My times in Lanzarote

Review by: Sunil Chawla

Weather

In over 40, nearly 50 visits over the past 8 - 9 years, it has only been poor on a couple of occcasions.
Generally the weather is brlliant.
The only 2 months i havent been there are April and June, otherwise I have been there every month in the calender year.

Holiday

My holidays consist of lazing about in my local bar, and reading, or watching films.
I am self employed, so I get back to the UK, earn some money, then go on holiday again.

Did all the sightseeing trips in the first year of travelling there, so I relax by reading.

However there are a lot of spectular sights to be seen on the island

Weather In July in Lanzarote

Review by: C I

Weather

The weather in early July was increadibly hot. There was hardly any wind at all and even at 7 pm the sun was still very hot. The only downside to that is you don't have the energy to do as much or visit other parts of the island. There was very little in the way of cloud coverage, most days started with sun from 8 am right up until sunset. It does makes for an uncomfortable night's sleep in high temperatures, particularly when you have no aircon. Having said that, you come on holiday for hot sunny weather and that's what we got so no complaints.

Holiday

Holiday was great, Lanzarote is a great family destination with lots of really good beaches. Puerto Del Carmen has lots of great restaurants and bars so there's plenty of choice of an evening.

Best Holiday ever

Review by: John & Rita Eaton

Weather

The weather was hot and sunny every day. A gentle breeze stopped the heat from being oppressive.

Perfect weather.

Holiday

The only downside was that we had chosen an all inclusive hotel.
The food was very boring and the rooms average.

So we decided to get out and about and enjoy the superb food in the local restaurants.

A terrible week in Lanzarote

Review by: Marie Crawford

Weather

The weather was terrible.

It was the worst I have ever experienced in all my visits to the Canaries.

It rained every day and was quite cold.

Holiday

Holiday was a disaster as it rained every day and we never got to the pool or the beach once. It was also quite cold.

The rain was also coming in under the door of our apartment and instead of drying our towels from use at the beach, we were drying them from mopping up the rain.

Some of the bars and cafes were also flooded. It was a disaster.

I couldn't believe that it would rain every single day. We just wanted to go home. Every time you went out you got soaked as the showers were very heavy.

We had been really looking forward to a week in the sun to rest and relax.

March - a break from the cold Northern European gloom

Review by: ian southward

Weather

March is usually warm and dreamy.

Occasional sirocco's from the distant Sahara desert blow warm and sometimes strong winds to the islands bringing an orange glow to the dormant volcano craters and hills.

When it is overcast, which I must admit I may have seen once, it still retains a warm comfortable temperature, warranting only the use of a tee shirt.

Take a cardigan in case the winds get up, which it can quite quickly.

A cold drink is on hand at any of the many establishments.

Holiday

Awesome - I will return when I can and have already been to the island four times.

It was as relaxed as I wanted it to be, I had a villa with a sun-trap pool area and even in March, I was more than surprised to see the temperature get to over 100 degrees - and I have the pictures to prove it too!

I don't have any young children but the beaches are clean and safe if you do.

Be aware that when you stroll around and you might not realise how far you have actually walked.

Best Holiday Ever in Lanzarote

Review by: May Promme

Weather

Hot and sunny everyday with a gentle breeze that made it pleasant.

Holiday

Fantastic. Rented a private villa, as we didn't want a hotel and we hate all inclusives with cheap drinks and night after night of the same old buffet.

Our private villa was such good value for money.

Week In Lanzarote, Costa Teguise, During first week of August

Review by: Anonymous

Weather

For my first time in Lanzarote, I was really shocked at the wind level! Don't get me wrong, a breeze is nice - but some days my towel would disappear, I struggled to read my mags and, the one day we went to the beach, the wind was so strong that the sand would be hitting you pretty hard!

We had one overcast day where the wind was also very strong, so I spent that day under my towel.

Towards the end of the holiday, the heat did pick up but the wind still didn't drop... Also during the evening I struggled to bear the wind in a top and shorts (I assumed it would have been warmer) so luckily, the hoodie that I flew in managed to save me, but I still struggled.

Holiday

The holiday was great with the only downfall being the wind.

The Island is beautiful - we rented a car, which I recommend, as it makes viewing the island so much better (unless you struggle to drive on the 'other' side). The beaches are lovely (shame about the sand blasts). Also everything is a decent price in Lanzarote which made shopping a delight.

Have been going to Lanzarote now for a number of years in August and the weather has always been fantastic.

