Rocas Blancas Apartments

“Ideal location, Ideal basis.”

Stayed here for 2 weeks and honestly couldn't really fault it.

Stayed here for 2 weeks and honestly couldn't really fault it. We didn't have any view as stayed in block C ground apartments but that didn't bother us as we were out most of the time and when there it was really private. The apartments were basic but were very clean, not one ant or cockroach to be seen. Cleaners came every other day and changed towels if you left them in the bath, if you happened to be in the apartment when they came and your towels weren't in the bath they asked you if you wanted fresh ones. Beds were really comfy, only had one pillow each but asked at reception for extra pillows as due to breathing problems I need to sleep raised , wasnt a problem, 2 more were put into our room. There are ceiling fans in the main room and the bedroom which were perfect for the hot weather, was never a problem being too hot in bed. There's quite a bit of noise due to the bottle banks behind the apartments but didn't wake us through the night, only heard it early mornings when up ( we are very early risers). Can't say too much about the pool as we never used it but from what we could see it was clean and there always seemed to be beds available. The location is perfect, down some stairs from your apartment and your right in the middle of the strip. The wi fi is not great, constantly losing signal but I kno this is a problem with a lot of places on the island so we had taken our firestick and used our mobile Internet for it which worked well. All In all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

“Great Location but Average”

I have been visiting Lanzarote for over 20 years, this was my 4th visit this year. I always stay in the same area but have not stayed at Rocas Blancas for some years.

I have been visiting Lanzarote for over 20 years, this was my 4th visit this year. I always stay in the same area but have not stayed at Rocas Blancas for some years. The location is great, we booked a frontline superior apartment which had amazing sea views. The cost of these apartments was way above what we normally pay so I was expecting them to be superior to other apartments in the area. The apartment itself was clean but there were quite a few negatives. No air conditioning only ceiling fans, the Wi-Fi was virtually non-existent and not worth using. The TV only had one channel (BBC News) and that barely worked. This did not bother me but if you were staying longer you would expect it to work and show more channels. There was a hairdryer in the bathroom but it only worked for a couple of minutes at a time before cutting out. On our last day we asked if we could have a late check out and pay to keep our room for an extra 4 hours, we were told quite abruptly that this was not possible so asked if we could use a shower room. Apparently these apartments do not have a shower room or a courtesy room only a room with a sink which is not ideal when it is 33 degrees. Fortunately for us we have friends nearby so were able to use their shower. If the apartment had been the same cost as we normally pay these issues would not seem so bad but when it is the most we have ever paid to stay in Puerto Del Carmen for one week we were expecting a lot more. We are back again in 8 weeks time but will not be staying here.
