Accommodation
At the last count Lanzarote offered visitors a choice of over 200 hotels and apartments to suit all tastes and budgets. The leading trade organisation on the island, which represents almost 80% of these establishments, is the Asociación Insular de Empresarios de Hoteles y Apartamentos de Lanzarote,, which is often abbreviated to ASOLAN. As with any holiday, it is certainly worth while checking the location of your chosen accommodation before booking, which hopefully the resort map pages of this site should be helpful. If your chosen accommodation is towards the rear of a resort, it may also be worth checking if they provide a courtesy bus service into the town centre.

Banks
Most banks on Lanzarote are open from 9am to 2pm Monday to Friday. Always remember when exchanging any form of money to take along your passport, check the exchange rate before dealing, and collect a receipt before leaving the premises. For those who feel nervous about carrying large sums of money and their passport around together, most hotels will also gladly exchange money at perhaps a slightly lower rate. Most banks also have hole in the wall type cash machines where you can withdraw money using either your credit or debit card. Don't forget that the official currency of Spain is now the Euro.

Bars
There is a wide variety of bars throughout all resorts, most of which either offer live music, karaoke, Sky Sports, or videos of films not yet released in the cinema.

Buses
A very reliable bus service is operated by the Transporte Interurbano de Lanzarote throughout all of island.