Heredad Kamezi villas, Lanzarote

Review by: Kate

Weather

Very sunny, not extremely hot though. In fact, it was the perfect temperature, except a couple of days that it rained.

Holiday

Wonderful! It was our 2nd holiday in Lanzarote, but our first time at Heredad Kamezí. These villas are really great. You can have all the privacy and relax you wish, but with cleaning and security services. It claims to be a luxury complex, and for sure it is: private swimming-pool, jacuzzi... and everything in a healthy, ecologic way. We'll be back next year!

Playa Blanca April/May

Review by: Lee

Weather

Having been going to Lanzarote every year since 1988 to our villa, we have seen the weather change dramatically over the last few years...

Yes, it is always mild in winter and hotter in summer, but we always go in April or October and the last few years we have had alot of rain...

In fact, the island is turning greener which is unheard of. Even the locals say this!

There seem to be more showers and heavy rain than ever before. On saying this I have never been to the Island and not achieved a lovely suntan, but be warned: in winter in particular you can get rain/ showers/cloud sometimes lasting for a couple of days and you will need a light jacket at night.

Holiday

Always lovely in Playa Blanca. Low rise easy on the eye, pleasant sea front area and traditional restaurants offering simple food- fish, paella etc.

Booze and ciggies still cheap. Ir's lovely on a hot day having a pint of ice cold beer watching the ferry come in and the people walk by.

Review by: Sam

For winter weather, it was amazing. For 2 weeks we only had 1 day of cloud; the rest of the time it was warm and sunny without being too hot. Sunbathing weather everyday but we were very lucky as winter weather can be very unpredictable. A bit chilly in the evenings and first thing in the morning.

Holiday

Fab - stayed all inclusive at Lanzarote Village in Playa de Los Pocillos. Brill location, very modern, great food and an excellent New Year's Eve Gala dinner.

The weather was beautiful throughout our stay, just cool enough in the mornings to walk to the Marina, by mid morning its starts warming up and mid afternoon is just fantastic.

October in Playa Blanca

Review by: Sarah Gillies

Weather

Lovely weather end to end, sun, light breeze, warm evenings. Just perfect. To sit outside in the sun in October is such a treat, we've been 5 years in a row and only had heavy rain once - and that was overnight!

Holiday

Wonderful. Playa Blanca is just lively enough, good shopping, lovely little beach, easy access to all sorts of other lovely towns. Great range of restaurants of all kinds, lots of supermarkets if you're self catering, lovely coastal walk to the spectacular rubicon marina. As relaxed or as busy as you make it.

Lanzarote a Great Holiday

Review by: Paul Moore

Weather

Went out on 18th November 2010. Had a couple of cloudy days with a light shower but temp in shade still reached 26 Degrees C. Returning to -3 Degrees C in the UK puts it into perspective for us all.

Been going to Lanzarote now for 10-years and liked it so much we have just bought our own Apartment. Its available to rent - Please see Property C3326 on Owners Direct website.

Holiday

Fantastic as always. Not the hottest time of year in November but was out in August/September and it got up to 48-Deg C.Now thats hot.

Something for everyone on this island and a great holiday location all year round.

The weather was fantastic, 7 days of sunshine with
warm evenings. The avarage temp during the day was 27 and only dropped to 19 at night.
Saturday 27th was a bit windy but it was still warm enough to sunbathe.

Holiday

The holiday was great, the hotel, the food, the drink and the night life was just fantastic. The location of our hotel in Puerto del Carmen was great, it was right near the beach which we went on every day.

Holiday in Lanzarote recommended

Review by: Casbourne

Weather

Just done a quick week away in lanzarote in November it was great.
Sun bathing every day, slight drizzle one day with patchy cloud but when still round the pool at 5pm and your friends in the UK with the central heating on in the dark - it makes it worthwhile.

Holiday

You can make it the quietest or busiest holiday going over there as all the facilities are available.
My wife is a sun seeker so stays on the balcony or around the pool reading & sun bathing. I like a bit of that also but enjoy a fantastic bike ride all along the coast to Arrecife in the mornings.
I have started to kayak and the groups are great adventures. If you like a run then I think the most impressive run is from the harbour to Puerto Callero and back. Views are just great.
Played golf at the new course last time I was out - great deal as rented everything. And you can snorkel around playa Chico!

Review by: Rita

The weather was fantastic. A bit cloudy in the morning until 10-11 and in the evenings but during the day it was beautiful.

