Frequently Asked Questions ...........
How far is Casas del Sol from the Airport ?
Casas del Sol is approx 15 miles ( 24km) from the Airport. (Arreciffe). It takes about 25 - 30 minutes by car. Taxi fare is about €32 ( approx £20 ). Alternatively you can hire a car ( independently, or via us) from the Airport.
Is there any entertainment on Casas del Sol ?
No, Casas del Sol is well catered for entertainment by the short walk to the Punta Limones Commercial Centre where there is a variety of bars and restaurants catering for most tastes ( see Steve's Essential Guide). Fortunately, Casas del Sol is far enough away that there is no sound pollution at night time. The only entertainment is the two tennis courts and swimming pools.
How far is CdS from the beach ?
There are two local beaches within easy walking distance of CdS. The nearest is the town beach, which is a blue flag beach, with lifeguard and fresh water showers. A little further east there is Playa Dorada which is more expansive with sun-bed, umbrella hire and water sports. Arguably some of the best beaches in the Canaries, if not Spain, Papagayo are a little farther away and can be reached on foot although a car or the local water taxi is easier.
What time can I gain access to the bungalow, and what time do I have to vacate ?
To allow time for cleaning, access is not normally allowed before 2 pm. Likewise, the management ask that you vacate the bungalow by 10 am. on the day of departure. There are provisions in place for late departures.
Do I need to take towels ?
Towels for washing are provided twice a week however, we do ask that you take your own beach towels for the beach, pool and when using the upholstered sun-loungers, patio chairs and any other furniture particularly when using sun oils etc.
What is the flight time from the U.K.
Depending on your U.K.Airport we normally estimate around 4 hours.
I will be arriving late, can I have a welcome food & water pack ?
For a small charge (£10) you can order a simple welcome pack for late arrivals. The local supermarket normally closes at 21.00hrs.
We have a very young baby, can a cot be provided.
A cot can be pre-booked through us at a current price of £15 per week. If you do not book a cot with us and feel that you may need one on arrival they can be hired direct from CdS reception for a similar cost.
Will my mobile phone work on Lanzarote ?
Certainly Vodaphone and Cellnet have fairly good reception in most parts of the island. However you should check with your airtime provider before leaving the U.K. and make sure that your International Call Barr is lifted. Don't forget, calls cost a fortune and incoming calls also cost you as you pay for the side of the call from the U.K. There is a landline phone in the bungalow which is not cheap for outgoing calls but is free for incoming. Phone number details are available with your booking confirmation
