We’ve had received notification of two new building sites in the holiday resort of Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote. We’ve been down to see them recently to understand the impact for the surrounding hotels.
Directly across the road from the boutique hotel Lani’s Suites, on the Avenida de Las Playas their second project has just started construction. The demolition of the existing buildings has already been completed. Now work will begin to construct shops, offices and parking. The start date for the project was April 2019, with an end date of April 2023. We are aware of a booking errata in place for the Labranda Playa Club apartments, for noise disturbance.
