This was our 6th time at Sun Park, tho the last time was 7 years ago and the place is still just as good and extremely good value for money. We went with mytravel on-line and you can opt out of the airport transfers for £20 discount each, which allowed us to hire a car for 5 people for the whole week for the same money! We didn't really use it much except to / from the airport but it was nice to have. We had apts 501 and 502 on the ground floor (overlooking the only heated pool) which were basic but clean and comfortable. A lot of Europeans are there on all-inclusive, tho we were self-catering. You can have a buffet breakfast for 6Eur (Adults) or 3Eur (Children). You can also upgrade at reception to all-inclusive for 26Eur (Adults) or 13Eur (Children) per day. We ate breakfast and lunch in the apt and went out to a different sea-front restaurant every evening. This cost approx 20Eur per person for 2 courses and drinks, so it's better value on all inclusive but we'd have gone stir crazy staying in all the time.

The German-run children’s animation called 1-2-Fly (enie, zwei, fly) operated everyday and played loud intrusive music at 10am everyday by the heated pool with regular further interruptions at 12pm and 3pm. We didn’t go to any of the evening entertainment, which didn’t seem very well attended.

The on-site supermarket has been shut for refurb since Sept 07 and showed no signs of opening but there’s a very good Netto about 100yrds south of the hotel. You can walk west into town along the main rd or via the coast path in 10mins else you can go to the new marina to the east along the coast path. A taxi back costs 5Eur.

The apt grounds and pool area are really lovely and well kept and there’s plenty of sun beds. It never gets too crowded by the pool. We went to Papagayo beaches on 2 days, which are a short drive (turn L out of hotel, then R and R again at roundabout along 5 mile dirt track). There’s a left turn just before the first beach and you’ll find a car park at the end on the top by the cafes: there are nice beaches on both sides. Playa Dorada is 200yds south of the hotel and nice but crowded.

All in all it’s a great place for the money: if you expect five stars then and go and pay £800 a day to stay in the Princess Yaisa down the road….incidentally it’s well worth a visit (some friends used the pool there everyday)!

This is the third time we have stayed in the Sun Park apartments, our fourth time in Playa Blanca, and have even brought relatives with us this time.
Although basic, it is ideal for people who just want a relaxing holiday. The accomdation was fine and the staff very helpful.
We did not eat in the restaurant very often, once or twice for breakfast, as we prefer to sample the various restaurants in the resort. Lani's in the marina was a favourite, particularly with the children as they could play quite safely and look at the fish in the marina.
The entertainment in the Sun Park was poor, especially in the evening. During our visit, there were lots of Spanish visitors and these were primarily catered for.
Playa Blanca itself is a beautiful place, ideal for young families and for people who want to relax, like myself. The beach is beautiful and safe, even in the evening. There is a beautiful promenage to walk along, which leads to the harbour and passes plenty of restaurants and shops.
A very pleasing resort and would recomend it to anyone.

Me and my Boyfriend went to Sun Park Apartments for new year 2007. It was a cheap, late deal off the internet and we were self catering. The hotel is very nice, big and spacious and very clean. The rooms are nice too, also very big and cleaned every 2 days. The pools were filled, but as it was december they were bloody freezing!!!! although some kids were playing in them all day. The walk to the beach, bars and shops is my only moan. The walk everyday was at least 20 minutes but felt like 20 days.... But once at the beach it was fab! we were really lucky and got sunshine all week, with a slight breeze. The nights are quiet and people seem to just walk and eat, there are no loud bars or music. On new years eve, we found an irish bar that had a live singer and then music after, which we really enjoyed. At 12 o clock, the hotel on the beach had a magnificient fireworks display. Overall this holiday was really nice, but a little quiet and a bit too far from the beach for my liking.

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.
