I'm giving this accommodation a 6/10. We booked an All Inclusive package but weren't overly impressed with the food choice. If you liked chips and potatoes then fair enough but after 3 days it became a bit much. We actually ate out in the town 3 out of the 7 nights. The... more

It's excellent . . . but . . . from A TripAdvisor Member
We (myself, wife and 7 year old daughter) booked through First Choice online. I nearly booked a junior suite but instead decided to go for the less expensive family room. All the time expecting to be staying in the hotel, because that's what the website showed the hotel. Anyway, we arrived at the hotel to be told that we would be staying in the annexe, which is set like a little Spanish village made up of apartments. The apartment we were given was the furthest away from the hotel but overlooked a pool and was on the second floor. However the walls were dirty with footmarks and the previous occupants had left their names engraved on the coffee table, not what i would call 3-4star accommodation. I protested strongly at the reception and was eventually given a superb apartment with a huge balcony. I would have to stay that the staff at the reception and in particular Maria were outstanding at dealing with me an angry Glaswegian and also dealing with the problem. FYI The hotel only has rooms for two unless you book a junior suite. That was the bad bit. Now the good bit - what a location and what a beach! This beach was the best I have ever been on, even my wife, who does not normally go in the sea was in it every day enjoying the big waves, great fun. The food in the hotel was of very good quality although by the end of the holiday I was weary of the amounts on offer, in the hotels defence I would have to say that I was alone with this problem. The wine was very good white and red and the service at the bars was great. The shows were ok but don't expect too much. The hotel was very clean with an army of cleaners mopping and polishing constantly. The kids club is definately biased toward the German guests who were in the majority while we were there. We found the hotel's Germanic guests very courteous and friendly but they still have a genetic problem booking sunloungers before sunrise. We hired a car for 4 days and toured the island, without going into too much detail Correlejo our nearest town was a dissappointment, English bars with breakfasts for 1 euro etc, no thanks. It was also dirty. Caleta de Fuste half way down the island on the east was a much better cleaner resort. The far south looked nice, Jandia in particular but if you have nerves of steel and want to see a 9km stretch of sand with great waves go to Cofete in the south west. The car journey is scary, but fun, well it was for me but not for my wife. In summary the hotel and it's location is great with great staff just be careful what apartment you get.
Canary Caribbean experience from A TripAdvisor Member
Wow???? I have just returned from my second visit to this now all inclusive hotel and it was fantastic. The service was second to none and nothing was to much trouble for any of the staff from the gardeners up to management. The food was excellent with a varied diet catered for and all nationallities virtually covered. If you want a week or two away from it all this is the place to go. The sea and beaches are on a par with the carribean and very clean. as were the swimming pools with ample sunbeds available for all guests. Can't wait to go back.
Fun in the sun from SinbadtheSailor
Just returned from my second visit to this hotel this year. Very well managed with the directorate allways on hand and mixing with the guests. The food is well presented and varied, although the lunchtime menu in the pool snack bars has become sameish since my visit in January. Staff extremely friendly and eager to try to converse. Probably the cleanest of all the European hotels that I have stayed in. Staff are constantly collecting glasses, plates and generally tidying. Although at times windy, we experienced wall to wall sunshine for the whole of the fourteen days. The only downside was to be woken at daybreak by the sound of the waves crashing onto the beach and the scraping of the sunbeds as our German friends arranged their pitches for the day. The hotel will remain popular as long as the standard is maintained, as there are more and more hotels going "All inclusive" on this intriguing island!
Good Rest. from Thorneywork
The location of this hotel is wonderful, toped by great weather it made for a great break. My room was ok but not a major issue for myself - The hotel staff are as said in previous reviews very freindly and happy to give great measures at the bar. The food is good and one concern I had was it would be a free for all, but very little waiting and very calm and orderly - good atosphere in the main dining area. I also ate in the Mandrin and the Canarian reastrants which I found the Canarian superior as the Mandrins main courses were a bit lacking in flavour. The only complaint the daft times they wanted you to book for the specailist reastrants, but during my stay they were only ever half full and so it was easy enough to get a table on the night and I even got them to let me book for the following night while having a meal there. I have not done a fully inclusive previously and although fantastic value I would think twice about this again purely on the ground the local community is suffering with lots of businesses closing down. I also found I did not always feel like going back for lunches and could not get packed lunches aless I made them myself at breakfast and if this is what you plan to do you need some tuperwear or somthing to put it in other than a napkin which was what I used. The good thing was Reception gave out bottles of water freely for your rooms and beach. I traveled with first choice and they will be my first choice next time I look for a package. It was also good that there was no time difference and I liked the fact I could get a british paper the same day to keep up to date with the football.
