I visited the hotel in March (06) with my partner, it appeared clean and so did the apartment however bacteria isn't visable. We were both very ill throughout our stay and suffered with gastroenteritis. We spent most of our time in our room ill with diahorrea and vomitting. I'm just so glad we didn't invite any elderly relatives or young children.

This really was the holiday from hell.

We was looking for a chill holiday, you know the kind, where you can do whatever you want for a whole week, and we had a great time.

The location of the hotel is the best place you could go in Corralejo. Its about 3minutes walk to everything, the beach, the main street is just around the corner, the waterpark is just along the main street, the bowling lanes are next to the waterpark and I could go on and on...

The beach: the beach closest to the hotel is Waikiki Beach, small and not 'that' busy. But you can follow it right round to the sand dunes (if you can be bothered to walk for more than half an hour) ...

the hotel: the hotel really was a nice place to stay. The food wasn't the best (abit burnt at times.) The entertainment was great, really gets the guests laughing. The daytime activities wasn't the best, they entertainment team only seemed to play football tennis, not the best thing for the girls. The rooms were very nice, just remember to take alot of 50cent coins to play the TV. 50cent last for half an hour. The staff at the reception were very helpful, talked very fluent english. The bad point of the holiday was the pool. It was freezing, and when its hot, you really want a pool to just go for a little paddle in.

The Food Around: there were 'alot' of nice resteraunts around the area, Don Camillos (on the corner of the main street) nice for an English Breakfast. There was a couple of resteraunts around the square that had the slowest worst service (sorry to say).

Definately recommend this resort and this hotel. A great holiday to start the new year :)

We have just returned from a two week holiday at this hotel. I am quite surprised about the good comments this hotel received. Personally, I would say it was in need of a bit of a 'clean up'. Firstly, all the staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful. The food was good. We only had snacks, but my son loved the chicken nuggets and chips!!! We didn't really stay in the hotel on an evening as there were so many restaurants and an ideal kiddies park with a bouncy castle and trampolines. The complaint I had with this hotel was the ants!!! Loads of them on the kitchen units (even though they were cleaned daily), dead ants on the floor, dead ants on the kettle - need I say more!!! My other complaint was the pull out bed. I am not a big person but everytime I sat on it, I fell through it! So I have come home with a few bruises.

If you want to stay in a cheap hotel and like ants then this is the one, but I would certainly say there are better hotels around.

We booked room only because we like to go out in the evening to eat in different restaurants.

The cleaner called at least every other day and was friendly and polite. The apartment was always cleaned to a high standard. The sofa pull out bed broke but after we complained at reception within ten minutes was repaired. The location was fantastic close enough for the young children to be able to walk out to the restaurants, also close enough to the beach however the children were always begging to stay by the pool.

All staff were helpful. Gary and Nicky are brilliant with the kids, loved the kiddy disco. The kids club fantastic. The pool is like ice but is nice once you are in. Didnt seem to bother the children.

This was our first holiday abroad with the children and one we will always remember. We are currently looking through brochures for the next one and it is very tempting to return here.

A great family holiday.

This was our first time to Fuerteventura and what a great choice we made to stay here.

The apartments are quite big with a balcony both front and back all overlooking the pool and garden area. Plenty of room for our clothes and things, they supply a fan but we hired a second one as it was so hot at night.

The pool was great, its nice and big and there were plenty of sunbeds, kids loved it.

Staff were great kids loved the disco with Gary and Nicky and the thompson kids reps(Kev and Nicola) entertainment at night was ok quizes every night every other night there was a show.

Dunas Caleta is very close to the Waikiki beach which is safe for kids and was never too crowded.Also just round the corner from the waterpark.

We would definitely go back again, and have heard that they have just applied for this hotel to be a Thomson superfamily, this was a great family holiday cant wait for the next.

After visiting this complex in September 2001, an having great time decided to return upon having new addition. This complex is fantastic same staff working there from before I think they built the place around Gary mind you he really does make the place great.

