I'd suggest the Elena if you like the Rocas and the area as they're just behind the Rocas !

I've stayed in plaza palmeras, elena, princess ico, club oceano.

By far the best is Club Oceano, by far the worst was the Elena, although it was quite a few years ago. Plaza Palmeras were fine but at the top of a hill, Princesa Ico were fine too and belong to the same company as Club Oceano but are very small, although are also very reasonable.

You should consider Costa Luz too, they are right on the beach and are easily the best apartments I've stayed in in PDC.

The Elena are the only apartments in Lanzarote that I've ever complained about. But, like I said, it was a long time ago and they may be completely different now.

I've stayed in Plaza Azul too, decent but clean and basic apartments. The bar is good. They are right across the road from the Plaza Palmeras so they're up the same hill. You're right in the middle of the resort though once you're down the hill.

ye i know where all the apartments are that i mentioned and thats why i mentioned them cause they all close to centre. like i say we usually stay in rocas blancas but fancy a change cause u can get just as good if not better than them for cheaper. i love rocas but i think u are paying extra for the location to be honest.
