Suite Abora - 500m to the Beach By Lanzarote Vacation Homes

Everything was great thank you

There is a bit of a hill to walk up, but if you're fit and healthy this is no problem :)

The main problem was the dog that lived above the apartments. Having left the door open for some fresh air you do next expect a big dog to wander into your apartment. Once we sat on our terrace and the dog was either barking or howling. When its owner took it out it wandered around the garden in front of us, doing its business! I had to go in as I am scared of dogs and wish I had read all the previous reviews which I now realise mention the same dog! We didn’t feel able to sit outside again. We did not expect the apartment to be luxurious but everything seemed to be done on the cheap. In the bathroom there had presumably been a leak from upstairs and the ceiling was badly stained and flaking, nothing a quick coat of paint wouldn’t put right. The ventilator in the bathroom was clogged with dust. There were several holes in the tiles and the trim around the shower tray needed a good scrub. The towels provided were not absorbent and did not dry you. The sheets on the bed were thin and cheap, there was a mattress protector but no pillow protectors. The counter in the kitchen was cracked. There were two cork screws, both broken. The walls had obviously been painted but not “cut in” at the skirting boards. There was a gap under the front door. There was a weird internal door which was locked but what was it? Could someone come in from the other side? I later read on a review that a guy had placed stickers so that you could see if it had opened, they were still there. If things like this don’t bother you then this apartment is for you. For our last few days in Puerto del Carmen we moved to another apartment, just around the corner, which was cheaper but absolutely lovely, with a pool and a nice terrace to sit on. And finally, just be aware, from the seafront, going back to the apartment, the hill is a killer! And there are no English channels on the TV, my man wanted to watch the England match! This could be turned into a lovely little apartment with just an eye to detail.
