The Hotel Papagayo Arena 4* all inclusive is one of the more affordable hotels all inclusive and well managed in Lanzarote, for those who have children and who wish to spend a stay without leaving the hotel and with all-inclusive service this is a good option. The Beaches of Papagayo are just 5 or 10 minutes away from this hotel. In the Beaches of Papagayo there is a restaurant but it is not recommended to eat there because it is very expensive, so we recommend bringing your own food and water to spend the entire day. Playa Blanca also has other beaches, Playa Dorada side by side to Hotel Hesperia Playa Dorada 4*, Hotel Princesa Yaiza 5*, Hotel Volcan Lanzarote 5*, and there is another beach called Playa Flamingo in the other side of Playa Blanca, this beach is inside of the Playa Flamingo Apartments. All these beaches are great for the family and children because have all the tourist facilities necessary to enjoy the beach with your family. Please do not miss the private port of Marina Rubicon in Playa Blanca because is real beautiful to walk around, eat and have a tea or a coffee, we recommend to visit this new and nice marina in Playa Blanca.
We must not forget that Playa Blanca has also a port which allows us to move to Fuerteventura, our beautiful neighbor island, to see more info go to this website Fuerteventura, in a very short period of time, in about 20-30 minutes you can reach Fuerteventura. There are two diferents companies that bind Fuerteventura and Lanzarote and these companies are Fred Olsen and Naviera Armas, both of them with regular transfers without interruption from 7 am to 8 pm, please check their schedule in your hotel before beacuse winter and summer has diferents schedules. Fred Olsen company just reach Fuerteventura (Corralejo) in 20 minutes, the ship that is used is a very new catamaran boat that is very beautiful, and Naviera Armas takes about 40 minutes but cheaper, just have a look once you are having fun in the beach or go around the port to have a look to them and choose which ship would be the best to reach you to Fuerteventura beaches of Corralejo, one of the best beaches in the world.
Fred Olsen costs about 65€ back to back 2 pesons with car and two persons with Naviera Armas costs about € 50 back to back with car, just one person without car the cost is about 18€ (Please go to their webiste to see if their prices have been changed, thanks). The price also depends whether you are a Canary Island resident or not you will have discounts. We recommend spending a day in Fuerteventura (Corralejo), on the Dunes of Corralejo, which is an incredible natural setting, not in a vain is a National Protected Park. The more adventurous and if you like driving you can reach the beaches of Jandia to the south, you can reach Jandía in about one hours and forty-five minutes (1:45 minutes), in Jandía you will fin the best beaches in Europe, they are incredible. We recommend going directly to Jandia or Costa Calma, without stopping at other sites. To travel the entire island of Fuerteventura in just 1 day is impossible because it is twice as big as Lanzarote but it has many interesting places that if you have time you must visit.
