Leisure travelers, particularly families, looking for mid-range, apartment-style lodging for a reasonable price will likely enjoy the Santa Rosa. The hotel doesn't have much in the way of decor, but it does have a large sports complex and the minimalist rooms here are clean and come with kitchenettes. The large indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and bowling alley are all made for family fun, as are the cold but lovely outdoor pools, which are surrounded by lounge chairs with parasols. Food is served buffet style and is a bit repetitive. Those looking for a seaside location will want to book elsewhere, as the nearest beach is a 10-minute walk away.
Scene
A little dated in decor but still popular with family travelers
The Santa Rosa has plain off-white exteriors and an equally unremarkable entrance. The lobby -- though large, bright, and airy -- could use a facelift: furniture is dated brown leather and wicker with sagging pillows that could use a bit more filling. Expect to see lots of families in public spaces, as the hotel is a popular choice for those traveling with kids.
Location
A 10-minute walk from the beach in a quiet, residential area
Located on Costa Teguise on the east coast of Lanzarote, the** **Santa Rosa's apartments are in a residential neighborhood, a 10-minute walk to the beach and a 15-minute walk from restaurants and shopping. Arrecife Airport is a 15-minute ride away and the nearest golf course takes just under 10 minutes to reach by car.
Rooms
Utilitarian decor in apartment-style rooms come with homey comforts
The 128 one- and two-bedroom apartments at Santa Rosa come equipped with many comforts of home, including kitchenettes with two-hob stoves, microwaves, and mini-fridges. Decor is minimalist and utilitarian, with lots of gray and muted colors. One-bedroom apartments sleep up to three adults, while the two-bedroom apartments can accommodate a maximum of five. Beds are single, so couples who want to sleep together will need to push the beds together. Furnished terraces or balconies and flat-screen TVs come standard in each. In-room Wi-Fi is available for an additional charge and there's a fee to use safes. Rooms are cleaned five days per week, but linens are changed once every five days.
Features
The massive sports complex is the stand-out feature of the hotel.
With three pools -- including one indoor pool -- there's plenty of ways to enjoy the water at the Santa Rosa. Guests often find the outdoor pools, heated only through solar panels, cold at times. There's plenty to keep kids entertained, including a playground, workshops, mini-golf, and a bowling alley. Three paddle tennis courts, a gym, a whirlpool hot tub, and a sauna are all part of the extensive sports complex on the grounds that's the hotel's main attraction. Wi-Fi is free in public areas.
