This was our 3rd time staying at the Oceano and I have to say we enjoyed every minute of our stay, our aunt is Downsyndrom and there were great facilities for her to get around and all staff were really helpful especially Mo and Suzanne, they give the apartments a lovely, friendly environment! They make a great Fry too! We will hopefully be returning in October this year again! Defo recommend for a relaxed holiday!

" Not Clean "
Submitted By: 43mercer
On our arrival we had to get the apartment fridge re-cleaned it was full of dried peanuts and very dirty. The following day the wall in the kitchen area and under the bed was crawling with ants. These apartments are very tired looking and in need of redecoration. They are not 3 star rated given by Thomas Cook.
Advice: A pleasant resort with plenty of restaurants and bars
Activities: Hammys is good for breakfast and snacks. Playa Blanca marina worth a visit
Good for: Beach

" Oceano Stay "
Submitted By: birkiesean
We visited Costa Teguise for the third time in December 2008.As a consequence of a flight company going bust we had to switch to Oceano Apartments.The rooms were a fine size and the actual room was kept fairly clean.The shower and kitchen facilities were fit for purpose.
From here onwards I can only be critical through faint praise ,because the room we were allocated was directly above a noisy bar and the balcony was being used by cats for the purpose of defication and urination.It was extremely unpleasant.
At the welcome meeting we infromed the Thomas Cook rep that we had problems with our room/balcony.He immediately side stepped the question and said 'I'l speak to you after the presentation'.He never did.Several days into the holiday after our request to reception to be moved away from the bar area could not be met,I spoke further to the Rep and took him up to the room to outline the nature of our complaints.He responded later in the day by telling us he couldn't meet our request to be moved unfortunately.However,by way of compensation he told us have a slap up meal at Thomas Cook's expense up to the value of 50 Euro.Very kind we thought.But the Rep never followed through with his promise to reimburse us for the cost of the meal.(44 Euro). We feel let down by the Thomas Cook rep.Room 106 is was WELL BELOW acceptable standards.
I have to say that the other apartments looked fine and the reception staff etc were very friendly.The only criticism I would have of the pool area was the lack of cleaning with regard to poolside tables.
In summary I suppose our review is based on two main weaknesses in the service we received.Firstly,an inability to provide adequate alternative accommodation within the complex.Secondly,the extremely poor customer service from the tour operator rep.He was a nice lad,very personable,good jokes at the welcome meeting,but his inattention to detail cost us 44 Euro.Bad show.

" Holidays are what you make them ! "
Submitted By: MissDufaur
We have just come back from a weeks break at Oceana apartments. Its the most relaxed and friendly atmostphere I have experienced on a holiday. The people are very obliging, from reception to Mo and Susannah who run the pool bar. Music is played all day to a variety of tastes, there is a pool table and tennis table available should you wish to have a break from sunbathing. We met many guests who have repeatedly returned there year after year as its so convenient to everywhere, the beach, spanish square, and shops are all within 5 minutes. Rooms are clean and spacious. Overall holidays are what you make them and we made some super friends and have already agreed to return next year. Super for couples who like a laugh and can relax.

