With a lick of paint, a hammer, a screwdriver, some plaster, electrical cable & a new couch or thirty this place would be okay…honestly!!!

The resort has two apartment complexes Los Alisios and Dunas Caleta. Now although both are under the same management or owed by the same company and both stand side by side on the same street, they couldn’t be more opposite if they tried. Dunas has all the bells and whistles, lovely spacious air conditioned well maintained apartments and grounds etc. Its’ sister apartments Los Alisios is the complete opposite, poorly maintained, apartments grounds and facilities……..to give you an idea. Each evening while returning home the family & I regularly enjoyed a game of cockroach stomping….we ended up calling it cockroach ally!! Ok so you get cockroaches on holiday but I was kinda hoping that they’d all be outside the apartment…..fraid not!!!….the first night there I killed 29 cockroaches in our bathroom ( o I’m evil aren’t I??) Ok so after the first day the numbers did decline a little, maybe averaging 10 a night or so after that.

The food on the complex was……..well…….we ate out a lot, nuff said? The positives? The entertainments guy ( Scottish fella from Kinghorn in Fife…forgot his name, either Tom or Gary) was top class and the acts they had on at night were pretty darn good, apart from the karaoke guy, who looked like he was warming the crowd up for a funeral!!

The Los Alisios complex could be so much more if they spent a little money on it, it sits in a pretty darn good location, however, right at the minute that is all it has going for it!!

We have travelled to Corralejo many times, this was our 4th visit but this was by far the worst apartments we have ever stayed in.

The 1st apartment we were given was No 3. . This smelled of sewage, dampness masked by strong bleach.

It had sockets falling off the walls. We immediately asked for another apartment and were gievn No 1. It did not smell at least but every night my husband had to do a cockroach check, there were loads of small ones appearing in the bathroom every night , on the walls, shower curtain, towels etc. Not particularly pleasant.

Now the beds - well if you like lumps, mattresses covered by plastic and only have your sheets changed once a week then this is the place for you.

Food - we went half board and ate there twice ! - that says it all

There is very much a divide in this complex, between Los Alisios and Dunas Caleta which is supposed to be the one complex now. However, even the staff admitted that the Los Alisios is the poor cousin, ie no air conditioning, smaller apartments and very much in need of a makeover.

I will definitely not be going back to this place ever again. The only positive thing I can say is Gary the entertainments manager does a grand job.

Sorry folks but its better to warn you - unless of course you stay in the Dunas Caleta section!

Great place to stay, the staff are all really freindly and will go out of their way to help you.

The apartments were fairly spacious and had everything you could want, very impressed with the bathroom, shower was amazing!

There is a sister hotel where you can use all the facilities including the pool and snack bar.

The location was great too, it was near restaurants and shops and a short stroll to a selection of bars and nightlife. No noise could be heard in the complex.

Was thrilled when i read the reviews on this place before I went on holiday as it got a great review. One or two complaints about cockroaches but overall great reviews. My first impression was yes, nice place. Checked in with friendly receptionist and off to my room. From there on in it went down hill. Apartment old and dull but ok how much time would I be spending in it. Decided to go for a walk with my husband and within 1 minute of leaving my apartment I saw my first cockroach. A huge one. We had a meal at pool bar and as I was eating I saw my second one. On way back to apartment I saw about 5 more. In the morning these cockroaches were dead and about a million ants eating at them. I got the horrors it was so awful. Thanks to my rep with first choice/falcon holiidays. She got us transfered to the lobos bahia hotel/apartments which were fab and no cockroaches. So if you hate huge cockroaches do not stay at los alisios.
