Los Rosales

Split vibes: choose sun-soaked Puerto del Carmen on Lanzarote — just 200 m from the beach and the main resort hub — or a quieter, countryside stay in Santa María de Cayón, 2 km from the city center and close to Santander Ferry Terminal, Santander Cathedral and Centro Botín. Great for beach days and easy access to city sights. Family-friendly options available (children’s pool at the apartments).

Two simple, no-fuss stays: basic apartments with kitchenettes, balconies or terraces and pay TV; and a small hotel offering TV and a minibar in rooms. The apartments feel practical and breezy for self-catered breaks; the hotel leans toward classic comfort with a safe-deposit box and handy parking for drivers. Reception at the apartments runs limited hours — advise your arrival time.

Both properties serve up outdoor pools — the Puerto del Carmen pool includes a shallow 80 cm children’s area — and the hotel adds an outdoor pool plus on-site parking. Rooms and apartments include essentials like TV and in many cases minibar or kitchenette, with safes available (extra charge in the apartments). Expect easy, relaxed facilities that get you straight into vacation mode — wake up to sea-breeze mornings in Lanzarote or unwind poolside near Santander.

Self-cater with in-room kitchenettes in the apartments, or step out to discover many nearby shops, bars and restaurants in Puerto del Carmen and around Santa María de Cayón. Great for mixing quick breakfasts on the terrace with evenings exploring local eateries.
