First visit to Lanzarote and no expectations.
As our bed- room was backing onto the road, the traffic-noise was very loud in the early morning and late at night. Avoid these rooms as your sleep will be disturbed.Our room was 209.
The room was clean and tidy but the taps in the bathroom were loose and not attached properly to the basin. We had a minor problem with lack of hot water on one day and no water for part of another day.
Also the wind blows very hard at night along the side of the rooms by the road.Our window was badly sealed and created a high-pitched banshee- like wail which woke us most nights.
Avoid rooms on this side of the apartments. We also found that noise seems to carry from rooms on the top and on both sides. Conversations can be heard very easily !!!!
Could not find the semi- heated pool.
The restaurant provided cheap food but not of a high quality.
The trees surrounding the pool area were attractive and well tended by the gardeners every day. The Apartments are five minutes walk from the Supermarket and 10-15 mins from the sea-front restaurants.Most are off the main street of the town? but if you turn left at the Princesa Yaiza and go towards the Marina Rubicon you will find Lani's Restaurant on the Marina overlooking the water.Give it a try, you won't be disappointed !
Also great value in car rental at the Princesa Yaiza, from the Cabrera Medina stand in the foyer. We paid 80 Euro for three days, no fuss and just returned the car- key to Hotel reception.
If you are visiting only ONE place, try to see the Green lake at El Golfo and then go to the Volcanic Centre at Timanfaya. For 8 Euro you get a bus tour of the Volcanoes and excellent food at the restaurant ,which sits on a Volcano - the floor is hot to the
touch!!. A great day out.

we stayed at sun park for new year. the room was very clean and the maid service excellent. the grounds of the hotel were very nice.we booked the holiday on a bed and breakfast basis. however, we only managed to eat breakfast 3 times out of 7... we gave up as the standard was very low. the juices were vile, the cooked food disgusting !it was ok if you wanted bread and fruit. the lift to the apartment was dirty and very old..... i stepped inside once but used the stairs for the rest of the holiday.... not a bad thing as any exercise is better than non !!

overall we had a great holiday in playa blanca. the sun park apartments were ok and were good value.....however having looked around the sun royal next door looked nicer.

Coming home from a sun drenched holiday is never easy and if i feel this bad i must have had a great holiday i thought to myself. Well in truth i did sadly Playa Blanca is not the most lively place for a family with two kids in November and after reading all the reviews of SunPark and Playa Blanca before i left i can assure anyone reading them that i found most if not all to be in some way accurate. Sun Park has six German reps who for some reason spent the whole two weeks avoiding the only two children over 5 in the whole hotel. My two boys Nicholas 11 and Nathan 9 waited and waited for just one of them to approach them night or day and they would have done anything the reps wanted sang danced etc but nothing. Anytime we went to the entertainment they sat front row quietly alone and they got nothing not even a lollipop which were often handed out to the younger children (yip they were German). I would not go all inclusive in this place if i got it free but you might like it. The walk to the beach and main resort is not that bad but after a few days it gets very tedious day in day out same road same traffic flying by at what feels like 100mph. Food in the main resort is okay a bit like if you go for food really hungry you will say oh my god that place is great i will be back go for food but not so hungry you wont go back no frills you want chicken you get it simple . Just as an example i ordered a chicken kebab for 15 euros i got 2 scewars of plain chicken some chips and wait for it cabbage and broccoli i ate it and left no frills. We had some great days in the pool which thankfully was deserted cannot imagine what it would be like in peak season it got busy with only 3 couples in it and us , beach days were great to . Overall i would not go back to sun park again or for that matter Playa Blanca saying that i have never went back to the same place twice so if you are going remember Everyone is different and one mans paradise is another mans hell.

me and my partner have just returned from a week in what should have been the Sun Park Hotel, but our experience there was so bad we had to move after one night!
When we arrived, we were given the key to room 362. upon entering the room, we switched the lights on as it was night time and only half the lights were working.
We carried on looking around the apartment and the toilet had blood in it, even though there was a sign on it saying it had been disenfected, but the thing that disgusted us most about this apartment was the white sheet in the kitchen sink which was stained in blood.
We went straight to reception, who were more than happy to re-accommodate us.
We were given the key to 363, next door. We dropped our cases off and went down for our evening meal.
When we got there, the food looked really nice, if you like cold chips and frankfurters, even better! The thing that put us off the most was the flies crawling all over the jelly and orange mousse.
After that we decided we would not eat there and buy food in the supermarket on site to cook, even though we had paid for half board, but to top it off the supermarket was closed down!
We went back to the apartment still feeling hungry. As i was unpacking my suitcase, my partner had a bath, when he let the plug out, the water just gushed all over the floor, causing him to slip over and injur himself.
When we went to bed, we were woken up at around 1am by the fridge making a loud screeching noise, which continued right through until we got up at 8am.
We went to reception to ask where the Thomson rep was and were told there was a phone number on the wall and we had to ring them.
After contacting Thomson's they said we could move to Sun Royal (next door) but we would have to pay 98 euros!
We paid, even though it was a chunk of money from our holiday budget but it was well worth it to get out of there!
Sun Royal was so lovely compared to Sun Park, we could not believe they are owned by the same hotel group!
I would not recommend Sun Park to anyone, go to Sun Royal instead!
