Posh frock and no draws
Alua Suites, Corralejo, Fuerteventura. There are many positives about the Alua Suites, but a few negative. The staff were very professional although somewhat scarce at times. Check-in was very good but a little disappointed when seeing the view from the balcony. Although we had booked a view of the garden or pool, we received a view of the kitchen extraction system. When you're working in the extraction field, you don't want a busmans holiday. My wife spends a lot of time on a balcony when we're away, so this wasn't great. We went back to reception and as we'd arrived late in the evening, the only person available was the night receptionist. He advised us he would tell the morning staff and suggested we return at 10am. When we returned to reception at 10am, the receptionist advised she'd received a full report from the night person and asked for us to return at 12:30, when she would be able to show us a couple of alternative rooms. This we did and were provided with an excellent room overlooking a pool. We were extremely pleased with the service provided. The location of the Suites is very good. Close to town to walk in, but far enough away to avoid any potential rowdiness. I would score the food at the hotel as 3 out of 5. On occasions it wasn't hot. Queuing was also an issue. We seemed to be queuing for items not wanted, to enable you to get to the better options. You also chose your vegetables before you got to know what your main course was going to be. I suggest they queue from the other side of the dining room so you can choose your main course first. The rooms were very clean, but the beds were dated and very hard. Not just us saying this, but other guests also. The maids were very friendly and good at their jobs. For a fully inclusive stay, we would have expected water to be provided in the room. Having to buy from the local supermarket, or filling bottles in one of the restaurants is not great. It's the little things that make the difference. Quite rightly, around the pool, plastic cups are provided for drinks. However I expect to have a glass when dining, not a plastic cup. They do however need to add or replace a lot more umbrellas. Those installed are very dated and don't work efficiently. Have to hold them up with strategically placed ice cream spoons. The entertainment provide was ok. It was a relaxing stay, and I would be happy to recommend Alua Suites.
