We just got back yesterday and had a brilliant week!
The staff were great - very smiley& helpful and the lady serving pancakes in the morning always had a big grin on her face 'Bon Appetito!!'
The food choice was super: fruit, pancakes, ham, fry-ups for breakfast, selection of salads, hot food and pizza in the evening plus loads more- would definately advise you pay a bit more to stay All Inclusive.
The hotel was very clean all the time and the maid came round 4 times.
As other reviews say, the hotel is a 20 minute walk to the main strip in town, but we enjoyed the exercise after all the yummy food. Also, if you look on the map you can cut through on Lanzerote Street to walk to town via the beaches. This also brings you out near Waikiki restaurant/bar which served lovely fresh food and nice cocktails.
The slight downsides are: the pools were freezing other than the kids pool!
The free coffee wasn't very nice. We were happy to pay for the proper stuff from the pool bar - however, they seemed to have a strange zero tolerance policy - it could only be served at breakfast and even then the guy didn't seem too pleased to make it!
Our apartment was ok but we had a completely empty second room and although we looked out at the pool we had no balcony. Minor issue but water came under the door in the storm too! All in all not major problems at all so don't let this put you off.
We hired a car from Rent a Car which was probably the cheapest (30 euros a day for a Micra) but it was falling apart- maybe pay more elsewhere?
Surf hire would probably be cheaper in Correlejo than El Cotillo too. Oh and eventually we found out that the town is pronounced 'Corr-ell-ekko'
We looked at a lot of reviews before settling on this hotel and we made the right choice-I would definately recommend staying here!
