Reviews of Oasis Papagayo Village, Corralejo

Just spent a week here with family for my 40th birthday. Ages ranged from 8 to 73. We all had a lovely holiday here. Hotel was exceptionally clean, 4 pools with ice hockey, pool and table tennis located on the side of the pool. The pool bar was reasonably priced with quick service. Also on site was tennis, volleyball and bowling. The entertainment was pretty good, although the kids party dances were somewhat bizarre, but the kids loved it nevertheless. Staff were helpful and friendly, and quick to respond to requests. The only negative about this hotel is the towels, they are old and only get changed twice a week. We took extra to combat this problem.



Off site, places good to eat are tiffinays, short walk to right of hotel, or in town the plasa offers a few restaurants, the showboat v was delicious and i had my birthday there. Also in the plasa is the 7 pints, excellent entertainment and would recommend the blues brothers show - very funny for all.



my mother was ill while we were there and she visited the medical centre, cheaper than the doctors as it was free compared to 50+euros, excellent service, just needed E11card. Hopefully you wont need this though.



Word of warning - take a jumper or 2 as gets very chilly in the night. enjoy we did.

Myself and my Wife in 30's decided upon the Oasis Papagyo for a cheap winter break to grab some sun and just relax. I was a little worried what the accommodation was like for just £350 per person for a week with Thompson but to be fair I was pleasantly surprised.



Oasis Papagyo is a few k from the main town but that doesn’t really matter as a taxi is very cheap or 10 min walk is easy enough. The room we were given at first was next to a family with a baby so I asked to change which was no probs. We didn't have children with us but if we did it would have been a very good place for them to go. The next room was nice and had everything you needed and was clean enough although the furniture was a little stained from cups etc but not unclean.



Breaking it down I would rate it like this. Room 7 out of 10. Points dropped as the bed was two singles and rather uncomfortable. The rest was great though. Nice place to sit outside the room. TV and the bits and bobs and lovely bathroom. Oh and the water was brown a few times when we ran it.



Pool etc. Lovely. 10/10. Warm enough mmmmmaybe a little cold but weather wasn’t great for us.



On site restaurant well have to say the Pizza was terrible if you can mess up a pizza then go knows what the other food was like. Oh and stay away from the Canarian Potatoes. We smuggled them out in our pockets cause we were too embarrassed not to have touched them.



Corallejo itself is nice enough. Not great shopping. Went to Jandia for the day and that was much nicer. Some great setups for the surf. 2 decent lefts in the main town but unfortunately onshore all week for us. Cottilo Beach 15 mins drive. Nice beach heavy beachie. You do get stung 12 euros each was for a board to go on the bus unfortunatly.



So all in all we are not complaining at all. We did not expect much for the price and were pleasantly surprised. I would go back with the children no problem at all or even just the two of us. Ok it was no Hilton but hey what do you expect.



Eat out cause the onsite food was not the best. Oh the breakfast was terrible as well so glad we were self catering. Half Board would have been a big waste of money. Better value to eat in town. (there was a fly in the orange juice machine and landed in my oj in the morn and the fry up looked pretty gross. The day we did eat there we just had bread juice tea coffee and bacon. That is 8 euros and you can get better in town or down the road at the lovely Spanish bakery with coffee seats oh yea that was great.



Ask for a different room if you are not happy and they will be fine. I should have asked for another bed but didn’t bother which I guess shows it wasn’t that bad.



Hire a car for 99 euros for 3 days through Thompson. Good value.



Oh. Entertainment shockingly amusingly bad.



So all in all I would go back cause it is winter sun without the long haul. Great place for the kids but if I had to book it now and did not want to surf I would probably have gone to Jandia.

just returned on 8/2/2008 been for 10 days ,after reading some reviews befor i went wished i was not going ,but it great value for money , apartments were clean but basic ,clean towels every other day ,but take tea towels as these are not changed ,gardens and pool area were lovely and well maintained lots of sun loungers, had dinner one night it was ok , but pleased we were self catering as we found lots of nice places to eat , supermarkets quite expensive around oasis , but hiper dino supermarket was a lot better .there is a 15 min walk to town which is quite boring as its through car parks . would go again . weather was mid 70 is was great , shame waterpark was shut for winter .

We returned from this resort after spending Christmas there. It was an attractive complex and supposedly 4 star. The apartments were basic which is fine, but on arrival we found them to be unclean.



