Corralejo is a lovely town in fuerteventura and is the best place to stay on the Island as there are more things to do and the best shops around. I travelled with my disabled father and 3 children and we all had an enjoyable holiday. The weather was perfect if not too hot at time. There is a lovely beach in town close to the shops and restaurants, and the sea is a lot calmer there than in other parts of corralejo, better for disabled and children as the sea can be quite rough at the other beaches. There are lots of bars and restaurants, with both spanish tapas and english menus. Lots of shops for designer bargains and souveneirs. I would definitelty return here with my family for another holiday.

Corralejo very nice quiet town, good Restaurants, our best, Beleten (Spanish) & Japur (Indian) Supermarets, use Hiperdino or Eurospar, Do not use Netto, the charge about 60% more, yes that expensive
Review by dave and fiona jobling from calpe, spain
We have just returned from our holiday 17th,and we have to say this is one of our best ever holidays, the villa was well equipped and exceptionally clean and tidy.
All the staff from Natalie the receptionist to the maids just could not do enough to help you, the pools, jacuzzis and grounds are also extremely well looked after. We really cant say enough good things about our stay here. There is also a good choice in food from the restaurant, and excellent service too.
Unfortunately the entertainment started the day we left.We would certainly recommend a holiday here, and im sure we will be retuning for another relaxing holiday very soon.

Review by anthony campopiano from falkirk
corralejo is a nice clean resort.baby nappies etc are on the expensive side however thats what youd expect on a island.Locals are friendly and helpful .Weather is hot however very windy its not called the windy island for nothing.Would recomend it to a family looking for a nice peaceful laid back beach holiday.
Review by patricia fagan from dublin
perfect for a quiet holiday would recomend if you have children to stay near to water park shops and resturants we stayed further out which suited us fine as we didnt have children
Review by member Byrne from Liverpool
An excellent family resort but seems to have been hit by the recession. We have been twice within 6 months and lots of bars have either closed or quietened down during our last visit.
I'd recommend Correlejo to anybody who likes a good balance between relaxation and entertainment. Some of the live music in the bars is of a very high standard.
The beaches are really lovely and you're guaranteed decent weather all the time!
Review by member peters from Margate
a nice town, without the hussle of a big town, yet some nice bars with artists in most nights, Restaurants very good, Beleten about the best for quality, price and service, Netto supermarkets very expensive, use others they are much cheaper, about 30 %.
Review by Karine Timmons from Glasgow
Water park was good but It would cost a small fortune for families visiting.
Review by christine Watson from worcester
Corralejo town is typical tourist town, full of bars, and disco's, with shops selling tourist artifacts and T shirts, there are some interesting restaurants near the harbour, but not a lot else, it is a great area for teenagers and sport enthusiasts, but around the town are some wonderful beaches.
Review by Trena O Mara from Shannon Co Clare Ireland
corralejo is a very friendly resort and ideal for children great for a family holiday and the beaches are as nice as the carribean
Review by Charlotte Forrest from Eccleston, Chorley
Corralejo is a really busy resort. Everything is really spread out so lots of walking is required. It is really busy and noisy, not at all tranquil. The sand dune beaches are however beautiful.
Review by marcus shurvinton from northampton
Corralejo is a small resort with a small local beach and harbour. There are dozens of restaurants to chose from, a good taxi service,and good supermarkets. The water park is huge. A great place for a holiday.
Review by visitor
Corralejo has some wonderful places and resturants that are original and unspoilt as long as you ask the locals and these are usually found on the back streets. The high street has a mixture of up market shops, cafes and resturants as well as trippy ones!. On the sand dunes the beaches are beautiful and well serviced. The sea is a wonderful bluey green and very clear with a wind ithat is warm and refreshing.The local people are very friendly and helpful people. Corralejo is a place not to be missed and not spoilt yet!
Review by Sandra Millwaters from Chesterfield
We love Corralejo and have been coming every year for the last five. There's something for everyone here without being over the top. We have favourite restaurants but are always willing to try new ones. My daughter and I love the shopping, especially Mango and a few others! All in all it's good value, stunning beaches and only four hours from the UK.
Sandra
Ps Lovely to see the resort train once again!
Review by Malc Churchill from Upper Norwood
Corralejo is a great place for a holiday. Got loads of shops, bars and restaurants but keeps a family and relaxed atmosphere. We loved it, especially the pretty old town area by the harbour.
Review by Andrew Tidball from Newport,Pembrokeshire,Wales
Although we stayed some 3 kms from Corralejo we visited there a few times during our 2 week stay.Plenty of bars,restaurants shops and wonderful beaches.The ferry leaves there nearly hourly for Lanzarote.
Would go there again!.
Review by Terence Ashton from Hampton
We have been to Corralejo many times and have always enjoyed it
Review by Andy Cochrane from Hull
the resort was relaxing and offered most of what i enjoy from a holiday
Review by visitor
Really liked Corralejo. its friendly, got good shopping, loads of restaurants for all different tastes and just a really nice place to spend a relaxing holiday. Especially like the Dunes outside town and the ferry to Lanzarote from the harbour in the Old Town
Review by emlyn bloor from wrexham
corralejo offers everything for the young to the old (like us on a pension)
Review by Karen Martin from East Kilbride
there are two excellent restaurants down at the harbour, one with seafood a speciality called Sotovento and the other newly opened by an English couple called Los Pepes. Both these restaurants are well worth a visit and good value for money.
Review by Brian Breathnach from Dublin
Corralejo is an excellent holiday destination for anyone looking to get away. Depending on weather you want to just relax and take it easy or push yourself a bit and try new things Corralejo has something for everyone. Nightlife can be a little quiet for some but there are some niteclubs but they don't dominate as in some other resort destinations.
Food and drink can be of the highest quality and resonably priced but as with most places it's a case of try and see.
The weather is perfect for pasty white northern europeans (Irish like me) with an almost constant cooling breeze coming in from the Atlantic, but this does not mean you won't get a tan or sunburn just that you won't feel like you have to shower every 10 minutes from the effects of a 'dead heat' as I've experrienced on previous holidays.
All in all I would highly recommend Carralejo for a relaxing family friendly holiday.

