| said: We went to Lanzarote on the 1st of semptember..we had doubts as we have never been to lanzarote before but we always like to try things new.
We got to the hotel around 12.00 midday and everything was going great, the surroundings were beautiful and the beach was stunning.
The room was top class and was cleaned everyday. The bars and restaurants in the area were fabulous with a lot of varietys to choose from.
The staff were pleasent and helpful and life guards were always keeping an eye out whilst our kids enjoyed the lovely pool.
We are glad we went went to Lanzarote and will be most definitely be going again!!!

| said: Hi, my wife and I stayed at the Barcarola in May and from the first time seeing it we felt that we had made a good choice. I E-Mailed the Apartments in advance asking for an upper apartment with a pool view and that is exactly what we got. It made the drink on the balcony before going to bed a pleasant experience.
There are free sunbeds with foam mattresses which made them realy comfortable for taking in the rays. The pool area was cleaned and tidied every day. We did not use the on site restaurant but the Germans seem to be on B&B whereas we were on Self Catering.
There are loads of bars and restaurants within walking distance. Our favourite is over the road and down some black and white steps to the beachside location. Will definitely return, but unfortunately Portland do not have it next year.
Thoroughly recommended.

| said: When we arrived all looked good, entering our apartment m1 a different story. Really needed a refurb, the smell of damp and mould in one of the bedrooms was over powering. we tried to air the room ourselves, as to not cause problems as we was with a big group. After a few days of the smell and unclean apartment, also plugs falling off walls and other plugs not working we asked to be moved for the health of our children sleeping in a damp room. They did agree on inspection of our room, but couldn't do anything for a few days. After a few days we were offered the apt above which we refused as we were originally promised a refurbed apt by the pool. On our second week we were moved and what a difference we stayed in i1. Did find out they later let our old room back out which I thought was disgusting.

| said: We were 3 couples, ages ranging from 70's, to mid fifties to mid forties/early fifty. Other two couples had stayed at the Barcarola in Nov 2005 and were impressed. It was our first time and we've just booked for all 3 couples to go again, in Nov 2006, so that says it all.
We were in the refurbished apartments ,on the ground floor, next to the pool.
We have been to Puerto del Carmen more than 10 times each, so we obviously like the resort!!!!
The italian as you come out of the complex is top...... BUT if you want somewhere special to eat, turn right out of the apartment complex, stay on same side and walk just past the San Antonio hotel. you;ll pass a crazy golf park, then there are some building onthe right, piano bar etc, go down the stairs by the piano bar.
There's a restaurant on the right hand side, FANTASTIC, a little bit more expensive than most, but well worth it..... a little tapas whilst you wait, PLUS garlic bread, BUT we were charged for garlic bread.
Highlight of our holiday was IRONMAN competition. will be booking to go back same week next year so we can cheer on all the Brits again.

| said: We stayed at Barcarola again this year (we stayed in 2005).
It's so nice and peaceful there even though it's on the main road.
The staff were very helpful and pleasant.
Apartments clean, towels changed everyday and bedding changed as many times as you want. The only downside is they did not have enough kettles to go round and I had to boil water in a saucepan for a week, so will take my own travel kettle next time!
There is a fantastic Italian Restaurant next door as we were self catering and these apartments are in a good location for the many bars and restaurants.
The beach is just across the road, there is a nice swimming pool where they do water aerobics in the morning.
I would recommend these apartments to anyone of any age.
We will be returning next year!

| said: It's a seafront location which was ideal. It was a little bit far from the harbour which we didn't really go to that often. It's near loads of bars,restaurants and shops. The apartments were very clean and the beds were comfy, but please note that if you go there in the summer there is no air-conditioning but you get a nice breeze from out of the window. The pool is quite big and fairly clean, but the floor to the pool just needs a lick of paint. It tends to be a little bit German orientated which didn't bother us. It says that the pool opened at 09:30 but most people went down before to put their towels on the beds. If you go out in the morning and come back in the afternoon , there'll probably be no sunbeds left, but there is some chairs outside of the pool bar that you can sit on which is quite nice.

| said: We stayed in the Barcarola Club last November. The Apt complex is quite big and divided into lots of different sections. Bit confusing at first but soon got used to it. We were at the very back of the complex and could just make out the pool through the trees.
I think the apt was the biggest we have ever stayed in. There was plenty of wardrobe space for me & my boyfriend, mainly me! There was a big dressing table too. The bathroom was very big, but the sink area was quite small, but no complaints really.
The kitchen didnt have a kettle but we heard another guest ask for one so we did too. The gurl on reception grunted at us but she gave me one anyway.
All the rest of the staff were very nice.
We never eat at the BClub as we were out every evening. Since the weather was poor, yes even in Lanzarote, we must have had only 4-5 hours of sunshine for the whole week.But we still made the most of it.
It was 15 min walk to the Centro Commercial, but we didnt mind it at all. Matagorda is really nice and I always enjoyed the walk up to the centre.
There are loads of restaurnts to choose from. The Spar was only 5min walk from the Apt. I dont know if there was any entertainment in the Apt, we didnt see any. The night security was good.
The gate was locked when we got back but you just ring the bell and the security come out. They were always very nice and polite, suppose we were quiet so they didnt mind.
The cleaning staff were in every day except one day I think? They were very nice.. since the weather was poor we were not in a hurry to get up, so I think when they saw the curtin in the bedroom closed they didnt come in.
We did see the cleaner peek in the window one day and she saw a bit more than she bargined for but most days they called in and if you didnt want them to stay they went away till later. T

| said: My sister and I stayed at the Hotel this year in March. The accommodation was very clean, bedding and linen changes almost every day. The only slight complaint was the lack of equiptment in the apartment.
There was no kettle, very few glasses or crockery, no iron. Everything else was really first class, and we would definitely return.
