Atlantic Gardens Apartments

Very relaxing holiday not suitable for family or young couples as absolutely nothing on the resort to do .
Bar has happy hours but no entertainment and people only seem to go at happy hour times .

Great hotel location but room location was not. Ground floor apartment for my family and I(despite our previous request months earlier for an upper apartment) stayed for 11 nights and 7 or 8 of the mornings were woken by cleaning/gardening staff (at 7/8am)shouting across to each other or cleaning in the apartment upstairs or cutting down bushes/trees right outside our bedroom. Also, on our first morning, had an invasion of what can only be described as a million ants in the kitchen...!!YUCK!!
There was a industrial sized communal bin on the outside of our bedroom wall, hence, the early birds/resort staff kindly woke us when they would let the huge lid slam shut, echoing off our wall.
The pools were great, much used by my daughter and close to amenities, restaurants and beaches.

After reading some of the previous reviews of this hotel i was a bit apreshensive on arrival. Once we were there the hotel was lovely, staff very friendly and hotel was next door to supermarket and small shopping centre. The main town centre is only a 5min walk from the hotel. It is in an ideal location for the beach and to the centre. The hotel is great value for the money you pay. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wishin to stay in Corralejo and i shall be returning there next month for another holiday.

Booked this resort through interval time shares. Could't believe it! dirty- cockroaches galore every day when we returned from the beach and after being out in the evening- we never opened the windows so it was nothing to do with us. The bathroom was a joke- the ceiling was held up with cellotape and bugs apeared through the many gaps in it.
The ground floor balcony was peermanently in the shade - not a pleasant place to sit. Door handles were coming away from the wood and all had broken locks.The kitchen units were sagging off the wall.The pools were freezing cold and full of bugs.
Cats were using the volcanic gravel ouside our rooms as a giant cat litter tray.
When our flight home was cancelled due to the volcano eruptions, we packed up and moved to a fabulous apartment 50 yards down the road called the Maxorata beach where we spent four fantastic days.
Take my advice, give the place a miss!

After reading some of the reviews we were a bit apprehensieve but it was all unfounded. We were on the ground floor, the balcony was in the shade but made the room nice and cool. Room very clean and in good condition, nice pool area, nice and quiet, this is the fourth place we have stayed in Corrolejo and would go back again.

Was put off a little after reading some previous reviews but thought it was fine for the price. Not as clean as it could have been but I've stayed in worse! The grounds were great, with 2 pools and a kiddies pool. We called our room 'the cupboard under the stairs' as the entrance to the room was under the stairs and the sun was blocked from the terrace by trees & bushes so it felt dark all the time. We felt a little vunerable after my beach towel was taken from the terrace area but that was at the end of the holiday so we didn't ask to be moved. There isn't a lot of nightlife near the aptmts, which are in quite a residential area, so we walked to the harbour area every night. Great choice of restaurants and bars there, and felt safe walking back even though it was late & quiet.

Appartments were very basic smelly and the furniture was dirty. The outside pool areas were quite good as for our patio area it was the home of 3 cats which had made their resting place on the patio table so we wern't able to use it. The bed wern't made or changed the whole of the holiday and we had to ask at the reception for clean towels on several occasions. Overall Fuerteventura was a fantastic place but we wont be staying at the Atlantic Gardens if we go next time.

I'm 29, male, and just wanted to spend a nice simple week of relax and fun, on my own, far from the noise of the city.
I had a very pleasant stay for 7nights.
The ApartHotel is a very pretty complex a 5 min walk from the seaside in the town of Corralejo, with 3 well-kept swimming pools and a friendly bar; internet access is available at reception.
It is a short (and pleasant) 10 min walk from the main street with shops and bars, but still It is located in a very quiet area, which is good for chilling out and relaxing.

The staff was helpful and cheerful.
I had booked a studio just for myself.
The studio was squeaky clean, large and furnished with kitchenware as well - very useful. I was given clean towels, and my bed was done nearly every day.
I hired a car with autoeurope, with whom I had a great experience. Although you can travel easily by bus, but you cant reach some of the beautiful beaches - my favourite was at El Cotillo, in front of the Cafe Torino (get garlic shrimps and local potatoes!), north of the town centre.
I'd suggest you to hire a car. Its damn cheap (112 euros for 7 days, insured down to the last cent) and fuel is half the price that in the mainland EU.
There's aplenty of free parking space in front of the ApartHotel for your car.
A few tips. For my holiday I bought.
I used Amazon.co.uk
*Fuerteventura (AA Island Maps)
Incredibly useful if you want to to discover this beautiful island by car.
*AA Spiral Guide Fuerteventura (AA Spiral Guides)
It did the job, a few good tips and an good overall guide to the the Island.
Well worth the 7 pounds spent on it.
*When you get to the airport,
dont forget to go to the Tourist Office and ask for the Road Map of the Island and for Town Map of Corralejo. You'll need them.
*Stay away from the supermarkets in the centre, try different ones in the towns skirt.
*If you're coming from a long period of not seeing proper sun, you'll need a 30 sunlotion.
ps.
Dont forget your driving license
Dont forget your travel adapters
Go on, enjoy this beautiful island and your stay at this lovely, well-located, and friendly apart-hotel. All at a very chap price - I paid 140pounds for 7 nights.
Quality= Price/Service.
So, ApartHotel represents very good quality indeed.

spent 2 weeks at the atlantic gardens in august this year (2008) we found the hotel more than adequate for what we wanted hotel staff very friendly and helpful we found the local bars and restraunts good value

On the whole it was alright just a few things like the pictures you see of the rooms are of private apartments,the furniture in our apartment had seen better days.The only telly you can watch is spanish, there was no telephone in room as advertised,we had to wait at least 20mins for water to heat up between showers,not enough to have a bath.if you like cats thst fine as there are loads of them lucky we were on the top floor which i was thankful for not a cat lover.They could really do with security at night anyone can come and go as they please we were woken at 2.30 in morning with about 10 youths sreaming and jumping in the pool this went on for 45mins.We were lucky to have a poolside apartment,some of the views from the other apartments were not all that good.Staff were very good pools are a little cold when first getting in after a min they are fine.Plenty of sunbeds.May not sound like we enjoyed holiday we did,although would not stay here again.
