Finca de las Salinas

Stumbled across Finca de las Salinas whilst travelling around Lanzarote and in desperate need of a bed to sleep in. We arrived during Siesta time and despite waking the manager up he was friendly, helpful and informative. The hotel has a lovely rustic charm and we were made to feel very welcome and relaxed. The rooms surround the pool with an outside seating area and were kept clean. The nicest thing for me about the hotel was the lack of traditional hotel rules, we were allowed to check out late on departure day and encouraged to use communal areas in the evenings. We stayed for 2 nights and made full use of the swimming pool, tennis courts and games room. Would recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, rural get away.

This hotel also operates some lovely rustic apartments outside of Yaiza, known als Casa Vista Salinas, right on the edge of the lava fields and with a nice view of the mountains. Very good place to relax out in the country, away from all the tourist hassle. Rooms are rustic but nice and clean, you feel like you're living in your own (modest) little farm house. Cook your own rustic meal or eat out in Uga, Yaiza or Playa Blanca. Also very near to the rugged coastline. We didn't eat or stay in the hotel on our stay (in 2010), just picked up the key there, but staff seemed very friendly.

Stayed here for 5 nights, staff are lovely, and the hotel is very stylish, but it could do with a lick of paint! Word of arning though, Yaiza village is very quiet, no nightlife really, so prepare to get taxis if you are planning on going out in the evenings.
