Del Carmen – Lanzarote

The Aquarius hotel’s main attraction is it’s location. Close to a good selection of evening entertainment, live music etc. It overlooks the harbour. You won’t starve at the Aquarius (especially if you liked school dinners!).

Housekeeping do a good job of changing the sheets, loo rolls etc. but they need to work harder on cleanliness. We returned from the pub to find cockroaches in our room on a couple of occasions. The staff take a rather casual attitude to this problem. We did notice an aerosol of insecticide under the sink when we arrived & had to use most of it. Lanzarote, i’m told, has an issue with them at present.

There is a lot of road / drainage work around the town at present (May 09). If you want to walk to the beach during the day it is about a 15 minute walk – lovely beach sunbeds & shade for 8 euros. Don’t bother with the three hour glass bottom boat trip – it was rubbish, instead walk along the coastal path (about three miles) & get the water taxi back.
