Lanzarote

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 lanzarote so is a perfect place to top up your tan no matter what time of year you are traveling. Lanzarote is basically a volcano the whole island is the result of a volcanic eruption so a lot of the land is very steep hills so it may not be the most ideal place for the very old or disabled. The majority of the ...  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 clubbing capital where most of the tourists go! We always hire a car so we can see some of the beautiful places on the island. Our top favourite places are as follows: 1. The papagayo beaches: These beaches are pure golden white sands and perfectly clear waters. There are a number of different ...  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 9am til late afternoon so there is plenty of hours to get in the sun. The town of Playa Blanca is not for those who want to have fun nights out or a crazy holiday. I saw some girls with tshirts that said Lanzarote '07 on them so obviously they thought they were in for a good time and I felt sorry for them, because the town ...  Read the complete review

If your looking for sun, sea, sand and sangrias for your hols this year but your on a 'credit crunch' style budget then Lanzarote may be the one for you! I have visited Lanzarote twice, once as a child and once in October last year and have fallen in love with the place. We stayed in Playa De Los Pocilos which is a small quiet town just outside the main capital of Puerto Del Carmen which is the place to visit if you are after a more lively holiday. Towns such as Costa Tequise, Playa Blanca and Playa De Los Pocillos are for the more quieter folk. Lanzarote is the fourth largest canary island situated approximately 125km off the coast of Africa so your guaranteed the ...  Read the complete review

My parents have owned a time share in Lanzarote for as long as I can remember. Up until I was around 16 I visited at least once a year. I class it as my second home! I haven't been for a few years now but I'm going for a week in April and I can't wait. Some people might have put off a holiday to Lanzarote by thinking it is dare I say it..a 'chavy' holiday destination. This is mainly due to the likes of Stacey Slater (Eastenders) holidaying there! I can happily confirm this is not the case. It's an extremley beautiful island that is generally visited by a mixed bag of respectable and cultered people. I would not recommend Lanzarote for people ...  Read the complete review
