    Has anyon been to Playa de las Americas before and what did they think of it? I'm considering booking a holiday here. Just want to know if the beach there is nice, how the nightlife is. Thanks

    I was there twice, bit of a ****hole , you have to watch your back there. I found Puerto Del Carmen Lanzarote to be far better and very clean and safe

    ^^^^ I've been there 5 times and never had or seen any trouble.. OP it really depends on what sort of Holiday you're after.. Yes PDC in Lanzarote is lovely but if you're after more of a Party style Holiday then I would recommend Playa Las Americas as the nightlife is much better.

    Here's a review I left for another poster last year.

    M1894,

    I have stayed in Playa de las Americas many times but usually in the newer end towards Los Cristianos. Have a look at the area around these apartments. It's a lovely part of the resort with an up-market feel to it (I dont mean posh, just modern, clean & well planned I suppose).

    There are lots of beaches in Las Americas. Right outside these apartments you have a decent sized beach and then just to the left (1 minute walk!) you have Playa Las Vistas, which is huge! Google it and you wll see some images. Here is what people say about it on tripadvisor. It also has watersports there too.

    There are loads of shops bars & restaurants around here to keep you fed & watered! For nightlife, it depends on what you are looking for. There are bars, disco bars, irish bars & live music around here. For nightclubs, I think you will need to go to the Veronicas area which is about 5 to 10 minutes walk.

    I've been to the main touristy islands in the Canaries and this is by far my favourite. I have recommended it to friends & family and they love it so much that they keep going back too. As the apartments are only 20 minutes from the airport, we usually book flights & apartment separately instead of doing a package holiday. It only costs about 20 euro in a taxi. Some apartments will actually collect you from the airport as part of the price.

    Hope this helps.
