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. Back to top

We have a very young baby, can a cot and high chair be provided?

Will my mobile phone work on Lanzarote ?
Most UK mobile phone network providers have fairly good reception in most parts of the island. However you should check with your own 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. Back to top
Is there internet access on Casas del Sol ?
Yes, if you have your own laptop or Palm, there is a WiFi connection in Reception for a small fee you will be given the weeks access code . Alternatively there is a coin operated computer in Reception which is about 50 cents for 14 minutes. Back to top
