Sandos Atlantic Gardens

Well, I have just returned on Monday from a week's holiday here. We're a couple in our 30s and 40s. We absolutely loved it. It was quiet, which is just how we wanted it. We had a sea view bungalow 326 or 236 ha. Was it looking a bit tired? Yes. Was it immaculately clean though? Yes it was. The cleaners, wow what a great job. In your room, fresh towels, bedding made up / changed daily. Staff, absolutely brilliant. Big shout out to diego in the bar, what a guy. Great Selection of drinks and great servie during the day and evening. The food? I was blown away. Never had a bad meal, everything was of very good quality. Those who have complained about it, are complaining over personal taste and wants not what was actually available. Selection of food, was pretty varied for lunch and dinner but staples stayed, such as your chips and stuff. As for breakfast, always spot on. If you want english bacon and sausages, stay at home. Youre in lanzarote, things are slightly different. Anyway, pool area was great, loads of beds stacked if you wanted some, yes people got up early to put towels down, both pools were immaculate, one normal pool, one sea water pool so you do get temperature changes. lifeguard ruled with an iron fist (my hero) if you're going to break the rules then you will be spoken to. It's a non smoking / vaping area, as a smoker i don't mind that. There's a smoking area in the corner. No music, great. Not everyone likes other peoples music. We honestly had such a good time, Peace and tranquility. It's a 3 star hotel, but a 3 star hotel I'd go back to time and time again over 4* I've stayed in over the years. You're about a 20 min walk from playa blanca, I'd suggest you hire a car. We paid €120 for 6 days hire, went all over the island, parked in front of the hotel. My biggest annoyance of this hotel, was leaving on the coach to the airport. You want a lively hotel with screaming kids? Go to one of the others. You want a relaxing holiday with respectful guests and very very attentive staff? Come here. Once again, the staff i take my hat off to you. I didn't once meet a member of staff that wasn't great. All extremely polite and hard working. The hotel entertainment? I wasn't really paying attention, we usually met other people and sat outside and it was background noise to us chatting and putting the world to rights.

My friend and I were after a relaxed chilled holiday and that’s exactly what we got. We arrived late to the hotel and had missed dinner, but the lovely staff had left out a cold buffet selection for us which was much appreciated. The staff were lovely, the atmosphere was chilled and the gardens were beautiful. We really appreciated that there was recycling and eco gardens. The drinks and food were brilliant. The hotel also has 3 beautiful cats that are well looked after; it became part of our routine to look for them each day. This fitted in with the way the street cats are looked after along the front and was heartwarming to see. 100% would stay again-thank you for a wonderful holiday!
