We spent 10 nights here and quite enjoyed it even though it's a bit of a mixed bag. The location is phenomenal, there's a wonderful beach put the rear and we had a sea view which is fantastic to wake up to. Out the front up the road there's another beach that's amazing to snorkel at. The food is good even though there's some odd choices like lasagne for breakfast, but people were eating it for breakfast so who knows. There's food all day too and plenty to choose from, if you can't eat here you are simply too fussy an eater. The staff are lovely and work super hard, particularly the bar staff, there's a pub attached to the side which opens late afternoon. Why is this a 3 star? Well a few things. The pool looks magnificent when you are standing over it, but get inside and it's full of dirt, which I found super annoying as did others. I think they know as we mentioned it to reception but it probably needs fully draining to fix. The day music around the pool would be great if I was born in 1940, and although the entertainment team work super hard we found the games underwhelming. The evening entertainment was also poor, ABBA, some dude singing 50s music, kareoke (it's fun once) and more dated musical nights, we ended up playing pool most nights out by the pool, but also they really need more than 1 table it's hard to get on at times. Probably put about 300 euros in the thing. As 2 adults and 2 children, we would usually get a bedroom and the kids would sleep on the sofa beds, or there's sole form of room partition. Not here though, you get one big room so forget bending the wife over unless you get 2 rooms. Rooms have kettles but no cups, no tea, no coffee. If you are coming here, you'll have a nice time, it's a bit dated but that's all of the canaries and that's what we like. We wouldn't return purely for reasons above and being first time in Lanzarote we like the other islands more but it was a decent holiday. With a few management tweaks it could be a 4 to 4.5 star.
