Hesperia Lanzarote hotel

Cliff path just outside the hotel

We stayed at the Hesperia Lanzarote hotel in Puerto Calero in June 2016, on 'bed and breakfast'. It is a large, very pleasant complex on a vaguely Japanese theme with several swimming pools by a small rock beach with unfailingly polite and efficient staff.  Indeed, so nice that once I was lying by the pool, in a grizzled phase, and a manager asked if I was a client of the hotel. There is also a fine spa (with an attractive €60 package for the stay), and small gym, but with few 'animations'; however several cats. It is ten minutes walk from a dozen restaurants and some shops near the marina, but otherwise not very close to anything. A bus runs from above the marina about every hour to Puerto del Carmen, a bigger resort. Lanzarote itself is quite bleak, being mainly volcanic rock, and a day tour will see to it.
