Playa del Cable

Nice place central

Rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. There's lots of wardrobe space and lots of hangers (something that always makes me happy). The area is exceptionally clean, lovely garden areas and very little noise. Theres lots of parking either in the car park or on the road. Some things that would help improve but did not spoil my experience.... There are very few cooking utensils, a chopping board, sharp knife, wine glasses and mugs would be nice. Softer towels would also be appreciated. We had to pay a deposit for the tv remote and there are only basic channels - being able to sign onto apps such as Netflix would be handy. There is a charge for the safe - why? The safe box is in the room already so I can't understand why we have to pay extra for that. Finally we were greated on evening arrival by a welcoming receptionist, however when we visited during the day they were not so helpful. Infact, i felt i was putting them out by asking questions. Overall, a nice hotel with no frills. I would happily return. It is a little way out of Playa Blanca but we enjoyed the lovely walk along the amazing coastline to the Marina. Theres also some nice bars about 5 mins walk away from the hotel.

This was our second trip to Lanzarote and we decided to go to the southern tip of the island. On the map it looks a long way but by car its only 35 minutes from the airport and I couldn't recommend it enough for families and older people who might find Playa Del Carmen for instance as a bit too lively. The Coral Villas are on an estate close to the VIK hotel opposite and are either 2 or 3 bed. Our villa was probably on its first let of the year. Quite a few of the surfaces were dusty and needed wiping down and under the beds etc. The kitchen was adequately equipped although you need to supply your own condiments etc. The pools are adequate although cold and even after heating (10 euro per day). No English channels although there is an average WIFI signal for you to watch over the internet content. I would highly recommend a car and there are nearby shops although try doing a big shop at the LIDL on your way from the airport. Visit Playa Blanca for the shops and the many family friendly restaurants but go to Marina Rubicon for the really good restaurants and the Mall. The Bus service is excellent, cheap and efficient download the moovit app and you will have a timetable and route map at your finger tips and then cab it back from town (Approx 5.50 euros plus tip etc). We would come back to the area it was great. No flies, No Mossies and a wind which kept the day time temp down.
