Aequora Lanzarote

Aequora Lanzarote Suites is on the outskirts of Puerto del Carmen, a short stroll from the beach. The hotel's whitewashed buildings are scattered around its swimming pools, and Lanzarote's mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for the gardens. The terraces are planted with mature trees and native shrubs, and there's a choice of places to sit and unwind with a drink from the poolside bar, including an adults-only relaxation area with comfortable sofas alongside one of the pools. Younger guests can enjoy the two separate kids' pools, one of which has a pirate ship, or swim in the shallow area of one of the larger pools. There's also an outside play area for kids to explore. There are three other swimming pools, all but one of which are heated, including the adults-only pool. If you'd like to keep fit on holiday, the hotel has tennis courts and a sports hall. It's a short drive to the nearest 18-hole golf course, or you could make your way there on one of the hotel's rental bicycles. Within Aequora Lanzarote Suites there are three restaurants and a selection of bars, as well as a convenient mini-market on site for holiday essentials. There's Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. The sandy beach of Playa de los Pocillos is a few steps from the hotel. There are shops, bars and restaurants at Los Pocillos, as well as a traffic-free promenade popular for evening strolls.

The beach at Playa de los Pocillos is 200m from Aequora Lanzarote. The resort centre at Puerto del Carmen is 2km away, and you can get there along the promenade from Los Pocillos. The town began life as a fishing port, and there's still an old harbour area with seafood restaurants. The 6km stretch of sandy beach at Puerto del Carmen makes this a popular place with families. Lanzarote's capital city, Arrecife, is a short drive from the hotel. This Old Port has two castles and a historic quarter, as well as a range of shops and places to eat. The central area known as El Charco, has bars and restaurants. You can head south to Puerto Calero, which is a short drive away. Alternatively, you can leave the coast and visit Lanzarote's volcanic mountain regions, with panoramic scenery and traditional villages.

The buffet restaurants, one which is 13 years plus and one for families, provide breakfast, lunch and dinner. The ‡ la carte restaurant specialises in Spanish food. There's a choice of bars including a lobby bar, a snack bar that also offers afternoon tea, and a pool bar serving drinks, snacks and ice cream.

There are two kids' clubs for ages 4 to 8 and 9 to 12, offering daytime activities and a mini disco. The hotel hosts shows and live music.

The hotel has several pool areas, one at each of the six buildings. There is a small water park at the kids' pool, featuring a pirate ship. The pool at building four is exclusively for swimming, and is not heated.

Each room or suite has a balcony or terrace. Inside, you'll find air conditioning, a satellite TV and a coffee maker. The hotel offers room service.
