Oasis Papagayo Village Reviews
" Quite a nice place but only two... "
Submitted By: Mr S JuddThe resort itself we thought was a bit tacky, ok if you want a full English breakfast and a couple of episodes of Eastenders though! Find the 'old Town' if you want a bit more than Blackpool with sun, it's far better.
Recommended places to eat:
La Tasca (on the left as you come into Corallejo) after the Netto.
There is a 'Grill' place on the right hand side of the road on the way down to Waikiki beach, can't remember what it was called.
The Slow Boat V Chinese (just fancied it one night)! One of the best Chinese meals I have ever had, bit further down from Las Tasca.
Places to avoid:
There's an 'All in one' venue which has Indian, Mexican, Chinese and a pub in the same 'Square'. We had the Mexican which was awful.

Submitted By: Miss K Taylorreps lil kimmy and bouie are at the mian pool all day with activites and enteretainment for children, there is a little for adults but not uch, this would be my only complaint. in the evening there is live entertainment for children and adults in the clubhouse which is all done by the reps, monday nights here are fantastic.
walk down to the town in only 10minutes not long at all and a very easy walk, although it is nly 2-3 euros for a taxi. loads of places to eat, shop and have a good time. recommend the plaza, went hear to both the steak house and the chinese, dont recommend the chinese but defo the steak house, best steak ive ever tasted.
the slow boat chinese buffet on the other side of the street is very good, also good value for money.
down the road from the oasis papagayo village there is little cafe called tiffanys, this is a brittish place, the food is very nice and on a sunday there is a sunday roast.
beware the sun is very hot, there is always a breeze so you dont always feel the real heat, we made the mistake of going out in the sun for 2 hours with no suncream on, this was a bi mistake as we got burnt badly and had sunstroke, we were unable to go out the following 2 days. so always wear suncream!!
will defo go back here next year, most amazing holiday yet.
recommended to everyone although mainly families as there is creches, kidsclubs etc.

Submitted By: Mrs K Bellwe had heard that there had been a brake in one night so payed to use the safe in our apt, one negative thing was no aircon ,the nights were a pain especialy when you suffer with prickly heat like my self and was to frightend to open windows due to could be burgulars and nats (they love me).
our kids loved the kids clubs and so did we(peace) the kids zone reps were brillant! they really were and our 3 loved them even our daughter who is shy, oh and we had a couple of evening meals on our own due to kidzone fantastic!
food at pool bar was fine but pricey so we just bought it takeaway rather then at the tables it was a lot cheaper. the kids icecreams were about 250 euros each which when youve got 3 kids and their having 2 a day it adds up so we bought them from the shop on site, although the shop was the dearest on the island it woked out a lot cheaper.
we always ate out in the centre which was about a 15 min walk which we allways got a taxi to and back, not because were lazy but hotel entertainment was at set times so allways on a time limit. taxi cost 2-3 euros but would never take 5 persons so allways had to get 2.
water park opp was a great day out we all loved it as we did the oasis park trip really great day kids loved the camel rides.
At wknds small funfair opp was good 4 little ones and good bowling too, would def go back to papagayo everything to keep the kids happy so if their happy then we are.
" Yet again another great holiday at... "
Submitted By: Mr G Watson3rd time of visiting and will def go back, entertainment good, kidzone excellant and reps approachable and very knowledgeable.
minor gripes cleaning not ever so clever, and towels need to be changed more often but otherwise a super holiday again. Location is fine dont be put off, a taxi takes 2 mins to main street and some recomendations for dining are Beleten restaurant, La Factoria for the best pizza/pasta in Corralejo and Slow boat 2 in the Plaza for Chinese.
Also go to the Oasis Park in La Lajita with the kids, excellant day out.
Baku Waterpark has great slides/flumes but is very expensive and please make sure you slap on loads of cream as they will not let you wear t shirts or hats. I burnt quite badly so beware.

Submitted By: Mrs M EynonOff 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.

Submitted By: Mr N DrakeOasis 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.

Submitted By: Mrs M MullettThe 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.

Submitted By: Miss T CanavanThe 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.

Submitted By: Miss A GoreThe 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!








Overall, great place, lovely people, so clean and spacious. Top notch hotel, would go back again, no hesitation!