| | | Corralejo |  | Why go on holiday to Corralejo?
The former fishing village has evolved into Fuerteventura's liveliest resort, packed with restaurants, bars and outdoor attractions. Just outside the town are sand dunes that stretch for miles along the Canary Island's east coast.
How much will it cost?
Accommodation: a week's self-catering package in a purpose-built complex starts at around £320 in low season. Flights to Fuerteventura cost from about £130. Corralejo is a 45-minute transfer from the airport.
When should I go?
Fuerteventura is a year-round destination with negligible rainfall. Even in December, the island has an average of five hours' sunshine a day. Temperatures top 80F (26C) in summer and 70F (21C) in winter.
Who's it for?
Corralejo offers lively, affordable sun-and-sand breaks for all ages. Nightlife boils down to a few bars and clubs and a buzzing main square lined with restaurants. Young people should head for Centro Comercial Atlantico for bars with a party vibe.
Watersports fans will like the windsurfing, surfing, sailing and scuba-diving opportunities available around the resort.
What are the must-sees?
Browse the shops, bars and restaurants around the resort's main square, Plaza Grande de Corralejo. After that, pack a picnic and visit Parque Natural de Corralejo's 10km of dazzling white sand dunes.
Take a three-hour mini-cruise and spend two hours on the Isla de Lobos, where you can spot hammerhead sharks and birds before having lunch at a quayside kiosk.
For a diversion with a difference, sign up for a half-day's deep-sea fishing and have your catch cooked for lunch.
What will I spend?
Prices vary greatly but as a rough guide: 36-exposure film £2.50, moderate restaurant meal £7-£10, without wine, bottle of beer £1, bottle of wine £6, litre of petrol 40p, four-mile taxi ride £6.
