I had booked a holiday with my partner, who at the last minute was sadly unable to come. So I had to find some cheaper accommodation and I picked Magec. It’s a basic hotel but it has everything I needed. The staff were kind and friendly: I enjoyed my conversations with the lady from Colombia. The place was super tidy, and my room had a little balcony facing the ocean. There is a small terrace on the top floor where you can sit at a table or sunbathe on a sunbed (but there’s only one!) On the top floor there is also a small kitchen that has a kettle and microwave.
The showers and toilets are shared but they are always clean.
The only thing I didn’t like was that I could hear the street sounds from my window (but I am admittedly a light sleeper).
The absolute best thing about this little place is that it is only a 3-4 minute walk from the beach - Playa Chica. This is my favourite beach in Lanzarote because it is small, cosy, family friendly, and has so so many types of fish you can see if you like snorkelling. Even wading in knee-deep, you see whole schools of fish swimming by! So it was great for me to just walk out of the hotel and to the beach, then I didn’t even need to use the beach showers, I could just go back and do it at the hotel!
Hotel is also close by to many pubs and restaurants, if that is your thing.
If on a budget, I would definitely recommend this place.
The beach is so close!!!
