Find the Cheap La Oliva Hotels

This was my 3rd stay at the Riu Olivia Beach. Visited 18th September for a week. The hotel's location is the main reason I returned again. The weather was very hot. The actual hotel remains dated and is waiting for renovations to be approved although it does appear minor repairs are ongoing. My room (645) in the main building was a suite with separate bedroom and lounge and was clean. Towels replaced daily. No tea making facilities. Shower in bath. The rest of the hotel is clean. Food repetitive but always found something to eat. Self service Amstel lager, soft drinks etc. Staff friendly. Small shop onsite. Evening entertainment was ok. Bit of sun lounger reserving going on - the beach is an alternative venue with a few bars on it and loungers (paid for). I strolled along the beach to Corralejo a couple of times and less than an hour walk. Taxi back was 8 Euros. Outside the hotel on the main road is a bus stop and HiperDino supermarket. Taxi rank outside hotel. The lifts in the main building are worth a separate mention - 3 lifts and 1 didn't work. The other 2 were very slow, then when it did arrive usually already full of people, the doors sometimes start to close after a couple of seconds while you're still getting in and sometimes it didn't stop flush to the floor and you had to step up and out of the lift. They need servicing or something. This hotel is ideal if you want to be somewhere fairly quiet and in a fantastic location with sunny weather and you're not too fussed if everything isn't perfect. I hope to return for a 4th visit soon. Thank you all at the Riu Oliva Beach.

Reception were very accommodating to our requests prior to arrival. On arrival Cat checked us all In but also let us go Eat as we had just arrived and lunch was nearly finished. Food options- weren’t bad - I’m A fussy eater so I did eat more or less the same Thing every day…. But for those willing to try something there is always a great selection of Food. Pool Bar - tea, coffee, cold drinks all Available all day…. Food at pool Bar -pizza and hot dogs you pay for separately but there is sandwiches(you just need to ask As they are in the fridge) crisps, nuts and ice cream available all day. Crater Park on site was good fun for all Ages, no Issues getting sun-beds etc maybe not always ones with parasols but still No issues - Our villa felt like it as furthest away from the reception which wasn’t ideal with young kids and Mil with walking difficulties but it wasn’t the end of the world (10/15 min walk) ideally some Daisy bikes For hire for the week would Have been great! Or electric buggies of some sort- although again rec gave us a lift down with our bags and picked us up on the way back with them So again super helpful. When we did have issues we called rec and it was fixed straight away…. All The team were super friendly from bar staff, housekeeping, maintenance, gardeners etc etc (apart from one lady in restaurant who was snappy with us when we moved a table so all 9of us could Sit together - she said we weren’t allowed to do that even though we had done the last 6 days) just her attitude was a bit off there are nicer ways to be with guests. But a special shout out to Cat who was superb at her job - she remembered us(hopefully not for bad reasons haha) when we decided to get a private transfer for the way back to airport she sorted that out for us with no issues- feel like she went above and beyond for us and was always smiling. A credit to your team! Thank you again Cat for going that extra mile.

In the bathroom there is no warm water, cold in the washing machine and under the shower A weak water stream under the shower and in the washing machine. No blanket only some artificial plastic cap . Pillows on which you can't sleep.No air conditioning in the room. The privilege was drinking water in the bottle. Late breakfast because from godz.8.00 as for the apartment at the airport should be earlier . The facility itself has potential but the owners have to try. Jolanta

Check in muy fácil y rápido, el señor que me dio las llaves muy amable, la habitación muy limpia (¡olía riquísima!) y con mini refrigerador y ventilador - ATENTOS que no hay aire acondicionado. La cama era muy cómoda también. El hotel está cerca de todas las atracciones principales de la capital majorera. ¡Espero volver pronto! Check in very quick and easy, the gentleman that gave me the room key was very friendly, the room was clean and smelled amazing (with mini fridge and a fan inside - BE AWARE that the hotel doesn’t have air conditioning) and the bed was very comfy. The hotel is close to all of the main attractions the capital of the island has to offer. I hope to return soon!

We stayed with a friend in a private room in a rooftop room. It was very nice, clean, and we had our own terrace! It was mostly quiet. If someone cannot stand noise than dont book this room as 2-3 times a day loud music was coming from the resort nearby (only short time, it was part of thr daily animation for the guests). We were surprised at the beginning but then it became part of our life :) The staff in the hostel is very friendly and easy going, the room was good sized, comfy beds, will be missed!

We arrived late afternoon on Tuesday the 22nd oct. The welcome by reception staff was warm and friendly check in was quick and smooth. Our room (2288) was clean and very spacious the view from the balcony was just of other rooms and the back view was of out buildings and the tennis court and although we do prefer a scenic view we are rarely in the room so it’s not essential to us. There are no sea view rooms as far as I know so a pool view room would be too noisy for us anyway. The room had air con and worked well. The pool area is a bit cramped and you get the usual people putting towels on beds which is annoying but we just expect this now when travelling anywhere in Europe. The biggest downside to the pool is it’s freezing my 5 year old could only manage 10 min stints, we came to Fuertoventura in April but in the south of the island the pool was heated and made a huge difference and we will definitely book a hotel next time with this in mind. The pool could definitely do with a bit of a makeover the liner is all crinkled so doesn’t feel great on foot. The majority of the sun beds are old and worn so pretty uncomfortable. We did end up at the beach more than at the pool. Location is really good 5 min walk to the shops bars and restaurants. The transfer only took 30 min. When we went to the southern part in April the transfer was 2 hours and there wasn’t a great deal going on outside of the hotel so we definitely will come back to corelejo We was all inclusive and the food and drink was ok. We do always book all inc purely for convenience with our daughter during the day. Breakfast was probably the best with a decent selection. Lunch was also ok but we tend to really only have salad or something light so never an issue if there isn’t a a great deal of choice. The evening meal was not to our liking for us the choice was minimal. We personally would just prefer local cuisine but totally understand that the hotel has to cater to the masses. we just ended up eating out most nights which again for us all inclusive is a base and prefer to eat out anyway. The kids mini disco was great for our little girl the animation team are lovely and friendly. The guy behind the bar was always upbeat and made us feel welcome especially taking time to interact with our daughter. I’d read on some of the reviews that staff could be rude I can personally say not one member of staff was rude or dismissive. We had a very positive experience with all the staff I guess if you are respectful to them they are to you? Unfortunately the only rudeness we came across was from British people! Manners go a long way! I’m English myself and it baffles me how some people live up to the “brits abroad” name. All in all we really enjoyed our trip I would say the hotel is more 3 star plus than 4 star. I’m not sure if we would return purely because of the pool being so cold if the hotel invested in making the pool heated we would come back, This is relative to us and our ne
