Sunny Lanzarote

We headed to lovely Lanzarote in June, first stop to drop the bags at the Aqua Suites hosted by the fabulous team there, Wow what a place! I really enjoyed this property, and our room was huge and overlooked the pool with a lovely balcony and it was really private. It is a couple of minutes away from the beach but far enough away from the “Strip” for pure silence at night time.

We booked Half Board, and I cannot recommend the food enough, we could swap a dinner for lunch when we choose, both lunch and dinner are totally worth trying. In the evening we headed for the Puerto del Carmen Strip with such an array of bars and restaurants, Mulligans was our haunt as an Irish band sang each evening; we had a ball!!

On this holiday, we split our stay and moved to a different property halfway through, Aqua Suites for three nights then we headed for Matagorda and the Sentido Aequorea Lanzarote Suites. Oh, My Days… we thought this place is the Bees Knees! A huge property, with rooms for two people or a spacious master suite to sleep 6. They have an adult only location with adult only restaurants and a family area with children only restaurants! Something to suit the whole family! We stayed here on an all-inclusive basis, and it was mostly buffet but it was a great buffet in my view and even the fussiest of eaters would be fine!

It’s safe to say the staff at Mulligans did ask had we our CVs with us as they had seen us so much that week, but the fun came to a drastic end when the alarm was set for 5am and it was time for home!

Shannon airport welcomed us as we jumped in the car and headed for the green and red of Mayo!