Excellent-Visit March 2005 from A TripAdvisor Member
Read previous reviews before we went.You could not fault the Hotel(the rooms are not 4*),the hotel facilities,especially the food was very good,one of the best all inclusive we have been to.Ask for a poolside facing room on an upper level as it gets the sun ,the rooms on the other side are a bit dark,Note they all have a seaview,(just about).Plenty of sun loungers for everyone but the hotel does suffer from the "Early German Sun Bed Syndrome"you need to be very early to get the better positionsThe hotel had about 5%English when we were there. The only downside is we like relative piece and quiet and the daily pool/poolside activities and evening entertainment was it bit like Butlins !Overall though a very good holiday.
The perfect dream holiday!!!!!! from A TripAdvisor Member
We went here on december 29th for one week. We have never been to fuerteventura and was guite worried as we had heard mixed reviews. How ever this was the best holiday we have ever had. We are a family of 5 and we have been to lots of different places around the world including the carribean and florida , this holiday is one of our favourite! The Hotel was very clean and all the staff were very friendly. Having 3 young children it was perfect . The hotel had lots for them to do including a kids club, a park , and someone came round all day playing games with them. The pools were clean and had lots of sun beds.( you didnt need to reserve one!!) The food was first class for adults and children. The location of the hotel is also perfect. we sent lots of time on boards sliding down the sand dunns. WOULD DEFINATLY GO AGAIN. It should be a Five star hotel.!!!!!!!!!
All inc indulgence from A TripAdvisor Member
Just back (Jan 05) from a weeks stay at this newly refurbished hotel. It was upgraded to 4* all inc in 2004, and the standards of service reported previously have been maintained. Good and varied food served in 3 different restaurants. Booze on tap 24hrs a day. You can be served at the bar or help youself from draft beer/wine taps provided. Very convenient ! Dont expect an intimate boutique hotel. The complex is large (and somewhat sixties concrete style) comprising 400 hotel rooms, and 400 apartment style family rooms in an annexe in the grounds, all of good standard. There are activities laid on day and night (not that we used them much) The night entertainment is holiday camp naff and catering for large proportion of german guests. Easy enough to avoid ! We stayed off season so occupancy was perhaps 60%, but would be wary in full summer season as hundreds of guests descending on the large dining room at breakfast turn it into a school refectory of movement and noise. That said, the dining staff are unfailingly polite and helpful and very prompt with plate clearing etc. The hotel is an excellent choice for families. Soft drinks and ice cream on tap and staff make a fuss of kids! It is also right on a superb beach and very private as only 2 hotels built in this conservation area. Also nice pool area(s), heated in winter. Note that kids club staff are all german and not helpful to non-german speaking kids. Perhaps inevitable as hotel quite german orientated. Overall a good all round choice for families or couples wanting quiet releaxed beach holiday with no hassles and all inc facilities. Good value, especially for families in one room, but expect prices to rise when the new brand becomes established. Couples should ask for higher floor high number room as these have best sea views (very nice).
Our hideaway from woodshak
Have now visited Hotel Riu Oliva Beach Hotel some 6 times, usually to snatch a week or two break early and late for a complete rest. There is little to do ( lovely !!) Lots of sunshine ( lovely !!) and peace apart from the usual wind and noise of the sea. Although we have noticed that the rooms could do with a facelift, they are still spotlessly clean and the maids are really friendly and helpful. I got a big hug from our maid when we left in March. The manageress is most attentive as are the reception staff. Food is plentiful and varied and although most of the guests are German, there is still plently to choose from. The roast beef is some of the best we have ever tasted anywhere. It is the best place in the world that we know of to go for a complete rest. A car is useful but there are frequent busses into Correlejo.
Closest Experience to Carribean from A TripAdvisor Member
Myself and my partner travelled to Riu Olivia Beach in summer 2002. What a location ! The beach it's situated on is the closest you will get to Carribean sands, white sand, turqoise sea and a really laid back chilled atmosphere, I really did not want to leave this beach paradise at the end of my two weeks. Accomodation was lovely, simple clean, airy and quite modern. Staff were lovely and the fact that this accomadation was right in the middle of a beach world made it all the more alluring. Food was good, however was centred more towards German tastes, however, the restaurant provided varied choices of cuisine and the presentation was good. Would I go back ? Yes, in a flash. Highly Recommended !!
best ever from A TripAdvisor Member
I visited this hotel for the third time with a friend in March 2004. The staff are the most friendly and polite I have ever come across. The food is first class as is the location. I recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to have a relaxing holiday away from the rat race
