Apartamentos LIVVO Coloradamar

Lovely spacious apartment on a quiet complex, exactly as others have described. Didn’t believe we’d have 2 full bathrooms but there really are! (all apartments are the same). The only reason we didn’t give 5 stars was because our balcony (at back, front opened onto pool) was directly beside the road, overlooked by passing traffic and the shopping centre opposite. It’s a pity there couldn’t be a low fence (on top of the wall) to give a little more privacy. Despite being on the road, and next to the pool, the sound insulation (and A/C) was great so we weren’t disturbed. Overall great accommodation.

Can’t fault the complex. We had a 2 bed, 2 bathroom bungalow. Was spotless and cleaned 5 days out of 7. Nice outside area with table and chairs to eat if you so wish plus a couple of sun loungers. Pool area was immaculate. Hardly anyone there when we went. Opens 9am till 6pm. Plenty of sun beds. It was heated when we arrived (only between Nov and End of may)… tad cold but once you got in and swam a length it was fine! Valentina works in reception 9-2 daily. She was fantastic. So friendly and welcoming and gave lots of ideas and honest feedback on where to go or not. Weather was 25-28c. It is cloudy in the mornings usually which blows over. Can be windy. The heat and sun goes on later so we were up on the room sunbeds until 7.30pm most nights, with a glass of wine and nibbles. It’s a 4-5 minute walk to a supermarket to get the basics and a few bars and restaurants. There is a bus stop outside the complex main entrance. You get the number 30 and it goes in a loop around Playa Blanca for 1 euro 40 per person. To leave the complex, the buses run at quarter past and quarter too, every hour. On the return leg, they run at 0’clock and half past…. And they are reliable. It’s a 25 minute walk to the marina and about 40 minutes to a decent beach. The main high street area is about 1 hour walk…. Or 15 minutes on the bus! In Playa Blanca, there is a market in the marina every weds and Sat. The main shopping street has your usual supermarkets, duty free places etc. do not bother with the Rubicón shopping centre… complete rubbish. If you go to the port, you can catch a ferry to Fuertaventura. They go every hour near enough for about 38 euros each and takes approx 35 minutes to cross the sea. Correlajo is the port you come into. Some nice restaurants but it is small and you can walk the place in a good 3-4 hours. So many different types of supermarket. Best one is either the superdino near the main bus terminal or the Spar on the main high street. Both have a good selection of fresh meat and fish counter. If you want really good fish, go down to the port and there is a fish shop open until 1pm… check out the langoustines which are bigger than your hand! There is every choice of food options available to you here. We don’t go British when on holiday. The places we went and recommend are: Furancho do Tono- 4 mins walk from complex next to the small supermarket. Try the octopus, the languostines and pork cheeks… went here twice Le Petit Jardin- in the marina. French. We had the best steak we’ve ever had here Buenos Aires Grill- above Le Petit. Had a mixed bbq grill of different meats and sausages Citurna- literally 3 mins walk up the hill from the complex. A tad expensive but the food was quality. Latin and sushi infusion influence La Taberna- tapas. The rabbit stew was great. We had about 6 dishes in total and it was priced reasonably well. There was one more tapas place above Le Petit which I can’t remember.

We stayed in Apartment 18 at Coloradamar Bungalows and had a fantastic experience. The bungalow itself was very large—much more spacious than we expected—and the highlight was definitely the huge terrace. It offered sea views and was the perfect place to relax throughout the day. The entire property is extremely clean and well-maintained. In terms of location, there are a few good restaurants just a two-minute walk away, which is very convenient. It is about a 20-minute walk to the Marina, but be aware that it is a very hilly route, so it might be a bit of a workout for some! Thankfully, transport is very easy if you want to skip the hills. There is a bus stop right outside the property, and it only costs 1 Euro 20 cents for a one-way trip into town. Overall, it’s a brilliant place to stay if you want plenty of space and a great view.

If you read the reviews for the bungalows all I can say I agree well maintained lots of space everything you need for the perfect holiday we booked a jacuzzi room and it was not overlooked and a short walk to the pool that was very quiet lots of loungers and umbrellas except a French couple who thought it necessary to put their towels on loungers as there were only usually three or four people at the pool was stupid but bad habits die hard. My only criticism is the beds they are so hard second day in went to reception told them and two mattress toppers were put on our beds happy days after that. We would definitely recommend it’s at the quieter end of playa blanca and suits us but the walks are easy to Marina Rubicón which we visited the weather was so cold had to buy fleeces to keep warm only fetched a couple of cardigans for evening. Would we come to Lanzarote again and the answer is no nothing is worth the airport hassle we stood in a queue for 2 hours and then another hour on the coach waiting for passengers when we booked our holiday sept 2025 nothing was mentioned about border controls only it kept being delayed on the role out, we go home today and I’m dreading a similar performance to leave. May revisit when it settles down but with the awful weather and border crossing it doesn’t feature in the foreseeable.

Just returned from a lovely stay at LIVVO Coloradamar Apartments in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote, and would definitely recommend it. The apartments are spacious, clean, and really well laid out, with everything you need, it's like home from home. The private terrace was a great bonus. We had the jaquzzi plus and was well worth it, with sun loungers and seating, plus a BBQ. There's also a free, safe, and air conditioning - along with a free bottle of wine on arrival. The complex itself is spotless, peaceful, and well maintained. There is a small shopping complex very near also. The location is excellent — quite and about a good 20 min short walk to Marina Rubicón, where there are plenty of great restaurants, bars, and shops. It’s also close to the coastal path, which is perfect for a stroll along the seafront. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They booked an excursion for us. The pool area was lovely and clean, but despite the weather, we chose to stay in our huge patio area. It’s a great option if you want somewhere quieter than the main centre of Playa Blanca but still within easy reach of everything.

