Los Cocoteros Vacation Packages

Nice place central

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.

Beautiful hotel set on the lower slopes of Lanzarote, looking out on to the sea. The hotel is stunningly designed, with large rooms, amazing breakfasts, and a great pool. It is secluded and with only 20. rooms, it feels like a personally curated experienced. If you are wanting easy access to a beach and other restaurants (the hotel has its own restaurant but the menu is fairly expensive), this is probably not the hotel for you. If you want some quiet and time alone with a partner or friend, this is a great hotel for a short trip.

Unfortunately, my review is too long to be contained within these confinements of 1500 characters so I’ll summarise. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend THB Flora. What should have been a lovely mini-moon / attending our friends’ wedding was dampened and inconvenienced by the abysmal service of THB Flora. When we got to our apartment, it looked tired and unswept, and we soon learned that the shower did not drain and flooded the bathroom. We put up with this. Until, on our final night, but early in the day, the air conditioning in the room stopped working and started making an awful and rather loud noise, like a chugging motor. We were refused a new room. Fortunately, the engineers insisted that the air conditioning could not be fixed, but we had now wasted two-hours of our day achieving the same outcome we’d originally requested: a new room. In this new room, the shower still did not drain and still flooded the bathroom. THB Flora is insufficient in service and provisions to be a worthy stay for anyone travelling to Lanzarote: most of the staff are rude and unhelpful, only one pillow is provided per guest and they’re so lumpy the flat mattress is more appealing, showers do not drain, toilets struggle to flush, flushing toilets send gurgling water back up bathroom and kitchen sink drains, and the quality of your amenities is a pot-luck depending on which apartment room you are assigned. Invest your money in a nicer stay somewhere worthy of your precious relaxation time.
