Has anyone ever stayed here? If so, can you tell me some info and if you have any pics can you send me a private e-mail? Thanks :)

Hi we are thinking of returning to lanzarote this october previously stayed at lanzarote princess few years back and just want a nice hotel for a 7 to 10 night stay in the sun with good facilities & nice food & perhaps good entertainment. we saw some reasonably good deals for the Rubicon which i know is an older hotel but has some regular return visitors.

so just wondered if anyone has been & what they thought about it & any tips if we booked up to go. thanks a lot Jane (feag)

HI,

Hi, I am going to Lanzarote for my Holiday's staying in Playa Blanca in the South of the Island.

Is there any Gay bars, cafe or clubs near to here? I know of the ones in P.D.C. in the CC Atlantico, but wanted to know if anyone had any local knowledge of Gay or Gay friendly bars near by, where do the Islands gay's socialise?

Any help or advice?

Many Thanks, Dave

Hi,

Does anyone know the current price of cigarettes and rolling tobacco in Lanzarote please? Friend of mine going next week, he thought they sometimes put the prices up in the busy months.

Thanks,

What is Carnival like in Lanzarote? Anyone been? Worth going? I guess it does not compare to Gran Canaria and Tenerife but, having been to both before, I would like to try a different island next year. Any feedback appreciated.

Hello!
I was thinking of going to Lanzarote this summer in August with some friends, but I have few questions..
I'm used to have holidays in greek islands (Mykonos, Santorini...) or Formentera/Ibiza,
and I liked that kind of holiday: sandy beaches, beautiful water, lot of "chic" places (I'm 29, not a teen-age!!) rto go out at night..
What's about Lanzarote? Because some people told me that is really quiet...will I get bored?

Hi everyone knowing Lanzarote a bit!!!

One of my favorite travel interests is snorkeling. I don't suppose it
will be enough time during my Lanzarote visit to organize some diving expedition but for sure I would like snorkeling a bit ... SO maybe you know some Lanzarote beaches where I could observe interesting underwater landscape and sea creatures?

thanx for ASAP answer because my Lanzarote holidays will start already from 19. May.

greetings piku

Hello everyone!
I'm coming to Puerto del Carmen in may to celebrate my friends birthday and i have been planning a picnic for that big day. So, I'm asking if anyone has suggestions for a nice place for a picnic (sunset scenery would be awesome) at a walking distance from Puerto del Carmen?

Just looking for some advice on airport transfer between the airport and Costa Teguise. How long should it take, how much in a taxi etc.

I don't actually mind getting public transport as i have time to kill before check-in anyway. Are there many buses from the airport and again, prices and times would be great. Thanks very much.

Hi all
Could anyone tell me what price we should be expecting to pay for transfer [2 people] from airport to Puerto del Carmen please.
And how easy it is to either get a bus,taxi or any other ideas.
Am really cheesed of with travel companies charging `silly money` for airport/hotel transfer, determined not to be lazy and do it ourselves this time and save some money.

Thank everyone for the tips and advice

Hi!

Does anyone know if any of the bands playing at Charlie`s has a website? Or how to get in contact with the band "one way ticket" (I think that`s their name). Brazilian band! :o).. Thanks in advance for any help!

Has anyone heard of Lanzarote property management? We found them on the internet and hope to book a holiday through them, but arent sure how to check if they are reputable. We would be grateful of any info.
Thanks

We have just booked a 2 week all inclusive holiday at the Lanzarote Bay at the beginning February. However, I have since read various reviews and although the majority are good(ish!), there are some fairly bad ones. So just wanted to know if anyone else could confirm either way as we may well cancel and choose somewhere nicer if its the case. Its me, hubby and four children aged between 4 - 8.

Dear all,

I am thinking of going to Lanzarote next year, but everybody keeps mentioning how windy the island's beaches are, which I find rather off-putting. Is it really that bad? Of all three main resorts on the island (Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca), which one offers the beaches better protected against the wind?

Thanks
Eugene

Does any one know if there is a web cam of the beaches in lanzarote like there is one for tenerife, thank you.

Hi everyone,

I am going there in February for an International Congress and I am looking for cheap flights from LISBON, PORTUGAL to LANZAROTE.

If any of you have inputs, please share them, thanks,

Two questions for you. We'd like to spend a week in lanzarote in Jan 07. My partner is interested in the telescopes on the island. I have seen one web site which says trips are only possible in the summer. Are there telescopes open to the public all year sound?

Also, we usually aim for German resorts, although we're from the UK, as the people are much more friendly and less noisy, the food and beer is better and there are less 'all day english breakfast' places and £1 a pint's. We're not looking for OAP hotels, just a nice friendly area. Are there areas like this in lanzarote please?

thanks

Lynn
