Magma Rooms Playa Honda

What an amazing place to stay. Fantastic area. Great little pool to have a dip in with pool towels provided. Never stayed in a place so clean and fresh. Loved all the decor around the place gave it such a personal touch. Thank you so much. If I visit the area again I will definitely be staying again. 🙂

You enter through a gate from a narrow street into a very small front garden with a tiny pool dirty at the bottom. You then go into very small communal area with a tatty well worn sofa and two breakfast tables. It all had the feel of a basic youth hostel. We stayed in the orange room; small with a nice comfortable king sized bed. No balcony or fridge and nowhere to make tea or coffee. He provided a coffee machine downstairs if you wanted little expresso coffees for 1.50€. There was a kettle of water by coffee machine so I made my own coffee, but had to wash up my cafetierre in the bathroom as there is no access to a kitchen. There is a fridge full of drinks that you could purchase, but no room in it for your own bottle of wine or milk. The breakfast provided was very basic. On our last day he informed us he couldn't make us breakfast because he had to rush out. There are two old bikes you can borrow, but so old the rubber handle is disintergrating and your hands get covered in sticky black rubber. For the money charged you can get a self catering apartment which would be ideal as there is a lovely big supermarket nearby in a shopping arcade. You walk down three narrow streets to get to the beach, not too far. A few restaurants there but only restaurants, nothing else. You can't use his pool towels for the beach. We asked him about excursion to Timafaya, he gave us his own excursion leaflet which was 90€ each. We got one for 31€ with first minute excursions. 

What a disappointment! This place is managed by a zombie, with whom we barely crossed eyes. There is automated entry, from the street and from the garden - provided, that is, that you can enter the correct passcode. It is rather noisy from departing airplanes and from a nearby bar. Best to avoid!