" Firstly with my rating It was hard... "
Submitted By: Mr C Phillips
Firstly with my rating It was hard choice to make. Myself and my wife arrived very late on August 21st 2008 for a 2 week stay. Based on recommendation from parents who also booked same holiday after been previous 2 years, we were very confused and somewhat disappointed in what we had built ourselves up for. At first impressions we were happy with our room and although this was to change over the fortnight....it was cleaned every 2 days with towel change and 4 days for bedding. For self catering we expected basic, but we soon found out that having cooker on plus oven, did blow electrics in room...not good when trying to cook meals. Bathroom was clean and although shower pressure was low at times we did find out that at certain times it was actually ok and had hot water available when needed although short in supply. Terrace was big and we had our own table and chairs but we did notice that it was getting very dirty with bird droppings and other dust etc to which we noticed wasnt been cleaned as regular as the rooms were ( once only in 2 weeks stay it was swept ). As for comfort at night this was what swayed our decision towards overall rating, noise was a big factor. Rooms very thin i believe, and could pretty much hear all bar music to all hours in morning and sometimes quite disturbingly neighbours in ajoining rooms or above! to which led to a lot of restless nights with no sleep.
Facilities in complex were ok and what you would expect....pool, bar and toilets. Loungers were available but if really busy were hard to come by in peak times. Pool and surrounding area was cleaned every day but did notice toilets were blocked regularly but rectified when brought to attention! Bar and Staff were what you can expect also....Friendly, clean and good quick food and drinks although like i will mention near end, up there with being borderline expensive but were irregular with their opening hours. We can understand peoples complaints with lack of certain access or services ie. help towards rooms and stairs etc.
As for resort this is what was suprisingly disappointing for us. Yes there was 2 beaches both 5 mins walk away and restaurants all around but if i wanted to experience spanish culture and food, there were none and somewhat resembled Blackpool with sun!!! We felt it was tacky and expensive to eat out, even to have drinks etc every night and were met with whole load of Chinese restaurants and both British pubs and restaurants ( not good for trying local cuisine ). Gift shops were very poor and all same although each had their own way of ripping off tourists with stupid prices for things! Plus our point through experience unfortunately, we found a lot of sleaze towards women!
Overall we wont be returning to Lanzarote!!!!!! Very highly over rated!!!!!!

WOW!
This place is amazing! If you want a really chilled out holiday with loads of restaurants, a few bars and a beach 5 minutes away this really is the place. You are in the middle of Costa Teguise and everything is walking distance. The hotel was fantastic, very clean and well maintained. Our room was a studio and it was fantastic. The pool was great, lovely and cold for the hot days! Sun beds are not a problem as there are plenty and Mo and Susannah were lovely and really made our first holiday in Lanzarote great. Would definately go back, ignore all bad reports, it's better than a 2*!!!

" If you are looking to just sit and... "
Submitted By: Miss Z Chanas
If you are looking to just sit and relax on the beach for a week or two this hotel is great. The rooms are basic but have everything you could need, a frige to keep you water cold and if you dont fancey going out to eat there is a hob, oven and some cooking equipment. There is a TV however you have to pay for it and pay a deposit for the remote....but you dont go on holiday to watch TV! The bathroom was good, however choose to have your showers at a 'not too busy time' i found only once when i tried to shower at about 5.00pm there was no hot water and had to wash using the sink, but then 10 min later my boyfriend was able to have a nice hot shower! Also if you like to wash you sandy feet off in the beday there is one however, ours did not work. The hotel is in a great location as it is just round the corner from all the bars and restrants and also the beach!!! The hotel is kept very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. If you dont fancey getting sandy down the beach the pool is good, i dont think its heated but it is slightly warmer than the sea and is refreshing. It is also salt water pool i think. I found that most of the other guest at the hotel where either young couples like myself around the ages of 20-30 or older couples around the ages of 45-70. I didnt see any familys staying at the time i was there.
I recomened to anyone going to do some of the days out, we did the rancho texas night and the national park and loved them both.
On our last day the hotel staff where very good in that we had to be out our room by 12 but we were not being picked up to be taken to the airport till 7 so we where able to use a room for half an hour in the everning to shower and change so that the day was not wasted waiting around to leave we were able spend the day by the pool relaxing.
Overall you pay for what you get, and for the money staying here you get all you need and as i said great location as its not right over any bars so that it is loud at night but it is only a 5 min walk if you want to go to the bars.
The only thing i would say is watch out for Thomas Cook. They did not charge for extra on our luggage going out but comming back our bags weighed the same and i got charged 3 x 9 euros so 27 euros for my bag being to heavy on the way home and i wasn't the only one they wont let anyone past so be warned or you might find yourself on the airport floor desperatly trying to take things out of your bag and into you hand luggage!!!