The furniture was a distressed look but covered in tea stains and had not been cleaned for a while. Before unpacking I cleaned the whole apartment .even the drawers had bits of debris inside, the cleaners had obviously not cleaned our one for some weeks.



The cleaner in fact only came in on three occasions this was to empty rubbish and to fill up toilet rolls apart from this only our front room was mopped after requesting this after our third flood, as you will gather it rained and the hotel are not used to rain so the water hit the front door and ran straight underneath the front door and was covering all the floor.



We mopped it up all the time and had wet towels lying about for days.



When we told reception all that was offered were more towels to help mop it up with ,there was no offer to clean it up for us, just do it yourself basically, hardly four star. After about three days the rain stooped and the sun came out and the holiday started to improve.



Amenities on sight are very good .a good bowling alley and several bars and restaurants, not bad food, pizza restaurant very tasty, worth a visit, wouldn’t bother going to the steak house on sight though ,very dear not good value for money.



If our room was up to good cleanliness and the hotel staff more obliging with the floods then I would consider going back as complex very nice, buy should drop a star or two. We have stayed at lots of four star hotels and this did not compare at all.



The town of Corralejo is very nice and plenty to do and wonderful Chinese restaurants.

Oasis Papagayo is a wonderful and a brilliant place. I went there in 2006 with my nan and granddad. There were 5 pool's and a hot tub. The people that worked there were really friendly.



The food was really good. The pub's and bars were ok. The hotel was clean and tidied every day. They have a computer room and they have a kid's club which my cousin's went to and Thomson was really friendly to the children as well.



It was a great holiday, glad to go back this year. The pools are lovely as well - the kid's had lot's to do.



Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

The apartment was clean, functional, and very welcoming. The pools were immaculate and the surrounding areas were incredibly well kept.



The staff couldn't have been any more helpful, especially as none of our luggage got put on the plane and the Thomas Cook representative was worse than useless, and really didn't care about the situation.



But thanks to the staff at the complex we had an amazing holiday and can even laugh about the lack of luggage incidence now!



We'd definitely go back to the resort and the complex, only with another tour operator this time!

Fantastic place! We have just returned from our third visit to Oasis Papagayo and have already booked for next year. The first two years we have stayed in a 2 bed standard room via Thomsons, but last year we noticed some bigger detached villas with private pools over the back of the complex behind the two smaller chlorine pools. So after a bit of internet searching, managed to book ourselves one for last week. It was fantastic! 3 massive bedrooms, huge kitchen with washer/dryer, microwave, dishwasher, etc, 2 fully equipped bathrooms, free sat TV, heated outdoor pool, roof terrace, etc.



We had the maid in everyday, bed linen was changed twice during the week and the towels changed every single day. There are actually 5 pools and a jacuzzi here. There is the main pool which is saltwater and has a shallow childrens pool next to it which is also saltwater. Joined to this, down a slight slope, is quite a deep saltwater pool which is perfect and well thought about for those that don't want to be bothered by the younger children. The other pools are towards the back of the complex. They are smaller but chlorine water so we found them much better for our needs. There is also a jacuzzi hidden behind some trees here and a childrens play area.



We did not find this part of the complex on our first visit here as it is quite well hidden if your apartment is nearer the entrance! The main entertainment takes place around the saltwater pools so that's where you need to be if that's what you are after! If you want to relax without all that then the chlorine water pools are the place to be. There are PLENTY of sunbeds!



The kids clubs are a great bonus, they even have evening clubs some nights. The mini disco is so bad, its great! My 1 year old loved it! It is a nice walk to the town, takes around 20mins. We tended to get taxis back but were never more than 2euro 20 a night. Lots of lovely cheap places to eat. The meals were never more than 60euros for 6 of us (3 adults, 3 kids) and that included beer and wine.



The water park is a good day out but I think it is quite expensive, 116euros for a family of 5. The market (just before the water park) is held on a Monday and Friday and worth a visit. The supermarket on site isn't the cheapest but we were only buying basics as we ate out every night so didn't worry too much about it. Netto in town is slightly cheaper but not worth the bother for us.



The weather was fantastic last week, in the 30s. We went as a group of 14, aged from 40 to 1 and we all had a fantastic time. I would recommend this complex to everyone!

