I must say I was disappointed with the apartments, the pool was cleaned better than our rooms!!!!, the apartments are exactly what they say they are 2 star.

Our bed linen didn't actually fit the beds, towels had seen better days and the cleaner only took 5 mins to clean. We arrived and walked into our apartment to find no electric, we reported it at the reception and the maintenance man (who seemed also to be a cleaner) came and looked, removed the fridge to discover a pool of water which had obviously got into the socket, he plugged in an extension lead across the kitchen (which was dangerous!! good job we had no young children) and said he would return the next day, never came back for the 2 weeks we were there.

The day we were leaving 23th August 2007 we had to vacate the room by noon, we were still in the apartment at 11 o' clock when the cleaner came into the apartment and started to strip the beds etc, ready for the next people, we sat on the balcony and I couldn't believe the basic cleaning that was done, she didn't even check the kitchen cupboads, just changed the beds and towels, whipped round with the mop and that was it.

Having been to Lanzarote for a number of years these were the worst apartments I have stayed in, but with a lot of work and cleaners who actually clean if could be ideal, it is in an ideal spot, close to the beach, restaurants and nightlife but far enough for it to be quiet.

We arrived at the plaza Azul in good spirits after what we had read on the review sites, stating that the plaza azul is a great place to stay ,believe me this is a total lie! When we arrived we went to our room which was on the ground floor, the entrance to the apartment was through patio doors which were totally unsafe and could of easily been broken into. The apartment was in complete darkness due to there being shutters on the windows. i took my shoes of ready to unpack and within 2 minutes my feet were covered in dirt, the floor obviously had not been cleaned for days. When i went into the bathroom there were cigarette dimps in the toilet that someone had obviously tried to flush away, the bath had all shower gel inside so this had not been cleaned. As i opened the cupboards to look at the plates and cups, we realised that the cups had been used as ash trays and had not been cleaned. The plates and cutelry were dirty with food remains on them, the glasses had mouth marks around the rims it was disgusting. The towels were also not clean the whole apartment was a complete nightmare. A tent on the beach would be a better place to stay than here! Anyway we didnt even get to spend a night here as we complained straight away along with many other people and we were moved to different apartments across the way. i just thought i would warn people that the plaza azul is not the place to go if you want a nice clean apartment!!

4/4 found this review helpful

After spending some time researching accomodation in Lanzarote we are really pleased we chose the Plaza Azul.
One bedroom apartment was spotless, bright, nice balcony with almost everything we needed ( No hairdryer ladies but you can rent one from reception for 9 Euro !!)
Apartments were really quiet while we were there but the staff were very friendly and helpful. Supermarket not great, use one of the others on the hill. The location was a big bonus, at the top of an incline but only 5-10 minutes from the beach and the resort nightlife, which had everything from quiet bars to night clubs in the commercial centre..
Try booking seperately like we did, saved some money and lots of taxis at airport were only around 12 Euro each way ( a travel operator quoted an extra £50 for transfers !!)
Lanzarote was a pleasant surprise for a last minute break and as a young couple who like a good standard of accomodation would definately stay at the Plaza Azul again.

“Going back this summer”

Plaza Azul

4/5 found this review helpful

The staff at Plaza Azul were so friendly and welcoming and couldnt have done more to make our stay more comfortable.
The apartments were immaculate and cleaned 5x in our 7 night holiday, we had a balcony off the lounge overlooking the pool and a second smaller balcony off the bedroom.
The pool and gardens were maintained every day, all in all a really lovely place to stay...... we got home and booked up to go again this summer.
