H10 Ocean Dunas - Adults Only

H10 Ocean Dunas, Corralejo, Fuerteventura. Firstly a few points about the hotel: • It is very clean and well decorated and thanks to ALL the brilliant staff (Front desk: Mano & Jonathan were great) • The a**osphere is calm, quiet, relaxed, mainly mature holidaymakers and like a little oasis in the town • Location is 25m from the main street (but almost no noise at all) and 100m from the beach Now some pointers about the rooms around the main area: • The hotel is only two storeys and shaped as a square, ( 80 rooms) with a lovely salt-water pool and ample sun beds – only one room has a sea view and can only be ordered by booking directly through the hotel! • Room balconies/terraces are big enough for two sunbeds, two chairs and a small table • There’s a €2 charge per day to hire the room safe, we’ve never had this in a 4* hotel before • On TV there’s only two “English” channels, Sky news & Sky Arts- I would have expected more for UK guests? • Rooms are beautifully clean with quality bed linens and various lighting arrangements, kettle & hairdryer • Rooms 101 – 110 (groundfloor) and 201- 210 (upper floor) get the sun during the morning mostly • Rooms 141 – 149 (groundfloor) and 246 -254 (upper floor) get the sun in the afternoon mostly • Rooms 231 – 236 are junior suites ( above the restaurant , almost no noise to speak of) get the sun all day and benefit from double showers! All rooms have AC. • There are also rooms at the rear of the hotel which overlook the “secret garden”( which is beautiful, quiet, with water feature and has shaded areas and plenty of seats/sunbeds) • The lower rooms here are 137-140, 123-127 and 120-122 • The upper rooms here are 241-245, 132-136 and 128-130 Food at the hotel: ( we can only comment on breakfast and evening meals) • If you enjoy cereal for breakfast the choice is poor, only basic cornflakes and a museli • There is always a variety of fruits, yoghurts, smoothies fruit juice and Cava! • Cooked foods are varied but at best luke-warm and the glass covers are removed when it’s busy - so cools down even faster! • There’s a good variety of breads and bread buns, assorted pastries and small cakes • TRAVELLERS TIP – you can request a fresh omelette & ask for a pot of hot water for tea( but they don’t tell you this) • You need to inform reception what time you’d like to eat in the evening. Be aware their system isn’t 100% reliable. • There is A La Carte service but we were misled by previous reviews. Food is good but NOT A La Carte quality • For the evening meal there’s always soup ( but some odd recipes, eg red cabbage & pear) • A good variety of appetisers and always a range of salad vegetables. • Main course you order daily and it’s cooked for you. We only had a problem one night , cold plates
