Location
It was like a school dinnerhall.and it was cold.we ended up eating out after four days and all our spending money went on food. Which defeats the purpose of going all inclusive.
You would go to the bar with one person serving,and had to wait 15 minutes to get a drink which you were only allowed 2 at a time this holiday has put me off all inclusive holidays.
I would never go back again.

Got exactly that, fairly quite and relaxed and away from the busy parts of town.
Complex is very large and very good. Good facilities all round and looks the part, two massive pools, more than adequate amount of sunbeds, lovely gardens with trees gowing bananas, tennis court, volleyball court, football pitch, kids games (air hockey etc), bike hire etc.
Was quite impressed with the room as when you book a hotel room you normally get a small bedroom and bathroom, this had a large living room with 2 large couches (Converted to beds), a kitchenette and a decent sized bathroom. A family of four could easily stay in this comfortably.
Was not impressed with the room cleaners, supposed to come every other day, they definitely did not, they seem to come probably twice in the whole week. Had to phone reception to get change of towels and bed sheets.
Hotel food was ok, fairly typical of all inclusive, although not much choice at breakfast compared to some places I have stayed.
Quality and variation of food is definitely one thing that does change according to the star rating of the hotel, so for 3 star I was happy enough.
Location is good if you want a peaceful holiday and its only a short walk to town centre, ideal for a nice walk in the sun. Taxis are cheap as well if you dont fancy the walk.
Not much in the way of entertainment, they had a couple of things on and their own team of entertainers. They had bingo most nights.
So again its good if your looking for a peaceful break.
Was not happy with the bar, only ever 1 bar man on, had murder at bar with one of them as he kept pointing at the sign saying customers would only be served with 2 alcholic drinks at a time (only done this as it got close to 11 pm!)
I pointed out to barman over and over again and this is my pet hate of some AI places that they didn't have pint glasses, so I would get 2 beers every time as that is only 1 drink!
Bar snacks are only on at 3.30 - 4.30. This isn't good for AI as the idea is to be able to skip meals as and when it suits you and get bar snacks!
I would definitely say this is good value for money and would definitely recommend it to anyone, ok theres a few niggling things but there only little things that you can live with, the sort of things you get everywhere you go.

The staff on reception on our arrival were rude and even our rep didn't have a clue what she was on about. Turns out they want your flight tickets to photo copy!!! The bar served half full plastic cups of flat coke/sprite/fanta.
The beer wasn't much better and the wine was like vinegar... We are not fussy eaters but I can't even think of a word to describe any of the food. The apple juice we poured for our son was brown with foam on the top, lord only knows where that came from.
All in all no way would I ever think about visiting this hotel ever again. For those looking for all inclusive this is not a good option for you. It may well be fine for those looking for self catering.

We'd looked the Oasis Tamarindo up on the internet. so the new the rooms looked lovely which they were. The maids came 4 times in the week we were there, we got clean towels and the beds made.
The pool and bar area were really well kept with maids cleaning the pool and surrounding areas before people got to the pool.
The pools were salt water and very cold my kids mainly played in the kids pool which did warm up as the day went on and was only knee depth in the middle there was plenty of sun beds so no need to get up early to put your towel out.
The food on the other hand was ok but repetative. Breakfast was full cooked breakfast a choice of ceareals bread and crossants and fruit. Dinner was some kind of meat covered in sauce different every day with a sign to say what it is fish, rice, potatoes, pasta, pasta sauce and chips every dinner and tea the puddings were ice cream, jelly, cake (which was lovely),and chocolate dessert.
The snack bar was on 3.30-4.30pm you could get burgers, hot dogs, chips, sandwiches, fruit and ice cream from the pool bar.
The entertainment started with a mini disco then moved on to the other entertanment which was bingo sometimes, a snake show which u got to have photo taken with a snake for 20 euros if you wanted.
We didnt always go to the entertainment and went in to the centre to watch the football, the seven pints in the plaza is nice. Tiffanys round the corner does nice food if you get fed up with the choice on site, and the Winningpost which is a nice pub that has racing, football and big brother on is just past Tiffanys.
The Baku waterpark is just up the road and so is the market which is on on a Mon and Fri 9am-1pm which you could get some nice fake designer makes in handbags glasses belts etc but barter with them.
I would probably go back to the Oasis Tamarindo but on a selfcatering basis

The pool which is supposed to be heated was freezing! I didn't like all the extra costs: sunbed cushions, iron, TV, toaster, safe. These were not expensive but by the time you've paid deposits which was usually 10 euro for each item most of your spending money is gone! You get it back but its no use at the end of your holiday.
The entertainment was not up to much, bingo, karaoke, and watching the entertainment staff dance.
The food is very basic but with plenty of choice, nothing to make your mouth water but enough to fill you up. It was fine for the sort of holiday I went for which was me and my sister-in-law just to relax.

