Barceló Corralejo Sands

Just returned from a lovely week at this fabulous hotel. I would recommend this resort as the hotel is just around the corner from the main shopping centre which we liked as we were holidaying with our teenage daughter. Having access to shops when needed was convenient for us and us women like shopping! Food - we thought the food was nice and on Xmas day it was outstanding. The bar area in the hotel is very reasonably priced think a cocktail around €7 euros and they were excellent! Entertainment - we thought the shows were very good. Didn't feel the need to go outside the hotel tbh on an evening with a very good show every evening and very good and reasonably priced drinks the bar area is nice and relaxing. Pool area - this is lovely and the hotel is very clean. Beautiful palm trees surround the pool and it is wonderful. Staff - amazing as everyone is so friendly and helpful. This really is why the hotel stands out from others as we found everyone to be so helpful and welcoming they are spot on with their customer service. The only downside if I had to say one was that there were not many younger guests and as we were travelling with our teenage daughter (only child) and she normally likes making new friends her age. Maybe because water park closed and island a lot quieter than Tenerife but I wouldn't let this put you off. Trips - we went to the zoo (highly recommend it was fab and a bus picks you up from the hotel). Think it takes an hour each way and you get to see the island. Excellent animal shows and the animals all look very well cared for. Dune buggy - my daughter and I did this and we both really enjoyed it. The buggy office is only 5 minutes walk from the hotel and this trip was great fun. Hired a car - went to the old capital called Betancuria was beautiful, La Olivia (nice with a lovely nativity) and port de Rosario (capital). Clothes are a lot cheaper than the UK as the large clothes shopping centre has a huge Zara! Would I recommend this hotel - yes .

Not one for writing reviews. Stayed for two weeks with friends and family. Service provided was excellent and could not have asked for more. All staff were very attentive to any of our needs. The receptionist Maria and Paula went out of their way to ensure my mother-in-law was looked after as she had heart surgery the year before. Best family hotel anyone can stay at and centrally located in town. Rooms are very spacious and pool is salt water and very good. Food is great and very varied and accommodate anyone’s needs.

Loved my stay in room 1211. Was delightful. Pool and facilities were fantastic. I’m a fussy eater and always found plenty on offer. Staff all hardworking and the place is spotless. The gardening team and cleaners work so hard and maintain excellent standards that sets this hotel out. Special mention to Micheal within the pool bar. Joseph and Maurcio (Italian waiter) I’m sure that was his name and Paola at reception for excellent observation, commitment and communication. Really impressed with the standard and loved every minute. The management maintain excellent training and service and couldn’t help that notice the holidays tag/ motto was all the small things make the difference. Which very much made me and my wife have a relaxing and beautiful break. We will be back in February.
