Apartments Las Gaviotas THe Home Collection
Matagorda, Lanzarote

Mrs D Mordue, Chester Le Street

Bungalows were spacious and clean, very quiet but lush.

Mr J Clark, Greenock

This should never be sold as an all inclusive holiday. 15 minutes walk to restaurant for drink/food from bungalow.

Mr M Hewitt, Bingley

Stayed at Las Gaviotas apartments from 15th - 18th June in a superior apartment, and really enjoyed my stay. The apartments have an amazing location, very close to the seafront promenade and just a few minutes walk to the commercial centre where the majority of the bars and restaurants are located.

The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. Both the safe and tv require a 10 euro deposit (returned at check out), and the safe is also 2.50 euro per day. The superior apartments have air conditioning in the bedroom which works very well, and also free wifi which worked surprisingly well. Usually free wifi is so slow as to be almost useless, but this was good enough to even stream hd youtube!

I stayed on B&B basis and the breakfast was very nice. All the usual suspects: bacon, eggs, pancakes, beans etc. plus a decent selection of cereals, breads and pastries. Special mention must be given to the hash browns which were just amazing, and a self service coffee machine which produced a surprisingly nice cup of coffee.

Cooking facilities in the apartment for other meals were limited, but fine: a small electric hob, toaster and microwave. Washing up liquid was even provided which doesn't sound like much, but it's a nice little touch.

Since Matagorda is so close to the airport, you will hear a lot of aircraft noise, but unless you really insist on silence, it's not a problem. Personally I think it's a bonus as watching the planes come and go was really fun - particularly from the beach at the end of the runway (less than 10 minutes walk) where there's always a group of people enjoying the spectacle of planes flying just 50 feet above your head!

Lastly, I'd just like to mention about a week before arriving I had emailed a room request, asking for an apartment that wasn't near a road and had a sunny patio. And that's exactly what I got - The apartment (number 322) faced a sculpture park and the patio had the sun from about 8am until 7pm. So muchas gracias to the Las Gaviotas management for listening to my request. I hope to come back again in the future.

Mr W Kilburn, Pudsey

We have been going there for several years and the staff are brilliant, always ready to help if needed. The bungalows are ideal for us and so handy for the seafront. Wouldn't think of going anywhere else.

Mrs J Dove, Hornchurch

Nice bungalow very quiet, patio in the sun all day. We were in block 6 which is a bit far from the beach and shops.

Mr M Higgott, Hinckley

Fabulous, so quiet, clean and fabulous walks to the airport and Puerto del Carmen. This is our 6th visit to the bungalows and can't say enough about them, looking forward to next October.

Mr A Leach, Bury

Mr C Wren, Sandy

Excellent place to stay, everyone was very friendly. No rush for sunbeds around the pool. Plenty of food in the restaurant.

Mr P Wood, Sheffield

Clean and spacious. Great food and lovely friendly staff.

Mr D Kannenberg, Heywood

Lovely quiet bungalows, stayed in block 3 which is very convenient for both the local commercial centre and the seafront promenade. The bungalows are well equipped with their own patio complete with table chairs and sun beds.

Mr C Razey, Bristol

First night hotel b&b no bungalow ready so really lost a day but made up with free late check out and for a 3 star was very good and staff very good.

Mrs Brown, Hornsea

It was ok but the area where we stay the bungalow was very poor, no cupboards or drawers to put anything in, no mirror in bedroom, kitchen short of utensils. Had to pay for sun bed soft covers, they were kept very clean no problem with that. Could be improved.

Mr D Kannenberg, Heywood

The bungalow has everything you could need including a little electric heater, not that I needed it. Microwave, hob, fridge freezer and your own little patio with dining table and chairs and sun loungers. It is worth upgrading to a superior bungalow to get a better location.

Mr A Leach, Bury

Our first impression of the bungalow was great. Very clean. Everything we needed in kitchen. Sun loungers/chairs on our terrace. Clean towels twice weekly and bedding. Couldn't fault it at all. We will be back.

Mr P Williams, Bangor

Nice and clean bungalows.

Mrs K Wildman, Crewe

Basic clean bungalows, convenient location.

Mr P Horner, Bury

Very good, everything we needed.

Miss D Mccomish, Milton Keynes

Very nice, plenty of room, quiet location, short walk to everything. Lovely place. Looking to book again next year.

Mr J Caldwell, Stourport-on-severn

Las Gaviotas was a great part of the resort to stay in. The bungalows were cleaned everyday, the towels and sheets changed as well. Everything under the "campus" of Las Gaviotas was clean and well tended, with a lot of effort put into the pool and poolside areas. The food was of a very good standard, with plenty of variety throughout the week, all freshly cooked, sometimes right in front of you on the grill. All meals had salads, hot and cold vegetarian options and a range of hot food, which included local food. Desserts were always good. The best part of staying here was the staff. We were met on reception by Deborah who was just superb on the first day and whenever we needed her after that. Then Felix took us and our bags to our bungalow for the week. And it just kept coming. Maria in the restaurant in particular stood out for amazing attention to detail and service, particularly to children. We were a little worried before travelling as we had seen some pretty negative reviews on trip adviser, but either those people were expecting far too much or there's been a change in management, because it just didn't resemble the comments made previously.

Mr G Brown, Blackpool

We were very happy with the bungalows, any problems were sorted quickly. They need some updating but generally very good. Have been three times and will go back. Close to sea and commercial centre.
