Ficus is a lively budget-friendly all-inclusive located a little away from the central tourist area in Costa Teguise. Its 109 apartments are clean and spacious, and feature kitchenettes, sofa beds in the living room, and furnished terraces or patios. Air-conditioning, though, is not available, and there are extra fees for Wi-Fi, safes, and many TV channels. The hotel’s buffet restaurant gets good reviews for quality, taste, and variety, and snacks are available between meals at the pool bar. The saltwater pool is the heart of the action during the day, but loungers seem to be a scarce commodity in peak season. While the hotel might fit the bill for guests looking for a bustling family-friendly property, Apartamentos Sol down the street is better suited for those seeking some R&R on the cheap.

The 131-room Oasis Lanz Beach Mate is a casual, lower-middle-range apartment property with an excellent location in the heart of the action in Costa Teguise. There are dozens of bars, restaurants, and shops within a few blocks, and all of the area’s top beaches can be found within a five-minute walk. Apartments at this family-friendly hotel are spacious but hit or miss: renovated units are contemporary and feature air-conditioning, while non-renovated ones have worn furniture and dated decor. All, however, have kitchenettes, sofa beds, and balconies. Two of the four pools are heated year-round, and the restaurant serves a decent breakfast buffet, as well as Mediterranean food for dinner, and snacks and drinks during the day. **Note that renovations are ongoing until late 2019. **In this price range, Santa Rosa offers better value overall, but it's farther from the beach.

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.

Blue Sea Costa Teguise Gardens is a basic property catering to budget-oriented couples, families, and groups of friends. Its 138 spacious apartments feature kitchenettes, sofa beds, and outdoor seating, but they lack air-conditioning, and decor is dated. The pool is pleasant and generally quiet, and there is some entertainment on-site, including live music in the evening. Dining options include a main buffet restaurant and snacks at the pool bar, but many past guests have found food underwhelming at both. Rates are rock-bottom, yet extra fees -- including for in-room Wi-Fi, hairdryers, most TV channels, and many kitchen utensils -- can add up. In this price range, sister property Blue Sea Costa Teguise Beach is closer to the beach.

The upscale Barcelo Teguise Beach is one of Lanzarote’s most stylish adult-only properties. Its 305 rooms are contemporary and well-equipped, with quality beds, espresso machines, and free Wi-Fi. Most units offer views of the sea, and many have a hot tub, either indoors or on the balcony. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, in particular around the pools, one of which is heated year-round and offers panoramic views of the ocean. Food gets great reviews for quality and variety, though some past guests have complained that it is usually lukewarm, and the cocktail bar is popular among guests and non-guests alike. Travelers wanting something cheaper may want to compare rates at the neighboring Be Live Experience Lanzarote Beach, though it is not adult-only.

The 368-room Sands Beach Resort is a mid-range beachfront property popular with families and older couples seeking value. Spacious apartment-style rooms can be hit or miss, as some have been renovated and feature simple but contemporary decor and updated kitchens, while others feel like they haven’t been touched in years, with dated elements including tube TVs. Aside from the on-site beach, the property offers dozens of daily activities for all ages -- including seven pools, a restaurant, a tennis court, a game room, and nightly entertainment -- but it’s mostly quiet thanks to its sprawling grounds. Those looking to stay all-inclusive may want to consider the Be Live Experience Grand Teguise Playa, also directly on the beach.
