Barceló Corralejo Sands

Just returned from 7 days half board, Barcelo Sands has its ups and downs. Firstly, the weather........................WOW!!!!! high 20s and low 30s on 2 days, cant complain about that!! This hotels USP is its staff and its cleanliness................faultless. Like other recent reviews, the food in the evening can get a bit repetitive, although you will find something that suits, we ate out twice just to break up the routine. The theatre bar has entertainment each night, a step up from your average pub singer but good enough to while away an hour with a drink. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is dire, this is due to the lack of interest from other guests, on most nights its less than 20 and on 1 night there were 6 of us in, the other 4 were Germans who sat in a corner chatting so the only encouragement the guy got was from the 2 of us!! Our biggest gripe though..............................SMOKERS AND VAPERS!!!!! No segregation around the pool and its you who has to move if you are unlucky enough to be next to one.......or more!!!! Both exits from the main hotel building seem to be the area they congregate for a quick drag so you have to run the gauntlet when leaving or entering the building. There is no segregation of rooms either. We had a ground floor terrace room and unfortunately for us, one of the rooms on one side of us and 3 of the rooms on the other were occupied by smokers so at some point in the day you were exposed. I know this can happen wherever you go (except on a cruise ship) hotels really should make more of an effort to have smoking and non smoking blocks. Given this experience we shan't be returning to this hotel again.

Visited here Sep for 2 weeks, it was our 4th visit and it did not dissapoint. Unfortunatley i was poorly while i was there and had to go to hospital. I have to say the concern, kindness and support shown by the staff and management was second to none. All staff work endlesly and hard to make your stay a special one. We met some really lovely people, Special hello to Luca and staff in the pool bar you all work very hard. We look forward to seeing you next year.

Had a Great Weeks stay at this hotel. Great location, 10 minutes to the beach and 15 minutes to the old town/ harbour, also supermarket and fashion shops close by. We were allocated a 1st floor bedroom with balcony and pool view. It was super, large and comfortable and very clean, also had good air conditioning and tea making facilities. The pool area was very clean and well appointed, there was a small queue for sunbeds at 9am. The restaurant was good and also had the benefit of being partially outside and men didn't have to wear trousers which was a benefit for me. Breakfast was good with a wide choice, dinner was the same. The waiting staff were particularly helpful and friendly as Indeed were other staff members. Overall we had a great week, only niggle was poor WiFi
