The Lanzarote region

Lanzarote is situated just off the coast of Africa and is the most easterly of the Canary Islands, being the fourth largest island in the Canaries.

The island enjoys a mild dry climate and is the perfect year-round destination. It is also a volcanic island, often described as "lunar" or "Martian". Lanzarote boasts the longest volcanic tunnel in the world which is over 7 km long and includes La Cueva de los Verdes (fantastic optical illusion at the end of the tour) and Jameos del Aqua (which houses the spectacular and unique albino crabs [not found anywhere else in the world], with the lowest part of the cave being used occasionally as a concert hall). Both caves are well worth visiting.

Cesar Manrique, born in Arrecife (Lanzarote), was renowned as a painter, sculptor, architect, and ecologist - among other things. One of his creations is The Cactus Gardens where you can see an impressive collection of Cacti and sculptures.

Other areas of interest include Guinate Tropical Park and Penguin Paradise in northern Lanzarote which is home to many exotic birds, animals, reptiles and fish (great for the children), Timanfaya National Park (where you can experience a camel ride) followed by a trip to the top of fire mountain. Here you can witness a bizarre volcanic experience - or sample the food on offer in El Diablo restaurant.

Why not visit Lanzarote Aquarium or , indeed, Mirador del Rio, Lanzarote's highest point, to take in the fabulous views of surrounding islands (open daily 10am-6pm).

For those interested in things nautical, a visit to Puerto Calero marina is a must, not only to enjoy the fabulous array of boats, but also to relax, unwind and enjoy the fine food on offer from the many restaurants lining the marina boardwalk. There is also a good selection of shops within the marina - something for the ladies to enjoy!

For something a bit "wild", why not spend an evening at Rancho Texas Park near Puerto del Carmen (just a short bus trip away). Visit www.ranchotexaslanzarote.com for further details.

The best way to explore the island is by hiring a car and taking a few days to visit the areas of interest mentioned above.

Costa Teguise / Las Cucharas area

Costa Teguise is situated on the coast, in the central part of the island, and is one of Lanzarote's main tourist resorts. It is only a 20 minute drive from Arrecife Airport and is a convenient place from which to explore the island.

The island’s historic capital of Teguise is a 10 to 15 minute drive away, where a weekly market takes place every Sunday. When you are tired of bartering with the traders, you can visit many of the small cafes and bars within the market area for refreshments. Don't just visit the stalls - have a wander into the many "nook and cranny" shops (many of which are open daily) where you will find some crafts/unusual gifts/jewellery etc.

Weather in this part of the island is good all year round with the beaches generally windier than those in other resorts. It is therefore an ideal location for windsurfers and in the summer months, the constant breeze is very welcoming in the intense Lanzarote sun.

For those interested in windsurfing there are windsurfing schools, shops and equipment rental companies situated around the beach at Las Cucharas (only a short walk from Sands Beach Resort). Most levels of experience are catered for - from the novice to award-winning surfers.

Cycling and running are also quite widely enjoyed for the more energetic amongst you (bicycles available on hire).

There is no shortage of shops with plenty of jewellers, perfumeries, surf shops, leather goods shops, discount electrical stores and general gift shops, with most budgets and tastes being catered for.

Costa Teguise nightlife is lively but not rowdy - plenty of nighclubs and bars with varying entertainment on offer.

There is a good selection of bars - British, Irish and local style - in the resort.

Eating out is a pleasure in Costa Teguise as most tastes are catered for, from Chinese, Cantonese, Indian and International cuisine. Restaurants are open until late.

For those of you interested in golf, Costa Teguise has the island's only 18-hole golf course (just a 5 minute drive from Sands Beach Resort).

As an alternative to taking it easy by the pool at Sands Beach, why not visit the island's only Aqua Park for a fun day out (but bring plenty of suncream!). The Aqua Park is a five minute drive from Sands Beach, just a short distance from the golf course mentioned above.

