Playa Blanca Beach Mate

We booked our holiday with Jet2 which was a package holiday, included the Villa, flights and car hire. We had an amazing time!! The villa’s are lovely and clean and spacious. Can not fault them at all. They are also quite private, not overlooked onto the next Villa . We stayed in Villa number 4 which is in the gated area, felt really safe and secure. The villa has wifi which worked perfectly but on the last two days they were having technical problems which was a pain as I had not data on my mobile. I would 100% recommend these villa’s and we can’t wait to return for our next holiday. Thank you so much Beach Mate Villa’s for an amazing stay. :)

We arrived to the villa late and driving up to the villa made me anxious as it was like driving up through the ghetto with lots of abandoned houses around us . When we got to the villa , we were looking forward to our ‘ welcome pack ‘ there wasn’t one left for us and sadly there was no shops open near us ( we eventually found some ‘ welcome items in an ikea bag ‘ The villa itself was clean , there were some minor maintenance issues such as loose plug sockets / cracked tiles / loose shelving but none of this affected the use of the villa . There was a nice BBQ area which we used . The kitchen wasn’t that well equipped it was fairly basic , again didn’t affect us that much as we mostly ate out . The pool area was good our kids loved it but it’s not covered and does get dirty with all the sand etc . We stayed for 10 nights and the pool was only checked once 2 days after we arrived . By the end of the stay the pool was looking pretty manky . There is no air conditioning at this property , we thought this would be ok as fans were supplied but we were sooo wrong ! Lanzarote had extremely high temps for the time of year and it was like sleeping in satans armpit at times . The shop / supermarket is about a 10 minute walk away the marina roughly about 20/25 mins away , probably ok if adults or older kids my kids just moaned the whole time because of the heat ! We ended up hiring a car which I would recommend for this villa . When you are in the villa the area is quiet and you don’t see the abandoned unfinished properties around you unless you go out into your balcony . The walk from the villa into marina / shops isn’t the most pleasant as the path / road down is literally covered in cat and dog excrement , so much so we named it cat s£@t alley , it’s not the most pleasant smelling when it’s hot ! Again you don’t smell this from the villa . All in all our stay here was ok and we did have an enjoyable holiday ,however I wouldn’t book again due to location and no air conditioning.

Just had a week in one of these Villas, it was spotlessly clean, well equipped and in a great location (Yes there are a lot of unfinished Villas but have a walk out and there are many more than those surrounding the Villa). Two supermarkets with 5-10 mins walk, a small bar and a Cafe. Location provides for a lovely walk along the sea front path to the Marina 15-20 mins or if you like the Centre another 15-20 mins further. We had late flights and after speaking to Ana late checkout was arranged. We are already planning our return. Hopefully at some point in the near future work will start on finishing more of the unfinished Villas. A great holiday was had by all of us, thanks Beach Mate!

We stayed in villa number 8 for two weeks in July 22. The villa was easy to find and has really good facilities with everything you could need.. There was good WiFi that supported 3 Netflix sessions at once without issue, the pool was really nice and really comfortable with plenty sun beds and shade. There's also an outdoor sofa which is constantly in the shade so really good to cool off from the daytime heat. The villa is located about a 10 min drive from playa Blanca and I'd definitely recommend a car if you're staying here, especially if you have kids that won't walk far. There's a lovely walk along the promenade with starts only a 5 minute walk away, it takes about 30 minutes to walk to the centre of the town from the villa. There's two good super markets within walking distance from the villa. Looking at other reviews before we came we were worried about security at the villa, however it's a gated complex and the villa has a house alarm so it was never an issue. Also there are some half built villas in the area but nothing that would be an issue. Finally, customer service from Anna and George was excellent with any minor issues quickly resolved. We look forward to returning in the future.

Booked back in 2019 to go in 2020 but it got cancelled and moved another 3 times due to Covid! The villa company were really nice and let us keep moving the dates free of charge, we finally went in October 2021. Originally there were more of us going but it ended up just my hubby and I. Lovely villa, not perfect but everything we could want for a lovely week and the weather was beautiful. We walked down to the marina every morning for a coffee and then back by the lovely pool for the day then we’d either walk to the marina for a meal at night or on to the town which wasn’t much further or we’d get a taxi cuz they were cheap enough! We had a lovely week, it was really sad seeing all the part built villas around and it was like a building site opposite the front of the villa but it didn’t spoil our holiday, we loved it and we were very grateful to Playa Blanca Beachmate for letting us move our booking so many times at no extra cost.

The villa was excellent, everything needed for a couple, couples or family. Garden and pool excellent as were the rooms and bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen etc. If there is a down side, it’s located in village of unfinished villas, although a short walk to a little very basic friendly bar, and two supermarkets. Short walk to promenade, 20 minutes to Marina Rubicon, plus a nearer but smaller area of shops, bars and restaurants/tapas bars. There is a bus service to playa Blanca or a Taxi cheap enough. We have stayed here on two occasions and will definitely return.