Submitted By: Miss N J Rawlins
We stayed at Los Lentiscos for 2 weeks and would definetely go again. Apatrments very clean and spacious, maid came 4 times a week to change linen and towels and had superb kitchenette facilities.
The pool was a lovely size, with 2 childrens pools also. There was always plenty to do during day with endless pool activities and the daily quiz.
Pool side bar was lovely for drinks and light snacks and was very well priced(cheap!!).
Very close to numerous bars and restaurants with plenty of nightlife in the square, which I highly reccommend.
The best bar for meals, drinks and friendly service was without a doubt Castaways!!! Best for english fry up.
Was such a good holiday have booked to go back next year!!!!

Submitted By: Miss C Vince
Overall I was very happy with these apartments. The rooms were spacious and clean and the maid came 3 times a week to clean, change towels and empty the bins. It was quite a small complex so was nice and peaceful. Would definately suit couples looking for a relaxing break. As soon as you walk out of the reception you're met by an endless supply of supermarkets, including the Spar chain which were nice and cheap, and a good variety of bars and restaurants. Even though it's on a main road it's quiet at night apart from 12-2am when there is karaoke at one of the local English bars! But as it's only for a couple of hours it's not too bad.
I'd definitely recommend going to the Spanish Square which is only a few minutes away. Go to the English bar which is opposite Hooks, I can't remember what it's called but it's so cheap. 2 drinks only came to €5 whereas the bar next to it was about €12!
I'd definately recommend the Oceano Apartments all in all!

" This was to be me and my wifes 1st... "
Submitted By: Mr D GEORGE
This was to be me and my wifes 1st holiday together without our darling children for twenty years and we were hoping for a nice quiet relaxing holiday where we didnt have to travel far for anything and enjoy plenty of sunshine and good food.
Seven days later and every single box has been ticked perfectly
The apartment we stayed in was very clean and well maintained , the best shower ive ever used ie it stayed at a good temperature for the entire time u were in there .
Ample balcony , good fridge . oven and tv which we didint use because we went away to leave that stuff behind. the pool looked fine and clean if you require it and the pool side bar was brilliant and served very good reasonably priced food. the host and hostess were very friendly and helpful as were the reception staff.
although centally situated we found it relatively peaceful despite there being several bars nearby.
We enjoyed several walks around the coastline and noticed just how little litter there was other than that left by idiots in the rocky peninsulas .
We had several visits to the Golden City Chinese restaurant and had some wonderful hot buffets (certainly the best ive ever tasted).
It was nice not to be hounded by bar and restaurants touting for business , yes you were asked if you would like to dine with them but they didnt chase you down the street as is often the case
We can only speak for ourselves but we had a wonderful holiday and will definitely be returning there soon and it was great value for money

" Just returned after a week having... "
Submitted By: Mrs N Iantorno
Just returned after a week having stayed at the Oceano Apartments and feel that I have to tell people of our experience.
How Airtours can grade these apartments 3 star I have no idea, in my opinion it is no more than a 2 star at the very best.
The reception only seemed to open a few hours in the day so if you had any problems there was nobody there to help you. The pool bar, again, seemed to open and close as and when.
The pool area was dissapointing, not very clean, and there seemed to be an underlying smell coming from the pool toilets.
Some of the apartments are above bars and the noise can go on until early hours of the morning. During our stay, the Fri & Sat night there was a Brazilian music festival which meant that the noise continued until 4am, I don't know there is a festival every weekend, if there is I wouldn't recommend staying in room 113.
The rooms are very basic and in desperate need of a refurb.

" We are just back from a 2 week stay... "
Submitted By: Mr I And G Mercer
We are just back from a 2 week stay in Oceano, Costa Teguise. We have not got 1 complaint (and we are very fussy), from we arrived until we left everything was perfect. The apartments are really central to the shops, Bars and Restaurants, although it is near a main road, it is really quiet and peaceful. The Pool bar is owned by Mo and Suzanne, they are the nicest people you could ever meet, we tried breakfast in various places but we always came back to the pool bar as they make the best breakfast in Costa Teguise! We had good craic with Mo and others having pool competitions at night. The apartment itself was really clean, the maids cames every second day, they changed sheets, towels and mopped the floors. For those who like to read, Mo also has a book selection for the pool bar customers. We highly recommend these apartments, We will be visiting again very soon, and will be bringing the rest of the family next time!!!!!!
