El Trebol Apartments

Well a lot may have depended on the time we went. It was out of season, and during last few days the resort filled up lots. The hotel did what it said on the tin really, rooms are a cracking size and the addition of the kitchen means you can do your own drinks etc without food going off within a day.

The hotel is set 5-10 mins walk from the main bit of Costa Teguise but was a nice walk back at night. The restaurant was pretty rubbish I have to say, you never knew if the evening meal was going to be good or bad! So as a result we ate out a lot, and discovered some fantastic restaurants on the front.

Have to say as well, although they may have finished by now, the entertainment team were brilliant and we got to know them really well by the time we left.

We went mainly as it is a good resort to windsurf, again the guys down at windsurf paradise (where I learned) were brilliant and happy to explain everything. Worth going as soon as you get there to book lessons though as I’m sure they get booked up in busy season! Would definitely go back to Costa Teguise, but maybe not to the same hotel.

Well we had a fantastic holiday at the El Trebol, it was our 1st holiday with our 2 yr old and there was plenty for him to do. The rooms were nice but may need a little more attention, the swimming pools were fantastic and there were plenty of sun loungers the only down fall was no parasols.

The food was nice but could of been better there was always plenty 2 choose but the combinations were strange.

The holiday was a 9 out of 10 for us. We liked it that much we are going again in September can not wait. If you have children it’s a lovely place 2 take them they will love it.

My husband, myself and two friends went to El Trebol at the beginning of December. As it was our first time abroad our friends had already been before we were a little scared at what to expect but we were not disappointed what a beautiful place, very clean.

We did eat out at different places every night and the Italian restaurant at Las Cucharas was brilliant there t bone steaks are excellent as I don’t have much of an appetite, I must admit that I have never eaten so much in my life gained half a stone that week, enough said.

Our apartments were basic but if you only need some place to sleep wash and relax they were ideal. Never went near the cooker all week. Outside we found a little bar called cafe Christina and the owner was a pure gem. I did have him worn out as he kept having to run out for bottles of baileys, but he was a gem. He never closed until we were ready to go home.

On our last night we went at 3 in the morning and my poor husband has vowed never to drink brandy and coke again.

If you have never been to Lanzarote you don’t know what you are missing, it is a beautiful place and we will be going back in July to celebrate our silver anniversary. Cant wait.

The hotel staff were very friendly and the entire complex was kept very clean although it was fairly standard.

The food was varied and there was always plenty of choice. There were enough sun loungers around the pool and as part of a group of four we were always able to find a decent spot. Although the resort is quieter than other parts of Lanzarote there was plenty to see and do for people of all ages.

Five minutes walk to the beach or town centre with plenty of shops and a variety of bargains. (I got some better deals with the local shops than at the usual markets) The weather for the time of year was excellent.

The welcome my family and I received at this complex was fantastic.

Although we went in December we did not go for the Christmas Holidays and it was very much 'off peak'. Despite this the complex put on excellent entertainment i.e. movies for kids, disco's Karaoke, shows, live music etc.

The food was wonderful - I am a vegetarian and usually dread holiday food - but I must say I was very impressed that along with a multitude of choice for your average meat eater there was also lots of options for me - all totally delicious.

I would go back here in a snap!

The apartments are basic and I don’t know if I would have coped cooking for a hoard of hungry kids in the mini kitchen available if I had gone self catering but it was great to be able to make coffee and snacks in between meals which is not always possible in a basic hotel room. Admittedly no kettle but we managed perfectly well with a saucepan.

To sum up, if you don’t expect the Ritz and accept the place for what it is - basic accommodation to crash/shower/have a snack/coffee etc after great days out and really want great customer service and be able to eat the food without being ill (someone else in my party booked in at a 5 star hotel down road and was ill every time they ate the food - paid for all inclusive and had to pay again at local restaurant!) then this is the place for you.

Great pool area too - very clean and catches the sun all day..

nice for when the staff take your kids off to the kids club and entertain them at no extra cost!

Room ok, but "tired". Hot water was only lukewarm for first 4 days, bath had seen better days! Sheets not changed once during the week we were there. Although H/B had all s/c equipment but no kettle, you have to hire one or take your own like we did. Food was uninspiring.

You can't do much for breakfast but I don’t think they know how to fry an egg, only had boiled, scrambled or omelette + the bacon etc. Dinner - well - I don't think they knew what vegetables were - very limited: carrots once and brocolli on another and that was it .Chips every day, no boiled or roast. Very limited on deserts.

Reception staff OK, miserable dining room staff. Shopping & beach at bottom of road with good eateries. Cash m/c out side hotel. Got taxi from airport - 15 euros. Buses to Puerto del Carmen/Arrecife from Lanzarote Gardens every 20mins & Teguise market on Sunday.

When we first got their it looked lovely, their was an arcade right outside, a shopping market, and a few restaurants. We went inside we were dealt with straight away and got sent to our rooms, (even though we took the long way round), the room looked basic when we went in, the bedroom looked nice, then we went into the sitting room to have a look at the pull out bed, this had marks and rips all over and looked dirty, then when we looked under the bed which was so dusty, I haven't seen dust like it, and the amount of things we found like bobbles etc. So we told the rep and the cleaner was sent up straight away and it was dealt with. When we got back into the room we had trouble opening the door, as it was a slidy one which we had to struggle to open but eventually did. The room was dusty even after the cleaner came up.



The kitchen was basic but accompanied our needs, but every time we turned two things on they fused and turned everything off. The only other bad thing I have to say about the room was that we had real trouble trying to lock it and a few times we just had to leave it because we couldn't get it shut. The hotel itself was lovely and had something for everyone including tennis and a new kiddies slide and pool, the pool could have done with a little bit more cleaning but that's all, it also had a pool bar, it had everything in the resort that you needed especially Cactus Jack's where live entertainment is on every night including a Drag show!!! and is just outside with mini golf over the road.

5 years ago visited here had a fab holiday then & this 1 too. Rooms basic but very clean. Food good you can pay 47 euros per appt per week @ pay 63 euros each half board get a cheapie flight & you will get the best holiday for value ever.

No cockroaches here, restaurant buffet meal area stripped down & cleaned after every sitting, kitchen immaculate. Pools not heated but all 3 pools used well 2 kiddies 1 large for biggies, remember its hot so its nice to cool down. Poor kids entertainment this year, 1 Spaniard couldn’t be bothered, too busy with his ponytail. Good turns on @ night for kid & adults.

There are other shops & bars close by but el trebol shuts down @ 11pm, so we can get to sleep bars close by open till 3am so we are all catered for. I am 68 been around a lot, i cannot find better value anywhere.

Just returned from 12 day stay at the El Trebol apartments and we had a lovely holiday. The rooms could do with a little bit of attention as they are quite basic but the gardens/pool areas were lovely and well maintained, the entertainment was good and the staff friendly. The complex was in a handy location for a few bars and restaurants but was still peaceful. We had a lovely break.

Was worried about going here after the reports but we were self catering and it was very clean and had a full cooker with rings and oven which is a treat.The swimming pools were fantastic the main one has an island in the middle with a corridor underneath which you can swim through.I heard from my next door neighbours that the food if you are half board is not very nice.Outside the hotel there are 2 bars which sell a pint of lager for 1euro which was brilliant.Eating out was not too expensive and nearby there r nice cafes and restaurants. I must finish off by telling you that i had friends staying in the sirocco apartments and they thought el trebol was much cleaner and nicer,also had friends staying in los zocos, el trebol beats them too.I WOULD DEFINATELY GO BACK
