OUR ADVICE FOR RENTING A CAR IN Lanzarote
- Compare prices on our preferred platform: DiscoverCars – one of the best rated sites.
- A small car is all you need.
- But you can also choose a larger one if you wish, as the parking spaces are rather large.
- Demand is high, so book early.
3. Aparthotel Jardines del Sol
Why stay there
In our opinion, this establishment is an excellent choice for a pleasant stay with family or friends in Playa Blanca. You can stay in fully equipped apartments that guarantee total independence. This is a more economical option, as you’ll be able to cook your own meals.
What’s more, the facilities are ideally suited to group vacations. Between the swimming pools, miniature golf course and Bar-Restaurant, you’ll never be bored!
We also really liked the landscaping, with its climate-appropriate plants and contrasting colors.
