APARTHOTEL COSTA VOLCAN & SPA, Puerto del Carmen (Lanzarote)

The property is centrally located, placing guests within a five-minute walk of Playa Grande Beach and the lively main strip of shops, bars, and restaurants. Many eateries are within 300 m, including Restaurante El Golfo, Old Town Asiatico, and Indian Zaffran, as well as a McDonald's and a 24-hour minimarket on site. The old town is also accessible on foot. For airport transfers, Lanzarote Airport is 6 km away - a 10-minute drive or taxi ride. No airport shuttle is available, so pre-book a taxi or private transfer. The location scores very highly for walkability; a car is unnecessary for exploring the resort centre.

Each apartment has a separate living room and bedroom, a private bathroom with a shower, and a kitchenette with a stovetop, microwave, fridge, and coffee machine. Bed configurations vary - some units have a single double or twin setup, while others include a sofa bed for up to 3 guests. Apartments with sea views have air conditioning; those with pool or courtyard views do not. For sleeping comfort, note that rooms facing the rear of the building overlook a busy road and adjacent bar, which can be very noisy late into the night. Choose a sea-view or pool-facing room for a quieter stay. Towels and bed linen are changed every four days; daily cleaning is not automatic. Rooms are described as basic and clean, with comfortable beds but dated decor. Living areas include a flat-screen TV, dining table, and wardrobe.

The on-site snack bar and bar/lounge offer a limited menu of breakfast items (from a set menu), sandwiches, and drinks, all at reasonable prices - for example, a sandwich for €4 and a pint for €3. Breakfast options are not extensive; they focus on an English-style menu with little variety for vegan or special dietary needs. No restaurant is available, so guests looking for a wider meal selection can choose from the many restaurants within 300 m, covering Spanish, Indian, Asian, and international cuisines. The pool bar is functional for a quick bite or drink while using the pool area.

The main outdoor swimming pool is open all year and includes a shallow end for children and spa jets for relaxation. Sun loungers are available, though no umbrellas are provided for shade during peak hours. The property also lists a solarium and yoga classes, and there is a games room with billiards. Despite the name 'Costa Volcán & Spa', the spa area (massage and beauty treatments) is permanently closed and has been since before 2024. Guests seeking a full spa experience should look elsewhere. Cycling, snorkelling, diving, and fishing are available in the area for an extra charge.

Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas (lobby/pool bar) but is not guaranteed in rooms. The 24-hour front desk can assist with express check-in/out and luggage storage, and tour bookings can be made. A lift is available but has been reported as unreliable; accessibility includes wheelchair access and rooms suitable for disabled guests. An on-site 24-hour minimarket sells basic essentials and groceries. The property is non-smoking throughout, and no pets are allowed. Laundry and business facilities (meeting rooms, fax/photocopying) are available for an extra charge. Car hire can be arranged at reception. Safety features include 24-hour security, CCTV, and safety deposit boxes (additional charge). Housekeeping schedules are not standard - towels are changed every 4 days, and rooms are cleaned every 2nd day, but guests must request it if they want more frequent service.
