Would anyone be able to please advise how much a taxi could be from the airport to Puerto Calero. I will be staying at Secrets Lanzarote resort next month. I am debating between saving money and getting a coach transfer or just getting a taxi seeing as it’s only like a 15/20min drive. I like coach transfers as they are affordable but sometimes u have to wait ages at the airport before they set off. Thinking it may be better to just pay extra so I can start my holiday sooner. Appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Hey guys. We’re a young couple planning a 10 day Lanzarote holiday towards the end of June and are stuck between Costa Teguise vs Puerto del Carmen (or Los Pocillos/Matagorda area).

What we’re looking for:

• Nice beaches nearby for proper lazy days
• A good seaside atmosphere (not dead, but not party-heavy either)
• Places to eat/drink right by the sea with nice sea view (mainly restaurants, not nightlife-focused)
• Romantic vibe: sunset walks, sitting by the ocean, nice promenade atmosphere
• A base that works well for exploring the island by car (which means we don't mind if an area is like 10-20 min further away from most attractions)
• Perhaps not too windy to the point it's uncomfortable and we have to hold everything down at the beach

We don’t care about nightlife in the sense of clubs or bar-heavy areas, but we also don’t want somewhere too quiet where evenings feel empty or limited - some comments suggest that Costa Teguise caters to that, being a good destination for elderly people.

This also means we wouldn't want to be somewhere where it's super noisy all the time due to clubs, bars etc. I saw some comments saying PdC is exactly that - a lot of bars and noise.

We’re basically trying to find the best balance of: relaxed seaside holiday atmosphere + good food + beach access + some life around us, without it being a party resort.

Would appreciate any recs. Thanks.

En una semana voy a pasar unos días a la isla y tengo pensado alquilar un coche, el más económico es un Seat Ibiza pero la compañía que lo alquila dice que cubre daños fuera de carreteras asfaltadas, he visto por lo general no habria problema ya que las carreteras están bien asfaltadas pero que hay sitios como la playa de papagayo que son caminos de tierra, creéis que con un Seat Ibiza tendré problemas? Una opción de precio parecido es un Citroen C3. Gracias

Hi all, I hope everyone is having a lovely evening!

I'm going to Lanzarote from the 2nd of June to the 7th and was taking a look around at renting a car for those 5 days. Honestly, I didn't realise that trying to book a car when you're 21 and only have a year on your license would cause such chaos, but I've managed to find a company (Gold Car) that was affordable compared to the other one that offered cars for under 23.

I've read a lot of the reviews, and I feel like I'm prepared so they don't try and scam me. I've already decided I'll just get their insurance since it'll still work out to be cheaper than my other options, and then I'll use a Eurocard with the required amount so they don't try and take anything else out when I'm back home (seeing as the balance will be a big fat zero). Is there anything else I can do to ensure they don't try anything dodgy? Thank you!

Me and GF are coming to Lanzarote ( Playa Blanca ) next monday, staying for a week.
Could you help us with what clothes to pack? One forecast ( ios ) says it will be around 14-18 degrees, accuweather says 18-21+. With both pointing out that real feel is a bit higher.

Thank you all in advance

heading to lanzarote in ten weeks, me and the bf, we will both be 17, is there a need for id for drinking in pubs and bars??
