We came for a relaxing chilled out one week package holiday in the sun & that is exactly what we had. The apartments are spacious & decorated nicely. Bathroom was of an acceptable standard although the hot water is scalding & only one small towel each.
We received a free breakfast on the first morning to tempt you to upgrade to All-Inclusive but it was awful & no butter for our toast so we didn’t bother. Well equipped kitchen facilities in the room enable you to make breakfast/lunch easy enough so had those in the room instead.
Pool area kept clean although some sunbeds were a bit dodgy, cracked or broken, so you had to be careful there. Lots of umbrellas for shade but the beautiful pools were freezing. This stopped me going in but the kids still went in. …

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.

This place is brilliant! I would return & stay here in a heartbeat. First impressions as we arrived on the bus to Playa Blanca, was that all the other hotels looked so pretty & nice & we were worried what we were going to get. But we needn’t have worried. It maybe wasn’t quite as grand as some of the ones we’d seen, but it was more than enough for us. Check in was very smooth & quick, everyone very friendly & helpful. We were told that the restaurant had now closed (9. 30pm), but as we have arrived late there would be a cold buffet laid out at 10. 30pm, so that was very good of them. …
