Hi,

Next to the waterpark - on the main road from the town.

We had a fantastic time there last June.

Hiya,
Just booked again for the Oasis Pap for July. We went in February for 2 weeks and it was fantastic, the entertainment and kids reps were great. Has anyone been since February? Just wondering if it's the same entertainers and kids club reps? Roly and Lucy for the hotel entertainment?
Cheers.

Got back on 7th June after 2 weeks. The entertainers this year are Da Big Man, Leanne and a scots lass (can't remember her name) They were excellent - although cannot compare them to last years as it was my first visit.

The complex is brilliant. Worth hiring a car, if only to visit the lagoons at El Cotillo - 20 mins away.

I have already posted this in the advice forum but have posted it here incase anyone going or have been to the Papagayo with Thomsons can help us out, sorry if you have read this or have broke forum rules but we really need advice on this.

Thanks.
We booked a holiday in febuary with Thompsons to go to Fuerteventura, we booked the Oasis Papagayo in Correleo for the 19th july 2006 for 2 weeks flying from glasgow and staying self catering. On the Thomsons web site it said kids were aged up to 16, for the holiday above, went to our local thomsons and booked the holiday, My wife, myself and two kids aged 13 and 7, we were booked into a one bedroom apartment with pull down/setee bed in the living room and two single beds in the bedroom, we have stayed in apartments like this many times, told everything was OK and paid over two grand then and there. a few weeks later we recieved confirmation of the holiday, hotel,flight times etc but it said these apartments were for one child over 12 or two children under 12 only.

Went back to the Thomsons shop and showed them the letter, they said it should be ok but would double check with the hotel themselves, a few days later they phoned us back and said it was OK nothing to worry about and have a nice holiday.

Guess What....they phoned me today at 5:00pm and told us we now cant go on that holiday, they said that Thomsons have had SO many complaints about the size of the rooms that they wont let familys of four stay there anymore(in that type of apartment).

They said we can have a refund or could move us to alternative accomodation, the alternative accomodation not even being in the same resort, we booked the resort of Correlo for the kids and the kids activitys in the hotel, the waterpark etc. They know want to move us to the other side of the island.

The thing is I have now booked my holidays off work and cant change them, so if I cant get exact dates we cant go anywhere, we have also booked car parking at the airport and kennels for the dogs, if we cancel these we lose our deposits.

Checked out the alternative accomadation and it is no where near as good as where we were supposed to go with nearly nothing for the kids, explained this to Thomsons today but all they said was sorry, like it or lump it thats all we can do.

What are our options and what can we do as we only have a month to do something.

I see Sarah has replied to you in the complaints section

Hello, we (2a 1c) are staying at Oasis Papagayo 11-25 Oct 06 and reading the reviews most seem to be stating that check-in is very slow. What worries me is that we arrive 8.30 pm or later, and if check-in is slow, will there be a restaurant or somewhere open that we can eat? Is there a shop open that late that sells water,milk,bread etc for the morning? If anyone can advise it will stop me stressing out!

Does anyone know if pool inflatables are left in a particular spot when people go home?..save us buying them.

Also anyone else going that time, especially if you have a 5/6/7 year old girl, please make yourselves known....if I can get my daughter a friend on arrival it would save days of shyness.

Thanks for any replies.

hello all ,

we will be arriving from manchester on the 26th sept for 10 nights , anybody else staying here !!!!!!!

cant wait , dead excited

Hi,
There is a restaurant on site called Don Corleones that will be open until about 11pm. If you don't fancy that, just get recettion to call you a cab into town and you will find loads still open until midnight.

sorry to bring this but if you are flying out on the busiest airport day on the island we found that some of the bars and restaurnts if not most of them tend to close on the busiest day. we had to eat within the hotel complex. abit annoying considering it was expensive and a small variety.

great place to stay! go choice
went in december!

Hi all,

We are off to the Oasis Papagayo in 2 weeks time

And i have a couple of questions, that hopefully someone here may be able to help me with. Firstly i know that at some Thomson superfamily propertys have a towel service, where you can leave a deposite and use there pool towels, i have checked on thomsons website but there is no mension of this service , so if anyone can cast some light on this id be greatfull.

Secondly the mini market within the complexe what time does it shut, we should be in the resort for around 8pm and will obviously need to get some water milk ect, but dont really fancy the walk into town on the first night.

Also we have booked a 2 bed upperfloor apartment, and would like a quite location overlooking the pool, so if anyone has a room number that they could recommend, that would be FAB !!

Many Thanks,

Shelley

Just thought of another Q do they allow inflatables in the pool ?

Thanks Again

Please log into Oasis Fuerteventura on your search engine, you will find all the info you need on the oasis group there. Oasis Papagayo is at the top of the resort, it is about 20 mins to the old town and harbour but there are plenty of bars along the way. It is also 2 mins from the waterpark and market.
The rooms are very nice and the complex is very popular

hello all members
looking to book the oasis papagayo
any members know anything about these apartments
the reviews sound good the nearest town is about 15-20 mins walk away ? so the reviews say are the bars in town family freindly do they have anything on for the kids incase you fancy a change from the hotel
is there anything else for kids in the resort outside of the hotels
reviews say there is a waterpark facing the apartments also a market at the waterpark on some days
there is a complex near the apartments that has a bristish pub & ice cream palour and bowling alleys are the children allowed in the pub
how do you think the sunbeds (getting one) a week before the main kids big holidays will be is there lots of sunbeds or is it a case of getting up at 6 0clock in the morning lol also are the one bedroom apartments big enogh for 3 adults and one child
