Hello,
we are off to Corralejo in July and staying at Las Dunas Residential. I haven't been to Fuerteventura for 20 years and would appreciate any tips, ideas on what to do, where to go and if anyone has been to Las Dunas Residential, I'd love to know what you thought of the complex. The youngest is 15yrs old, so don't have to worry about restrictions etc. Thanks in advance.

Been to Corralejo twice in the past year, although haven't stayed in Las Dunas, hopefully someone else can help you on that front. When I was going I found the reviews on travelrepublic.ie were very helpful, and when we got to our apts both times found they had been mostly accurate.

Personally I recommend hiring a car (not sure on your numbers but a taxi from the airport - Corrie return is about €50 each way, so that 100 can make car hire very cheap when you think about it.

The waterpark was a great day out in walking distance as well as a day at the famous Grandes Playas just outside town is not to be missed. There are surf schools there at a fraction of the cost you would pay here, about 40 per day I believe.

If you have a car I'd recommend an evening in El Cotillo (bout 20 mins drive west) there's some nice restaurants and stunning scenery and sunsets. For shopping it's worth a trip to the capital, Puerto Del Rosario to the excellent Las Rotondas centre, which has most of the high street shops found here at more reasonable prices (tax free I believe...)

Las Dunas look nice. I stayed in a neighboring complex and was a little jealous.

The water park is about a 2 min walk away and i'd definitely recommend it.

As regards things to do, there is a national park just south of corralejo which is more than worth a look.

Lots of shops, pubs and places to eat along the main street, Personally i'd recommend casa de la carne for the steak of your life.

Thanks, someone else told me this place was good, so will check it out. Can't wait to go now, we booked the place direct and got flights ourselves. We saved nearly 600e for a 3 bed townhouse including flights,taxi transfers etc, compared to a one bed apt with a famous travel operator.
Was also told to go to El Sombrero restaurant and Imagine. Thanks again for your reply.
