Playa Park Zensation

We usually stay at RIU hotels, although not in Fuerteventura, and so I’m measuring this hotel against those stays in those hotels. We upgraded to the all inclusive bronze package which suited us as we already had access to the roof top pool by staying in a Superior Junior suite in the newer Zen building which I would recommend as I think these rooms are probably nicer than the rooms in the older buildings. The maid cleaned the room thoroughly every day and made the beds. We did notice the room felt damp as did the bedding and our clothes which we put down to a combination of the extractor in the bathroom not working and floors being mopped every day. We remedied this by leaving the French windows open in the day and I’m sure the hotel would have fixed the extraction fan had we mentioned it. On arrival there was only one pillow each, some hangers were missing and the bottom sheet was rough and bobbled. These issues were promptly rectified. Overall the all inclusive was OK but not up to the same level as RIU which is also 24 hour. The snacks were adequate if not extensive between meals but there is no food if you are peckish later in the evening. You can have a coffee but not a hot chocolate from the roof top bar, you can have orange from the machine but not freshly squeezed juice. The buffet breakfast we found to be very good. Starters and deserts for lunch and dinner were very good. Main course we found a little hit and miss with some rather strange concoctions but there was always something. Gino and Sam work extremely hard (as do all the staff) and deserve special mention for their tireless work in the entertainment team. I would recommend this hotel and I’m sure it’s a better choice than the RIU Oliva beach in Fuerteventura but it’s not quite up to the standard of the better RIU’s elsewhere which we prefer.

Good location, close to a Villa Comercial El Campanario shopping centre with it's supermarket , smaller shops and bars/restaurants. Small Bus station 200 metres away for bus into Corralejo centre or to Puerto de Rosario in the other direction. Pleasant atmosphere, staff where polite,helpful and pleasant, reception dealt very well with any queries and advice.Good bar service whichever one you called at.Evening show entertainment was very good, Spanish Elvis was a bit tongue in cheek but he could really sing. Our room was in the Zensation block, good size, we had a first floor room with a lovely balcony looking onto the pool. Dressing gowns and slippers, mini bar. Clean and tidy. Noise was not an issue, our neighbours where quiet, we did not hear anything at night. We had use of the rooftop pool and bar which was nice. Pool area was nice, never had a problem getting a sunbed, pool was cold at this time of year You could use the Spa once a week (we stayed 14 nights) , and also eat in the a la carte restaurant once a week , that was a lovely experience. The main restaurant was good , never had an issue finding something nice to eat. We were Half Board Plus so breakfast and evening meal (or swap to lunch), Half Board Plus included beer and wine, soft drinks with the meal, which was great. We thought overall it was great value, in a good location, centre 15-20 minutes walk either main road or beach front, harbour 30 minutes. All the things we were hoping for before we went materialised (apart from the weather). Would stay again in the future on a return to Fuerteventura.

We had a lovely week at Playa Park, we went on a big extended family trip. Staff were all very accommodating and helpful throughout our stay. Food was good, the à la carte restaurant was lovely too- the swordfish was amazing! Buffet was good, fresh tasty food. We were a little disappointed with the snack bar, food was very limited and we saw flies on the food. We didn’t use this much due to the variety at the buffet at other times. Great location- a short walk in to the town and local amenities. Rooms- well maintained, beds were extremely comfortable, curtains blacked out the light well, very clean and cleaners were great. Premium package- complimentary drinks and able to dine in the à la carte more often. Also use of the roof top bar and pool which was a lot quieter. Transfer time was around 40 minutes so not too long! A few issues were: seating at evening time for the buffet, once the school holidays started it became very busy and our party had to sit separately. The slide for the pool also closed at 5pm which seemed very early- especially with the clock changes. The daytimes were very hot so this was an ideal time for our 2 year old to go in the pool, she was disappointed the slide was closed. You also aren’t allowed to use floats in the pool (rings and lilos) which we would understand if the pool was busy but there were very few people in it due to it being so cold. They could also do with some umbrellas that could move (they were fixed in to the ground), so we could have sat out 9 month old on the grass and be covered from the sun. Finally- Gino was brilliant. A great energy to the hotel, our little girl loved him and is still speaking about him now we are home - she’s even named a teddy after him that she bought in the airport. Thank you for a great week.

If I could give this 10 stars I would. This was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. From the moment we stepped into the foyer the staff were amazing, friendly and efficient. The rooms were beyond expectation more like a mini suite than a hotel room. To have a veranda back and front was fantastic. The food was the best I have had such a variety, always warm and fresh which is hard to find now. All wine white, red and rosy as well as beers and soft drinks were free and we were just half board. No big rush for sun beds either and great entertainment for all ages at night and during the day. Loved every moment, you won't be disappointed. ❤️

Lovely hotel, very nice rooms and pool area( pools not heated) and spa. Very helpful, charming staff. Not right in the centre, about a 15/20 min walk, which we really liked. S Small shopping plaza across the road. Food is buffet style, a little repetitive but good quality. There is an à la carte restaurant too but very similar food. Perfect hotel for a week in the sun.

This was our first trip to this hotel, and we will return. We loved our ground floor, one bedroom apartment overlooking the pool, with its own terrace, a huge room and well appointed. The buffet restaurant was exceptionally good, the variety and the quality of food was the best we have ever experienced in a buffet restaurant. Very friendly staff made the holiday for us.
