Eating Out:
There are plenty of excellent restaurants in Playa Blanca offering something for all tastes. Several have recently opened at the close by Marina, which is a great place to dine out after sampling a relaxing cocktail at the trendy Cafe Del Mar. Alternatively, stroll into town where restaurants and bars line the pedestrianised sea front promenade. We have compiled a restaurant review for all our guests to help you decide where to eat.
On your doorstep you also have the 4 star Iberostar Papagayo Hotel which has a buffet style restaurant available to outside clients, where you can eat and drink as much as you like for 19 euros, with children under 12 at half price.
Following your evening meal why not try a quiet drink or even sample the entertainment at one of the other nearby 4 and 5 star hotels.
House Keeping:
Sufficient towels are provided and bed linen is changed weekly. There is a washing machine and enclosed outdoor drying area available for guest use. For bookings of 2 weeks or longer a mini clean is available on request at a small extra charge. Guests should bring their own beach towels. A safe is provided at no extra cost.
What To Do:
Lanzarote has so much to offer as further detailed in our guest manual.
Within Playa Blanca why not try diving via one of the schools in the resort, water sports as found at the Dorada Beech or for those really energetic the squash or tennis available at the Iberostar Hotel. Bike hire, crazy golf and pitch and putt etc are also available locally, along with boat trips and sailing opportunities via the marina and main harbour.
Sight seeing trips are run from outlets within Playa Blanca but driving is so easy and the island relatively small at 60 x 21km, so why not hire a car and see the capital Arrecife and the other resorts including Puerto Calero, where you can have a trip in a submarine. There's also the volcanoes, markets and caves or get off the beaten track and explore the wonderful fishing villages and small mountain towns.
Fuerteventura is only a very short ferry ride away, although if taking a car please check the insurance first as not always covered.
Golf:
The nearby Hisperia Dorada Hotel has a very good pitch and put facility.
Full 18 hole courses can be found at nearby Puerto Del Carmen and Costa Teguise.
A course is to be built in Playa Banca in the near future.
The 40 minute ferry that can be taken from Playa Blanca to Fuerteventura gives access to the many courses on Fuerteventura.