Had a brilliant holiday with the family, it was our second time there but we found plenty to do. Really chilled out but 1 week was enough. There is quite a walk from the hotel into Correlejo itself but a taxi is only a couple of quid.



Good restaurants are Di Napoli for Italian and Waikiki for something different. There are some nice little bars on the harbour, don't eat the bread in the restaurants that they give you (so you think it's free) because they will charge you (unless you're lucky).



Hotel was clean and reps were brilliant when we had to move rooms. Poolside entertainment was brilliant. LJ Cool and Kim Possible had us in hysterics and the variety performance by all of the reps was good fun, 'Pears' and adult 'flags' was entertainment at its best :D



Restaurant 'Don Carelone's' was a bit pricey but service was good.



If you are looking for something to do definitely book a trip on the Catalanza boat from the harbour, a well good day out and gorgeous views of Los Lobos and crew were fab.



Shops were alright, if you have a good look round you'll find some nice little quirky ones and some good clothes shops.



Brilliant holiday but don't know if we'd do it again.

Just returned home after a 2 week holiday within the oasis papagayo apartments.



Had a fantastic time, apartments very modern and plenty of room, no complaints with any of the hotel service, rooms/towels regular changed.



We mainly stayed during the day within the complex as there was so much going on for the children , plenty of sun beds (free) and the weather throughout was scorching-followed by the cool breeze. There are five pools- all great- lovely and clean.



The apartments are situated at a quiet end of Corralejo with small fair across the road, supermarket, pizza, bowling, waterpark and bapu market which is on every Friday & Monday-all well worth a visit- the water park is fantastic!



The main centre is a 15 min stroll away or taxis are around 2-3 Euros- plenty of them. Lots of places to eat- the Chinese / slow boat was amazing. The beaches are beautiful very clean.



Great entertainers LJj Cool/Kim Possible, everyone friendly the children loved the kids club-missing Charis from Paris, great nights of entertainment from all reps and acts alike!



Overall a great holiday, loads to see and do in this beautiful island-- would definitely return!

Stayed at Oasis Papagayo Village in Feb.



When we arrived given our room, went to the room to find rubbish still in room, bed still the same as what the last people left it, same sheets, not made, grime in the bathroom. So my husband went back to reception told them what the room was like we were given four rooms before we found one that had been cleaned.



That week we saw the maid once, ask about clean towels she said something in Spanish and turned and walked away.



It was a pity the food was good the staff were friendly I think our last minute booking didn’t help us.



Would I stay there again I think so, because I believe to give them a second chance and we know what Spanish hotels are like because my husband is a driver courier for coaches and take people to Costa Brava.

After a tedious coach transfer, which seemed to take forever (we'll book independently next time!), we arrived at the very well-presented Oasis Papagayo. Check in procedure was quick and our first floor, one-bedroom apartment was clean and spacious.



One minor criticism was that no bath towels had been left for us, only hand towels, and it was the following afternoon before we obtained the bath towels, but I'm sure this was a one-off.



Being a couple without children, we were a bit daunted about the fact that the complex has a kids' club. However, this was not disruptive at all. The complex has three pools, one of which doesn't have a kids' section hence there were few children around this pool. From what we saw, it looked an ideal place to stay for families. The pool/poolside bar areas are very nice and well maintained, with pretty gardens and lots of palm trees.



The only thing we didn't like about this place is that it's quite a way out of Corralejo town, around half an hour's walk. This was fine for a stroll in the sunshine during the day, but in the evening (especially when wearing heels!) not so great and we opted for taxis, the average one-way fare being about 3 Euros, give or take a little.



Having been to Corralejo last year, we were delighted to find our favourite bar still there and booming - Tattoos n Booze rock bar. Owner Sascha Albertz is very clued up on his heavy metal and was still as generous as ever with his Jaegermeister! We also had some great nights out in live acoustic music bars, the Rock Island Bar and Imagine, the latter featuring the funny and talented Eric Sijpestijn, who can play just about every instrument under the sun and gets crazier with each shot of Jaegermeister he knocks back. There are numerous excellent restaurants, notably El Sombrero, Poco Loco, Restaurant Eve and the Oasis Papagayo own superb Italian restaurant, Don Corleone.



The Thomson reps were at the complex every day and, whilst we didn't need to speak to them much, they came across as friendly and approachable. They certainly appeared to be very good with children.



