Apartamentos Acuario Sol

We leave today 27th July and honestly we have moved lll loved it here. Great location, clean nice room and staff were really helpful. Would highly recommend

stayed at this property in late february with my father for 4 nights. Overall i was happy with my stay however, i probably wpuldnt return. The property is based in puerto del carmen, approx 10-15 mins drive from the airport. It is situated in the eastern part of the resort, which i would class as the quieter end of the strip, but still has bars and restuarants nearby. If you are after busier venues, it is a further walk at the opposite end of the strip. it has 2 buildings of apartment blocks, one is alot smaller where reception is based. The other larger one, has a swimming pool and cafe on site. I stayed in the larger complex which is 1 min walk up the road from reception. The rooms are what you would expect for a self catering apartment in lanzarote. Very basic, but does the job. There is wifi here, but is very poor and hardley works. Beds are not the most comfordable, or are the pillows. There is a rather old cupboard but that is,pretty much it for storage. The size of the apartment is,pretty standard compared to other places i have been too, apart from the bedroom, which i thought was on the small side. You can get a safe which cost me €20 for 4 days, but i did get €12 back when i returned the key. There is a large pool at the main complex, i didnt use it or see many people in there at the time. I used the cafe a couple of times to get drinls, it seemed ok. Cant comment on food. As others has mentioned, there is alot of rules and prohibitions at this place. When ypu arrive you get two pieces of paper explaining all the dos and donts, which i thought was rather odd. Overall i was happy with my short stay here, but wouldnt want to stay any longer. The locstion was a bit of a negative fot me. It was at the quieter end of the resort, through a few back streets from the main strip. I wouldnt recommend this place for families with children, as there is nothing for them to do. Seems better suited for older groups of friends or older couples looking for a short bresk.

Lovely welcome when we arrived from a friendly receptionist, who explained our room wasn’t ready, which we expected as we were early. Lockers available to store your bags at start and end of your holiday, such a good idea. Text and phone call to let us know our room was ready. We were very happy to be given room 101, ground floor, right by the pool with its own sun beds (which to be honest had seen better days). Room was clean and spacious, there is no heating and bedding did feel damp on one of the cooler days. I don’t like to moan but do think 1 toilet roll between cleans is stingy and two would have been nice. Hotel are very clear on their rules and expectations of guests, so if you read their guidance you will have no problems. One lifeguard would clean the sunbeds between use which was a great touch and all communal areas were very clean. Our main gripe and we know it is run independently, was the bar. We only went once as the service was slow and we didn’t appreciate the eye roll when we asked for another drink. We also felt the drinks were very expensive, especially when the mixers were cheap and served in a jug. We would definitely stay again and would recommend for a good low budget stay at the casino end.
