El Charco Suites
A self-catering suite steps from the seawater lagoon
About this hotel
El Charco Suites puts guests a hundred and fifty metres from El Charco de San Gines, the tidal seawater lagoon that Arrecife grew around and still the best place to eat fish in Lanzarote's capital. The apartment is modern and self-contained: a living room with a flat-screen satellite television, a DVD player and a sofa bed, a kitchenette with a hob, a microwave and a coffee machine, and a bedroom in minimalist decor with a king size bed. The private bathroom has a shower and free toiletries, and the apartment overlooks an interior courtyard, which keeps it quiet. It is adults only, with air conditioning, free WiFi, a tour desk and an airport shuttle. Supermarkets, restaurants and banks are within a ten-minute walk, and El Cable Beach is a fifteen-minute drive.

Our take
I like El Charco Suites for adults who want independence in Arrecife. Each suite has a living room with a sofa bed and a kitchenette, free WiFi and air conditioning run throughout, and El Charco de San Ginés, the seawater lagoon in the centre, is 150 metres away. An 8.4 score from more than 400 reviews reflects a solid stay. Families with children cannot stay here, as the property is adults-only.
- ✓Shop at the supermarkets ten minutes away on your first evening, the kitchenette handles breakfasts and light dinners easily.
- ✓Walk round the Charco de San Gines after nine, those terraces keep Canarian hours and serve fish from the harbour.
- ✓Book a windsurfing session for a morning, the alisios blow reliably on this coast from spring through late summer.
Why we love it
- A hundred and fifty metres from the Charco lagoon
- Kitchenette with hob, microwave and coffee machine
- Quiet rooms facing an interior courtyard
- Adults only, with a tour desk and windsurfing
Why guests love itEl Charco Suites is an adults-only apart-suite, so it does not accept children and is not an option for a family holiday with kids. Families travelling with adult children could still use it: each suite has a living room with a sofa bed and a kitchenette with a hob, a microwave and a coffee machine. The El Charco de San Ginés lagoon is 150 metres away. Families with younger children should look at other accommodation in Arrecife.
