It's the grand hotel in Arricife. 17 floors high. The only tallest building on the island. Ceasur manrique said leave it up as a reminder of how high rise would and could blight the island and views. You can go up to the 17th floor in the glass lift for free to take in the views. There is a coffee shop there,and the only requirement is to buy a coffee and cake, otherwise it's free. We done this trip last December it was fantastic 👏 👌
One place I didn’t visit in my time there and ran out of time this visit. It’s on my list for next time. Views I can imagine are incredible.
On your bucket list for next time 😊 also visit the castle in Arricife and the isla de femina (the blue lagoon area) and the old harbour area is beautiful too. There is also a beautiful park on the front of Arricife overlooking the sea views. Then there is the huge shopping centre which is further been extended, The open mall. I know my way around Lanzarote better than I know my own city of Dublin 😂😂😂😂
Hehe. Thats great. We had a shopping trip on our list at the shopping centre but not enough time. We took our son to ride the camels instead but next time for sure. 😀
Oh your son will love the grand hotel and the castle ect.. Another reason for you to return at some stage 😅😊
I will be doing that walk a week on Monday :) great video as always.
Thanks for watching. Have a great time 😀
Thanks for the lovely video of Los Pocillos
My pleasure 😊
Thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe and like the video to help the channel grow. It will help me bring you many more videos. Also please note that you can get a bus to Playa Blanca and then catch the ferry to Corralejo for a day out. Recommended!
What’s the sea temperature in April?
It's the Atlantic so will be colder that the Med, but on the hot days, its refreshing when you dip your toe in
Hi there again Can’t wait for April when I will be coming
I'm jealous lol. Any room in your suitcase for me?
Keep the good job Been to Corallejo in Fuerteventura not recently though so if I am not mistaken there is a ferry connection between Puerto del carmen and Corralejo ? If yes probably it will be nice to visit for a day Corrralejo to see if it changed
@@kyriakoskaplanis5227 Unfortunately the ferry from Puerto Del Carmen has stopped and only available from Playa Blanca. Still manageable for a day out.
Thanks for letting me know Take care
I should be there in April
Just what you need to have a break after the winter months. Have a great time 😀
Thanks I subscribed to your channel for any future travel videos
Hi there again You said that to walk from Matagorda to puerto del carmen is around an hour? That’s good exercise anyway
They say walking is good exercise so I am going to do it I am thinking also to visit Arrecife Can you walk from Matagorda to Arrecife or is it too far?
Very good exercise
La geria stayed there for the 6th time came home last Sunday26 th one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in can't recommend it enough😎
You might have just tempted me 😀Glad you enjoyed your stay 😀
Was in there last year and I swear it was the worst steak I ever had, if I stayed for a week I’d be still chewing it
How did you have it cooked? I like mine medium and it came out perfectly but I appreciate steak is always down to personal choice/preference and everyone is different in what they like. Did you find any other place that was to your liking? Be good to hear about it 😀
Another great video, you're making me homesick for my favourite place Puerto del carmen Lanzarote and the Cinco plazas 😊 hope to get back April or early May and hopefully again in October. Are you still working in the travel business now? Sorry don’t know your first name to address you by. Cheers for now 👍 👋
Thank You 🥰. I think we are so similar in our love for the amazing island and resort of Puerto Del Carmen. I too wish I was there 😂. Also, I will reveal more including my name in the next series of videos which will be filmed very soon.
Hello just wondering is Puerto del carmen quite nightlife wise ? At the moment .thank you
Hi there…I’ve a few nightlife ones coming up soon. It’s very busy in the early evenings and can be busy until around midnight. But depends on the area and what type of nightlife you want. There are some live music venues spread around the resort along with bars with sporting events and entertainment. La Ola is also popular at night.
@@ExHolidayRepAdventures Thank you
What day was this filmed I went home on Sunday26 th after 9 brilliant nights love the place ,great video by the way😎
It was filmed in the first week of Jan. Glad you had a Brilliant Time😀
Great video thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you…..I appreciate it🙌🏾😀
We stay in Sol Lanzarote in matagorda every year! Love it and easy walk to PDC
Great Location. I’d stay there too. 😀
@@ExHolidayRepAdventuresso lovely to be right on the beach, it has amazing views! Look forward to watching the rest of your videos, good luck!
Thank you. I appreciate it. 😀
Cheers, were not long back from PDC, great holiday. Hope to revisit 3 times this year,we enjoy it so much. Thank you for your video which reminds us of all the wonderful restaurants we visited,👍
Hi all, Thanks for watching the video. Please note that the Ferry to Corralejo in Fuerteventura, NOW only departs from Playa Blanca. Please ignore my error in the video. Its such a shame that the service was cut from Puerto Del Carmen.