For kids of all ages, the Centro de Ocia in Costa Teguise (recently opened) is a Leisure Centre for children of all ages with activities such as bowling, table football, soft play area, bouncy castle, playground etc. Please visit www.lanzaroteinformation.com for opening times etc. Centro de Ocia is situated behind the Netto supermarket, opposite Las Coronas. Obviously outdoor activities are the main focus on holiday but this could be something your children may enjoy for a few hours - when the novelty of the swimming pool wears off ...

The resort has good public transport with buses and taxis being readily available. To get the most from your holiday, however, visit the many attractions which are further afield by hiring a car.

Costa Teguise is suitable for couples, families, golfers and windsufers/water sport enthusiasts.

Transfer from Arrecife airport takes about 15-20 minutes by taxi and costs €20-€25. Taxis are always available outside the airport terminal building. You can also hire a car from the airport, if desired. However, there are many car hire companies based in Costa Teguise if you decide to do some sight-seeing for just a few days of your holiday - just price around as there are often offers available.

We have recently used www.moneysupermarket.com to get a good deal on car hire. They referred us to "autoriesen" (who are situated inside the terminal building as you approach the luggage collection point). We hired a Skode Fabia for 7 days for €110. We travelled extensively throughout the 7 days and it only cost €20 to fill the car up with petrol again). Ceberera Medina seem to be the most expensive car rental company on the island.

If you decide to hire a car from the airport, I can provide directions for you.

Guestbook for Sands Beach - Verde 15

We had a great holiday in Lanzarote and one we will remember for a long time. Thank you so much for all your kind attention and thank you also for your very professional manner during the booking process. We will certainly be in touch with you in the future for bookings. Everything is well recommended. Helen Carson (June 08 - Nottingham)

Just a word of thanks for the use of your villa. We had a brilliant holiday View over the Atlantic was wonderful. Kids loved the pool - didn't want to come out! Will definitely return again. Booking process very efficient from start to finish. Again, many thanks. (Janet and Neville Montgomery Jun/Jul 08 - N Ireland)

Had a wonderful holiday, the villa was just perfect and the weather delightful. Want to go back and would highly recommend the resort to all my friends. Again thank you for the use of your lovely villa and hope to talk to you in the future (Finola Byrne Jul 08 - Dublin)

Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday experience between 11th and 15th Sept 08 in your Sands Beach Resort apartment. From my initial enquiry and throughout the whole process, you were both helpful and professional. The complex was wonderful - just breathtaking. The apartment was comfortable and homely, well situated in the quiet Verde Plaza. The view from the terrace was delightful - what a view to greet you each morning. I will gladly recommend you to our friends and family and would not hesitate to return. We love Costa Teguise as a resort - your pad just made it that little bit more special in comparison to previous places we had stayed. Regards Paul & Julie Webb, Cradley Heath, West Midlands (Sept 08)

We booked this apartment just one week before our hoiday - Suzanne could not have been more helpful. Her directions, instructions etc were brilliant and she also allowed us to stay on in the afternoon for our evening flight. Great views from the balcony. Lovely furnishings in the apartment. Our girls (15 and 11) said the 2 sofabeds were the best they had ever slept in. Full cooker/hob also allowed me to cook with ease. Comfort, cleanliness, furnishings, location and overall amenities were all first class. Effective communication about my booking was also first class. I would definitely recommend Verde 15 to my friends and family (Patrick family , Glasgow, October 08)

Just to let you know that we had a fab time on holiday in your villa and both David & I felt that the view was fantastic - the beauty of your villa is that it was on the sunny side, that we could see the children from the
balcony, make a cup of tea when we wanted etc. Also, we did not have people walking past our door like some of the ground floor villas. The children enjoyed a few days at the mini-club and we found a lovely Italian in the cucharas shopping centre. I had two out of three children in tears when it was time to come home last Monday afternoon!!! We have been looking at flights to go back (within two days of returning). I am so glad that on that rainy afternoon I sent you an enquiry - we will contact you to check availability for next year!!! Kind regards. Joyce & David Luscombe, West Sussex (Oct/Nov 08)

