My friends & I have just spent a very pleasant holiday in these apartments. We had a two bedroom apartment right next to the pool.
The apartment was basic, spacious & clean & very well equipped. Two ringed hob, coffee maker, fridge with small freezer space & plenty of kitchen equipment should you wish to cook in. There were plenty of towels, & the maids had made swans out of a couple of them!
The complex is right on the seafront of Puerto del Carmen, & although there is no pool bar, the Rocas Blancas Cafe is right outside the complex on the pavement with plenty of seating & sun umbrellas. Prices were very reasonable & takeaways were available. …

Finally arrived here a day late having been snowed in at Manchester during recent snow problems.
On arrival was told by most unhelpful receptionist that as we hadn’t informed them we would be late they had cancelled our booking! Told him as I had a heart problem (angina) I did not find this amusing at all. He found us a room on third floor, marvelous. …

Just returned from Sands Beach. I can only rate this complex at five star; excellent accommodation & food.
Nice area & location, lots to do! The supermarket on site was great, as well as the staff, would visit again, but must give a very special mention to Rosemary, the Cosmos rep who was the most helpful & caring rep one could possibly ask for. She went out of her way to help us & even followed up by texting us when we arrived home.
Very worthwhile package holiday! We will visit again just to see Rosemary, & her company can only be justly proud of her.

Stayed for one week in October half term. Arrived late evening – given wrist bands & directed towards the restaurant so we could eat – all very efficient. The room was the usual you find abroad but there was plenty of clothes space & the bathroom was lovely – very modern.
Met the in-laws there (70th birthday), they had emailed ahead & requested a room in the main bit – we ended up next to them – it was a great location – near to bar! However, the ‘other side’ looked nice also. …

Stayed here last year, thought it would be a cheap & cheerful package holiday, paid extra for all inclusive thinking it would save us money, but how I was wrong!
Food was like slop, very basic, but no fresh fruit/veg/ worse than school dinners! We tried to eat in as paid for meals, but food was so disgusting we ended up eating out almost every night, which was quite expensive. Also we are sure alcohol was watered down at the hotel. …

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.
