This is my third visit to Cay Beach Sun (Sun Beach).
Stayed in room 851 which had a nice pool view, above reception area but wasn't loud at all. Previously had room 454 which has views to Lanzarote Princess and mountain areas both are lovely.
Excellent service at reception and they moved our room with no problem when we were given one we didn't like.
Didn't eat at the hotel as we'd buy bits and pieces at Nettos down the road or just eat out.
The rooms are clean and tidy and some would say tired, like all the other "Sun" group appartments they are all the same with green furnature, if you use it as a base then its 100% perfect, sometimes I'm suprised with people's opinions. If you want posh go to Princess Yaiza 5* hotel!!
Happy hour at the pool bar gets you 2-for-1 drinks in the afternoon and every evening there was entertainment (if you like karaoke etc)
The animation daily entertainment was busy and the animation-girl would come around the pool asking if we'd like to do stuff three times a day does get a bit annoying but we got to scuba dive in the pool for free which was amazing!!
The beach is a short walk away and is lovely and clean with crystal clear (freezing) water. fantastic snorkling too. I aim to go to Papagayo beaches next time they sound lovely.
Drinking out seems to have become quite pricey especially when the £ is so weak. Mollies and Old Mill Irish pubs are nice with lovely views and food, every night with entertainment!! Pool is 2 euros so beware!!!
We ate out every night, some people frown upon going places to eat where you can get it at home but I've never experienced food like these places at home!! I'd recommend eating at Jumbos Chinese (its better than any Chinese I've ever had!!!), Tipico Canario - best T-bone and serloin steak ever!, Spice Indian (Expensive). Take a walk along the promiade over to Marina Rubicon and go to Lani's snack bar really cheap and lovely settings and you get free bread to feed the fish, next door big Lani's we found to have poor service and not so nice food compared to it's tiny next door neighbour!!
A great change was going to the Bowling place near Marina Rubicon fab bowling alley thats so quiet! Lots of pool tables and video games and a crazy golf place behind. All Good fun!
The ferry to Fuerteventura is great fun (Armas is cheapest) and you can have a day out in Corralejo which is busier than Playa Blanca but a bit dirtier i think!
Lanzarote airport is nice and has lovely balconies to watch the planes and have a drink when the sun goes down!!
I will definately go back to Playa Blanca and stay in Sun Beach, Park or Royal without a doubt!! I think its good for familes and couples or people who just want to chill out and get away from it all in a hot, breezy, calm and volcanic landscape!
For those who enjoy trips there's plenty and you can always hire a car and make your own trips!
Enjoy!