Jason there are 2 side streets you can use to avoid the hill up or down. Turn left before the supermarket and take the 1st right. Or cross the road and take the 1st right then swing a left. These areas bring you down to the strip and coming back takes the pressure off walking up the hill. Try it you'll be pleasantly surprised 😊
@@maryhession7501 if you are coming from the old town direction I'm afraid the hill coming back is very steep even if you cut along past spar. the other way is fine down the side of Dino, small hill but nothing major. as I said would stay again but get a taxi back. that's what we done most times especially at night after a stroll. going to PDC in 5 weeks can't wait. Gloria izaro club this time at the top of another hill.😂
Boats haven't gone to Fuertoventura from harbour for about 10 years
Thanks Michael. I’ve clearly got that bit wrong and have pinned a comment correcting the error.
Thought trips to Furerturventua leave from playa blanca as the bigger ships are used 🤔 The sea taxi waterbus leaves from old town PDC harbour to go to Puerto Calero, I could be wrong about furertuventa !
Unless this has changed recently there is the option to travel with Lineas Romero from Puerto Del Carmen. I've used them previously so would be a shame if the service had stopped.
Lineas Romero still runs the water bus taxi to Puerto Calero from old town harbour, and still operates the bigger ferry from the bigger harbour at playa blanca over to futertuventua and Los losbos island, they also do trips to la gratisicoa but they leave from the north of the island in Orsola, my spelling here are most likely wrong of some of these places 🤔😊👍
@@maryhession7501 My error completely. I got that wrong and have pinned a comment in the video. Such a shame that the service from Puerto Del Carmen stopped.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Ah great stuff was dying to see the inside of a one bed,as we only stayed in a studio. I'll definitely book a one bed now after seeing all the extra space. Very impressed with the two balconies, so if you want the sun or the shade you have the option of both. Thanks so much for sharing, hoping to get back to the Cinco plazas end of April "25 and again in October 😀🏝😎
That’s great to hear and Thanks Again for Watching. We really enjoyed the apartment…granted we were out a lot but in the afternoons, it was ideal to still have the sun if we needed on the balcony or just relax on the other side and enjoy the pool view with a drink. I’m sure you will have an amazing time on both visits. 🥰
Thanks so very much. You lived a good life as a travel rep and must have great memories. Nice for you to relive them again 👍
Thanks and Yes, I have a few funny stories to share in some videos from my next destination so keep watching. Also in the Lanzarote series there will be a small flashback to those days in one of the up and coming videos😀
Ah I'll look forward to watching. Do you know Dave Mr travelon himself and his wife are ex travel reps. They live in playa blanca the last 20 years. He runs trips and excursions he's on tiktok and UA-cam and does walk arounds in Lanzarote
Dave has a great channel and I enjoy their videos. I’ve never met Dave but have messaged and he told me he was a rep. Small world lol. I think we worked at different times tho.

Wow, remember Airtours! Nice series of videos ... I'm wondering/hoping you'll do a series along Playa Blanca as I'm heading there in May to the LaCala.
Hi and Thanks for the comment and glad you like the videos. On this trip Playa Bianca wasn’t included but I will be filming there again at some point. There are other Lanzarote Videos to come so don’t miss out on those and also another destination soon.

The small shopping square in Matagorda looking very tired and run down
el toro is very good steak house probably the best , at the top of the old town on a roundabout
Yes I agree. It is always popular and was busy each time I walked past it. I used to go there when I worked and lived in Lanzarote also and its a good choice. Thanks for watching.
@ExHolidayRepAdventures I love the old town in PDC always stay in villa alondra. Having a change this year and going playa blanca
@@johnbailey4618 Oh very nice. I know the Villa Alondras. A good quiet location but within easy access to the old town. Playa Blanca has a lovely walk along the promenade now from the port with lots of bars/restaurants and also has lovely views of Fuerteventura and Lobos from there. I may join you next time in changing to Playa Blanca, so I am close to pop over to Corralejo for the day. Have a great time when you go and thank you for watching.
Thanks for the video. We’re just back from PDC, stayed in Fariones Apartments. We didn’t visit La Cascade but did have an excellent steak the “My Kitchen by Julius” in the old town, would recommend a visit. 👍
That’s great to hear. It’s set in a lovely location of the Old Town too and always very popular ( and busy). I will be going to My Kitchen By Julius next time I visit. 😀
Cheers a nice video of the old town, the biosphere shopping centre is great, and there is a lift ,remember getting it at McDonald's there,down to the ground floor. 😊
Thanks for the tip. It really is a good shopping centre.
Didn't show the inside of the apartment to see what their like
Hi and Thanks for watching. The Apartment Tour is coming in another video so keep a lookout for that one VERY SOON 😀
Room View ? Anyone
Hi Ian. An Apartment Tour video is coming very soon. Depending on where you are located in the complex, you get varied views, not all with a pool view.
Great video as always.
Great having a wee chat Ian. Thanks for watching😃
Hi and Welcome to the video. Leave a comment below if you have visited Lanzarote or not and if you have memories of a holiday rep from your past trips. Thanks for watching.
