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
at Arrecife airport after a two and a half hour flight delay, I couldn't wait to get to my hotel, and I was praying our balcony would have the sun on it...
***LOCATION***
First off, the SolLanzarote is located in Matagorda, which is halfway between Puerto del Carmen and Arrecife (between 3-5 km in each direction). This isn't the handiest place to be if you want to be the hustle and bustle, as whatever direction you're going in the buses are always packed and there's not really a lot around Matagorda itself apart from the beach and various apartments/hotels (and a small selection of tourist shops and supermarkets) but if you're looking for a fairly relaxed atmosphere then this could be the place you want to be. In addition, if you are a wannabe plane-spotter, which Marymum turned out to be (it was the Fred Olsen ferry to Lanzarote she was ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Sol Lanzarote Hotel
Advantages: Great for families and all round weather Disadvantages: None
The Sollanzarote is situated about ten minutes from the airport, this may sound bad news but it isn't, the airport closes around midnight so there is no aircraft noise overnight, the planes come into the airport from over the sea so you don't get to much noise in the day either. The hotel is situated right across the road from the beach it's not a proper road as such but you can sometimes get traffic coming up it it's more like a path
Lanzarote is an active volcanic island but nothing to worry about they tell me there is a least 80 years before any eruptions. To see proof of the activeness of parts of the island it is well worth a trip into the national park where this can be seen. See your reps and they will sort out a trip, take the grand tour if you can you will get to see the whole island on this tour from one end to the other ...
Advantages: Centrally located, great staff, great apartments. Disadvantages: None
Playa Del Ingles in Gran Canaria.....what a place! i love it there, even though i've only ever been twice in my whole life if i could afford to go every year this is the place i'd go, well here and Salou ;)
I recently went to PDI (short for Playa Del Ingles) in July 2007 for 2 weeks, with my young daughter who's 6 and my mum (don't ask lol), we were booked into the Jardin Del Sol appartments, obviously i did abit of research beforehand as i like to know what to expect when traveling with my daughter and the reviews i read were ok, like with most reviews you'll get some great ones and some not so great, where ever you stay it all depends on the person and what you yourself make of the place, but here's my 2 pence worth anyway.
It was roughly a 15 minute coach ride, possibly abit faster if your in a taxi from the airport in Las ...
