Very fair review, yes it is tired now but has everything as you describe, yes we keep coming back each year too. Looking forward to our next visit. All the staff are lovely, helpful and polite too as you would hope. Apartments serviced every other day. Even left us a Happy Birthday card and bottle of wine when we have had our respective 😢birthdays there ! Much appreciated.
The staff are amazing, we returned for years. But loyalty wasn’t improving our experience to be honest. We’ve since been across the road to the barcelo ( which is a lot more expensive but the quality is more enjoyable). Corralejo is an amazing town.
Loving the video Gary - like you say cleanliness is key - and the rest (depending on your budget) doesn't matter. Refurbs cost money so would be passed onto the guests - how much I dont know. Shaun
Yeah, the cost is always pushed onto the consumer. But Corralejo is a growing tourist hotspot and if they don't keep up with the maintenance, care of the grounds and apartments, then people will eventually look elsewhere . Loyalty to a brand is only as good as the brand..
We stayed at the Fuentepark in April 2022 and we weren't very pleased. As you said in your video the furniture is a bit old, but that was not our main concern. During our stay the cleaned the apartments very bad. We had some dust on the floor which was not cleaned up, but only moved from one side of the room to the other side. Also we had an apartment at the upper floor and no roof at the balcony. During the morning it was freezing cold in the shadow and after the sun comes round, it was way to hot to sit on the balcony. Maybe we just were unlucky with the Fuentepark.
I do think it’s definitely a marmite property. I wasn’t happy at the cleaning and towels being cut down on replacing. But we tried to keep it clean as went along and asked for towels at reception and was always delivered to the room straight away. We’ve always been on the ground floor so been lucky.
@@GaryAbrahamActor ah ok thanks! Mother in law owns a property on the island so kids will be spending some days over at hers so will be perfect cheers!

Hi mate! Thanks for the review! Can I ask is the sofa a pull out bed? Thinking of coming here 2 adults and 2 children cheers
Thanks for the comment. It’s a pull out type bed, not the most comfortable but it’s ok.