I mentioned earlier what a wonderful complex Cinco Plaza is, I would recommend it 100%. My only concern is (being in my 70's😊) the hill up to reach the complex. I have checked online and it seems a bus is not available Would you know how much a taxi would be from the main Playa Grande area to complex. Many thanks.
The reception are very helpful in calling you a taxi, and I regularly took one to the Old Town area which was around 4-5 Euros. I would say that it would be around 3 Euros approx to get you to Playa Grande...but just bear in mind that the taxi's get busy around peak times so you may have a little wait. When I say peak times, this is mainly around the evening for people going out for meals.
That was really helpful and I enjoy all your posts.
@ You are so welcome and Thank you. 🤗
Great video, stayed here mid December, everything was perfect, spotless clean, friendly and helpful staff, near everything but still very quiet. Would definitely recommend it.
@@ImeldaUA-cam-xj1oc Thank you for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. I’d go back there with no hesitation. Keep watching for a room review coming soon along with other videos from the resort😀
Its a great area for walking 🚶♀️ and getting your steps in. We walked from PDC up past los pocillos then onto Matagorda. Approximately 5.5 kilometers, we got a taxi back 😅 Stayed in the sal Lanzarote about 35 years ago a lovely complex id agree.
@@maryhession7501 Yes I agree. Great for walking and getting the steps in. I got a taxi a few times in the evening as I walked a lot during the day. Wish I was there now 😂
Great video thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for watching. Have you stayed at the Cinco Plazas or are you planning on visiting? Keep a look out for the 1 Bedroom apartment room tour from the Cinco Plazas also coming soon on my channel along with others and hopefully you find it helpful.
Hi and Thanks for watching. This is a quick video on La Cascada Steakhouse, located in the Old Town of Puerto Del Carmen. I went there on the first night we arrived and had a T-bone steak (29 Euros), My wife had a Rump Steak and our son had a chicken breast. It was so busy and we had to wait to get a table BUT it was so worth the wait. As a result I forgot to film. We enjoyed the meal so much we decided that as there was so much choice, we would come again the following night. We ended up coming for 2 more nights and a lunch time meal one day because we enjoyed the steaks. Unfortunately I was so carried away by the food that I forgot to record a full video from one night so this video is a mix of a few days, eating at La Cascada. I will certainly be visiting the restaurant again when I return to Lanzarote. Enjoy the video
Great video, stayed here for the 1st time for 2 weeks in December from the 5th to 19th with my adult daughter. We had a studio apartment facing the road,which didn't bother us as we were up and out wandering everyday. It was a fabulous sunny balcony and we found the studio was plenty big for 2 adults. We loved the complex and as you say the staff are so helpful and friendly. It's in an ideal location, just 4 mins walk to the beach front 😍 We enjoyed it that much that we are rebooking for April and again for October and possibly Christmas if finances allow 😀 I'd highly recommend the cinco plazas apartments and I've stayed in various other apartments down through the years,but really fell in love with this particular spot. Thanks for sharing your video ,appreciate it 😀 👍👏
@@maryhession7501 Thank you for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’ve not been back long and also thinking about booking again lol. It’s a great complex with so much close to you. We were all out daily too. Watch out for more videos coming from the resort and also a room review so you can see what the one bedroom apartment looks like also. 🥰
I'll definitely keep watch as im considering booking a 1 bed next time, just for that extra bit of space, but in fairness the studio apartments were also lovely and clean and big enough certainly for 1 or 2 people. Im 65 years old now so may go for a ground floor 1 bed,save the old legs 😂❤
We stayed in matagorda in November much prefer the PDC strip area bit quiet in matagorda for us Great video thanks for sharing 👍
Personally I prefer the same as you but I’ve also stayed in Matagorda and enjoyed it, but always getting myself towards the centre and also the old town. Thanks for watching 😀
Great video heading in february 1st time matagorda
@ Thanks for watching. I’m jealous lol. I was looking for some deals again haha. You’ll have a great time 😀. Look out for some more videos coming tomorrow and Saturday 😀
Came back yesterday and I disagree the main strip in PDC was rowdy full of tacky pubs and karaoke bars. Matagorda far far better
Thank you all so much for watching and supporting this video! 🙌 Your feedback and insights mean the world to me, so let me know your thoughts or any questions in the comments below. 💬 I’d love to hear if there’s a topic you'd like me to cover next. Let’s keep the conversation going! DON'T MISS THE ROOM TOUR ua-cam.com/video/3M33HIKTEiQ/v-deo.html
Enjoyed this video, going to matagorda in February then puerto del carmen in September
Thank you Ian. You’ll have a great time in both locations and both really good times of the year to go 😀.
@@ExHolidayRepAdventures Cheers, been going for a few years now so always look for video's. Bit advice if your going to do full time. Menu prices is a must. Reviews can come after :)
Thank you and I appreciate the feedback. I have a few other videos with menu prices coming up but will definitely bear it in mind
