Reception staff were helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable and clean. The food was great with lots to choose from, the staff were really friendly. The hotel is beautiful in a stunning location although it could do with a little TLC. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you

Nice stay at this hotel. Beautiful beach, clean facilities. Food got a little repetitive but was good quality and we always had something to eat. Pools were really nice especially the family pool which was heated. We were a little off season and there were always loungers available by the poolside. Staff was friendly.

We liked the wide variety of food options at each meal. The staff were very friendly. I mentioned that it was my birthday while on holiday and they left me a bottle of Prosecco and some chocolates which was a lovely gesture and much appreciated. The hotel is dated but we had everything we needed in our duplex apartment. The main town of Corralejo takes an hour to walk to but it is a flat walk or you can get the no. 6 bus just up the road which runs regularly. I would recommend this hotel and would come back here again.

Love this place!
We stay here primarily to train as athletes as the location on the beach/park is perfect! The trail runs over in the nature reserve are superb and there's the beach to relax on afterwards. The staff are SO friendly with constant greetings from every cleaner, maintenance man, waitress - they're a hard working team who barely stop. They all run a fantastic hotel and the all-inclusive buffet is always perfect for refuelling us. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again... and again...

A great value beach stay
The location of the hotel is sublime and the sea views picture perfect but need a bus 6 to get into Corralejo. BusStop is Los hoteles fare 1.40eu. The rooms are dark wood and dated but clean and functional. Food was varied and usual AI fare - no issue with food hygiene. Entertainment ok - mix of in house team efforts and external acts

Great service, food and staff
Really pleasantly surprised by the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food available from early morning to late at night included a very wide selection at breakfast, lunch, dinner along with additional continental breakfast available until lunch and snacks throughout the day. The "fancy" restaurant which required a booking was great and nice break from the main dining room. Pool and breach area really nice and generally had loungers available. Plenty of parking and the rest of the island was easily accessible by car and/or bus. The dunes and surrounding area including the beach is beautiful. We stayed as part of a wider trip to Lanz/Fuerta and really enjoyed it. Only criticisms would be the decor which is dated and fact that there is no-wifi in rooms (wifi worked well around the ground floor and other common areas). Would certainly return and recommend. Great value too.

Beware
The hotel along with one other is in an isolated location far from any other development. Reception staff are rather bland and matter of fact whilst the cleaners and restaurant staff are welcoming. mark your table with some personal effect in between visits to the buffet as the clearing of tables is overenthusiastic. My room in the Oliva village was clean, spacious and on the middle floor of three storeys, I asked for high! Basic key operated door and safe, nice shower and bidet with no hot water. The floors are all tiled and walls very thin, I could hear the flicking of switches and snoring coming from next door whilst trying to sleep wearing ear plugs. The fridge made an intolerable noise and had to remain unplugged. Small Tv with at least three English channels, wifi works well in the main building precincts but not at all in the village complex. On my second night of a four night stay I was struck down by a violent sickness and diarrhoea attack.This could only be blamed on food eaten in the restaurant and reviews I read for stays a few months ago also detailed this. It left me reluctant to trust very much on offer for the remainder of my stay, so I settled for eating very little! Just as well the rate charged was very cheap! The phone in my room rang at 3 30 am on the day I was checking out. 7 am at reception the person on duty could not explain why that was, and my checkout experience was one of more bland staff disinterest and minimum of effort.

The hotel its self is a little tired but that is the only fault it has. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, from the front of house staff to the gardeners. There was entertainment in the evenings which were enjoyable. The food was amazing and you are spoiled for choice. The whole place is spotlessly clean and is constantly being cleaned. The beach is absolutely stunning, the surrounding area is beautiful and it is easy to walk into Corralejo one way or the sand dunes the other way.