What a lovely complex of 32 individual villas with an excellent outdoor area and pool which is kept very clean and well maintained. The villas each come with their own patio area, table and chairs and a couple of sun loungers, which seems to take any pressure off the poolside ones. Situated in Coloradamar at the western end of the Avenida Maritimo it is about 20 minute walk into the Rubicon Marina area and the same again into Playa Blanca old town. If you don’t fancy the walking the no 30 bus end it’s circular journey outside the complex and runs every half hour to the other end of the Avenido at Faro Park, all for the princely sum of 1.40 euro. This is very much a peace and quiet job, there is no entertainment or bar facilities, in fact the whole of Coloradamar is the peaceful part of the town. Apart from the beaches in the centre of PB, there is Papagayo beach 20 mins from the complex which is very nice but the walk is some 20 minutes and over rough steep ground. The shopping complex over the road has a small supermarket and some excellent bars and restaurants, Alfie’s Bar, was our favourite, a special mention to Simple and Natural who do great coffee and breakfasts. So why all this praise and not 5 stars, quite simply the beds were awful, hard and uncomfortable, we asked for toppers to try and make them bearable but were basically ignored, in the end we had to buy our own from the town. Would I book for next year, well yes but only if the sleeping problems could be guaranteed to be solved

After a bit of an issue when arriving here - arrived in the dark, reception closes at 3 pm but eventually got through to the number on reception door and got the code for the gate and our bungalow. We were very impressed, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large terrace and our own sunbeds. Well equipped kitchen and so spacious for holiday accommodation - we loved it. A few yards from our front door was the pool. Very quiet around the pool, we used the sunbeds on our terrace as presumably did most people. We had a complimentary bottle of wine and 2 large bottles of water. Very helpful assistants in reception. There are a few bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk the best one being Funchal ,(near the supermarket) where they serve tapas and the biggest steaks we've ever seen! Rubicon Marina is lovely and further down the coast is the main '*****' with numerous restaurants and bars and the usual holiday gift shops. You can get the bus outside the hotel to these areas and its about 3 euros a couple so easy to get around. Would highly recommend this accommodation and we'll be looking for similar in other resorts in the future having usually gone all inclusive it was nice to have the freedom of self catering. It's a quieter area of playa blanca but that suited us, wasn't too keen on the busy area at the other end. Had a lovely week here and would highly recommend it. If the hotel reads this review my suggestion to them would be to email people who are arriving later in the day to explain how to access the gate etc as when you arrive in the dark it is a bit worrying/confusing.

What a gem! A lovely place to stay, very clean, quiet & calm, great location. I write reviews like id like to have read so here goes. Firstly, reception is open 0900-1500hrs so if you arrive outside of this (we did) then do not even attempt to carry your luggage up the steps to reception....you'll carry them back down again otherwise. We didnt get any communication from Jet2 (apparently we should have?) to tell us that we would need to ring a number to arrange entrance. It was easy enough, sign on the wall and then the lady whatsapped us instructions to our room - the next day I then checked in properly. We were very thankful for the 2l bottle of water chilling in the fridge as it was 2230hrs when we got there, no shops open due to the time and we had no water left. Thank you so much for that gesture! Apartments are lovely! We had a bali plus one. 2 bedrooms (no need for daughter to sleep on a sofa bed yay), bathroom for her and ensuite for us with walk in shower. Air con in both bedrooms and it was very powerful. Every window has a curtain and also a black out blind behind it! Safe included for no extra cost. Kitchen has 2 ring hob, full size fridge and freezer. Microwave (presume just that and not a microwave grill, never used it so couldnt say), kettle, toaster and a coffee machine (no pods, never used it). Full accompliment of equipment too - pans, frying pan, grill tray (which made me question the microwave as there was no oven so I was curious why there'd be a metal tray), colander, bottle opener, (I didnt note if a tin opener so sorry about that), no scissors, I did note that, sharp knives, bread knife, cutlery, crockery, glassware, 1 egg cup (I fashioned another out of the egg box), even tea towels x2 (and these were changed daily), sponge and dish soap. Outside we had a little nook with a sink, mop, bucket and broom, and a large washing line. Out the rear of the apartment we had a semi enclosed garden area with a patio with a canopy above, table and chairs and 2 x sun loungers. Access via living room and both bedrooms. Best of all an allocated bali bed that was (for us, room 31) right outside our apartment! I think there are 6 or 7 bali beds in total - they have the room number above them so theres no question as to who theyre for. As others have said, the pool area is so so quiet! Barely anyone around. We were there for 10days (the latter part being the school holidays for the UK) and it was still quiet. Maybe saw 6 people a day tops there. Pool isn't heated, seems quite standard for Lanzarote we've found but it wasnt cold. There's also a jacuzzi too which is lovely. Not heated either but it never felt brassic getting into it and once you'd been in there it was a doddle getting into the pool. Showers are dotted around the pool as well. Every room either has an allocated bali bed or is guaranteed to have 2 sun loungers (though these are not allocated, so you can pick whatever ones you want). The pool gets the sun ALL day long :-) Bali

Fantastic apartments. Great base as you are only a short trip on the bus from the main areas of Playa Blanca. Staff were so lovely and helped whenever we needed them. Supermarket and couple of bars/restaurants across the road which are easy to get to using the bottom gates in the complex. Very quiet when we visited which was due to time of year but it was bliss. Only problem we had was the beds. Very hard and extremely uncomfortable and we both came home craving our own beds. Wouldn't stop us coming back though
