Pueblo Marinero Apartments – Playa Blanca – Lanzarote

My partner & I stayed here in October 09. This was our 1st time in Lanzarote & we certainly chose well. First the positive. We had a lovely apartment (room 216) overlooking the pool, which caught the sun beautifully as the sun came up. Room was cleaned & sheets were changed regularly. Nice big apartment with separate living area to bedroom & a reasonable bathroom & kitchenette area, two rings, full fridge, kettle toaster etc.

Staff were polite with a ‘Hola’ each morning. Antonio the ‘Animation’ guy was great constantly talking to people round the pool & trying to get people involved with gentle exercise or water polo. Negatives: pool was a little battered with some tiny tiles coming off but still OK. Parents let there kids play in the jacuzzi which meant it was filthy most of the time even though they cleaned it almost daily.

It rained on the last day & as no one moped this up, I slipped & fell down a flight of concrete stairs, which I would have accepted as my fault if my partner had not pointed out the hazard half an hour before & nothing was done about it for two hours after! Oh dear! There’s a dive school nearby who were great & I highly recommend to any divers out there. I would definitely return & plan to book for next year’s package holiday.
