Hi All,
Just back from a great 2 weeks hol in caleta de fuste Fuerteventura. i had accepted alternative accomadation other that the Lobos Bahia in Corralejo. However i did make a trip to the Lobos to see it for myself and i was very shocked to see the partition and hear loud noises from another build to the front of the complex. I entered the complex and the reception area was still not completed and the tilers and painters were working hard.i went up to view the pool area and it did have the usual sun bathers etc, with music going to create a holiday atmosphere.I did meet friends from back home who were staying there and they said it was o.k. after you got over the initial shock on arrival. They said it was clean and pretty basic. Anyway i ended up having a great holiday in the end with my new accomadation being the San Jorge in Caleta De Fuste. :D :D :D
Regards to all of you still to go on Holiday.

Just got back from Lobas Bahia. Building work still ongoing but didn't affect our holiday - renovating reception area when we left. They play music at the pool side so you don't hear any building noise. The apartments were basic but clean, although kitchen area very small (even to make a cup of tea).

TVs were installed in the room during our stay although you have to pay 4 euros a day but the cartoon channels kept our 3 young kids quiet so well worth it.

We went to Kiddie disco at night (everynight!) as there wasn't much else to do with 3 kids under 6. Kids loved it but be careful of the mozzies - I got 70 bites on my legs just sitting at the tables outside the disco, which ruined then end of my holiday. Aparently they don't like citrus so some people actually put lime juice on their skin.

Not an awful lot to do at night with tiny kids. There are 2 fun places facing each other which my 3 loved right beside Lobas Bahia. Although we only used the one which was opened at night time as the one that remained open during the day was covered in so much dust that it ruined 3 new outfits.

Water park was open but we didn't go because a lot of poeple told us it was geared more for older children, with very little for tiny kids.

Had a lovely holiday all the same.

Hi

It was good to hear you enjoyed your holiday at lobos bahia. We are going there on 17th August and was relieved to hear your comments. Two questions, Is there much entertainment at the hotel for children, mine are aged 9 & 11 and did the hotel allocate you a room away from the building work? Fingers crossed that everything will be ok when we get there.

Entertainment in Lobos Bahia is very amateur - 2-3 reps on stage putting on a show, bingo or quiz - followed by a disco (where nobody dances). Although the kids seemed happy enough to see their friends they had met at the pool. Older kids played snooker/pool or the air hockey game machine just outside the disco. We always sat beside the doors leading outside as the heat inside the disco was unbearable. During the day at the pool, the reps organise games and the hotel have their own 'La Bomba' 'dance with actions which the reps teach the kids at the poolside during the day so thay they can perform for their parents at the kiddie disco at night.

We were is block D beside the pool which was great. All the apartments near the building work were not rented out when we were there so you should be ok too.

Hi David

Could you e-mail me the new photos when you get them. Seems to be good news on the building works and hopefully the reception area will be completed by the time we go. I am on the countdown now that i have my tickets.

Hi Dana30 :)

I have a few concerns with the Lobos Bahia and would like the answers to a few questions if you do not mind, as we have to collect our tickets on saturday :? .
I suffer with asthma and i am concerned about the dust levels as i do not want to end up having an attack (i have been hospitalised before) and it could ruin our holiday. You also mentioned the mozzies did they affect your children and if so what did you use :?: (we have children aged 10, 7 and 5), also did you hire any fans during your stay if so did you get them on arrival. I only ask as it is our first time abroad, and i want to enjoy our first experience.

One last :?: would you go to Lobos Bahia again.

Just hope you can reply before saturday.

Thanks Dave & Family 8)

Hi Hunter

What date are you travelling? We are going on 17th august and can't wait. As long as the rooms are clean to sleep in, thats all we need. If it gets too noisy & dusty we intend to head for the beach instead of the pool, as my daughter who's 9 has asthma and i also am wary of dust triggering attacks. Not a nice experience. It has been 3 years since we were last in corralejo, probably won't recognise the place due to building works going on. I hope you enjoy your holiday.

Hi CJW :wave

We are due to fly :fly out on the 10th August, but I am getting a bit jittery as I have been on the fuerteventra.com web site at dinner time and read the lastest reports which do not look very promising, there is work still being carried out to the main reception and the work to build new restaurant/shop they have only just started, the main bar is closed and there is a new building just started across the road from the front of the Lobos Bahia so at the moment I am not very happy and have yet to relay my finding to my wife and children. :?

I would take a look and see what you think, I have also asked for pictures off the work as I will challenge my travel agent with them tomorrow with all the evidence I have before taking the tickets.

My only problem is it very difficult to get anything else for a family of five with children aged 10,7 and 5 we had to book this holiday in August last year to get double app.

Hope to speak to you soon.

Hi Hunter

Have spoke to travel agent yesterday evening, informed them of bar, mini-market etc closed due to refurbishment. I told them that when i booked this holiday, i expected to get all facilities that were in the brochure and if i got to this hotel and they were still closed then they would have to move me elsewhere. They said they would contact their programme manager and get back to me. Got phone call at 9.30am this morning from them explaining that the bar, gym and mini-market are due to re-open tomorrow (31st July), but might be running a few days late, but they will definitely be opened by the time we go and the main reception will be open by the time we get there. Asked them about the dust levels and they said that there was minimal dust and nothing to worry about.

Speak soon