The island itself is great for children because of the cool breaze does make the heat more bearable. The complex staff are very friendly and all english speaking. The rooms are quite big and very clean. Maid service most days clean sheets and towels daily.

The only recommendation I would make is that on the rooms facing the road they had a break in but this happened was the family did leave the patio door open which was on view from the road. But the staff were quick to act. On the two times we have been the kids club has been good an they did do activertys for them in the shade on a day which was really hot.

I would recommend you try Garys barbcue if your a meat lover there was loads and equally for the children. On both holidays weve meet some lovely people and are still in touch with them now. The gardens are well kept, an pool really clean.

I would really recommend this holiday for families the kids will love it!

The Dunas Caleta was fantastic. It is a very nice looking hotel with a lovely pool and childrens pool. There were plenty of sunbeds and you could put your towel on them from 9am.

The rooms are spacious and clean. We had cleaner service 5 days a week and you could not fault it. There was a small issue with cockroaches but there was nothing they could do about them as it was their mating season.

We noticed alot outside at night and found a couple in our room but as the days went by there seemed to be less.

The receptionists were also faultless they were very helpful and they sorted any problems we had straight away.

Our fan was broken and the fridge door would not close and within a couple of hours we had a new fan and the fridge was fixed.

The hotel staff were great. Gary was always making sure everyone was happy and would always find you a seat for the shows.

We did our own thing most of the time so did not really take part in many activities. We watched two professional shows and they were very impressive. We enjoyed a couple of quizzes too and won a bottle of champagne.

We did not eat in the restaurant but we stayed for their weekly barbeque and enjoyed it.It was 12 euros (

We stayed in these apartments in Aug 2005. We ate in the restaurant one night then decided to upgrade to a half board basis for 99 euros each 49 euros kids. What a mistake the food was almost the same every night and we kind of felt this was re heated from the night before as well. We complained about some chicken kebabs that were not cooked and they just said fine we will put them back in the oven for a minute.

One of the staff that was in the buffet service was extremely rude he didn

The room was very good. It was kept very clean by the maid service; she seemed to visit us almost every day even though the broacher said 4 times a week.

The Dunas Caleta resort is great if you really do want to relax, sit by the pool, have a drink and occasionally go in for a swim.

Although we only ate in the restaurant a couple of times it was very good.

The resort is located close to the Corralejo town center. 5/10 minutes walk. You are about 10/15 minutes from the main beach in Corralejo.

The resort staff are great; they try hard at all the things they have to do. The entertainment was also very good. Gary the resident entertainer tried extremely hard to keep everyone happy.

I would love to visit this resort again.

We stayed at the Dunas last year and found the resort to be exceptionally clean, but a word of warning - don't come out of your room until after 8.30, otherwise there is a distinct smell,which can make you heave at times. We were on the 1st floor and the terraces were fine - nice for sitting late at night.

Entertainment was reasonable. The only real pain was the entertainer. We were subjected to his really annoying voice every night, plus a whole host of childrens songs, the main one being 'The Court of King Caracatus' which my daughter loved but after 14 nights of this, along with 'Star Trekking', it was a bit much to say the least. If you like pub quizzes, karaoke, magic shows and lizzards, enjoy!!

Food was plain and simple but nice and well priced. Brekkies were nice but avoid the beans! Chefs got the orders wrong a couple of times and two couples were overcharged by a large amount of money, so check your change!

Very clean hotel - maids came every other day and made beds, and even tidied up all my make-up nice and neat. all linen and towels changed. No washing up liquid supplied though!

My sister's window was broken when we arrived and despite reporting it 3 times, nothing was done and we gave up. Propped closed at night by a broom!

Pool was cleaned every day and terraces were spotless. only one day when some tiles came loose in the pool and 4 children cut their feet (my daughter included). Plenty of sun loungers too.

From our room, we had a fab view of one of the massive volcanoes - awesome.

No security on doors as such, just a basic key to open - we saw police on the sight twice - break-ins.