Just returned from Verde 15 where we had an excellent holiday. The apartment was fabulous - very bright and airy. The view over the sea was wonderful - very theraputic. Found a wonderful lagoon near Occidental Hotel - at the very end of the promenade - beautiful promenade walk from Sands Beach all the way to the lagoon. Teguise Old Town was very charming - we visited on a non-market day to get a real feel for this authentically Spanish village. Eating out was a pleasure - so many restaurants to choose from. Hired a car and travelled to many parts of the island with no difficulties. Would recommend Puerto Calero marina for a relaxing day out. Thoroughly enjoyed this holiday and will return again soon. (Jennifer and Joanne Hamilton - Northern Ireland - April 09).

Thank you for letting us stay at Verde 15. We had the most fabulous, relaxing and peaceful week. We were delighted with the apartment from the moment we arrived. It was beautifully furnished and had everything you could need. We knew that we had struck lucky as, in our opinion, Verde Plaza was the nicest. The resort caters for everyone. For us, we enjoyed the privacy of sunbathing on the balcony, with a view of the sea and the "refreshing" swimming pool just at the bottom of the steps. Costa Teguise was lovely and we had some great evening in the square where there was a brilliant atmosphere. Thank you for your top tips. We agreed that Costa Teguise was one of the friendliest places we have been. Thank you for the whole ease of booking process and the information provided. All in all, an excellent service. We will certainly recommend Verde 15 to our friends and family and will be keeping an ey on availability later in the year. (Julie and Graham Birch, Birmingham, May 09)

Hi Suzanne, we had a fantastic time. The apartment was excellent for comfort,cleanliness, furnishings and location. The plaza was very good and the sands beach resort had everything you needed and was only a 10 min walk from the buzz of Costa teguise. I would recommend your apartment to other people and if returning to Lanzarote I would be back in touch. Once again, thanks for helping make our holiday with great accommodation.
(Catherine and Stuart Meldrum, Scotland - June 09).

Suzanne - thank you for allowing us to stay at your apartment in Costa Teguise. We were really pleased wth the accommodation and the resort. Staff were very friendly and always at hand to deal with any enquiries. The location is good too as we managed to pretty much tour the entire island. All in all twe were very satified with the quality of our stay (Gavin and Christina Jun 09).

Had a wonderful week in Lanzarote. The apartment was well appointed with lovely sea views and was well maintened. Heidi was very helpful and was able to give us a studio apartment to use on our departure date. Costa Tequise is a very safe and friendly family resort. I will certainly reccomend your apartment to anyone looking for accommodation in the Canary Islands (Kim McDougall and family, Scotland - Jul 09).

Hi Suzanne - just to say that our holiday went really well - balcony heat was just as you'd advised: the resort was excellent and the staff were extremely polite, cheerful and helpful: cheapest car hire was with autoriesen as you'd suggested. El patio was excellent for food along with the chinese buffets which suited us. All in all an excellent holiday. (Carol and Peter Phillips, Sept 09)

Hi Suzanne - just to let you know, me and my brother had a beautiful holiday in costa teguise, i loved your apartment and sands beach was gorgeous. it was exactly what we both needed. Your apartment offered the ideal place to relax. I can only give it my highest compliments. Ihave been very lucky to have travelled all over the world and this holiday rates up there with the best, ideal for a relaxing break. I have already recommended your apartment to a few of my friends and I have passed on the link from holiday lettings: I will continue to do so. I normally take a few holidays every year, so I will most probably be in touch in booking again to stay at sands for next year (Paul Madigan - Oct 09)

Hi Suzanne, we have just got home an hour ago after a fantastic honeymoon. Your apartment was lovely, infact I think its the best I have slept in a long time. We spent most of our days lounging on the balcony enjoying the lovely sunshine and reading, as well as eating out at some lovely restaurants. Thank you (Dawn and Richard Harrison, Middlesborough, Nov 09)