Holiday

We stayed in the Hotel Aquarius in Puerto del Carmen. We hired a car on the second day... should have done it on the night we arrived... very easy to find places you want to go to. Parking is free, but if you choose to take a taxi it is also quite cheap. It was 15 euros from the airport, about 5 euros from our hotel. Everything is so laid back. The food is very good everywhere. Services is not always the best but we didn`t care.

The weather is great - always hot and sunny. Not seen a single rain drop or cloud in the sky. Always blazing bright - although at the night insect repellant is nessacary in this instance with all the insects.

Review by: Kerry

Weather

The weather in Lanzarote is perfect, with red hot sunshine and a cool breeze. It is cool at night which makes it easy to sleep. Perfect!

Holiday

We go to Club LaSanta every year and will continue too for many more. We split our holiday in to two. We stay in Club Lasanta sports complex for 1 week and then we go to stay near my mothers house in Puerto del Carmen for the 2nd week. Club Lasanta is on a very remote part of the island but is an sports persons dream every single sport you can think of is doable here and we take total advantage of that, so on the 2nd week we totally chill in my mums place of work at Club Las Calas which is a very home from home friendly place with a great english bar and 3 pools with fantastic apartments. I can't wait for the next trip very soon woohoo!!

Lanzarote for holidays

Review by: Allan McCorquodale

Weather

In ten years of holidays in Lanzarote we have only had 5 days with some (light) rain. Sometimes a bit windy but always warm. Hot sunny days, warm clear nights.

Holiday

Always fun. Its the best place in the world to relax amonst friendly people. There's always something to do which can be as much or as little as you choose. Try and get away from the main tourist spots if you can and enjoy the real Lanzarote. We have always found the hotel staff are friendly and willing to help and advise which is a real help. We found Arrecife a bit busy and noisy but in this respect is no different from most large towns in any country.

My holiday in Lanzarote - Puerto del Carmen

Review by: Anonymous

Weather

It was the best weather we have ever had in Puerto del Carmen.

Have to be well aware of the fact that the sun and the wind can tan you, even burn, if you dont keep applying the sun tan cream.

Cloudless blue sky all week. The warmish wind was appreciated as it kept you from feeling too hot and bothered.

Holiday

Had lovely apartment in the Apartmentos Flora in Puerto de Carmen, lovely and clean as always.

Lovely breakfast in El Anchor against the harbour and good time in San Miguel bar near the harbour morning and night.

Lanzarote - Costa Teguise

Review by: Raymond Homer

Weather

Stayed from March the 19th - 28th. Weather was quite deceptive with a fresh breeze off the sea most days but quite lethal if you did not use sun tan lotion. The reps constantly advised you on the right type of lotion to use.

The nights where cooler and heavier clothing is essential.

However not a drop of rain, lots of sunbathing possible and even the sea is warm enough for a swim.

We will certainly be returning either late 2010 or March 2011

Holiday

Stayed half board at the Costa Teguise Playa. Its massive with around 600 rooms all facing the sea, stunning views. The food is outstanding with a breakfast selection to die for starting with bucks fizz.

The hotel interior is simply jaw dropping and a totally photo opportunitey. Look out for the revolving cocktail floor. Rooms are spick & span but you won,t be in there long.

You have to visit the volcanoes, but use a coach for views and commentary.

Find the hidden square outside the hotel full of quality bars and restaurants with free music.

Use the brand new walkway and cycle path at the back of the hotel that stretches some 4-5 miles with built in "keep fit" stations.

Very good in January, it was hot and I got a sun tan.

The sea was cold but the sun was were warm.

We spent a lot of time tjust relaxing on the beaches.

The wind in Costa Teguise was very good for wind surfing

First thing to do is rent a car. We had a polo and we paid 120 euro for one week, which didnt seem bad.

Seven days of relaxing, beaches and sun,

We visited Papagayo, Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca, Costa Teguise, Marina di Rubicon and Puerto Calero. All of these places are beautiful.

We went to Arrecife, visited the capital and we went to Teguise market, which was very nice.

We stayed at the Timanfaya Golf Appartments which were ok and the staff were very helpful.

We had a very relaxing time spent on the beach which was very quiet.

The nightlife was good for this time of the year try out The Inn Place bar on the walkway close to the beach on a Tuesday night. They have a guy there who sings for 4 hours non-stop and he does requests which is very entertaining and a must see.

If you want a top english breakfast go to the Lighthouse restaurant/pub it is brilliant.

Lanzarote holiday at Papagayo Arena

Review by: Anonymous

Weather

Left Glasgow with temperature -9C and landed to 19C fantastic.

