First of all, the Arena Suite offers extremely good value for money. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable with a large balcony/terrace, large and comfortable beds, decently sized flat-screen TVs and modern furnishings/bathrooms. The entirety of the hotel is immaculately clean - the domestic staff are a credit to the hotel. Indeed I haven't come across a member of staff who hasn't been warm, approachable and eager to assist in any way they can. Reception staff were particularly attentive and were more than happy to offer advice on what to see and do. Having browsed some of the more recent negative reviews, I'm confident the problem there was the guests' wildly unattainable expectations rather than any failure on the part of the hotel. I noted one such review which expressed displeasure that the hotel didn't have a sufficiently 'party' vibe. Perhaps those guests would have been more content in another location such as Magaluf or nearby Tenerife, as we had chosen Corralejo entirely as a result of it's quiet, tranquil feel. However, the town centre and music square are a mere €5 taxi ride away from the hotel if guests are looking for more of a party than can be provided at the hotel bar, which offers nightly and varied entertainment. The all-inclusive buffet was exactly what one would expect. More than sufficient variety is offered daily in terms of food, with a different international theme each night. We preferred some nights to others but this was entirely the result of our own subjective preferences and certainly not a fault of the hotel. All-inclusive beverages are available throughout the day and night. Beer, wines and soft drinks are self-service both at the restaurant and the pool bar throughout the day, before switching to the bar at night. Staff are always on hand to prepare cocktails etc. I was deeply perplexed by those complaining about having to pay a €1 REFUNDABLE deposit for plastic glasses to be used at the pool bar. I'm not sure some seem to have understood the concept. I even read one review suggesting that this was a ploy to rob guests of money and save staff from having to work hard. Bizarre. I think the concept is positive not only for the environment but it certainly deterred guests from leaving cups around the pool area as I have seen at other such establishments. The two adult pools are a decent size and a welcome reprieve from the heat. As is often the case, sunbeds are often claimed early in the morning but as a party of 7 who did not do so at all, we were consistently able to find 7 loungers together (there are always plenty spare and stacked up to be used). Corralejo town centre is around a 20-minute walk away, and the local shopping village, complete with a Sunday artesenal market and bursting with bars/restaurants and a supermarket, was approx. 5 mins away on foot. All in all, a fabulous location for a tranquil family holiday and deserving of its 4-star status. We would absolutely return.
