Arrived in the afternoon transfer was about half hour so not bad, the hotel is spottles and the entertainment was excellent for the kids and us adults.

If you are booking this hotel i would definately say dont go all-inclusive because there is no choice what so ever and the bread you could knock someone out with!

We had to eat out every day which you shouldn't have to do if you've booked all-inclusive. The maids do a great job and the towels changed every day. Holiday village was a lovely place to stay, the only one thing that let it down was the food.

We have just returned from 1 week at sun tropical and we had a brilliant time!!
The apartments were clean as a whistle no complaints there.Only problem is not many channels on the tv in english only cnn and eurosport you have to pay at reception for more english channels.
The bufet for children was fantastic loads of choice for them ant the adults choices were limited but of good quality.
The walk to the beach is a good 15mins so it best to bet a pass for the back gate it costs 10euros which you get back when you return the card.
Night time entertainment was good but very repetative the reps show expodus was brilliant!!!
We would definatly go back again we wish we had of stayed for two weeks including my 16month old son who loved the night time entertainment and t baby pools!

I just arrived back this morning from the holiday village in lanzarote and I found my stay very enjoyable. It was a pity we only stayed for a week as I would have liked to have stayed longer.

I thought the hotel was very clean and the surroundings were well looked after and well kept.

The entertainment was fantastic and I really enjoyed watching holly and Allie perform I miss them and all the fun they made the holiday have I would like to visit the resort again soon but am unable to.

I had a fabulous time and really Miss Allie and holly. :(

We went self catering with our two sons aged 8 and 10.
The hotel was clean and basic and staff were most helpful and friendly.

As we were self catering we took the option of eating off site most evenings but enjoyed the snacks during the day. Taxis to and from Playa Blanca were only 2-3 euro - great value .However we did eat in two evening and found food pretty basic and lacks trimmings e.g salad

Having never visted a holiday village before I was amazed with the size of the complex.

However I thought it was too scattered and there was no central meeting place where kids could mix with and make new friends - especially my 11 year old who is a little shy.

My 8 year old loved the Kids Club and the Stagecoach.

However I thought that it would have been nice to have little fun competitions during the day or during the kids disco and present the kids with certificates on stage as they love this.

Must say huge thank you to kids club troops who gave my son a great night on his 8th birthday and were always in great spirits and fun loving and really seems to love their job. Well done!

Just returned from an all inclusive holiday to Holiday Village. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience for the whole family.

The holiday village is very well maintained, the rooms are clean, basic but functional and the grounds and pool area are lovely.

The food was fine, a bit disappointing though.The breakfasts were very good indeed,standard fried breakfast and continental choices. The lunches and evening meals were basically what I'd describe as good quality canteen type food and definitely geared for children's taste buds and seeing as it's a holiday village that's ok with me.

All inclusive entitled us to a night in the Spanish grill(ex Tex Mex) and that was absolutely fine and I enjoyed a tasty fish dish, however the pizzeria was not particularly good and I wouldn't recommend it.

The Hotel location was a bit too far back from Playa Blanca itself and removed from beach areas.Having said that,there was so much going on within the walls of the village we didn't really feel the need to venture into town regularly.

Staff were genuinely excellent,from reception to reps, bar staff and entertainment staff.Everyone made you feel so welcome and the staff in the restaurants were superb.The acoustics in the dome give you a feeling of being in a church, but the entertainment crew worked so hard and did a very good job.

The soccer school in particular was the highlight of the holiday for the kids and the Bugs Bunny and Wavelength clubs seemed to be very well run and managed with lots of enjoyable activities to suit children of all ages.

It was also quieter than expected,the village seems to be able to cater for a busy Easter influx while still feeling relaxed and not over crowded.I expected hoardes of noisy marauding children and was pleasantly surprised to find a relaxed family atmosphere and would have no hesitation in returning again.

What can I say, how anybody can call this hotel, the staff, the food, and the hotel were excellent.

The staff were all very helpful and friendly and the food, well lets just say my daughter is a very fussy eater at home but she eat everything that was put in front of her, and my partner and myself have gained 1/2 stone in weight in just one week.

I am at the moment looking on First Choice web page to book another week next year.

We have just returned from a week at the Sun Tropical, and what a fabulous time we had. The whole complex was very clean.

The First Choice reps were friendly and always to hand should you need them. The day and evening entertainment team were excellent with something for everyone.
The buffet was not the biggest I've encountered but all the food was well prepared and varied, we went all inclusive and were never stuck for something nice to eat.

The beach is about a 20 min walk but there is a free bus every hour to take you there.

All in all a great holiday and we would not hesitate to return, at the right price may I add, we booked a late deal and paid half the book price. Pay no heed to the negative reports on this hotel complex.

We have just come back from the Sun Tropical.

I highly recommend these apartments for a holiday. Its a village style complex and is fully enclosed which is great if you have kids from a security point of view.

Staff are very friendly and helpful also the reps are excellent. You can get a swipe card to get you out the back gate for 5 euros at any time. It is a necessity as if you are going down to the beach or down to the promenade in Playa Blanca for something to eat.

Rooms are ok. The major fault with the rooms are that they are only two single beds and a couch with a pull out base. Kids slept in single beds. Wife slept on couch bed and I slept on pull out base. You would get away with it for a week but for two weeks it gets a bit uncomfortable.

Entertainment in complex is completely geared up for kids which is a good thing. Entertainment is held in the dome but from an adults point of view it gets very boring after a couple of nights.

Playa Blanca beach is lovely. It is a white sandy beach and plenty of restaurants along the promenade. The chinese food is lovely and very cheap.

If you walk to the end of the promenade you can get a boat trip to Fuerteventura for the day. It is a 45 min trip higly recommended. Down where you get the boat for Fuerteventura there is an Irish bar where the food is excellent staff very friendly and they show all the gaa games and priemiership games.

Talking to a few people who stayed in Puerto del Carmen they much preferred Playa Blanca as it is less commercialised and very laid back and the beach and vicinty much nicer and safer for families. Most of the days they spent in Playa Blanca.

Taxi ride from Playa Blanca to Puuerto del Carment was 25 euros. W went on two of the days organised by sun tropical. We went on the submarine trip. Definitely wasnt worth the money. It was roughlay 150 euros for a 45 minute trip . Saw very little fish down below. Second trip we went on was the Rancho Texas night. Highly recommended. Book early as it is most popular night night out. It starts at 8 and finishes at 12. It costs about 150 euros but you are fed and given free beer for the night. Kids loved this night out . It involves line dancing face painting country music carriage rides for kids playing in teepees dancing kids getting pictures taken with cowboys they will sleep after this night out. Kids are given also free minerals for the night.

If going to Lanzarote with a family Sun Tropical in Playa Blanca is the place to go to you wont be disappointed.

Guarantee you will keep going back

All in all a nice hotel.

Rooms were a little basic but had everything you needed and were cleaned on a daily basis.

There was always something to do for the children, the reps were extremely friendly and went out of their way to make the holiday as enjoyable as possible. The evening entertainment got a little repetitive but again, the children were happy enough.

Would certainly recommend this holiday to anyone with younger children looking for a relaxing break.

We stayed for Christmas and New Year and couldn't really fault the hotel.

If you have kids it's fantastic the kids club reps are brill especially John, my 7yr old thought he was great.

Only fault I had was night entertainment could have been better.
