Hotels Near Caleta del Marrajo in La Oliva

We had a four night stay just before the new year, we went on a bed and breakfast basics plenty of choice for breakfast. El cotillo is a lovely laid back area with lovely restaurants more authentic than other areas of fuerteventura.The hotel is in a great location easy to get to beaches and restaurants in the town, rooms have everything you need comfortable bed and pillows maids do a great job with housekeeping spotless. We will be back to el cotillo for sure and this hotel can’t wait will stay for longer next time.

Just returned from a very nice few days at this complex. Arrived at 1330 hours on a week day to find entrance door secure. ( which is good as it prevents unwanted visitor). There is a phone number provided to contact reception, who pass the door code to you. ( a problem if you do not use a mobile, rare I know) Once in, was greeted by a nice young lady who gave me the lock box number for my room B2. I must say on first impression I was a little disappointed on the approach it was tuck down between two staircases to the up stairs apartments. The seating area probably only get a max of 2 hours sun, but is sheltered from the wind and gives a narrowed view of the pool. The inside of the apartment was very spacious, with a double and a single bedroom. All very clean and tidy. Large storage wardrobe in the double, much bigger than I have a home. Kitchen area is equipped with a ceramic hob, over, microwave and washing machine. Enough utensils to use, although could do with some mugs, wine and large tumblers. No salt and pepper though. Bathroom is okay, Just a shower cubicle, but plenty of hot water. Towels were lovely and soft. The lounge/ diner had a four seater table and a sofa, big enough for 2 adults. There was a smart TV, showing Spanish only programmes, but with a faculty to change the language to the country of origin. Also was able to cast download programmes from my phone and watch the cricket from Youtube. The complex had a small pool and kiddie paddling area and plenty of sunbeds. Next to the complex is a decent supermarket. The complex in on the edge of town, but only a 10 minutes walk, also the same for the beach. I'm not into lively bars and shopping areas, so the resort suited me. Would I go back to the accommodation, yes, I would, but would try to secure an upper floor location.

Reception were very accommodating to our requests prior to arrival. On arrival Cat checked us all In but also let us go Eat as we had just arrived and lunch was nearly finished. Food options- weren’t bad - I’m A fussy eater so I did eat more or less the same Thing every day…. But for those willing to try something there is always a great selection of Food. Pool Bar - tea, coffee, cold drinks all Available all day…. Food at pool Bar -pizza and hot dogs you pay for separately but there is sandwiches(you just need to ask As they are in the fridge) crisps, nuts and ice cream available all day. Crater Park on site was good fun for all Ages, no Issues getting sun-beds etc maybe not always ones with parasols but still No issues - Our villa felt like it as furthest away from the reception which wasn’t ideal with young kids and Mil with walking difficulties but it wasn’t the end of the world (10/15 min walk) ideally some Daisy bikes For hire for the week would Have been great! Or electric buggies of some sort- although again rec gave us a lift down with our bags and picked us up on the way back with them So again super helpful. When we did have issues we called rec and it was fixed straight away…. All The team were super friendly from bar staff, housekeeping, maintenance, gardeners etc etc (apart from one lady in restaurant who was snappy with us when we moved a table so all 9of us could Sit together - she said we weren’t allowed to do that even though we had done the last 6 days) just her attitude was a bit off there are nicer ways to be with guests. But a special shout out to Cat who was superb at her job - she remembered us(hopefully not for bad reasons haha) when we decided to get a private transfer for the way back to airport she sorted that out for us with no issues- feel like she went above and beyond for us and was always smiling. A credit to your team! Thank you again Cat for going that extra mile.

We are a couple in our 40’s and just back from a weeks stay. I am giving my honest review On arrival seems nice and clean and located at the top end of the strip so close to everything. We were given our room and on the map was so far away from everything but thought see when we get there. Our room was 2235 and was a good 10 mins walk from reception and the whole block looked tatty paint falling off the walls and wow the room door was filthy it’s a coat of paint not a major job! Room was just ok don’t be fooled by the delux double it’s far from tbh. I went back to reception and asked to be moved and told was fully booked judging by the empty rooms I saw over the next few days think someone was telling fibs to be honest so just made the best I don’t exaggerate when I saw be careful in the shower 10-15 mins a time to try get the water from freezing to red hot no in between got burned to many times so cold showers were safer. Breakfast was standard but most are to be honest. The evening meal although was not bad was like the m62 in rush hour I stood in a Que for 15 mins to get meat as only cook 6 pieces a time felt sorry for the guy on it he got the brunt but was told management told them can’t cook more than that at any one time so 100 hungry people you can imagine what is like it’s really not big enough I’d hate to be there high season. Can’t fault the staff at all you can see they are trying so hard felt for them. Pool is clean enough and plenty of beds. To sum it up if location is your main priority then it’s spot on but don’t be fooled rooms not delux at all was told all the same and if your in the end block you want your walking boots. We have been to Corralejo 5 times and definitely the bottom of our list of where we stayed it’s not a 4 star at all compared to our experience. We definitely won’t return I’m afraid again not a reflection on the staff but it’s tired needs a good lick of paint and a lot of tlc.

We stayed at the Playa Park Zensation as a short break to celebrate my daughters birthday. It proved a really delightful location to unwind and also have some fun. The check-in process took a little while, but we were greeted by the friendly faces of Antonio and Thomas, who took care of us during our short stay. Antonio and Thomas are a credit to the hotel, as they were friendly, approachable and always tried to help. Thomas helped organise us a taxi and we found a bottle of bubbly and a birthday note for my daughter - which was a nice touch. The Hotel and room was very well presented and the room always immaculate. The food was a good standard with lots of great salad, fruit, and pizza! Very good pizza! We had a meal 'a la carte' which meant we could have a steak, salmon or pasta made fresh. This was my daughter's birthday night, so the staff brought out a cake with candle and sang happy birthday. Again, nice touch! The food selection was great and snacks and drinks available on all inclusive. We had an hour in the spa, which was nice to do - to 'say we had done it'. Yes, the large pool was cold - but we are from Yorkshire, and quite used to cold water :-D The mid pool was heated slightly more. We were not premium all inclusive - so had to arrange a ticket to go up onto the infinity pool rooftop. This was nice, with good views and felt more private- again, the pool was chilly - but had to do it - as my daughter really wanted to! Good location - 10 min 8euro taxi to Hotel Riu / Dunes and lovely beach. 5 min 5euro taxi to 'town' / beach etc. Nice market on thursday 10-15 minute walk and can also get to a small 'popcorn' beach 'Playa Vista Lobos'. The park opposite was nice for a stroll around one night, seemed like the locals were using a bbq area and having a fun time. The area generally felt safe and had no worries about walking about at night and getting around. We were checked out by 1100, but able to leave our luggage with reception - so we could eek out a few more hours to enjoy. We did so- to the max, doing everything we set out to do. The Playa Park is doing a great job. We had a lovely, memorable time for my daughters birthday, thanks largely to the hardworking staff.
