Playa La Garita

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.

This is the second year which my family have stayed at the THB Tropical. The reason for our return is the very warm welcome we received in 2025 and the help for my wife's parents who are disabled. Again the staff couldn't help us enough. I contacted the hotel before we arrived and requested a room with a walk in shower (without a step) to enable easier access. This was accommodated with no issue. All the facilities we great and available as and when we needed them. I would definitely recommend this hotel as it is close to Playa Blanca Beach, Facilities at the hotel perfect and staff amazing. 10 out 10 and return next year definitely looks on the cards.
