Hotel Bahia De Lobos

We really enjoyed the hotel; everything was very easy. The food was excellent with plenty of choice. There was fresh pizza and pasta every day, plus meat, fish, and an excellent salad bar. Our room was clean and spacious. The cooler in the room did not work; we reported it and it was changed that evening. The staff were friendly and helpful. There were only a couple of issues: the quiet pool area was dirty; we reported it and some staff made a poor attempt to clean the area, but it remained filthy. However, the fancy beds you had to pay €20 a day for were cleaned every day. The entertainment was hit and miss, plus there were not enough tables and seats. It stated it sat 168 people, however, there was only enough for 70. It is a shame as the hotel is lovely and very central; those couple of issues spoiled it.

We stayed at Lobos Bahia in Corralejo for one week, and unfortunately this hotel did not come close to the 4-star standard we were expecting. In our opinion, it is much more of a 2–3 star hotel.

To be fair, the room itself was cleaned well and the sheets were changed every day, which was one of the positives. The cleaners did a good job. However, the bathroom had mould growing on the ceiling and a strong musty smell. The fridge in the room also did not work, so everything inside it was warm. The beds were also quite hard and not particularly comfortable.

The staff were a mixed experience. Rami was absolutely lovely — happy, friendly and very helpful whenever we dealt with her, and she really stood out as someone who seemed to genuinely care about the guests. Unfortunately, we found that some of the other staff often appeared unhappy to be there and were not particularly welcoming or friendly. This made the overall atmosphere less pleasant than you would expect from a 4-star hotel.

The biggest disappointment by far was the all-inclusive food. There was a reasonable range of food available, but the quality and freshness were extremely poor. We found rotten grapes being served at breakfast, the juice was clearly artificial, and much of the food looked and tasted as though it had been carried over from previous meals, reheated and served again. After a few days, we ended up eating out most nights despite having paid for all-inclusive.

There are plenty of sun loungers and no parasols, We saw people buying their own parasols just to have shade. The sun is very intense so bring factor 50 because it’s near impossible to find an umbrella free.

The drinks were equally disappointing. The alcoholic drinks were extremely weak and tasted more like sugary syrup than proper alcoholic beverages.

The evening entertainment was another issue. There simply weren’t enough chairs/seating available for guests to comfortably watch the entertainment, which meant that finding somewhere to sit could be difficult.

Overall, although there were some positives — particularly the daily room cleaning and the few genuinely friendly staff members such as Rami — the negatives unfortunately outweighed them. The food quality, bathroom condition, broken fridge, uncomfortable beds, weak drinks, lack of seating and general atmosphere simply do not reflect what we would expect from a 4-star property.

After a full week, our overall impression was that this hotel is overrated and does not deserve its 4-star reputation. If you’re considering booking it, particularly on an all-inclusive basis, I would strongly recommend lowering your expectations.

Horrible food people were ill off raw meat and the rooms are out dated eat out every day which was looky as had money to say the least burger king is a 2 min walk wouldnt be going back here
