O7 Aloe Corralejo

Stayed for 10 nights in November with my partner and my 2 year old. First time visiting this hotel and the island. I was sceptical when reading some of the reviews prior to going but we had an absolutely amazing time! The small kids pool was great for my little boy we spent most of our days here, always managed to get a bed. Plenty of food to choose from at dinner time, I’m a fussy eater but always managed to find something nice! The Italian restaurant is also lovely. The hotel is a little further away from the hustle and bustle of the centre but we walked into the town most nights with our little boy, found it perfect for getting him to sleep and walk off our food! Took us about 15/20 min. Corralejo is a lovely place with lots to do and see. The beach by Riu hotel is a must! Only cons I would have is the rooms are in need of an upgrade but we didn’t spend much time in here so wasn’t really an issue, the evening meal is also late in my opinion as it doesn’t open until 6:30 so isn’t great when you have hungry kids! Same with the mini disco starting at 8:30. The food choices for lunch also aren’t great, particularly for veggies. Overall we had an absolutely fabulous time and would definitely come back in a heartbeat!

Bit of a mixed bag here. The hotel has potential. A good location, walkable to shops, sand dunes, beaches etc. we visited on the back end of half term and it was busy. Arrived late and were given sandwiches and fruit which was a good gesture. The room was ground floor and basic. The bathroom is what lets it down. Greeted by cockroaches, it was clean BUT the shower has black mould, cracked doors and flooded the bathroom when used. We asked the cleaner for a mop and she implied we’d not closed the screens. The shower basin leaked, the plug wasn’t aligned and it subsequently drained in the bathroom. Beds were like slabs! More worrying though was the bedroom has mould appear on the ceilings and wardrobe by the end of our stay. However maid service was good, rooms and infact the hotel were kept clean. The food was varied enough and cooked well. Staff were polite and friendly. As one other has mentioned the hotel can’t be held responsible for other selfish holiday makers blaring their own music and disruptive behaviours, but they could do with being more assertive to ensure all guests had comfortable stays. Overall, it’s cheap but I really do feel they need to sort the rooms. Others had kitchenettes, whereas we just had a fridge. The area is stunning with lots to do. Shops restaurants and bars nearby.

Rooms- Rooms were cleaned every few days, bed sheets changed. A couple of cockroaches found in our room, we stayed in a room with a terrace, when you come to Fuerteventura you are bound to see cockroaches everywhere anyways. Air con didn’t work the majority of the time we were there, told jet 2 about this problem and it was fixed a couple days later, the next day the air con stopped working again. Some friends we came with got given an air com unit. Rooms were up to date and clean. Did not get given any water on our first night so we had to wait until the next morning to go to the restaurant to get water. Food- Lots of variety Some nights there was a theme (Chinese, Thai, Indian, etc) A children’s food area with pasta, chips, burgers and hot dogs every day which was great for my 2 picky children. Entertainment- We stayed for 10 nights, evening entertainment majority of the nights. During the day there would be games (archery, bingo) and music, the music got repetitive eventually with the same 10 songs on repeat all day. On an evening there would be a kids disco every night, then some sort of entertainment such as singers, magicians, bingo. Then after that some nights would be music. Games room which my children loved. Outside gym for all ages, kids club, football court, volleyball court. Not enough sunbeds I came with 8 people so it was a struggle finding sunbeds all together during the day so we would put them out on an evening. Woke up one morning to the towels thrown in the pool (not by staff) .

Arrived at the hotel on 4th October, everything seemed quite straight forward. We were allocated 333 and my parents and one of my child were allocated 332. So meant we were together as this was a family holiday! We were given a bag of room due to arrival being late evening which consists of a stale sandwich, black banana, and a pear- no water with no shops which were open nor any vending machines. My parents room were clean but very basic, when we entered our family room. The electric did not work, so we called the reception and they quickly got someone to us (this room were clearly now checked before given to us) We then discovered our air conditioning did not work, had no power at all. We called the reception again, the guy who did repairs came to our room with 2 fans so clearly knew the air conditioning did not work! These fans blew hot air around our room. At this point I was fuming. We had a 3 months old, 3 year old and 6 year old in our room and was 29 degrees. They came the day after to check the air conditioning unit and stated this was not an easy fix and gave us a portable air conditioning unit with a vent pipe which has to go onto balcony. I complained to the reception and requested another room with working air conditioning as I was not happy about leaving the balcony door open for the vent during the night with 3 very young children the banister on the balcony were also loose! We were told we would have another room the next day for both rooms as this was a family holiday. When we went to the reception the morning after and were told that they had two rooms opposite each other around the pool but again did not have any working air conditioning which again resulted in a portable air conditioning unit which left my children at risk again having access to the pool, one not being able to swim but has no fear. So I declined this offer from the hotel as we was in the same situation. We then got offered a ground floor room with working air conditioning which were much better but they did not offer my parents a room with us which meant our family were separated to the opposite end of the hotel. (My children went between both rooms during evenings getting ready)! The pool area is standard but loads of hazards, cracked tiles in baby pool. Corners of the edging around trees (tiles) cracked. Will leave images. They have no lifts so when we were allocated on the 3rd floor initially we had to carry the pram up and down very poor lighting stairs numerous times a day. A few days into the holiday my dad got some fish in sauce from the restaurant which were raw, the food were absolutely vile and children’s choice was the same every night pizza hotdogs chips pasta and sauce burgers. Which was nothing special. I would not even rate this a 3* hotel, this hotel needs some extensive renovations doing. The receptionist were very rude about every situation raised. We have asked to extend our time in our room tomorrow on departure and they have said t

I will be honest I was really worried having read the bad reviews before we arrived for our holiday But I presently surprise we where situated in a ground floor apartment with disabled facilities as we had an elderly relative with us The room was very clean , spacious we did ask for a table and chairs inside the room as there was no where to sit and another mattress so higher bed for our disabled relative which was sorted straight away, The food was ok always something to eat most of the food tasted fresh ,but maybe a bit more choice would be great Entertainment us you typical kids disco , singer ect could be better But for a 3 star hotel I wasn't complaining Staff where amazing from start to finish my father in law become really ill and ended up with an ambulance and hospital and all the staff went above and beyond to help up , even when he couldn't fly home on departure day they kept the room on until he could fly home The Manager came every day and jet 2 rep Brent was brilliant couldn't thank them enough We will be back in the future

Just got home from a week's stay here with my daughter (12). I stayed 2 years ago when it was labranda. The improvements that have been made so far are great . All can't be done when people are there. Spoke to the manager whilst staying and he asked how things were and do we have any recommendations that could help improve. Food was good, new head chef in and can't complain for what you pay for.. All staff were fantastic and really helpful. The only thing I would say is that as you can book this hotel with waterpark passes included, a shuttle bus should be put on.
