Oasis Papagayo

I came here only for my personal swimming sessions. Pefect pool, you always have an online plan where you can see when the pool is very occupied and when not. 40Eur for 1 month. The pool is heated, I think to approximately 26-27°C so perfect also for longer swimming sessions

I stayed here with my partner in January 2020. We booked with Jet2, having fancied a last-minute break away in the sun. It was my first time to Fuerteventura, and I have to say, I loved the island! I have been to all of the Canary Islands now, and this one was by far my favourite. It's true what they say about the beaches, they are beautiful! It's also a lot cheaper than Tenerife, which we normally go to once a year. Oasis Papagayo, was 'ok'. Let’s start with the good points: Staff were extremely friendly, especially the reception staff. They seemed very accommodating and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. The facilities at the hotel are great, the outside space is perfect. There are busy spots around the pool with activities for children, and there are also quiet spots away from the noise. There are numerous pools to use and, you could spend hours out there around the pool lounging in the sun, drinking and enjoying yourself. The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed! Beds were comfy, and we had a separate living area and kitchen. It wasn’t crammed with utensils and facilities, but it had what you needed for an all-inclusive stay. It was also cleaned daily. The location for us was perfect, although it is important to note that this may not be for everyone. The hotel is on the very outskirts of Corralejo. It’s a flat walk of about 20 minutes to Corralejo Beach and the shops. This meant there was little to no noise at night and allowed us to have a nice peaceful sleep, however it may be a little quiet/far out for some, so it’s worth bearing this in mind. If you don’t fancy the walk, it costs 3 euro’s in a taxi to get to the centre of the main town/beach, so no big deal! So, the ‘not so good’ points about the hotel: “All Inclusive” The food, in our opinion, was below standard, sometimes inedible, and clearly mass produced and of poor quality. After eating at the hotel a few times, we made the decision to eat out for the rest of the holiday. My partner is a vegetarian, and he had to eat the same meal every time because there weren’t any other options. For me, there were more options, but the food was bland, and luke warm! Nothing I ate was hot at all. The Drinks were also poor! The wine tasted grim, and there weren’t any options for spirits in the day. The only drinks available in the day time were Local Beer, and Local Wine, both of which tasted gross. So – in summary, if I was to stay here again, I’d book self-catering and eat out daily. The onsite Pizzeria is a good option, however not included in the All-Inclusive package.

I must say I am a returning customer due to a fantastic stay last year. (Rooms were a little dated last year but this year were repainted and modified with new lighting in the bedroom etc.) It seems they have paid attention to reviews and fixing the neagtive comments which was good to see. We booked a while ago for a family of 3 but then coahersed my mother in law to come and booke another room nearer to the holiday date. I had emailed the resort to ask if we could have rooms near each other if possible as she was elderly and new to the resort. Within 15 minutes we had a response to say they were glad for us to be returning and they would do what they could depending on availability. Turns out we had an upstairs apartment and the downstairs too so thank you for help with the rooms. Food was great and always seemed to have something we liked each night. (Mexican night was my favourite) Animation team were excellent and thanks to Viktor, Mafilda, Aaron and Alex for all the activities and making them fun and my son was made welcome in all the activities too, in fact they were great with all the kids and adults ! Mafilda is worth going to watch sing even if you were not at this hotel wow. Not forgetting Viktor who remembered us from last year which was my sons favourite then but this year Aaron was his favourite, sorry Viktor. Sorry for long post but thought I should put my views forward as some of the negative reviews dont seem valid in my opinion. For the price we paid this was certainly value for money. I have not put anything else in about the hotel but should mention the gym to burn off the all inclusive meals and spin classes, yoga which were all free plus many more. Keep up the good work and we will see you all next year!
