Apartamentos Hg Lomo Blanco, Puerto del Carmen

Advantages: Clean, friendly apartments
Disadvantages: Steep hills

...We stayed in these apartments in late Septemder and thiught they were great. They are in the centre of Puerto del Carmen and are rally close to the beach just 200 metres and the main strip of bars, pubs and restaurants. There are supermarkets located at each end of the street. Use the hill beside the spar as it is not as steep as the one on the left which they call cadiac hill. The apartments we stayed in were opposite reception they are 1 and 2 storied in three different locations - oppsite reception and pool and to either side of the pool. The apartments are spacious and have large a living/kitchen area, bathroom and bedroom. There is a tv in the room with some English Channels however you can pay at reception to get more channels like movies. We found them extremely clean and the maid cleaned every day. We always had fresh... Read review

Advantages: Sun, sand and whatever else you want.
Disadvantages: No good for non-flyers.

...A short bus/taxi ride from Lanzarote’s airport, Arrecife, Puerto del Carmen is the island’s main tourist centre. With no rain from May to September and with temperatures at a pleasant but not scorching (especially in a pleasant breeze) 23-29oC sun-seekers cannot go far wrong. However Puerto del Carmen outlived even my high expectations. Puerto del Carmen consists of two glorious sandy beaches, Playa Blanca and Playa de los Pocillos, a long front filled with restaurants, cafes, bars, souvenir shops and mini-supermarkets and then hotels, apartments and villas, never more than 1km from the sea. Of course good accommodation is very important to an enjoyable holiday and there is a huge range from the very basic (and quite frankly ugly) to the more luxurious (but not unreasonably expensive) with facilities such as tennis courts...

Advantages: Lovely decor, good position
Disadvantages: No Pool bar or entertainment. Breakage deposit 150 euros

...Went to these bungalows in Puerto del Carmen in May 2006. They were recommended but have now been refurbished and it is possibly the nicest small complex in the resort. The decor is superb, I can understand the deposit of 150 euros, it would be a great pity to spoil these beautiful rooms. The deposit is not necessarily required in cash, a credit card receipt can be made out and then destroyed when you check out as long as all is OK. The position is great, on the sea front near to the Casino, on the sea side of the road. This means that most of the rooms face the sea with a short path down to the rocky shore. The patios have a wind-out awning and are very private, a wonderfully peaceful place to sit with a drink at the end of the day. The rooms are beautifully decorated and furnished, and there is a small open-air laundry area... Read review