One morning with rain but even then it still felt warm.

Lying on beach at 10am with temperature 22C which rose to 24C every day.

Expect a little winter cloud sometime of the day but you won't be disappointed with the rest of the day.

Holiday

Stayed at Sandos Hotels Papagayo Arena in Playa Blanca. Third visit to Playa Blanca but first to this hotel.

Playa Blanca is a picturesque town with the fantastic Papagayo beaches very nearby.

Papagayo Arena is the very last building before you get to national park so nearest the beaches. You can walk to the first one in 5 mins and futhest away one in 35 mins.

Hotel was great; spotlessy clean, lots of space to sunbath/swim/have a beer.

We stayed all inclusive and the food was also great. Entertainment was a good level for 'in hotel' shows; with the time of year the hotel was pretty quiet so the disco was empty but in high season I would imagine it would be busy.

Nearest bar/restuarants at Marina Rubicon, about a 20 min walk away. Centre of Playa Blanca would be a very long walk however hotel runs a minibus service into town during the day.

We chose the hotel to be near the beaches and hired a car, so distance to town didn't matter.

We will be back and recommend a holiday here to anyone.

The weather was lovely all except 1 day when we had a little rain. It was so good to see the sun after the awful weather we have had here.

As we went in November it was around the mid 70's most days and cooled down at night, but we only needed a sweater on the odd night.

Holiday

We stayed in Playa Blanca. This had been recommended as being quieter than the other main resorts. It suited us very well, there were lots of good places to eat and not as expensive as we thought they might be.

The Sun Tropical where we stayed was very clean, tidy and quiet. It is a little out of town, but we enjoyed the walk.

This was our first visit to Lanzarote but I don't think it will be the last.

Our holiday was really good.

We were at the Old Town,but it was only 10 - 15 min walk to the New Town.

You could get a 3 course meal for 5 Euros. A large beer for 1.50 - 2 Euros, which is cheaper than England.

We just had a lazy holiday in the sun.

We stayed at the Flora Apartments and can't fault anything, except you had to be down early for a sunbed.

Even if it does rain it tips it down for 2 minutes and then it stops, 10 mins later the paths are dry.

Holiday

My holiday was great the food is amazing and the beaches are well looked after.

All of the resturaunts i would rate a five star the food is really good. A recomended meal is the chicken breast roquefort.

Holiday in Lanzarote for wife's 65th Birthday (8th to 15th October)

Review by: Brian Cook

Weather

Absolutely beautiful, during day 27 to high of 35 with lovely breeze. At night (22.00hrs) very pleasant at 22.

Holiday

One word FABULOUS.

I took all of my family to Hotel Leberostar at Puerto Calero. This included my wife, son, daughter, daughter in law, son in law and our five grandchildren aged 1 to 5 years of age. The hotel complex was superb with four pools including a superb 'kiddies' pool. The place was spotless, the food/drinks on an All Inclusive basis were top quality and real value for money.

We were apprehensive of taking our five little ones but there was no need to be, both the staff and other guests treated them very well. We were very proud.

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they treated my wife very well at dinner on her birthday. I would most definitely recommend this Hotel and am seriously considering going again.

Stay on the coast as it was much cooler with a lovely breeze.

Most days it was 30 degrees.

Stayed in apartment in Playa Bastian, didn't like it there so we booked into the Arrecife Gran Hotel, it was fab. Got upgraded to a suite. We had a great holiday.

Lanzarote - Hot ! Hot ! Hot !

Weather

2-week holiday in Puerto del Carmen, back this morning, 14th October 2009 - weather was absolutely scorching.

Temperature at the Pharmacia sign in Reine Sofia Calle showed 38 degrees at 3 pm most days!! Hardly a cloud to be seen. Very little breeze!!

Holiday

La Florida apartments are perfectly located - plenty of bars and restaurants nearby.

Would recommend Purple Turtle for breakfast, Upstairs grill bar in the old town near the harbour for evening meal, or for something lighter Sunset Grill at Scotch Corner.

Live rock band at Buddy's in the old town, Crowded House Bar on Reine Sofia Calle with Liam on guitar, and karaoke with Charlie in Jinty McGinty's were all greatly enjoyed!

Our holiday in Puerto del Carmen, San Francisco II complex

Review by: Sue

Weather

Excellent. Never saw a cloud for the 14 days we were there. It was over 30 degrees everyday and even at night it didn't drop below 20 degrees. There was a gentle breeze blowing which was very welcoming but watch out, this can be deceiving!

