Pros: We stayed at Barcarola because it was recommended by our daughter who had stayed there previously. Here is our review; Lovely breakfast room, very friendly and welcoming staff every morning. The breakfast was very tasty with a wide range of cereals, fruits,breads, cold meats, cheeses and traditional fry to choose from. Every possible coffee and coffee flavor and combinations are catered for. The breakfast room staff are excellent, friendly and courteous and also get the job done discreetly from a distance without being in customers faces! Having stayed in numerous locations in Lanzarote and around the Canary Islands including Fuerteventura, we found this apartment complex to be cleanest and best serviced of them all. The swimming pool area is excellent and very well maintained. This area is cleaned each evening after guests have retired from the pool area. There is a sprinkler system in place on the grounds here which is turned on each evening to refresh the complex. The complex therefore has a 'refreshed' feel about it each morning. The cleaning crews are the most courteous and efficient team that we have experienced over the years, and they leave nothing to chance in their meticulous cleaning of the rooms each morning. Doing the basic things very well are very important to tourists and at Barcarola they excel at this every single day. The clean crisp white sheets and well made beds are a joy to behold. We noticed during our 10 day stay here, that The Barcarola Teams work away quietly in the background and it is very comforting to know that they are there. We also noticed a management presence on 2 occasions during our stay which is also very welcoming to know. Management are obviously getting involved, discreetly, keeping standards high, While we spend substantial time travelling to Canada where we have family, the next time we return to Lanzarote we will be staying at Barcarole Club.

Contras: WiFi was hit and miss, although was good enough to listen to music. Could not transact business on WiFi as it is not secure.! It does not have a secure certificate so does not have encryption over HTTPS. (Is HTTP). Security Certificates are not expensive, so there is no excuse. There is no HDMi slot on the TV but it would have been no good anyway as WiFi not good enough anyway.
