Going here on the 11th of February, just wondering if anyone has stayed here before and what they thought of it? Also what type of weather can be expected at this time of year?
Thanks
Chris |

The management of the Playa Park Club has banned jet skiers from staying at his hotel after constant problems with the typical chavs that tend to pursue this selfish and boorish pastime. He has experienced the usual rowdy drunken behaviour, fighting, vomiting vandalism and loud pop music that this group of yobbos indulge in.
The weather in February is appalling, snow and gale force winds. No one goes in Feb. ever. Try Tenerife. |

Zed Zed You are a naughty boy! Hope you had your fingers crossed when you wrote all those lies!!!!
Take it or leave it some do like jetskies but unfortunately I can not comment as I do not not the cost. Nor have I stayed in Playa Park. But I expect the weather will be a damn site better than in the UK. warm during the day 20ºC plus and a little chilly at night 15ºC ish!! |

| Fair enough Tim, sensible head on for the humourless. Stayed at the Playa Park but unfortunately got put in a tiny studio above the entrance. No balcony tiny sink in a cupboard really too small. The management wouldn`t change me to another apartment, said they were full, even offered to pay the difference, still wouldn`t move me. The rest of the place was ok, nice pool etc. Bit too far out for walking back, make sure you take a leak before you set off if you have been drinking beer ! The other thing that I remember was the fire alarm going off in the wee small hours. I duly reported to the muster point outside where I was one of only a handful of guests that had bothered. After ten minutes the receptionist came out to tell us that it was ok to go back in, only a "small" fire in the kitchen. Well, smoke was billowing out of the aircon ventilation exhaust, looked a bit more than a small fire to me. I hung around until the fire brigade had been and gone, didn`t fancy getting torched. |

| If you are staying in the apartments they are quite spacious and very nice with a balcony at the front and at the back. As zz said the studios are very small. Complex is very nice with a decent pool and established gardens. Weather in Feb can be very mixed but hopefully it might improve from how it is at the moment. Sun cloud rain and quite cold in the evening. I'm sure you'll enjoy it there. |

| We are off to the Playa Park at the beginning of December, we booked as self catering but have been told that eating out in Corralejo is very expensive now, any ideas on how to keep the costs down [other than bringing over lots of corned beef.........] Does anyone know if we can upgrade to half board, is the food any good at the Playa Park? |

Eating out in Corralejo is no more expnsive in Euros than it was 3 Years ago! It may seem a little more expensive to the Brits because of the Euro exchange BUT many Europeans that use the Euro always comment that it is a lot cheaper here than there own country!!
Many bars and resturants are putting on special prices to help the brits you may be pleasantly surprised! |

| Cheap food can be had in Corralejo, try the Talk of the town first, cheap and cheerful. Plenty of supermarkets for self catering. All sorts of food available in town including fresh fish and meat. Have fun searching it out. |

| Thanks to both of you, winter has started in earnest here, with gale force winds and buckets of rain........... if I could persuade my wife I'd be over there now on a cheapie holiday, still December is not that far away. |
