Stay in Costa Teguise
An easy east-coast resort, closer to the north and the Manrique sights
The honest verdict
Costa Teguise has the easiest resort layout on the island, restaurants around Pueblo Marinero and beaches with real personalities: sheltered El Jablillo for small children, Las Cucharas where the windsurfers set up. Its east-coast position cuts driving time to the Manrique sights and the north compared with Playa Blanca. It is quieter and less varied than Puerto del Carmen.

Transport reality
Airport arrival
Lanzarote Airport is on the other side of Arrecife, a short drive away. By bus, change in Arrecife: Arrecife Bus lines 22 and 23 serve the airport and line 1 runs to Costa Teguise. A taxi or transfer is simpler with luggage.
Without a car
Workable: the beaches and restaurants are on foot, and Arrecife Bus runs line 1 to Arrecife, line 3 to Puerto del Carmen, line 11 to the Sunday Teguise market, line 25 to Puerto Calero and line 31 to Caleta de Famara.
With a car
The east-coast position is the point: Jameos del Agua, Cueva de los Verdes and the north are closer than from the southern resorts, and Timanfaya is still a comfortable day.

Eat beyond the hotel
The local-food move
Pueblo Marinero covers easy resort evenings. For fish by the water, go to the Charco de San Ginés in Arrecife; for traditional food, eat inland around Teguise.
