A superior standard accomodation with everything one would need for a self catering holiday. The accomodation included a modern full size fridge/freezer/cooker/washing machine. The shower room was gorgeous with a very powerful shower and hot water available at all times. Plenty of towels inc 2 X beach towels were provided. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding of a high quality. All the bedding and towels smelt really clean and fresh and not old and overly used. All the crockery and utensils were new and high quality.
Good location for visits to local restaurants and the old town. Lovely views from the small but very sheltered balcony which got the sun ALL day.
Negatives. There is a walkway very near the apartment and everyone wanted to stand talking outside at night. The restaurants played music until 4am every morning, the local fishermen were noisy in the morning/evenings and strange as it seems the local ducks caused most noise pollution. I could have shot the lot....ear plugs are a must. We would have the closed the high quality doors/Windows but there isn't any air conditioning. This has been fed back to Margarita who manages the presides. She was absolutely excellent and welcomed the feedback.
So in essence if u r looking for a superior quality apartment with outstanding views and novelty value and are happy to accept the noise this is for you. If air cond is fitted in the future I foresee we will visit again.

We booked El Mar 21 direct with the manager Margarita, however we were moved to el Mar 25 at the last minute due to the renovation of 21 not being complete in time for our visit. The cottage lived up to our expectations for a week of rest and relaxation. However, it could have been improved if we had access to the air conditioning, the units are installed but not in use for some reason and 25 didn't have Wi-Fi, which was advertised for 21. A change of linen and towels mid stay would also have been appreciated. That said the cottage has everything else you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Perfect spot if you don't want to travel far to eat, drink and be merry. If like us you just want to sit on the balcony and watch the local fishermen come and go and the world go by, this is the place for you.

Being regular January Lanzarote visitors we thought we'd seen it all. El Mar 21 proved that wrong. Situated on the harbour edge, away from the bustle that Puerto del Carmen is (in)famous for, El Mar 21 is idyllic. The balcony vista will be hard to beat anywhere. Quiet by day & night, just 1, quiet, one-way street well away from the 'back door'. The accommodation had everything, the washing machine (extra) was a bonus with all the cycling done. The slight problem with the wifi on arrival was very quickly dealt with by Magarita who was very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be staying again.

We ended up in No 25 instead of 21 after consultation from Margarita which was fine with us.
The place has fantastic views and is in no way spoiled by the boardwalk. We have been coming to the El Mar properties for over 10 years and the place is a little haven of sunshine and is ideally located near to local amenities/beaches some wonderful traditionally Spanish restaurants. The place was spotless and has everything you need for self catering.
Welcome bottle of bubbly was much appreciated as was the fresh fruit.
Maragarita arranged our taxi back to the airport and recommended as we flew on the Sat to get taxi to accommodation rather than the transfer we normally book as the airport would be quieter which it was so saved us money.

Spent lovely 14 nights at E Mar 21.Property is right on the harbour front complete with your own replica boat.The tide comes right up to the steps in your rocky garden.You can waken in the morning to the water lapping on the steps and the sounds of the ducks.
There is always something to see in the harbour from your upper balcony together with mountain views of Western Lanzarote and the island of Fuerteventura in the distance.Lots of lovely restaurants within a stones throw almost of the property. We found the Island Bistro and the Mexican on Cale Teide very good value.

If you are looking to stay in the Old Town of Puerto del Carmen what better location could you wish for than overlooking the harbour and that is exactly what you get with El Mar 21. Beautifully located and internally well decorated and equipped, I don't think you could wish for a better holiday home in the area.
