Iberostar

After visiting Yaiza, we walked along the prom, past the town centre and ferry terminal to Iberostar, which is adjacent to the Flamingo Beach – an enclosed beach similar to Playa Dorada.

Iberostar has 319 rooms

Star Prestige have sunbeds on glass-fronted balconies.

Location

The hotel is fairly close to the ferry terminal

Local facilities

there is a car hire, doctors surgery and a small supermarket close to the entrance

supermarket had lots of drinks, and a small selection of snacks – no salads.

The Beach

There is easy access to the Flamingo Beach just along the prom. Like Playa Dorada it is protected by two arms.

However, this is a much smaller beach than Play Dorada, and the left third is marked off by a line of buoys for the use of scuba divers.

These two maps are to the same scale

Playa Flamingo

Playa Dorada

There was a party of scuba divers preparing to enter the water, so we asked them about snorkelling from the beach and fish.

They said that there were very few fish inside the arms, because it is very sandy. The best conditions are outside the arms!

Summary

Positives

Excellent hotel

Negatives

Wrong location (for snorkelling) 🙁
