We stayed here for the last night of our holiday, after a week self catering - Good base for visiting dramatic western coastline. We were upgraded to a suite which was fantastic, great big wooden shuttered windows, views of the mountains, a terrace and lovely old furniture - I kept expecting some Spanish colonial era aristocrats to waltz in at any moment. The staff were helpful, I only wish I spoke better Spanish to have found out more about the history of the building. The food in the restaurant was amazing, we had a special 6 small course menu of delightful specialities: on a two for one January deal it was affordable. Breakfast also great, cooked and buffet and lots of pastries and coffee. If you want to stay somewhere a bit different come here, if you want a shiny modern hotel or Irish bars and full English breakfasts, maybe not for you.

When we arrived at the hotel we were tired and in need of a good nights sleep and having not reseved in advance, we were relieved that there were rooms available. Although we had an issue with our first room being damp, management dealt with this swiftly and proffessionally and we were moved to a very pleasant room which was clean and comfortable. We did not expect the complimentary cava that accompanied the move but it was much appreciated and made our stay even more enjoyable. Breakfast was a feast but the coffee needs to catch up to the quality of the rest of the buffet . Overall the staff were pleasant and helpful. We liked the rustic, light and airy salon and would have enjoyed spending more time there .

We were booked for 7 nights from 31 october and found the hotel and rooms most comfortable and a great base to travel from. Car hire is a must, though our tour operator Thomas Cook didnt advise us. Luckily, I had researched quite a lot and realised this in advance. There was a mixed type of people staying at the hotel, some were only there for one or two nights and keen walkers or cyclists, as this is very near the national
park. Others like us were there for a week. The town itself has two very good restaurants, and couple which looked interesting but were closed (possibly due to the time of year), but the hotel itself has a really good restaurant and bodega, serving excellent food. The breakfast we found very good and every morning if you chose, you could have your choice of eggs and bacon as well as a buffet style selection. All the staff were very attentive and Simone on the reception is extremely helpful. My partner wasnt too well in the first couple of days and she was able to give advice regarding doctors etc. Our only negative aspect of this week was that the pool wasnt heated and was so cold that I only saw two people use it the whole week, one of whom was my partner.
This is a really lovely, quirky and enjoyable hotel with great artwork in all the rooms and public areas. It is also a great base for exploring Lanzarote and we would definitely return here and recommend to others.

My husband and I did a lot of research before our week-long trip to Lanzarote (last holiday before birth of first child in January 2011). We wanted to avoid any tacky resort-type places so booked 2 nights at Finca de las Salinas as it's off the beaten track a bit but still looked well equipped. We were really disappointed on arrival - it would have been ok 20 years ago, but now needs a serious overhaul. The new spa was half finished and although they were offering treatments, i could never find a member of staff to ask about them. The communal areas need re-decorating and they need to employ a gardner and pool cleaner - the whole pool area was dirty and untidy. Staff couldn't really care less and the food at b'fast was very poor with no replenishment by staff. At half the price i might not have felt so aggrieved but we stayed at some cheaper places which were far more pleasant.
