I like the Flamingo Beach area so was hoping to be close (ish) to there

Also hoping quarantine doesn’t become a thing for when we want to go 😂
We are not going for ages yet ( next September) so I’m hoping no quarantine by then. I think if we are still in this mess by then a holiday will be the least of our worries !
It is just me and husband going so with no kids and term time it is already half price 😂 I may just push the boat out with the Lanzarote Park. We don’t eat lunch when we’re away and are not big drinkers so I am thinking now the Star Prestige with half board may be best for us.

I was set on Sandos Papagayo too until I saw those photos !

I have joined My Iberostar in their website and it gives a good discount if that helps.
Hope you find something for your holiday.

Hey don’t all be booking Lanzarote Park, you’ll increase the prices for me.

Another nice one if you don’t have kids and not bothered about AI is Natura Palace. I stayed there years ago and that is lovely.
I’d also recommend the H10 ones which are a step down from the Iberostar but quite a bit cheaper. There’s also another Iberostar nearer Papagayo think it’s more apart hotel never stayed but looks decent value. I’ve stopped in the Princess- not bad but could be better. Yaiza is brilliant but not worth the cash. I’ve stayed in others too.

Playa Blanca doesn’t have timeshare touts nowadays and the Iberostar if you mean you stayed there- it was revamped into a deluxe 5 star a few years back. The owner of Iberostar company apparently stays in the one in Playa Blanca one- it is his favourite and goes on holiday there every year. Tripadvisors if you look have the best AI in Europe every year- the list came out a few months back and this one, the one in Feurteventura and the one I just got back from in Tenerife (which is the best IMO but probably priciest and they are all brilliant) all came top 5 from memory.
You pay the money but get real quality and food is fabulous at all. There’s decent deals on at the mo due to Corona where prices are sometimes half what they would usually be for packages. We stayed at the Anthelia for £3k ish in July for 4- it’s usually about 6-7k on a package.

I noticed the packages were really reasonable. I already have my flights though. The hotel is coming in around the same just for the room !

Sorry should’ve said that was a suite, it’s very tempting, if only I could be confident there’d be a vaccine by then?

Natura Palace if I am remembering correctly was overlooking Flamingo Beach? We stayed in a SC apartment many years ago next door. I may have my hotels confused though.

I am a bit worried there may be a lack of bars / restaurants open - if we go (and it is a BIG if) it would be November and I worry about it being off season and COVID having shut places?
