Independent, Lanzarote Hotels

bearutiful architecture, great staff , huge apartment very comfortable

hotel nice and quiet. not a lot near by but close to a supermarket

We stayed for a week at the start of March, the apartments were very nicely laid out and clean on arrival but I dont think the cleaners did a great deal during our time there, any food crumbs we dropped on the floor stayed there for the duration, but all in all they were nice appartments. The pool was too cold but cant exactly blame that on the hotel. It is in a very good location, about 2 mins walk from the sea front which is where all the shops are and where we spent most of our time walking, also a nice beach within 10 mins walk.

The staff were all very friendly, and despite one not speaking English (and our lack of Spanish), she was still eager to help. The location was quiet and not far (about 10 min walk) to the beach. There was a lovely pool which was often unoccupied. Note that the apartments only accept cash payment for your stay.

Nice clean apartments, about 20 mins walk from all main bars and restaurants. 15 mins drive from airport - €15 in taxi. Arrived at 20:30, Saturday - reception closes at 13:30 & keys left in bar on road. Maid only cleaned apartment once on Tuesday - no clean sheets, & towels changed only once. Beds are uncomfortable memory foam & pillows were really lumpy. Had to checkout on Saturday at 11:00 because they were busy & could only leave cases in reception till 13:30 - we were told we could then use pool bar - out flight wasn't until 19:00, the bar was shut because it was raining & rained all day. We decided to just leave at 13:30 and went to airport! Bus stop close by & you can go to Sunday market in Teguise, but beware the buses back from market stop at 14:00,!! €2.80 each way. But...........I have to say it wasn't bad for price we paid & would try somewhere else when returning.

Very nice, close to beach, shops, restaurants, but peaceful and secluded. Pool was cleaned every day and rooms were spotless. Shower was a little cramped, but that was the only failing. would go back.

Room was as described - basic but clean and tidy and perfectly suited our needs. Our block (8) was away from the other blocks but that was fine as it meant we had the pool virtually to ourselves. Pool bar served good food and had a cute waitress! Only wish we could have stayed longer.

We had a great time at Arena Dorada. The apartment was clean, tidy & very near to the beach. It's situated behind McDonalds, which sounds corny but at least it gave us a landmark if we got lost ! It's also fairly close to the rubbish bins (yuk) but you couldn't smell them from the apartment. We only ate breakfast at the complex, so I don't really know what the other meals were like, but breakfast was good. The whole complex was very clean and pleasant (flowers etc) & the receptionist was very helpful.
