The Colony Club in Lanzarote is a mainly residential complex. It is slightly tired and if you are booking any appartment starting with one care has to be taken as the view is blocked by a hotel/office/shopping building complex. To get any view one needs to be on the east side of the main steps.

There is no one around most of the time so the place is more or less deserted.

The appartments have a glass roof, which acts a bit like an oven when the sun is out and really steep stairs down to the bedrooms which are underground with no windows. These appartments are totally unsuitable for children and to be honest there are so many better appartments on offer in beautifully kept complexes I can see absolutely no reason to go to the Colony Club except if you are living in Lanzarote and are offered an appartment at a very cheap rent.

We also stayed in appt 313 Colony Club, I was quite disappointed by the condition of the appartment. Definately not suitable for a family with young children. Stairs are very steep. The glass roof and patio doors were well past their sell by date. The appartment was adaquately decorated, but could certainly do with an up-grade. We also had a problem with ants - they were everywhere! Wouldn't book this particular appt again, but love lanzarote! Great restaurants & the people are so friendly.

We spent the first two weeks of February in Apt 313 Colony Club and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. As we have two small kids we were initially nervous about the stairs but both we and kids overcame this. Despite earlier comments this Apt is very clean and serviced regularly and efficently by a very good management company and cleaner. Extremely spacious, bright and very generously furnished and fitted. It was a pleasure to cook and eat in a few nights. Wash-machine, TV, DVD player & CD player certainly a big bonus especially to a family. Complex, pool area(older sun-loungers ok) is quite & cleaned daily. Prime location to both beach and Oldtown. Only criticism was the pre-arranged taxi from airport works out much more expensive than normal taxi but hey this doesn't tip the scales!! We have no hesitation recommending this complex and especially Apt 313.

My family, 2adults and two girls aged 14 & 18 have just returned from a wonderful week in Lanzarote staying at the Colony Club, apartment No.110. The apartment was very clean when we arrived, everything we could have wished for was there, including clean bedding & towels changed midweek, decoration was fine and as the owners agree the kitchen may need some updating soon, but everything was in working order. TV including limited Sky channels, video & DVD player were all available. The swimming pool was available and was being used by some visitors but we preferred the beach. Location was superb, only a couple of minutes walk to the Playa Blanca beach. Overall highly recommendable
