Oasis Village, Fuerteventura

Advantages: Things to do
Disadvantages: Could get busy, Pool area could be warmer

...When we booked our trip to Oasis I wasn’t convinced. The girlfriend wanted a weekend away. Great I thought - Amsterdam here we come, work had been tough and I felt I needed a bit of break. Ah but hang on a minute we want a weekend in this country and also on the cheap! There was something about the place that scared me – I had a horrible feeling she would have me traipsing around on Mountain Bikes 24 hours a day and hunting Squirrel’s to BBQ for tea. For some reason I also had that cheap advert for a soft drink going around in my head– ‘Oasis – open, pour, be yourself once more’. I guess I better explain what the Oasis Lakeland Forest Village (to give its correct name) is at this point as far as I understand it.

Advantages: Resort, price, beach, activities, food, everything
Disadvantages: Can get to hot ?

...For anyone who enjoys their holidays they wouldn’t be making a mistake to go to Fuerteventura, and I feel the best place on Fuerteventura is Corralejo. I have been 3 times and have enjoyed each time immensely; the temperature is great and very warm as you are only a few miles west from the Sahara desert and morocco.

Advantages: Beautiful setting, peaceful and fun
Disadvantages: Showing signs of age, confusing booking processes

...once or twice a year, these can be a little repetitive. Again on the downside, the accommodation is starting to become dilapidated, with furniture in need of replacement, taps dripping and inventory missing. You must vacate your accommodation by 10am on departure day but you can stay in the village as long as you like. Overall, this is a wonderful holiday destination with a stupid amount of things to do, tremendous levels of peace and tranquillity and a naturists delight. The weather really does not matter and, if you take the trouble to plan ahead, booking activities in advance, your time spent at Oasis will be fun, relaxing and great value for money. There are far too many facilities to list and the centre is peaceful enough for those who wish to take it easy but has activities too numerous to mention for those who wish to use... Read review
