Playitas Aparthotel - Sports Resort

(+) The hotel is just amazing for those, who like active live style and do not want to stop training during vacation. We had super nice 2 weeks of family holidays at the end of October - beginning of November. We stayed in Playitas Aparthotel and had a spacious room (3104) with AC, double bed, sofa, cot, fridge, cooking plate, everything for cooking and dining, small workplace with a table and chairs, balcony with chairs, drying rack, safe box. I liked a lot motivating citations of famous sportsmen all over the hotel territory. All training instructors were great - Stephane, Jörg&Chris, Charlotte, Stephanie, Jonna and Lilian. My favorites were the exercises similar to cross fit in the Wod box - Metcon, power and endurance trainings etc. There is a great long promenade along the hotel. People go for walks, runs, cycling. The sunrises are just stunning. You can go for a short hike to the nearest mountains. Very beautiful. The landscape reminds of high altitude plateaus north of Chile and Bolivia. We had half board with breakfast and dinner included. My favorite dish during breakfast was müsli with various seeds, dry fruits and local honey. I was also impressed by the number of different milks (including plant based). Fresh juice is very tasty, especially the carrot one! The hotel has a laundry with 2 washing machines. One laundry run costs 3€ but you need to bring your detergent (available at the shop on the territory of the hotel). A convenience store on the hotel territory is very convenient :) And the prices are fine, not much more expensive compared to the Spar in the neighboring village. I would say, the selection of products is better at the hotel. If you need a bigger store, Gran Tarajal is 5km away. There are various running and trail running options (to the light house or to Gran Tarajal village). (-) In my opinion the tiles by the kids pool are too slippery when wet (which is often). It would have been nice to have more than 2 washing machines at the laundry room. In my opinion, when the hotel is full, there is not enough personnel. For example, a couple of times our room was not cleaned, since the cleaning ladies had to prepare the rooms for those, who were checking in and we had a specific time window - from 9 till 12, since our daughter had her nap after lunch. Floor is never (or rarely) vacuum cleaned, only swept and mopped. We tried to rent kids mini bicycle but we found the rental rules very unfair: if you come to pick it up at 3 pm you still have to pay for full day and return it before 6 pm. Climbing wall is outdated. Though it might be fun for kids or people trying it first time, it would make a difference if it was more modern (an overhang or moon board would be a great alternative for the same space and difficulty). We missed kids disco (it is organized only once a week). An easy option would be some kids music from 7 or 7.30 pm at pool bar with some lights. Kids can entertain themselves. Heated pool for kids would

Overall excellent holiday for my wife and I aged 66 and 73. Self contained “resort” with loads to do every day. We played Padel, Basketball did a few classes in the pool and sports zone. Food is institutional and requires review to make Playitas special. Dishes contained great produce but cooking is rudimentary with no quality sauces or stocks. Buffet style restaurants where “hot” plates never got above 73 degrees, so food was always (always) cold. However “cold food” salads, fruit, desserts were exceptionally fresh. Hotel Rooms were lovely, beds fantastic, staff good (if a bit laid back) and overall ambiance was great.

We stayed there for two weeks over x-mas and new year. Beside Golf, Tennis and Hiking we favored, Playitas offers dozens of other activities. Most for low or no money on a very high level. The appartments are clean, spaceous and well equipped with kitchen and everyting needed to prepare a meal when needed. Spontaneous bookings for their buffet restaurants are always possible. The Bodega restaurant within the Hotel complex I found not so good. People in general are helpful and always friendly. There is a little supermarket with limited choice within the hotel premises. Bigger supermarkets, grocery stores, some small but good restaurants and whatever necessary is available in nearby Gran Tarajal which, however, is too far to walk. I would recommend to book a small car for the stay to visit some good places and restaurants on Fuerteventura and neighboring islands. Ferryboats leave from Puerto Rosario, Moro Jable and Corralejo. Specially recommendable, a day trip to Lanzarote from Corralejo which costs around 140Euros for two person with a car. Parking near the Hotel is free.

Wow what a place we visited here in February for a week with other members of our kids swimming club and what an amazing week we had. The apartments were very large and spotlessly clean. The facilities within the hotel were unreal and truly catered for everyone within our group. It was one of the swimmers birthday whilst we were here we purchased a cake from the hotel to have with dinner and it was fantastic. We have already booked our return for next year. Can’t wait

We stayed here a week in February 2024. The hotel and the surroundings were actually better to photos in hotel websites. The goods: + Lots of free classes. And I mean a lot. 6+ every day + Good gym. + Trails next to the hotel offer 150m+ elevation gain. If you run to and back Grand Tarajel, you can run approx 15 km loop with 800 meters of elevation gain. + Food is healthy and good quality. Do not expect any top culinary experiences, but there are lots of options available and the quality is good. The bads: - The cleaning was somewhat irregular. Sometimes we got clean towels, sometimes just one of the towels on the floor was changed to a clean one. - Beachtowel policy was really weird. You need to pay to get a clean towel. - There is nothing around the resort. Or you can wal to Las Playitas and Grand Tarajel, but there is not much to see there. In addition to these, there is just sand. We did not swim or bike during our stay, but the facilities for these were great. In overall, we had a good stay. Lots of sport, sun, and healthy food.
