Stayed here in September and had a fantastic time. The villa we had was spotless inside and out and the standard in the complex was very high. We will definately be returning to either the villas or the suites.

Well worth a visit.

We have just spent an amazing two weeks in Villa Alondra in Lanzarote. The villas were by far superior to anything we have stayed in before.

The cleaning service was excellent. Beds were changed every second day as were the towels. Villa was very spacious and inlcuded a washing machine plus dryer, tv, DVD player and video, microwave, oven, fridge freezer. The only comment I would make is that you need to take your own t-towels and cloths etc, as there was nothing there to wipe down with or wash up with i.e. washing up liquid. There is a interior airer for your washing, but you are not allowed to take this outside or indeed hang any washing outside ( as we found out when we did this!!).

The pool was cleaned daily, filled and water checked etc. Staff very polite and courteous.

I was sent a present of dried fruit on my birthday, which was a very nice touch.

The villas are a good fifteen minute walk from the old town of Puerto Del Carmen DOWNHILL!! Would definitely recommend a taxi back up. They are very cheap and on average cost about 2.65 euros to get home. The busy strip of the newer town has become a little too comercialised for us and we spent the best part of the fortnight in the old harbour town. There are many good restaurants and a square of english bars showing footy, if that is what you want.

Weather was better than we had hoped for. Topped 30 degrees on most days. There is a nice strong breeze that blows across the island and you definitely need it on the hot days. Evenings were comfortable with no need for a cardy!!

In the villa you could hire an air conditioning unit, but to be honest we didn't need to.

Supermarkets are pretty close, but again on the down hill walk. We hired a car and was glad, especially doing the supermarket runs.

Had a day out at Rancho Texas Park, Would DEFINITELY recommend this. Cost 14 euros per adult and we had a magnificent day out. It is similar to a zoo, but is the cleanest attraction I have every been to. Displays by birds of prey, parrots, sealions etc are brilliant. There are white snow tigers there, puma cats.......... You just have to go. Value for money and they don't rip you off with the food and drinks.

Just in case you have the unfortunate event of needing the local hospital (which we did). The doctors speak good english and the hospital is spotless and very quiet!!

All in all, probably the best holiday we have had in years and would recommend the villas. Very quite, private estate with 18 villas in total. We stayed in number 17 and had no problems whatsoever.

We booked through Style Holidays and they would appear to be cheaper than Thomson.

We booked to stay in one of the 2 bed suites for a week and have just returned and would highly recommend it to anyone. The villas arranged a private transfer each way which we paid at reception half way through our stay along the balance and they ran smoothly - no waiting around in taxi queue's and was probably cheaper. The return transfer arrived 20 minutes early so no worrying if they would turn up ! - (journey time was approx 10-15 mins) Walk down to the beach was about 20 mins but true that it was harder back uphill and the pavements seemed slippery. Restaurants/supermarket and shops were along the same route and were approx 5 mins away..... great chinese on the left just before the Dino Supermarket. Maids came 5 days out of the 7 and would return if you were not ready for them to come in. Only saw the pool man once but thats not to say he didn't visit early in the morning(alot of villas/suites to maintain) Although it's a fair sized complex, being in the suites were much more private than the villas which had the main route to the reception. I would say that our suite's pool didn't have a shallow end, only the 4 steps then it was a metre deep. Obviously we always kept our eye on them but our girls coped ok but with rubber rings etc. If you want a quiet and relaxing time in the sun with your own pool, this is the place to go and you pay for what you get...... best way to think about it that you could spend the same or sometimes more in a hotel but would you stay in the hotel room all day whereas in the villa and pool you would!

I booked a group of us into the Alondra Villas last year for my wedding.. As the wedding couple they upgraded us to one of the Alondra Suites.. I thought the villas were fab then when I got to the suite I couldn't believe how nice it was.. Each suite has a beautiful garden and massive swimming pool, there was 2 plasma TVs, DVD players, 2 hugh bathrooms one with a beautiful built in Jacuzzi bath. It was so nice getting ready there the morning of the wedding. The villas are also lovely each with a private swimming pool and the complex is located near to the town.. I would defo recommend staying here.
