From the moment we arrived and checked in we were treated by all the staff as a valued guest (what a difference to our last holiday experience at the Pajara Beach hotel at Costa Calma). Our luggage was taken to our room, which was spotless and very comfortable. We had requested a 3rd floor room overlooking the pool, which we were given. The hotel is in a good position, just on the edge of town and close to a lovely sandy beach. Very quiet at night so no sleep problems.

There is some entertainment put on in the evenings, normally a singer or musician playing the lounge/reception area and some other act in a separate theatre. At the time we were there I dont think the hotel was very full so there wasn't a big audience for the entertainment.

The pool area was well kept and had plenty of sunbeds. One of the pools was slightly heated, the bigger pool was very cold. The animation team came round several times during the day to try and get people to join in the activities ( french boule, rifle shooting, diving lesson etc). They were really friendly and would often stop for a chat.

If I had to gripe about something it would be the food in the buffet restaurant. Although good, the hot food was never hot, only just warm. Even when dishes were being replenished they were still not hot. Apart from this I would definately recommend this hotel.

I can see that the hotel would have been excellent when built and under its previous owners, but there seems to be just too much penny-pinching cost-costing going on. Credit to the management for giving us a free bottle of sparkling wine (we were celebrating a wedding anniversary) and my admiration goes to the multi-lingual reception staff.

A few examples: orange juice at breakfast is not fresh (on a Spanish island!); coffee at breakfast is free, but they charge you in the evening; wifi is 6 Euro a day - but free at Waikiki beach club 100 metres away. Also the carpets are urgently in need of a deep clean, and the furniture is looking a little tired and chipped. I feel for the staff - they are doing a great job, but the new management seem intent on getting a return on their investment as soon as possible. I just hope they don't kill it, since it could still be a great hotel with a little less value engineering and a little more customer focus. If this really is the best that Corralejo has to offer then I'm sorry to say I won't be returning.

Barcelo Hotel. We stayed there from 25th Jan till 1st Feb 1 week.
Both my husband and i found the hotel clean with a very high standard.
staff were very friendly and daily entertainment staff were always on hand with a friendly smile and chat .
i even won the Bingo!! a nice bottle of champagne.

This hotel is ideal for (young at heart) couples who want a nice restfull break from stressfull work, and want a quiet holiday relaxing by a nice pool ,going for a beer, or walk.
The sand dunes are worth the trip, free bus twice daily from hotel .
If you want to eat out or more exciting entertainment then the town is less than 5 mins away .. Waikiki bar along the beach 400yrds from hotel do delicious steaks at reasonable prices

We had good restfull night sleeps, the best we've had in a holiday hotel for a long time.

We recommend the catamaran trip with jet sking, great day out

Despite the recent media news about trip Advisor having fake reviews, this is genuine .
and we recommend this hotel 100%.
We WILL return

We spent a week in the Corralejo Bay Hotel, this was one of those hotels we used to wander in when we were abroad and wished we were staying there, this has now happened. The staff were very friendly and always catered for our needs. The entertainment co-ordinator was excellent as was the entertainment, especially Michelle. During the day Davide was friendly and charming and we wish him well in the future. We will definitely return later in the year.
