APARTAMENTOS TAMARINDOS, Puerto del Carmen (Lanzarote)

The property sits in a peaceful, slightly elevated part of Puerto del Carmen, away from the main tourist bustle. It is a 15-minute walk downhill to the main strip with bars, restaurants, and shops, and a 13-minute walk to Playa Chica beach. The beach promenade is about 25 minutes on foot. The uphill return walk is steep, so a taxi is a practical option for the evening return. Lanzarote Airport is 6 km away - a 10-minute taxi ride costing around €20. Free on-site parking is available, making it convenient for drivers.

The apartments are spacious and clean, with a practical layout. Each has a private bathroom, a kitchenette with an electric hob and coffee maker, and a dining area. One-bedroom apartments sleep up to 2 adults and 2 children, and two-bedroom apartments (bookable directly) sleep up to 4 adults and 2 children. Some apartments feature a sofa bed in the living area. The property has a strong quiet atmosphere, with road-facing rooms noted as potentially less suitable for light sleepers. Two ground-floor apartments are wheelchair-friendly with a step and handrail into the pool. No TV is provided in the apartments.

The restaurant offers a varied menu focusing on Mediterranean, Spanish, German, and local dishes. Special diet menus are available on request, and outdoor dining areas provide pleasant views. A small bistro is also on the property for lighter options. A minimarket on site stocks organic and everyday groceries, as well as drinks and ice cream. Breakfast is not included in the room rate and availability depends on the specific booking. The surrounding area has numerous restaurants and bars within a 10-15 minute walk downhill.

The property has two outdoor swimming pools open year-round. One pool is heated from early October until the end of Easter week; the other is unheated. Both are free to use and come with sun loungers and umbrellas. A separate kids' pool and a sand play area make it family-friendly. Massage and beauty treatments (including body wraps, scrubs, and head/foot/back/neck massage) are available for an additional fee. Other leisure options include a shared lounge/TV area, hiking, and fitness classes. The on-site wellness list includes many treatments, but the separate spa/wellness centre is not available.

Free public parking is available on site without reservation - a significant advantage in this area. Wi-Fi is free in public areas (lounge, terrace) but not inside apartments. The reception is open from 12:00 to 20:00, and luggage storage is free for early arrivals or late departures. A washing machine is available for €5 per load. The property has a shared library and common lounge/TV area. Car hire can be arranged through reception. Safety features include CCTV outside, fire extinguishers, and smoke alarms. The property is wheelchair-accessible with ground-floor apartments and a step with handrail into the pool.