Overall we had a very nice week at the Oasis Papagayo and would come here again, although we would prefer the Oasis Royal where we stayed last year, which is closer to Corralejo centre. But we can't complain considering we booked it only a week in advance.



I'm sure we'll keep returning to Fuerte in the future, as it's a lovely island.

Just arrived back from a great week at the Papagayo. Apts very clean, maids came in every day, towels changed four times, beds twice, more than I expected.



Found the reception staff very polite and helpful. Our toaster and sofa bed were both broken on arrival but after a word with reception they were replaced by new ones within the hour.



Pool area good clean and plenty of sunbeds. Main pools are salt water but soon got used to it and it certainly didn’t bother my children.



Papagayo is a good walk into town so either take some comfy shoes or take a taxi around 2 euro each way.



Spoilt for choice when eating out special mention to Slowboat 1 and 2, Gibson’s and Poco loco.



Go to Angels near the town beach for a great breakfast. Visited Baku Water Park 44 euro to go in 1 adult 2 children, book tickets with Thomson and get free locker and queue jump spent all day there though did take a picnic to cut costs.



All in all enjoyed our holiday very much though I wish the Papagayo was a bit closer to town.

Me and my boyfriend had a wicked 2 weeks holiday here! We were in room 109b. A bit of a mission to walk round the back but we found a shortcut so in the end it was ok!



Hotel was lovely. We had a 1 bedroom apartment. It was nice and clean. Only bad thing was that the tea towel we had in the room stank!! It wasn’t changed for the whole 2 weeks we were there! Ew.



The apartment itself was massive! The bedroom was nice and the beds were comfy. The bathroom was big. The shower was really good and powerful! The TV we had to pay for. Not really worth coz most of it is Spanish or German!



The entertainers LJ & Kim were great! LJ is a nutter! Always on the go all day & all night!



We didn’t really eat in the hotel. Only the Italian on site. It’s nice but a bit expensive! & You get harassed by the owner to look at his drawings!!







The town itself was lovely! We spent most of our time in the rock cafe! Really nice meals & cheap too! The house band were excellent too! They make really good cocktails!



We went to Wikiki (I think that’s how it’s spelt!) beach. It was nice. But the sun loungers are all together. The sea was nice & warm though!



I was sad to leave. I am defiantly going back next year!

Just got back from a great weeks holiday, on our first visit to the Island.

Weather was fantastic with a cooling breeze all the time which was excellent as our kids are 4 and 6, and not used to high temperatures all the time.



The Hotel room was clean and large (we had 1 bedroom) with a shower over the bath which was useful for the kids.



Food was quite good, although breakfast was better than evening meal, but we did get a bit bored towards the end of the week.



Italian restaurant on the complex was good but not cheap, other restaurants nearby but did not really use them.



Swimming pools were excellent and we liked the salt pools, did not seem over crowded although the hotel was busy.



Entertainment for the children was excellent and the Reps were very friendly and enthusiastic, not just in the evening but for kids club in the day, and also around the pools all day there was some activity or another taking place for those that wanted to take part.



Beach and town is about a 20 minute walk but we just took a taxi ( under 3 euros ).

Overall we found this a very good place to take our holiday and we would go back.

Hi guys, just come back from Oasis Pap. The complex is excellent for families and couples. The pools and grounds are excellent. Very clean and tidy. There are about 5 pools 3 main pools and 2 kids pools just over the other side.



Most the people were brits and it wasn`t too busy when we went at the end of June. We went with Thomson the reps were excellent the entertained all through the day and night.



The only thing I could put against this complex were the rooms. The one we had was a bit grubby. Cob webs in corners and sofa bed had stains. It may only have been ours that was like this we only went self catering. It was basic no air con (pay to hire a fan 20 Euros p/w).TV you also have to pay for only 3 English channels sport news and films.



About 6 Euros a day for that. It’s a 10 min walk down the main road to the centre.



There are a few little English pubs cafe at the end of the complex good food not badly priced. Super market joined next door but is pricey so is Iceland at the bottom, go to Netto in Corralejo.



Corralejo has great places to eat along the front small sea food restaurants. For all you Neil diamond fans go to cast aways great entertainment run by a friendly English couple.



Hong Kong do a good Chinese buffet 7 Euros each not bad. To get back jump in a taxi 3 Euros a go taxis drivers are good no messing about.



On the whole it’s not a bad place to go oasis pap looked liked the best hotel there don’t let the rooms put you off going...
