Advantages: A fantastic holiday for people of all ages Disadvantages: None at all - i love the place!!
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 you're guaranteed the sun at least! The great thing about this island is that the whole island is only 60km north to south and 25km east to west so you can pretty much cover the whole island ...
Advantages: fantastically huge balcony, nice rooms, next to beach, friendly cleaning staff Disadvantages: reception staff fairly unfriendly, luck of draw if you get a good balcony, choice of food
she went to the travel agents and finally chose the Sol Lanzarote in Matagorda. As the last three holidays I have been on have covered the other main Canary Islands (Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura) and we had made a daytrip over to Lanzarote and liked it last year (the trip left from Fuerteventura, not from Scotland!), this was ideal for me!
My mum told me that the Sol Lanzarotehotel was right next to the beach, and my dad and brother, who went to Lanzarote the month before us (and had worse weather, funnily enough) also stayed in Matagorda and confirmed we were indeed right next to the beach. This was great news as far as I'm concerned, as I generally prefer lying by the sea to lying by the pool (which turned out to be a good thing, as I'll explain later). I was extremely excited about going and when we finally arrived ...

This is a review of a package holiday to Lanzarote.
5 * Lanzarote Princess, Playa Blanca, Lanzarote
We paid £737 each for two adults plus £367 for one child for 11 nights HB at the end of April , 2001. We travelled with Airtours and booked through a local high street travel agent.
Flight and Transfer
Our first trip to Lanzarote, in fact our first trip to the Canaries. It’s four hour flight, we had an hour’s delay at Gatwick but apart from that the journey was fine. Usual delay getting on the bus after arriving at Arrecife but we arrived at the hotel within an hour or so. Lanzarote is not pretty in the conventional sense. The landscape you would see from the bus looked something like a cross between a moonscape and a building site. Water must be at a premium because “lush” is not a word you will be ...
