Thank you Andy, that is really useful information, not ready to book yet, but will do a few searches on the site to get in the mood. It would also only be for two people and we would have a car as well mainly just for the airport transfer and a big shop, then eat out.

We have been to Lanzarote a couple of times once on spring bank holiday week and once in October staying in apartments on complexes as the time. But would prefer a Villa now provided good access to restaurants for the evening.

Sounds like you have a bargain on both the villa and the flights

Re: HOLIDAY COUNTDOWN ... Who's going where & when ?

Look on Los Calamares. Only minutes into town, and for the Superdino for shopping. Villas aren't new build. They were about the first constructed, and for residential purposes. They're all different, and because they're not new build you great more space both outside and in. Lots are still residential. The ones we stay in (next door but one to each other) are residential on both sides (Italian and Spanish). Not that we ever hear them because the villas are on such big plots.

Re: HOLIDAY COUNTDOWN ... Who's going where & when ?

Thanks sunaddict are Los Calamares also available on the same websites as Faro Park? I did notice that Faro Park is a long way out (not necessarily a huge issue) but I was balancing that against the fact that the Villas seem to be on largish plots. Whereas I have read that the ones behind the Marina are really claustrophobic and on tiny plots with everyone overlooking each other, I don't really know Playa Blanca well enough to make an informed decision as only did the odd day trip there when at the other 2 resorts.

Just booked Ryanair for March, don't know where we're staying yet, looking at hotels or villas in PB. Atlantic Gardens or Rubimar are favourites for hotels but possibly a wee villa on Las Brisas if the price is right.

Back to Tunisia on 3rd May for a couple of weeks and really lookiing forward to some decent weather, as well as meeting up with old friends. Compared to other places our weather in Essex hasn't been that bad, as we've not had snow and I've only had my garden flooded a few times. I feel desperately sorry for those who've already lost their homes and businesses, with no let-up in sight.

Re: HOLIDAY COUNTDOWN ... Who's going where & when ?

Hello Lensman 2002,congrats on the birthday and thanks for the information,we have booked the Bluebay Resort in Costa Tequise which is all inclusive but we do try to explore/visit the local area as it too far to travel not to!
You said it was very windy when you were there,but was it warm?

Thanks again

Alan :cheers

Four days until my holiday in Playa Blanca. Can't wait, it's been a good fifteen years since I was last there.

Have a brilliant time Pippy, your views look amazing!

We've booked Playa Blanca for next year in a villa so will be looking forward to what you think about the area after your long absence.

12 weeks to the day I'll be off to Santiago de Cuba with my nieces - in fact we'll probably be on the road from Holguin and after dinner in our Casa Particulares we'll be off to have the first mojito of the holiday on the terrace of the Casa Grande. As it will be the 50th anniversary of Che Guevara's death in Bolivia I'm sure we'll be raising a glass or two to his memory that evening ;-)
