“Dissapointed with this hotel”

Hotel Arena

16 Mar 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

My wife and I have just returned from a 1 week holiday at the Hotel Arena,Corallejo,Fuerteventura. Having experienced 3 star hotels in the past, we were looking for at least 4 star and after reviewing comments on Trip Advisor, decided to book for 1 week half board via teletext holidays, This hotel was rated as 4 star and the cost of £ 336.00 per person seemed reasonable.
On the positive side, it was a peaceful hotel with reasonable facilities for lounging beside the pools and the hotel and rooms were cleaned every day.
However our hotel room did have a damp aroma about the place and we had a leaking pipe under the bathroon sink. We did not complain and left a towel beneath to catch the water.
In our opinion, the only thing 4 star about this hotel was the price of the drink. For example EU 2.50 for a small beer and EU 4.80 for a Bailleys or equivalent.
At breakfast, there was a choice of fruit juices from a dispenser with a variety of cereals and fruit. If you liked continental, then there were a choice of cold meats, cheeses and bread rolls. If you wanted to toast bread, then you had to put the slices through the machine at least 3 times. However if you liked a cooked breakfast, it was very disappointing. The food was greasy and luke warm.
For dinner it was a similar story, with a poor quality of hot meals and we ended up eating out, 4 times from 7 nights.
The entertainment was basic, but for the time of year this was understandable.
During the holiday, we decided to pop in to another hotel, which was 4 star, and it was night and day.
Despite our experience, the holiday was very good and we will return to Fuerteventura again, but definately not to the Hotel Arena, as in our opinion this facility does not live up to it's 4 star rating.

“Hotel ok - Food awfull”

Sitting in the hotel lobby typing this as I await a cab to take us into town for some diner. Just can´t bring ourselves to eat in the restaurant as its is very poor, which is a great shame as like the comments from other reviewers the general standard of the hotel is ok but not four star.

Rooms are spacious and clean, pool area is small but again clean and well kept. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The whole experience is unfortunately let down by the food which is very poor and is a major turn off more the majority of people who are staying here this week.

Whilst appreciating that everyones tastes are different, its the basics which let the hotel dowm. Juice and coffee from machines, no bread for toast and food which is plentifull but certainly not four star.

Hope the management read these types of feedback as its unfortunate that the food lets down a very pleasant small hotel that is good value, but not if you need to walk into town for both your breakfast and evening meal. After all even if budget, you have paid for it.

My partner and I stayed 7 nights in February at the Arena Hotel on a bed & breakfast basis, our first visit to the Canaries. We were happy with the hotel. Our room and bathroom were spacious, well equipped and immaculately clean, although the decor was dated. There was ample choice of the usual fare at breakfast, with a "chef" preparing fresh omelettes, fried eggs, pancakes & bacon to supplement the ready cooked food in the warmers. All staff were frendly & helpful.
It is a 15 - 20 minute walk to the town centre, but in fine weather this can be along the beach, so very pleasant.
Our criticisms would be that the shower and toiletries were adequate but not of 4 star quality. The TV reception was disappointing, the only English language channels being CNN & Sky News. The pool area & sunbeds, adequate in low season, would be very crowded in a busier period.
Corralejo feels very safe and pedestrian and family-friendly. Wide choice of places to eat - we particularly liked the Patio restaurant in the town centre.

“Great hotel for reasonable price”

Hotel Arena

10 Feb 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

My husband and myself spent a week at hte Arena hotel and were very satisfied with the quality of the room and the very friendly staff. The equipment is lovevly with a heated swimming pool and quiet garden to take a rest or a meal by the pool bar at lunch. The room is large and clean with a lovely view. Be careful though, as we have noticed that some rooms have no view at all.

The restaurant is reasonable. Not much choice but fresh salad and fruit every day with a selection of fish or meat.

We certainly will return to this hotel if we go back to Fuerteventura next year.