Holiday

Wonderful! This is our 10th stay on the island and hope there are many more to come, will be returning end of October, same resort and complex.

Lanzarote Holiday

Review by: Lesley Canavan

Weather

The weather was fantastic. Very warm during the day, near the end of our holiday over 40 degrees and over twenty dgegrees at night, however as there is a breeze it is very nice but beware as the sun is very strong and you need plenty of high factor sun cream.

Holiday

We had a fantastic holiday, went with First Choice to Sun Tropical in Playa Blanca. Food was excellent and staff were great. Playa Blanca is lovelyand the people very friendly. Couldn't get away with how clean the island is. Loved it and cannot wait to be able to go back again on holiday. Would definately recommend it.!!!!

1st Visit to Lanzarote

Review by: Claire

Weather

My friend and I went to Lanzarote in September 2008 for two weeks.
It was hot everyday, anywhere from 25 to 27 degrees.
I'm very fair skinned and managed to get myself a lovely tan!
My mate who is half Italian went black!

Holiday

The whole 2 weeks was excellent!
We stayed in Atlantis/Las Lomas apartments in Puerto Del Carmen - very pleased with the accomodation it was basic but just what 2 young girls needed.
It was at the top of Cardiac hill, but after a few drinks we hardly noticed!
I would definately recommend this area of Lanzarote - so fine, we are returning in June 2009.

WEATHER IN LANZAROTE

Review by: Mr & Mrs Farrow

Weather

We went for a 7 night holiday to Lanzarote on the 30th October, unfortunately during this time the weather was very changeable with rain, wall to wall cloud and very windy. We had a couple of afternoons in the week when the sunshine broke through the cloud giving temperatures in the low 20's. Certainly not sunbathing or swimming weather !!!

Holiday

We stayed in Matagorda at the Costa Sal. These apartments are close to all amenities and only a stones throw away from the beach and the promenade. The stretch of beach goes from Matagorda, through to Playa del-carmen.
Athough the rooms were very basic they were clean and all facilities provided. It looked like some of the apartments were being refurbished whilst we was staying there. The outdoor space including swimming pools and gardens were absolutely lovely.

Review by: Christine From Neath In Wales

Weather

The weather was really a few days and a little rain, but still nice and warm.
We arrived 5th October 2008.

Holiday

The holiday was great. We stayed in the Atlantis/Las Lomas at the top of Cardiac Hill. Lots of bars and places to eat. The beaches are clean and the car drivers are not as mad as in Spain. Our apartment was really basic and although they say you have a terrace, ours was without side all day and we had no view.

Holiday was brilliant, we stayed in the H10 Rubicon Palace in Playa Blanca, lovely hotel, there is a long path just outside the hotel that takes you to the beach and the harbour. Had a boat trip, was lovely...needed the breeze! would definitely recommend!

Playa Blanca

Review by: Claire

Weather

The weather in March 07 was fabulous - not so hot that you were saturated, but warm, and the sun seemed to be huge and directly above you in the sky - needless to say I had a fabulous deep tan, and I'm normally fair skinned (never been this brown anywhere in Europe before).
My advice is to go to the Canaries late winter/ early spring.

Holiday

Fabulous, staying in an AI Holiday Village in Playa Blanca with Going Places.
Gorgeous lay-out, beautiful pool, lovely pool bar - not too busy and a fabulous kids club on 3 times a day. Food was average, but lots of choice.
Lanzarote is arid with barely any vegetation, but somehow still has a certain charm about it.

Family Holiday in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote.

Review by: Anonymous

Weather

This was the best holiday I have ever had up to now.
The weather was especially hot.
Usually it is approx 20 degrees at night, when we went it was 32 degrees at night, definately an heatwave as during the day it was between 36 & 40 degrees.
Phew!!!!

Holiday

We went to apartments called Corona Mar in the new town of Puerto del Carmen, there were nine of us altogether, so we had three apartments next door to each other, it was like renting your own private villas and pool as no-one from the other apartments used the pool,
We had a fantastic time.

Review by: Lesley Scott

We were there early March this year we usually go in the October and I must say I thought the weather was better in the March
I am a sun worshipper when I get up in the mornings the first thing i do is look and see what the weather is like dont do that at home as it is most times dreary.

Holiday

This was our 3rd visit to Lanzorote we like staying in PDC I love the atmosphere , the shops ,the food : they have a beautiful beach which they really look after.
Have been to the other Canary Islands : Tenerife,Gran Canaria and Fuertventura but Lanzorote is my favourite.
