Lanzarote (Spain) Reviews

A MUCH NEEDED BREAK Back in the late spring I felt I needed a holiday. After a depressing few months my husband and I decided to treat ourselves, one of our sons and his fiancée to a week's holiday. We have three other grown up offspring but they had other plans so my husband and I decided we would help towards any holiday ...  Read the complete review

The approach to Arrecife Airport on Lanzarote gives you just a glimpse of the island but it's enough to tell you that life here must have been a challenge for the first settlers and before modern technology lent a hand, most especially with the provision of water. The coach from the airport to our resort in Playa Blanca, on the south ...  Read the complete review

I recently spent a week in Matagorda, an area within the wider resort of Puerto del Carmen on the edge of Arrecife airport in Lanzarote. Matagorda has a couple of commercial centres consisting primarily of restaurants, pubs, shops and games arcades, numerous hotels and apartment complexes and a superbly well maintained ...  Read the complete review

Lanzarote is one of the canary islands, it is a spanish speaking island which is why a lot of people assume it is in spain or just off spain when infact it is actually just off the coast of africa so is a lot hotter than spain. It takes around 4 hours to get there by plane from the uk. It is hot all year round in ...  Read the complete review

I love Lanzarote, we have been twice this year so far and also hoping to return in October. We went with Thomson both times and stayed at the same hotel (cinco plazas). We stayed in the main touristy resort of Puerto del carmen. If you want somewhere quieter its best to visit other parts of the island as this is the ...  Read the complete review

Lanzarote is a small island, a part of the Canary Islands. I have visited Lanzarote five times and stayed in the quiet resort of Playa Blanca on most southern point in the island. As the island is off the coast of Africa, the temperatures sore the 30's which makes it perfect sun bathing weather. The sun shines from around ...  Read the complete review

This review was inspired after a heated discussion with my fiancé. I really wanted to go back to Lanzarote for our honeymoon but we have now decided on Egypt. Most of you will think I am absolutely potty but to me Lanzarote is the most amazing place. I have been 7 times and every time just gets better. WHERE IS ...  Read the complete review

My partner and I have just returned from Lanzarote, our 7th trip in 5 years. Now before you make a quick judgement and decide that we must be a sad couple that always go to the same place each year etc etc ....yawwwnnn! i should tell you that we are fairly fortunate in the fact that we can usually manage to have at least 2 holidays ...  Read the complete review

There is plenty to do on Lanzarote and this may give you a few ideas. We were staying at the Lanzarote Beach Club, which is in Costa Teguise. This is an excellent place as you can read about in the review I have already written about it, but here I want to talk about the area and some of the island. Firstly Costa Teguise ...  Read the complete review

As a visitor to this part of the island I found that it could be like being on the moon. The Mountains of Fire in the Timanfaya National Park are not named through any creative act of poetic licence; they have justified their title through a spectacular demonstration of the dramatic forces of nature during the hundreds of ...  Read the complete review

I am writing to give my view on a beautiful island Lanzarote. I have visited the island twice in the past four years and found it captivating. On both occasions I visited Puerto Del Carmen. On my first visit my wife and I went as a party of four couples in December96, and stayed in the old part of the town, in self catering apartments ...  Read the complete review

Lanzarote is a dream island to us. We have visited the isalnd and the resort of Costa Teguise four times and are about to depart on our holiday for our fifth time. The island is not beautiful in the manner we are all accustomed to. It is covered in lava rock which is from the eruption of Timanfaya about 150 years ago. ...  Read the complete review

Lanzarote is definately one of the quieter canary island holidays. I visited Lanzarote about 4 years ago. It isn't as built up yet as its neighbouring Tenerife and Gran Canaria but well worth a visit. While we were there we took a tour around all the volcanos - its like looking at the moon!! - then when you reach the top ...  Read the complete review

Lanzarote is a completely different island than you could ever imagine. On one hand you have greenery mixed with tropical flowers and then on the other you have nothing, apart from a rugged view of the mountains and landscapes. Being a Volcanic Island the rock formations and colours are second to none. Trying to understand the ...  Read the complete review

Lanzarote has something for everyone. The volcanic landscape is so spectacular that is seems from another planet in fact it was the setting for 'The planet of the apes'. A must when visiting Lanzarote is The Timanfaya national park where you are taken on a guided coach tour of the fire mountains with the opportunity to view ...  Read the complete review

Lanzarote is the place to go if you're looking for some cheap tax-free goods. You can purchase things from Gameboy games to Barcadi, and down a typical street you'll find hundreds of shops selling these goods. There are also many perfume shops aswell, which are very cheap. Watch out though, you could end up paying a price for ...  Read the complete review

It's ture that Lanzarote is indeed a magical place. It is probably one of least popular of the Canary Islands. Having visited the Island last year I would have to warn you that if you are looking for a lads(or lasses) holiday then this is not the location for you. The people that visit the Islands maily comprise of couples ...  Read the complete review

Lanzarote is a wonderous place - the whole island is based on old volcanoes. If you have ever seen the old Raquel Welch film 20,000 years BC (or something like that) - that is exactly what the island looks like (the film was made there) once you get out of the towns, and that will rarely take longer than a few minutes by car, you will ...  Read the complete review

Lanzarote is one of the larger, if not most popular of the Canary Islands. It is served by one airport, and has three main resorts, Costa Teguise in the east, Playa Blanca in the west and the main resort in the centre. One of the first things you will notice about the island is the architecture. All the buildings have to be ...  Read the complete review

Comparing Lanzarote to any other place has to be very difficult as it is like nothing else on this planet. The extraordinary landscape is of the volcanic origin and is like landing on the moon for the first time. 30 or 40 mins brings you from the airport and sees you at Costa Teguise where I normally stay. Although I have ...  Read the complete review