The all inclusive deal was ideal for us as we didn't want to spend much while we were out there as it was a last min decision to go away.
The all inclusive wasn't how I had imagined it though compared to other all inclusive properties I've stayed in before.
There was breakfast from 7 till 10.30am lunch was 1pm to 3pm snacks (hot-dog, burger, chips, sandwiches, fruit, ice cream etc) 3.30 - 4.30pm and dinner from 6.30 till 9pm. drinks were served from 10am to 11pm everyday.
They were very strict with there times as there was only one member of staff on in the bar where food and drinks were served one of my party members was standing in the Que when it was time to get served for an ice cream he said no time is up 4.30pm it finishes it was 7 Min's and she had been standing waiting till other guests had been served.
The cleanliness of the hotel was great couldn't of asked for it to be cleaner the rooms were immaculate cleaners were in everyday the grounds were clean restaurant and bar was clean in the accom there more like 1 bed apartments as this is an all inclusive and self catering property. There was a large living room with too massive settees which must turn into beds a TV which you can hire for 30euros a week a kitchenette with hob kettle and fridge, full crockery and cutlery sets and pans.
Large bedroom with two single beds pushe together a safe which is 5euros for 1week with a deposit of 10 euros which you get back at the end of the holiday.
The bathroom was lovely and clean full bath massive mirror and sink very clean accom.
The location was ideal 5 Mins by taxi 2.40 euros which is nothing I wouldn't try walking it though loads of shops bars and restaurants if you fancy eating out go to the plaza in the plaza go to slow boat 2 chinese its fantastic 7courses for 7.50 euros for drinks go to rock cafe and for clothes shopping girls go to mango its great.
If its a clubbing holiday your after there I'd only one club that we heard of its called waikiki on the beach and open till 5am every day.
We went to the beach on the sand dunes next to the 2 Rui Hotels it was 4 euros by taxi but amazing beach white carribbean sand lovely warm water.
The sunbed hire was 3 euros a day and umbrellas were 3 euros a day ( great wind blocks).
The entertainment in the hotel was shocking it was for the oldies bingo, bingo, bingo horse race night and bingo however, the best night was a blues brothers evening that was a laugh. Any other night avoid if bingo isn't your thing apart from anything else it will take you 40mins just to get served one drink, the ques are massive and again only one member of staff on the bar all evening.
As far as the resort goes this is meant to be the liveliest one its not lively at all perfect for all types of groups but certainly not 18-30 club.
From the harbour you can go to Lanzarote for the day 24 pound per person return for the day and it only takes 12 minutes.
The water park was closed for refurb but its now open again it looked like a really good day out and we were sad it was closed.
Would definitely come back to Fuerteventura again.

The food was basic but well cooked. The complex is the cleanest we have ever stayed on in thirty years of holidays abroad.
Bit of a trek into centre but taxis are cheap and reliable only about 2.5 euros.
Harbour is lovely if you need to chill this place comes highly recommended.

The rooms are very big with fridge and ckr although we were all inc. they came in for making tea and keeping drinks cool.
Food was ok not always as hot as you might like but there is a microwave to warm it up.entertainment was a bit mixed some nights better than others and theres always the bingo!!
Quite a walk from the town but a taxi is only 2.8 euro's,nice bars and restaurants near the harbour try TIO BERNAHDE a typical Canarian restaurant.
Lower pool is heated but the top one is freezing.
Take a jumper in Feb very cool at night but hot in the day

The rooms are spacious and cleaned on a regular basis.
The food was good for the price we paid although it did get a bit samey. We ate out a couple of times in the town as there were plenty of bars and restaurants available.
The staff worked very hard and were always polite and willing to help.
As for the entertainment! The Animacion team are terrific. We did not have any children but went down to the bar to join in at 8.15 every night. The adult entertainment is good too, with shows horse racing and Karaoke. The nightly bingo is good fun.
The only downside was the bar is quite open and did get a little chilly on a night. The patio heaters helped, but do pack a jumper.

The staff were absolutely brilliant especially the entertainment staff of Ollie, Edith and Tara. My daughter had the time of her life, she did steal the show a bit though.
The rooms were immaculate and the food was good, a bit samey after two weeks but still good.
The location of the hotel was a bit out the way but if you like going for a walk in the sun then it is ideal.
Overall I would go back any day that is why we have booked up to go back in June.
