"Susan was brilliant throughout, always contactable and made some great choices for us" - Graham
We were after a good value break for some relaxation and down time. Having never previously been to the Canaries, Susan sent Katherine and I to the Atlantic Gardens Playa Blanca in Lanzarote, which turned out to be a fabulous choice. The hotel, facilities and service were excellent. We stayed in an individual bungalow with bedroom, lounge/ kitchen area, shower room and an enclosed courtyard. We had a great time. The island was hugely enjoyable, and we would certainly return.
