Sun Holiday -- Lanzarote???

budget1984

Myself and my husband are planning on going on sun holiday early november. At the moment I have Lanzarote in my mind. The only other Canary island we are at was Tenerife and the area we were in was VERY quiet.

can anyone receommend a nice area / apartments in Lanzarote. We are both in our late 20's and love good lively Irish bars. Not mad on the club scene.

Any ideas would be great help

Please don't take offence, but it does make me smile when people fly for four hours to a foreign country, just to sit in an Irish pub!

Puerto Del Carmen is the livliest and biggest resort, the other main ones being Costa Teguise (which has quite a few Irish bars that have live music) and plays blanca (which does as well, but it is a long time since I was there).

No offence --taken but we are a young couple who do like to socialise and after a long day out and about we feel there is nothing better than an Irish bar

Lanzarote it pretty good, Go there twice a year (mainly because the BF Family have a place there). Its fairly quiet that time of year but still very good.

If you looking for a nice chill out place to stay - Matagorda bay, in Matagorda ( 5 mins drive from PDC) is lovely and theres a great little centre with shops/ restuarants just down the road from it.

There is a good few irish bars around the island so you will have no problem finding one. My Advice would be to avoid 'The Dubliner' In PDC. Most expensive pint in the area and its normally full of english (nt saying thats a bad thing - just my exxperience)

Playa blanca is pretty quiet, nothing much happens by 1am.

PDC is fairly grim, but if you're into the tacky fake irish bars abroad scene, it's all there for ya.

Try 'La Morana' apartments in Puerto Del Carmen, stayed there a few years ago and can highly recommend them. 5 min walk to all the bars and restaurants, and 1 minute to the beach. Its based on a side street up a quite steep hill but you don't sound like someone who'd be concerned by a hill.

Hi!
My proposition is: Barcelo Lanzarote

The hotel is very nice, well-kept as the whole island, no comparison with the Turkish 4 stars (not recommend Blue Star in Alanya ). As noted in another comment salads made ​​from leftovers, but apart from a lot of fresh salads, delicious foods, you can easily find something for everyone. It is worth visiting the whole island by car, a lot of beautiful places to see.

Hoping to go back to Lanzarote for the fourth time in November. We LOVE Playa Blanca - relaxed and chilled out but plenty of bars and loads of restaurants along the promenade. Mollies Irish Bar was my favourite when we were over - live music most nights and a good mix of people in it too. Need any more info, send me a PM to avoid the anti-Irish bar element on here! (I can only assume they go to English bars instead?!)
